260Zed

Yeah I think he's done that before. :cheeky: See the chunk of rubber hit the windscreen near the end?

Thats not a bad idea, when I adjust the rear mount so I don't have to use the spacer I might drill out that front hole larger aswell. It would be good to have the front of the seat a little lower. I had more issues with the drivers side fitting than the passengers. But I'm still happy with it. Luke

I was just looking at one produced by datsun spirit http://store.datsunspirit.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=72 But this is the only one I have seen so far... Luke

I got the spacers from a bolt shop, basically they are a large threaded washer, except the washer is 32mm thick(!). This lets the rear mount of the rail connect the the rear mount on the zed. I'm actually thinking about adjusting the rx7 rail so the spacers aren't required, that will mean drilling out the rear mounting tab on the rails, then re-welding it further down the rail. But yeah haven't done that yet... Luke

Thanks!!

I'd also be interested in the bracket. Weighing up the cost difference between machining new brackets or just ordering the US maxima brackets... Luke

That looks really, really good. Congratulations!

Good to see another Brisbane-ite! Hope that you find a suitable zed, what are you looking for? Cheers Luke

snipHehe yeah, that happens to me accidently too... Seriously, hope it isn't too bad, good luck Luke

The model number and distributor is in my post in the linked thread. I can't remember the manufacturer as it was a year or more ago... Coventry Auto Parts IM119

hmm, I've never seen a lid like that on an oz zed. Does it fit only the 240 centre console? How much will it set you back? If you end up getting it, pls post how it goes. Cheers Luke

If you mean the e12-80 module, you can get it in oz, aftermarket: http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15169&highlight=ignition+module Cheers Luke

Nice Pictures, I could only get there in the morning for about an hour but enjoyed in none the less. I hope mine will be there for next year! (if WIAT doesn't happen again!)

I can't wait! I hope I see some of you there! Luke

Um, I think FD's are series 6-8 (?) which is about 92 onwards i believe. I'm only 5'10 but I've mounted them a little higher than the originals which leave me with about 2 inches before the headliner. You could prolly get them a little lower than what I have... From the base pics of the MX5 seats that I've seen they both look very similar. I wouldn't be surprised if they use the same base maybe...Thanks for the get well wishes. Getting better slowly. Been a long road. Can't wait to get the Z up and going again though. Only have to re-fit the windscreen and new weather-stripping.:devious:

Triples! I'm sure I'll think of something more...

Well they are finally in! I got a pair of FD RX7 seats a couple of months ago to fit in the zed while I was re-doing the rest of the interior. After an unseen delay (motorcycle...hospital...pain) I've finally been able to finish the job. First off you have to remove the seat belt buckles from the rx7 seats and also remove the rod thingo that is on the inside of each seat. The rx7 seats have a locating pin on the front of the seat rails, in the same spot on the Z has a slightly smaller hole. I drilled this hole out to be 8mm (only about another 1mm). This lets the rx7 rail sit into the Z seat mounts. Then by bending the mounts on the rx7 rails the rails will fit snug on the Z seat mounts (with the 32mm bolt spacers on the rear mounts). The drivers side required a slight elongation of the front locating holes (bout 3mm). Done. I did think about keeping the Z rails, but they are a little too short for the mounts on the rx7 rails, as the seats have a FRP base I couldnt see how to fix them safely without a steel plate which to be honest I really couldn't be arsed doing. By keeping the rx7 rails, you get a much smoother adjustment, as well as the neat switch that lets the driver retract the passenger seat. Please excuse the pic quality as they were taken on my phone. I'm happy with the swap, the seats hold you in waaaay tighter than the old Z ones. Now to get the rest of the car back together... Luke

Air/gases ARE modelled as fluids. Areas are only part of the system. Adding two pipes instead of one will also increase the perimeter of the pipes, thus creating more friction. But for tips of an exhaust, doesn't really matter that much...

Geez, it's well and truely cactus huh. Difficult to see how someone could let it get that bad when they walk past it every day.
