Yeah VK belina all VL commodores (maybe not the base model). Just pop down to your local wrecker and pick one up. Should be dirt cheap, if not go somewhere else. Then you just have to modify it to work the 260z latch mechanism. Or custom make a latch so that its in the boot, not the hatch.

I think the simplest air cond system would consist of a switch to turn the compressor on or off. Of course the extra load on the engine at idle means you have to increase the idle speed, which is part of the electronics that you are probably missing. but you could just set your ilde with the air cond on and put up with the faster idle when its turned off.

Z Kid Has sold his set. And mine are as good as sold. Just finalizing details with the buyer.

Richo, what sort of donk you got in the z? Put some pictures up in your gallery.

I saw a pic of the new mustang today dont know if its a production or a concept, but it looked very retro.

So when you press the brake only the top light lights up?

The problem with the front of the S30 is that you have all this air coming under the front of the car, and once the air that comes in through the radiator it has no where to go except out under the car. A lower spoiler/air dam will stop airflow under the car preventing the lift. Bonnet vents will to, some extent, give the air somewhere to exit to, out over the top of the car, which is better aerodynamics than having it exit under the car. All cars will have a low pressure zone at the back of the car (unless you drive a big tear drop shaped car). Even F1 racing cars. Nissan were silly to put air vents on the back of the car. Also the cabin of the S30 is closer to the rear of the car than most other cars. And with 30 year old cars, seals perish or compress over time. If tyou cars ever been in a accident, iven a midle rear ender, then chances are the seams have opend a little. English 240z had a front spoiler, but probably just a styling exercise rather than a handling fix, otherwise all markets would have recieved them, right? With Later S30's , I believe the spoiler was added to hide the lowerd crossmember, because the 260z and 280z had a bigger (taller) radiators (presumably because of cooling problems), the front cross member was also lowerd to accomodate. As for weight, Have you seen the size of a 1970's Air cond Compressor!?

How do the US lights work exactly? Is the bottom light on when you have the lights on? or does it come on when you hit the brakes? Which lights flash when you are indicating? Top or bottom or both? If you change the lense only it probabaly wouldn't work the same way that the Non USA cars do. They have the top light for lights and break, the bottom light is only on when indicating.

You could take your old set to a motor trimmer and have them make up some new ones in new carpet. They could use the old ones as a template for the new ones.

Pictures are up.

Marlows (now Super Crap errrmm, Cheap Auto) sell, used to sell steel reinforced putty. Cant remember the name of it. Hang on i'll go in the garage and see what its called.............. ...............called Quick Steel. Its a grey putty that you kneed together, then is sets hard as steal. then you can file it or whatever.

Sales Calls? What, people arenet impressed buy a 240z? As for deleveries, Get a Datsun 1200 ute, or even a Datsun 1600 wagon.

The backs. The black stuff is paint from someone painting the interior trim panel. Comes with wiring and globes.

Can you re tap the hole and use a larger screw?

I expect there is not much difference between the 260z and the 280z apart from the engine. The 280z is a 260z with an L28. Australia (and the rest of the world?) received the 260z untill 1977. Nissan wouldnt make different body parts and interior trim for the 77 260z and the 77 280z unless they are specificaly required because of the engine. Its doesnt make economic sence.

Thats the current trend in vechicle design. 5-10 years ago you couldn't find a sharp line on a car. It was all curves. Now its curves with sharp edges thrown in. for example look at the BMW Z3 compared with the Z4. or even the 300zx and the 350z Going back even further to the 80's it was sharp lines everywhere and hardly any curves. (anyone remember the subaru vortex. not a curve to be seen anywhere. Nissan exa also) Generally speaking of course.

Its just you. well the line above the u is playing optical illusions with your eyes.

I have a thing for yellow cars.

Maybe it's because you are so far away from the front of the car and the road.

If the K clock is anyting like the Z clock, just open it up and lucricate the moving parts with sewing machine oil. I removed the motor from the assembly and attached the battery to the cables to test it and it worked. re assembled it and it works fine.

I have a pair of Euro (Amber and Red) tail lights for a 260z or 280z for sale. They are used, so i dont want new prices for them. Too Intense Restoration sell new ones for $465.95 per pair! Extortion (but that's because nissan want so much for them in the first place). Need to sell them so I can keep buying bits for my 240z. They come with the wiring harness too. Will post pics of them soon. Send me a PM if you are interested.
