I'd like to know how accurate 30 year old speedos are at such high speeds.

How about Kuwait? And some countries in the middle east? And most of the European countries are LHD. The C110 was made in left-hand-drive format also, so I am not surprised! How many LHD C10's do you reckon there'd be in the world now? ....Not many!

Bloody yanks. (lunar eclipse was not visible in Australia)

Well done Bruce! Now we get to see more pics Don't we Bruce? Don't we?

Looks like it's going to go for less than it's worth in my mind. A car in such great condition doesn't come up every day - let alone for such a price! I hope it goes to a good home too Post pics of your Cortina if you get it!

Hi guys, I have a copy of this magazine myself - it's great!! This article is about the all new Datsun 240Z Sports. The test car is actually a Fairlady Z with a rear spoiler and dual exhaust to boot. I don't have anything to do with the sale, but I really enjoyed the article (and the entire mag for that matter!). http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=32063&item=2497646236&rd=1 Unfortunately I think it may be a little bit tatty for that asking price. But we'll see.

That mini was shortened! Bloody insane though! And the Lotus7/Caterham/Westfield thing wasn't too bad either.

The site is a bit overwhelming isn't it? Don't worry, after you settle in you'll come to realise most of the links you won't need! What you do need is the "Search" one - top right menu. Here's where you'll find most of your meaty stuff. Also click "Forums" on the top left, and you can browse the forums by section. Those are the two main links you need for searching old topics. If youcan't find something, just make a topic and someone should be able to point you in the right direction, or in the rare case that it hasn't been asked before, I guarantee you someone will know!!!

JMT240KGTR I think James' handle is, and before he swapped his for a Valiant he had a load of spares. I wonder if he sold the spares with the car or not... might be worth giving him a PM.

Hey don't apologise, without it these guys lucky enough to be in Japan might not see it! And that's good for us too, cos hopefully they take pictures (hint hint!)

I love the Equip 4 spokes. I love Watanabes more though Here are a few links to wheels I really like. I'm not too great with all the names, but I know what I like! http://page8.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/h17326399 http://page8.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/h16919682 http://page9.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/k5398138 http://page9.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/k7926342 http://page9.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/k6155139 http://page11.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/n8800270 (:cheeky:)

http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14661 That thread didn't last long unfortunately - interesting that they actually have a celebratory exhibit at Ginza!! Wouldn't that just be the best?? I would love to see that 126X if they still have it. I think it's really cool. Could just be my imagination, but I see certain C110 cues on it.. Would love to see pics too Ben.

Hey Bruce! Welcome to the club If you have any pics of the C110 I'd love to see them (as I'm sure a few others are too)!! A question though - I thought the VIN prefix for the R32 GT-R was "BNR32".. am I mistaken?

When, roughly, did the bevel design change for the "Datsun" hatch badge? And did the bevel on the "240Z" badge also change from sharp to rounded? I remember my Z had the rounded Datsun badge, with an angular 240Z badge. It looked wrong... probably was!

Here's a question - has anyone attempted to restore a plastic badge before? What would be the best way to remove the paint to get down to bare plastic? Would paint stripper damage the plastic? Hope someone can help!
