hahaha 'Got Tripod?' Cool video though Next time strap it into the car

Are the extractors off a Z? If so, I'll buy them!

The Nissan badge I was talking about:

How about an original "NISSAN" badge, or maybe the "5 Speed" badge seen on some 240z's... edit: oh i see your car isn't a 5-speed. That probably wouldn't work then

Do you know precisely what 'legal' entails? According to what I could find: Now, as far as I know for the '74 240K the widest tyre was 175. That means 225 is the widest you could go... You could probably argue 185, and that's still only 235 - which would fit on the 8.5 and according to Yokohama you can fit that onto the 8.5 without too much stretch. I've got 14x7.5 front and 14x9 rear and with about zero camber they fit just under the flares. When I lowered it the negative camber brought the top of the wheel in more (and the bottom out more) - I'm guessing you'd install a camber kit too (or do the modification 440k has details on (if engineerable!)). I think that is just the maximum-width table there, the difference being the GC110 doesn't have flares, 'course! Out of factory they both came with 5" steel wheels. So yeah, did I confuse issues even more?

Wow, they are all pretty interesting for different reasons.. love that silver one too Bruce! It costs a fair bit to import a car to aus, but if you own and "use" it for 12 months before you import then it's not that bad! Got any friends in NZ??

False! The German accent isnt even like that... www.ratdat.com is a good place for a quick-n-easy history of NISSAN www.datsunhistory.com is also good.

Glad-wrap? Rub some brasso on it should do the trick

Ahh sorry Rick my post was a little ambiguous but I changed it now - never did I mean no one joins the military for patriotic reasons. I'm just saying sometimes the reasons aren't so noble after all - I'm talking about the modern military here, back in your day (sorry to use that phrase!) I imagine it was a lot less political and a lot more respected. From what I see on the media and hear from my grandfather that was the case - would you agree???

O'Briens could get me one for $320 I think, but got it through a panel shop for $200 - dont think they're that hard to find as long as you're not a stickler for originality!

Necessary?? I wouldn't say that. Human rights come from how you were brought up - who said the world should operate our way? I'm not saying don't defend your country, I'm saying a lot of the time wars are fought for very different, less idealistic "king-and-country" reasons. Sure, it's for protecting the women and children! No one's going to admit to joining to become rich - if they did they'd be about as stupid as that "Crook" guy! I know a few people who joined the military because it was "exciting" or "cool" - basically because they had no other options. In other words, to make money. In fact, the whole spin the Australian military has now with its advertising campaign (multi-million dollar, thankyouverymuch tax payers) is that joining the army is a career. Too right! I keep trying to find a substantial point in what he said, but there's nothing. He's obviously not only dumb but also messed up in the head. What's the bet something big happened close to him involving the military?? Maybe the dumb bully at school who always teased him went off to join the army and was successful, while his "dot com" business lost all his parent's money and now they've disowned him? Disclaimer: BTW just trying to throw a spanner in the mix - we can't all say how great America is and how 'stoopid' that guy is. As a member of the military you have my greatest respect. Just being a devil's advocate here

Looking nice! Not for me though... frankly I'm more excited about this Bluebird!!

haha, knew you'd come back... they aaaalllways do.

Not only featured, but the 240Z in Max Tune 2 is the final, ultimate car. Go hard!!

Awesome! I can't wait to see how she goes - I hope you will take lots of pictures? Are you still eager to do a "Japanese police car" theme? I'd be interested to know how thorough you're planning on being... think it will look awesome regardless though This is getting exciting!

Thanks Mike! Let's see some more action in the 240K forums to give me something to do please
