George, NO.

Maybe I'm just looking in all the wrong places

I love it. Better than that whacko Z4 thing (imagine a "coupe" version of that - YUCK!!!)

Yep, that's it. Interestingly my car also has two keys only the ignition one is much more modern-looking, with a plastic bit around the bit you hold (I'm sure it has a name). Looks great!

Oh I see! Great, I'll try to organise something with Gareth and let you know. And I'll be sure to leave you a token of my appreciation too.

Hi mate, $10,000 will get you a VERY NICE Zed indeed, if you can hang out long enough to find one !

Alan, Thank you for clearing that up. It always made me wonder...

Nice one! Here's a question to throw in, there are two little rectangular bits of metal/plastic about half way up either side of the inside of the hatch, right next to the water sealing rubber. They seem to serve no purpose, but why are they there? *I can't post a picture for obvious reasons*

Hi As an owner of a single carb "Skyline" I can tell you that that air filter case isn't from my car (see attached picture). Now I'm not sure if they changed the design of the air filter at any stage during the C110's life, but I wouldn't have thought so. Like Alan said, it could be from a Gloria or a Cedric or something. In my opinion it wasn't from a C110 Skyline. Whatever it is, it's not that special anyway! Oh wait, yes it is, do you want to swap your dual SU's for my special single carb unit? very special ya know...

! Pass the parcel! Thanks for your support guys it's great... Alan, where is Dandenong? Gareth, do you know what kind of condition this gearbox is in? (would hate to ask you guys to go out of your way only to get a gearbox that needs a full rebuild...) It just amazes me how supportive this place is...

Reegan, there are heaps of us Aussies on the boards!!! I'm sure the Sydney guys will keep an eye out for ya. Welcome to the club

Mate, like Alan said, this is kats' topic, if you want to continue can you just please start a new thread? I really enjoy listening in to your two (very different) views on the matter but I dont think this is the right place.

Go to hell man... thats so nice...

BRAIN OVERLOAD! There is sooo much new precious information in this topic, I'm going to have to read it over again to make sure I remember it all, you are a very determined man Kats, and I think you have a bit of luck going for you too!!! You must be so proud and honoured to have met all of those men! Thank you so incredibly much for your input, I for one am infatuated with history and history of the Z car is even more exciting! What the best part about this is that the information is so hard to come by, that even after 30 years NEW information is coming out (for example the steering wheel! Do you know how many people have been confused by this?!). Thank you again kats

Yeah, I think teh poll should be "LEAST favourite way to..." as I seem to hear more horror stories than happy stories!

Yes it's from a series 3 bluebird, not a 1600....... But yeah I think I'll just keep my eye out for a "proper" gearbox, chances are the ratios will be more suited to my car. Thing is I don't have a clue about all the different boxes available and all the ratios of them. If I did I would make a website to display it all as it can get very confusing...

I probably need ot update mine now!!! Now I don't have to imagine myself driving anything else, cos I drive my darling 240K "it's a skyline damnit!" The same engine as the Zed, except with a single carb, different head, with the car being about 300kg heavier and automatic..... not the fastest but totally immaculate and I guess more practical (I keep telling myself that). Sold my Zed a while ago and now I'm 18, yeah just over a year of ownership but the $$$ told me I couldn't have it. The passion is not dead though, just dormant...

I loved physics at school too, until I got stuck with a teacher who just wasnt compatible with me, and I ended up dreading going to class...

...and I thought Physics would never come back to get me again...

Geez guys, sounds like youre installing weapons onto your car... I didn't know car jacking was THAT bad in the US...

I THOUGHT I WAS SPECIFIC ENOUGH FOR SOMEONE NOT TO MAKE THAT JOKE!! Gahhhhh...

I do like hte 2nd one But yeah they're both Jap-Spec cars...
