Damn. We dont get history channel any more. Changed plans to get movies. :mad:

I paid $4200 for mine. You can have a look at the photos of it in my gallery. To give you an idea of price/condition. Needs rings, so I'm gonna rebuild the engine, and strip and repaint the car. No much rust. What rust it had has been cut and welded.

You can get plastic chrome edgeing that pushes on the edge of the door. It may bend enough for you to be able to use it on the headlight covers. Just a thought.

You make these yourself from a R32 items? -
Hi Gaz. How much clearance hve you got between the sump and the cross member? will you have to modified the sump to get the engine any lower. Sounds like you'll have to modify your engine mounts. Another (more expensive) way to get extra clearance at the top of the engine is to go for an after market intake manifold that points forward, instead of crossing over the top of the engine, though i dont know if/how available they are for the RB30. Try doing a search of the forums by clicking the search link near the top of the page. check out www.hybridz.org

Would have been written off by the insurance company and on-sold to the auction company that is now trying to sell it, or they are acting on behalf of the insurance company. Still has Beaverton Nissan advertisement plates. Maybe it was a demo model that got wrecked by a salesman or test driver. The back end hit something pretty hard to bend the alignment of the wheel like that. Funny that the airbags never went off though. Or do you guys in the US have a model without air bags? You get 5 different models dont you? We only get the Touring and Track models in Aus.

I think all the 2+2 models are ugly, especially the 280zx. Now if you could get your hands on a 2 seater 280zx. they aren't too bad looking, But were never sold in Australia, neither was the 300ZX 2 seater. I dont mind the look of the Z31. The later revision with the smoother wheel arches. But try and get a 240Z. Seen the new nissan Ad with the sliver 280zx 2 seater doing donuts in a field or carpark? Funny, since they were never sold in australia. Expect the ad to be replaced with one that has a blue Z32 doing donuts in a carpark. I saw it at the launch of the 350Z. There is aslo another 350Z ad in which the 240Z features more prominatly that the other 350Z ad. Alfa, what company you insured with? I might have to give them a call.
-
Yeah I think that was "SPEED" magazine, maybe the Febuary, or January Issue. They has a story about the 350Z and a side story about the 240Z. The one they had pictures of was a silver one, that had been exported (Returned?) back to japan I believe. With the Law in Japan as they were/are, alot of old cars are sent to the wreckers as scrap, and they just buy another new car. Thats why we get alot of second hand imports here in Oz.

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=touche "Used to acknowledge a hit in fencing or a successful criticism or an effective point in argument" I used it in the context of the 2nd and 3rd meaning in response to Bambikillers remark "Your car doesn't have a head either, but it does have headlights, I'll bet! "

Or you could put a different cam in, and get a bit more power. The holley should be up to it. driveability may suffer. What happend to your twin hitachi's?

Are these the part numbers for wheel bearings for a 240z? 43210-E4100 43215-E4100

My car doesn't have a Tail. Should it have a tail? Did the last owner remove it? Should I order a replacement Tail from nissan? Whats the nissan part number for this missing Tail. My car has a front and a back, but no tail. Does it drag along the ground like a mouse tail, or stick straight up in the air like a cat tail? What would happen if a car was too close behind me and ran over the tail?
-
Yeah, Thats the old skyline the R34 thats has the RB engine.
-
Either there is no engine in that car, or you plan on doing some serious off road driving. -
Yes all factory wheels were steel with hubcaps. All Mags were dealer options. The 260z was the first Z to get factory alloys I think. You know the ones. I see them on every 260z 2+2 on the road.

I'd rather one that tilts up, then slides back like a Supra, RX7 or MX6 style. You need a lot of roof to have a sunroof that slides between the roof and the headlining, or you're not going to have a very big sunroof. Remember there's a big roll bar type frame where the dome light is. And it eats into the headroom, as the headlining has to be thicker to hide the sunroof and mechanincs. I have one of those glass tilt up sunroofs :sick: (I didn't do it). I'm considering a metal lift and slide type replacement, or welding up the hole.

I'm surprised the windscreen wipers aren't painted red also.

Like this? These are my mags. Dont know the brand. Possibly "Globe". 14" diameter. Slightly Different. More angular slot than curved. I've seen a set like these for sale. in Perth WA. Not sure of the PCD and the offset though. check out this thread: http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5813 and this one http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5742 http://www.zparts.com/ads/wheels/pages/wfs-29.html

My guess is it doesn't work.

Groupie work huh? :sick: Yes they are From NZ. Yes the a Lo-Fi rock/punk thing is popular at the moment. (some of it is just sh*t though).

Changing the Air filter would make that much HP differance. Or just fudge the rounding when converting from Kilowatts. I believe the maximum allowable power rating in Japan for factory produced road registered cars is 206KW. Which equals about 280HP. They could easily (dont read cheeply) be tweeked to make more power. Which is why a 91TT supra has the same HP rating as the 97TT supra, which has half a litre more capacity in the engine. BambiKiller. Have you seen the old animated cartoon (in B&W) called Bambi meets Godzilla?

Ah now its all starting to make sence. The new z wasn't designed to be a 2 seat sports car, it was designed to be base model that could be a 2 seater (the 350z), or a whack on a few different pannels and a back seat to get 4 seater (G35). Cars designed by nissan bean counters.
