Alright guys I now have the clutch kit and all new bushes for the gearstick (except one which should arrive soon). I tried getting the spigot bush but the guy at Repco said he needed to know what size etc. it was... Can anyone help me out with this one? Maybe I should go back to Nissan and ask there?

Not to mention side intrusion bars...!

Interesting. A fair few Roadsters get around here... Toowoomba is a good 3 hour drive West though. Saw this advertisement in Dubai (They're pretty rich too Rick!)

Who's that?

Ahh well done!! I hope it's in as good condition as the auction says it is. I don't know how reliable they are usually? I am sure you've done your homework though. When it arrives you'll have to take lots of photos and let us all know your big plans for her

I think the rear rims might be some old ones because he was doing a bit of "testing" eh Prox? Looking good mate. I don't mind about the front bumper personally. Would look uglier with it back on!!!

Yakshimash!!! I Like You!

Good idea Kent. Here's what I have in my car: FRONT King Springs LOW - $155 MONROE Shocks - 25-3938 - $223 REAR King Springs LOW - (compressed 20mm from memory) - $ 205 MONROE Shocks - 15-0063 - $112

Hi Kent - will try to do that. I know everyone says it's easy but I can't help but feel I'm delving in a bit blind... so hopefully some pictures or reassurance or something will help others. Hi Peter - glad to know you and your family are back safely. Welcome back to the HEAT. I haven't done it yet :embarrassed - I have excuses but they're not worth much. I bought a couple of big jacks today though (want as many as possible under that rust heap) so it IS on my mind. THANKYOU for the contact with Mr. Berry. That's the guy I was thinking of. I'll give him a ring tomorrow to see if he can sort me out. Thanks for the offer to help too! I will let you know when I finalise when it'll be.

Hey Kent - looking good! Great to see some more progress on this car. One question - how much was it for all that gear? Ok, two questions. Swaybars keep cars flatter around corners is that correct? I've got some ideas but I'll look less silly if I just ask. How will that affect handling in theory?

Hey Mike, I wonder if you could help me with this. Did you get your extractors sent over by themselves? How much do you reckon shipping of just extractors like that would cost to NZ/Australia?

hahahahahah 10 cars Bruce. 10 cars. You're crazy!

I'm going to be emailing whoever wins - that's for sure! I know mastadd240k (skylines australia) and I had a feeling datoman2005 was on ozdat but I have no idea about samsam11111 or mhmd2006. I think whoever wins will be getting a bargain though... the problem is you have to have enough ROOM for 3 parts cars.

Curiously similar to the Fairlady roadster!

Agreed on both counts! If I had some Corvette or other yank tank I'd probably like it. But otherwise nope. I like whitewalls though on the appropriate car. Give them a bit of their own medicine!! When I saw those pictures I couldn't believe my eyes. Truly awesome! Completely wrong, but totally cool. Maybe now more "rednecks" will be able to see where we're coming from when we cry about putting V8's in Z cars?

Yes, this car is really magnificent. True masterpiece even if it isn't finished yet. It makes me think - in 30 years from now is this what all the "hot rodders" will be doing? Who knows. I can't wait to see this thing when it's done. Crazy...

Can't say I'm a fan of the chrome over the wheel arches. Looks like rubbish (especially with the white writing on the tyres ew!). Love the lower 240Z stripe you were playing with though Gav. That's about the extent I'd ever go.

It reminds me of the 340R, and anything that reminds me of the 340R is AWESOME. Though I don't think Nissan is going to produce anything like this in the near future. Not sensible enough. There was a Nissan concept I saw recently that looked similar to the CSP311 Silvia that I really liked... what was that?

Great topic Tom, I'm interested too. Especially in regards to the Works cars... Watching the thread

Geez talk about nitpicking! The reason I ask is because you've got the Japanese tail lights (that's Japanese market to avoid further confusion). Did you put these on or was it the P.O.? Or an anomoly??

KGC210 - what is that monstrosity on the boot of your car??

Looks like a very nice C210 - is it manual yet? Was it a Japaneese import?
