Mr Camouflage

Yep thats what happens when you mix oil and water

I ask because my 260z i just bought is still at the po's house, so i cant go and read the casting number. I think it has headers that i'd like to put on my L24 which wont be a problem if they both have the same head.

Anybody know what head the aussie 260z (L26) have? 1975 model. (it has roundtop carbies as standard).

THe zed was gone this morning. Hopefully the owner came back for it.

By the way, anybody going to crash the wa z car club meeting on Sunday July 27, 2003 at Rosie O'Gradys Pub in South Perth, 3:30 pm?

I saw it was still there on the way home from work at 6pm.

I was going to hang on to my spares incase the unthinkable happens. Maybe even build up the 260z after i've finished the 240.

I'd heard that the plastic headlight scoops were used on the earliest 240z only because the factory were having trouble making the metal ones. Once they shored out the tooling they made metal ones. I have a 260z cone on the left side, and a plastic one on the right. both soon to be replaced with metal ones off my 260z parts car.

I'm thinking of getting licence plates that read "not4sale" so i dont come back to my car and find notes left all over it.

Only noticed it this morning. will look again on the way home.

Nope it's metallic blue, with a bonnet thats covered in yellow spray putty. On the "heading south" side of the freeway just north of the karrinyup exit. Its on the north beach road entry.

Anyone know who owns the 240/260(2 seater) thats been left on the side of the freeway. I saw it from the train today on the way in to work. If you dont want it anymore I'll have it:classic:

Was advertised in the quokka (not online).

Howdy People. Bought another z on the weekend. A 260z 2+2 for parts. It has better fenders than my 240z. So now I have a spare set of mags, spare engine, spare diff, etc etc... The gearbox will go in my 240 to replace the 240K box. A speedo in Kph. Will post a few pictures when I get the car back to my place next weekend.

I had a similar idea but have been too busy to progress any futher than this: http://www.z-specs.s5.com/

try that: www.wazcars.com Nothing to see there though. Judging by the speed the site takes to do anything i'd say its running off somebodys home pc via a dsl connection. very unprofessional. also its an asp site.

The image he posted was: right click on broken link > properties> look at the url and take out the extra http:// cant really see much in the photo though this is a better pic doesnt look dangerous at all. other pics of the car are at http://www.originalautobuyers.com/361/<01 to 20>.jpg ie 01.jpg to 20.jpg.

Dont have a choke level handle (72 240z) you wanna post to australia do ya auxillary? I love your car. I'm going to paint mine black as well.

You can get any part for a z on ebay if you wait long enough and check often enough. You could build a z from the ground up piece by piece.

No Your rings sound fine. Smoking on deceletation is a sign of worn out valve stem seals. You are sucking oil alright, but down the valve stems into the combustion chamber. I wouldnt worry too much about it, unless it a problem for the authorities in your area. You'd have to take the head off to put new seals on the stems i believe, so if you do that, make sure you reseat the valves with some vavle grinding paste, and one of those valve lapping tools that looks like a mini plunger. Valve stem seals have nothing to do with compression, they just stop oil from being sucked down the valve stems, the same way the rear main crank seal stops oil dripping out the back of your engine. Maybe it was smoking a bit before and you didnt notice it. I've heard that most cars will smoke a bit if they've been driven like your grandma would drive it for years, they you hop in and give it a bit, even newer cars. But thats only what i've heard. I have no idea what a bleed down test with compressed air is. Also over rich mixture may cause engine smoking. I should compression test my engine.

If you are worried about breaking your spare windshield, Take a sharp knife (be carefull) and cut the seal out around the window. The rubber seals harden over time, making it more difficult to get the window out. Buy a new seal for the car you are putting it in. and there is a trick with string involved in fitting it back into the car.

Aussie pesos i think the yanks call them.

BBALLS Got any pictures of the stuff you make? and prices. PM or email. I saw the photo of the lower front air damn form the other post. I have rust in my lower guards that has been repaired by the PO, but not very well on the drivers side (see photo). I'm still stripping mine back to bare metal, so no doubt i'll be uncovering some more not so great repairs. The rear right quater tooks to have been replaced, and the area around the tail light is a bit banged up. Also I have a very ugly sunroof that i want to get rid of.

Differances In a nutshell: Early Zeds 1970 to 1971?: generally reffered to as series 1 People say they are Lighter beacuse they were made from thinner metal I believe, or no rust proofing/underbody goo. No metal storage bins behind the seats, they were plastic things (i've never seen the them so someone else can describe them). cosmetically different badges on the rear quarter panne (240Z badge)l, vents in the hatch. different steering wheel (no holes) and center console. Non reclining seats. Later Zeds 72 to 73 center console with ashtray rear of the gear stick, Round quarter pannel badges that read Z. No vents in hatch, vents covered by the Z badge. Reclining seats, holes in the steering wheel. 73's had illuminated ventilation controlls. All parts are interchangeable for 240z models i believe.

You cant do a compression test by cranking the engine over by hand if you expect to get any meaningfull readings, unless you are superman and can crank the engine over at 500rpm.
