Blue 'n' Black. I like it - very original colour scheme.

Actually I thought a lot wanted the "Aero" roof, because then more people can see them. Isn't that the whole idea of a Supra?

Ahh so there IS such thing as a plastic polish - what brand was this do you remember?

Probably just a L16 from a later model 1600... There's an old Bluebird in Brisbane for $250 too Rob - did you see that? Or is it sold already... ad said "thousands spent"

My advice: Sell your Z, and buy a pre-molested one. NO MORE Z's need to have the Hannibal treatment.

Thanks Andrew! So I should be replacing the external rubber strip and the inner top strip aswell as the glass? For the mean time I will just clean them. Any Australian members know of a source for side glass?

It's a pretty common problem on old cars, I thought pictures weren't really neccessary - they're long scratches, not cracks sorry. I'll go snap a picture now

Guys, My windows (especially the driver side!) are all err.. cracked? I'm not sure how to describe it. They have lots of vertical lines on them. Anyway, is there any way to repair this? If not, is there any source in Australia for new glass (if you know a place with Z glass they might have K glass too)? Most glass shops (O'Brien and the gang) only do front windscreens. Finally, why does this problem occur??

I use LRP since the engine was made for leaded fuel... I've used unleaded a few times with the additives but didn't really notice much difference except it was annoying to do and not cheap either. I think you can get something done to your engine (hardened valve seats?) which will let you use unleaded. Perhaps someone can clarify...

Hey, it's Japan! What do you expect! The lights I put on ebay are going on a 120Y Coupe. Should definitely be an improvement over the stock lights dont you think?

Awesome!!! I think the pewter beige-ish colour would look great against green. But so would dark grey :devious: It's awesome to see more Watanabes... I think they will look superb on your car. Good choice Chris!! Two thumbs up!!

If you guys find anything good, please post it I'll be doing some suspension stuff soon and have little to no experience with it all, so it would be brilliant to get some good advice

Tom, I sent you a PM. Up the top right you should see a link to your PM's

" Ended: Sep-09-04 14:25:39 PDT" A bit late mate - sorry!

Welcome Tom!! We have quite a few followers here, but lately there's been little action... please post pics of your car! I'd like to see it no matter what condition And it's good that it's a 73 - what's your build date exactly? Not many '73 cars. The GT-R was only produced in 1973 FYI and so as you can imagine it's very rare... And you know what rare means! Expensive. I have a second hand fibreglass replica of a GT-R grille on my car - that cost a little over $400 incl. shipping IIRC, and I think I got a good deal. So yeah even repro parts aren't cheap. The trouble with big parts is the shipping cost As you ask for something similar, have a look at Michael's (Kyteler) gallery. He's got a stock GL grille with the centre cut out, and the whole thing painted black. Definitely a cheaper option and most wouldn't notice the difference... Anyway, welcome to the (sub)club

I WANT THAT SILVIA! Never ever ever seen one before (except in books and that)

are you teasing me? Nice wheel (I love the round holes - I want to get a wheel like that except sans wood), but I meant pictures of the other wheels :devious: I assumed they were Watanabes... are they?

Are you SURE the wiring is good? Make sure you check very carefully on the sockets as corrosion will also stop lights working.

My eyes light up... Pictures? Do we have pictures???

There is an old thread about this - Alan knows a bit about it (fancy that eh?) but the thread is somewhat elusive... I think the conclusion we came up with is that they were common (standard?) in some other markets, and were there to ensure the bumpers wouldn't catch onto things...
