Now if you could learn to use your scanner properly.......

Friend of mine got a car freighted from adelaide to perth. cost $750. This guy with all the parts wouldn't happen to live in canning vale would he.

Did you have an alarm system?

They are both coupes. and i dont know, but probably not.

Used to be mostly at home at night untill the wee hours of the morning. But now I'm a Web programmer doing php-mysql database stuff and asp, so i'm on here at work while i'm supposed to be working and almost never at home. When i get home from work i go out into the garage and work on my Z.

No they wont because they are like the ugly sister of a 240Z. And the volvo coupe is a lot better looking than the wagon and is also worth more. Just because a car is rare doesn't always have to make it expensive. It's still has to be wanted by someone.

I wouldnt use stain on it. I used a Satin clear coat for wood. Gives a satin finish. Might use a high gloss if i had to do it again Have a read of this thread. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5489

The steering wheels are Plastic with a fake wood grain finish on them. I should Know I've stripped and refinished mine. I wrote a post about it before, so have a search of the forums for steering wheels, faux wood and any other search term that comes to mind. I used paint stripper, it doesnt damage the plastic. What ever you do dont sand it with abrasive paper to remove the Lacquer, because if you sand too much you'll remover the wood grain finish as well, and end up with a plain brown plastic looking wheel (like the type that toyota celica's had of the same era). And if you want proof, look at the back ot the wheel on the knobby grip bits and you'll see where years of driving has started to wear the wood finish away. Edit: Does look like wood in the photos though. But I still believe they are plastic.

Where did you get a nissan V8? I didnt think they made them, except in the 60's for the prince line of cars or something.

Theres one in the Movie Pizza. 280ZX 2 Seater.

Lightwave. It's like 3D studiomax, but used for Movies and TV stuff, as well as advertising.

I've been working on a 3D 240z. It's what I created the anamated gif with, that is my avatar.
-
Ferarri kit! Bullsh1t! Thats a gnose with holes cut in it. everything else is standard 240z with holes cut in it. excepth the tail lights. Cheapskates. If you are going to do the ferrari 250GTO thing get a Vello Rossa bodykit or similar, like the one thats in beginning of the movie Vanilla Sky. Must be one hell of a blind spot out the passenger side where the window used to be.

Yep webbots scan the internet for email addresses and add them to spam lists. a way to get around it is not using @ symbols and ., but more sophisticated bots could scan for at and dot as well. eg email@whereever.com will get spammed email at whereever dot com might get spammed

:stupid: I was thinking 180B circa 1975 for some reason, not the new one.:stupid: I've seen the photos of nixcars with the silva dash. Looks nice and modern. But i still like the 240z dash, which is why i wasn't looking for a 260z 2 seater when I was after a Z.
-
I like 240z dashboards. why put a 180sx dash in?
-
and I thought Z's looked bad like this

Looks like something the wiggles would drive. -
Ah so you can tell me if the {EDIT _______ EDIT} really has "we use spartan air" written on the stock mag wheels. What colour is it? A silver {EDIT} used to live around the corner from a friend of mine in woodlands.

I saw the red on on sports tonight (channel 10 after the late new with sandra sully (mmmmmmm) anyway). Yeah the red one was off the side of the road in a ditch amongst trees. I hope it wasnt too damaged. it didnt look too bad.
-
Yep there were 2 imperial standards. SAE and Whitworth. My dad's and ex mechanic from england, so i have access to all sorts sockets and spanners. I think some imperial bolts were used on zeds on componants that were licenced copies of other designs. I dont remember what exactly, maybe brake calipers or carbies. I think I read it in an Alan post so it must be true.
-
Yeah i've seen darius's 240z in the videos that are on the net. I think chrome would look better that silver paint.

I thing it's the dumbest thing i've ever seen on any website anywhere. It pops up an explorer window that switches to full screen mode (press F11 to make it go back into a window).The window can only be killed with task manager. Try explaining to your boss why some blank spreadsheet wont go away. He just gonna take one look at an empty spreadsheet and say "Hmm haven't done much work today have we" I remember Old games uses to have boss keys (alt which paused the game and displyed some business type speradsheet, but at least they worked and went away when you wanted them to.

looks like a cobra with a mg grill. So was this supposed to be an MGA ? -
Another obnoxious person messing with a Z

You can make a nice Z drag car without making it that ugly
