Try the site in engrish, courtesy of babelfish. http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/urltrurl?lp=ja_en&url=http%3A%2F%2Fs-garage.hp.infoseek.co.jp%2Findex.html and check out the "SECT. Part sale handling list SECT." especially the "Wrapping type part" Lots of cool carbon fiber parts there. They even sell acrylic windows, for lighter cars "The car to be light, corner ring speed and start dash fast. From the glass window you exchange to the acrylic. This is the most effective last expedient with light weight conversion. Door R5mm"

Howdy. How about a little more information, like what colour it was. What sort of rego plates did it have ( standard, custom, old, etc). You live in South perth? You should check out the cars at WA Z register meetings some time. We wont hassle you to much for owning a ZX.:classic: At least you get to drive your car. Mines been in peices for a year, and is still nowhere near finished.

Hey Runlittlerabbit di thay have a website? They sound like the shop i was trying to find. Thought I saw their website once, but could never find it again. (Note: people dont like it when you type in ALL CAPITALS, its harder to read and is considered as shouting in the written form)

I asked this exact same question. even took photos of the little bugger, no one answered. My 260 doesnt have EFI, so it must be for something else, unless the wires go to the plug box, and nowhere from there. I did a speedo swap with a 240z to a 260z speedo so i could have KMH instead of MPH, and was wondering what the box was for. The wire goes into the speedo and connects to the bit that goes round and round, so i guess its some sort of pulse type revolution counter that counts how fast the speedo cable drive is rotating. I left it tucked away in the 240z casing, as i didnt have a use for it. I guess it could be intergrated in a cruise control system.

The front guards already have some support brackets on the chassis. They have foam rubber stuff that by now would have perished away to nothing, leaving a gap that allows the top to flex. You can replace it with some clossed cell foam i believe. I thonk coeased cell foam doenst retain moisture, so it wont make the guards rust. The guards arent really designed for leaning on anyway.

Unless the donor car is a RHD car, in which case the battery isn't located on that side, and wouldn't have dripped acid and stripped the paint, causing the rust.

Definately a change in voltage causing the problem. Dont waste your time and money, take it straight to a auto electric place, they can test the battery, VR, and ALT and determine whch one is causing the problem. Or you could take the DIY approach, and buy a new VR, then if the problem still occurs, buy a new ALT, then if the problem still occurs, buy a new battery. Actually Hayden, I think the VR is a mecanical device that can be adjusted. Search for posts about it. I remember having a problem with my VR on my 1st 240. I replaced it with a modern transitorised one, and never had a problem again. My Honda has a similar voltage drop at idle (the headlights dim), but i expect thats pretty normal. As soon as you rev the engine the headlights are back to full power.

THe front spoiler is widely available in Australia, but I think it was originally a spoiler from the "California Z" body kit. So you should be able to find one since you are already there. But then i've never seen them on a US car so i think i might be wrong. -
Hi Gav. We have a similar thing going on at www.wazregister.com for all us West Aussies. (Join up if you are in the West) Edit: Had a problem with our domain name so for the moment it's www.wazregister.com

I'm sure you could get $2000 for it from the right buyer. THe right buyer would have to appriciate old datsuns, or be someone looking to build a gtr replica.

Welcome C110GTR! I love 1200 coupes. I also like the r30 and r31 skyline coupes. My parents almost bought one back in the 80's when mum was looking for a new car. I was in high school at the time and went car shopping with her. I tried to convince her to get the R30, but it was a manual, she wanted an auto, so she bought the toyota corona coupe because its an auto (might sitll be a pic of it in my gallery). She still owns it, but drives an 92 MX6 now. My brother drives the corona now. Pity really, as i would have loved to "Inherit" a R30 skyline coupe. A friend of mine had a 81 2000GT coupe back in the 90's, with the L20ET. Ugly looking car, but fun to drive. Had power windows and a digital dashboard.

In answer to your question. Yes they are. How much you paying for it? What happened to the L24? Check it very carefully for rust. Bring a camera and take photos of anything you think might be a problem, and put them up here and people will be glad to give you their advice. Hey sjcurtis, What's a RS30? One of our members at wazcars.com has one. It's a 260z. Whats the R for . All 260z ive seen are GRS30's

Nothing wrong with bidding against anyone else whether they are from here or not.

OK Heres a 1+1 for you then: http://www.trademe.co.nz/structure/listings/0001-0268-1705-/auction-9830172.htm Looks untidy, but might not be as bad as it looks.

A 240Z Battery Operated Japanese Policecar Toy
Mr Camouflage replied to kyteler's topic in Open Chit Chat
Looked at that, then did a search for Datsun and found this for you NZ guys: http://www.trademe.co.nz/structure/listings/0001-0268-1705-/auction-9830172.htm Looks untidy, but might not be as bad as it looks. -
Yeah I though it was very steep. Hey Heres an idea. No one buy it, then the guy will re list it cheaper, or you can offer to buy it after the auction for $30 or so.

Glad you like it Craig. I have another 3 books coming from the USA from Ebay. One of them is the book nissan put out to introduce the 280zx. I hear its pretty rare, but they seem to pop up on ebay fairly often.
-
Cuong's looking for another 240z if anyone has one. How much you shell out for it Drunkenmaster? Just curious.

Who wants it bad enough?? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3182798863&category=1190

I dont have insurance. I drive very carefully! But then i'm not driving the z because its still being restored. Will get insurance when i do start driving it (i hope - I have a few blemishes on my driving record).

It's very hot any sunny down here, so some people cut a hole in the roof and fit a glass panel to let more of the heat and sun in! :stupid:

Speaking of roofs. I bought a 240z roof (its in my gallery). My car has a sunroof and it wanted it gone, so i bought the roof. I'm after some advice as to how to remove the old roof and weld the new one on. I spoke to a panel shop and thay want to cut my car into bits and splice on the would turret. Which i think is a stupid way to do it, as there are up to 3 layers of metal in the roof, and ther is no way of welding all three layers. And there is nothing wrong ith the turret structure. Seems like this would weaken the chassis. I want to drill the spot welds, pop off the roof panel and drop the new one on and mig stitch weld, or spot weld it back on. Any thoughts? How did you do your roof Marc? Maybe it might be easier to get a modern electic sunroof put in, in which case i'd sell the 240 roof.

Yes it will fit. All the front panels on the S30 (2 seater and 2+2) are swapable between the different models (240/260/280). Just dont try putting ZX pannels on a Z because it wont work.
