  1. Wow, these topics always make me insanely jealous... you guys are so lucky to have Z cars pop up on eBay DAILY!! So much choice

    Well, generally darker makes things look LESS clean. Personally I would take the lights apart and clean them properly so they look as bright as possible... not just because I think it would look better but for safety reasons too!! If you still want to go for it, I believe you can get a spray-on tinter made for this kind of application... I don't know, never looked into it. Maybe another member here could help, or you could always try a "JDM Honda yo" forum or something..
  3. Mate, they look great already!!!
  4. Yeah, actually my brother had the same problem with his shifter - was a dodgy gearknob! Hopefully that's the answer - would be nice and easy
  5. I wouldn't go that far. I have bought on second chance offers numerous times when the seller has a duplicate or the top bidder did not pay. It happens, but you have to be careful about it to make sure you aren't being fooled by shimming or otherwise. Just make sure it's all through eBay and the feedback ratings are all good. And if you think you're being scammed, you most probably are.
  6. Bonzi Buddy??
  7. I christened my car (not a Z) Jean, after the previous/original owner.

    If it's one of these, I do believe 440k should be interested! (The blue car is missing one)

  10. That second picture is excellent isn't it!! Sorry Pete He doesn't happen to own a motorbike does he? Before my car begun its transformation some dude on a bike came next to me and asked if he could buy my car "because he needed parts for his restoration". Bugger that, calling my car a parts car!! The nerve!!! Great information Jim! Miles, how sure are you that "the Prince name ceased to exist" after the Prince-Nissan merger? Sure the Skylines sold as Nissans from then on but I would have expected a similar story to Australia in the way they handled badging and advertising. I'm not saying you're wrong, just wondering if you could expand on that a bit?

    First rule of cars - big wheels aren't always best.

  20. Wow, that looks like a very nice one too. Thanks for posting!
  21. What bastards!! Definitely some bad luck Will cost you a little bit to have new ones made, but that's not the point is it. It's stuff like this that make you really want to believe in karma!
