  1. Exactly. I'm not telling all you skyline owners to wizz off somewhere else, quite the opposite it would give you a place to post. I like reading about other datsuns, and having a separate forum on this website would allow me to easily find threads about 240K's, 1200 coupes, and 1600's instead of them getting lost in the thousands of posts about Z cars. So as well as having Z discussions, Regional Forums, etc, you would also have Other Datun Discussions for non Z related chit chat. This was inspired by a 240K owner asking where they could get chrome moulding for thier car, without stating they owned a 240K, and people had started responding assuming they had an S30. I looked in their gallery and saw they had a 240K.
  2. Exterior Door handles are the same as a 120Y. Maybe the window winder handles are too. Whats wrong with the old ones? I have a some 260z 2+2 parts from a parts car. I might sell the handles. PM me.
  3. Do you think we need a separate section for people to discuss other Datsun Car like the 240K(Skyline).
  4. You say the stock 240z tach works. What do you mean "in my case the stock one didnt work"? I'd use the 240z tach if it works.
  5. How about fitting the internals of a combination lock into the standard clock and you have to dial the right combination to deactivate the poison arse needle. Yeah its late and i'm really tired. I Did see (on a TV show) an alarm system that gave the driver a massive electric shock, that temporarily paralises the theif, but doesnt kill them (unless they have a pacemaker i guess)
  6. WHY ISNT THERE A LINK ON THE EBAY SITE TO REPORT PEOPLE MIS-DESCRIBING THIER $^!#. Sorry Caps unintentional, but echos my sentiments on the subject. Like that was ever on a datsun z car.:stupid: Also there was a guy selling a toy 240z police car- that was a ferrari 250GTO police car.:stupid:
  7. If you had a 3.54 ratio and swapped it with a 3.7 ratio diff it would mean that the accelaration would be better. The engine would have to rev more though to achieve the same speed as the .54 ratio, which means worse fuel economy. Hypothetically For example to do 100mph with a 3.54 in top gaer the engine would have to be turning over at 3592 rpm to do 100 with the 3.9 you'd have to rev the engine to 3754 rpm. check out this link http://www.geocities.com/z_design_studio/
  8. Its easy enough to change the springs yourself, all you need is a set of spring compressors, a jack, and a socket set to wind up the compressors and to undo the top nut.
  9. The South Africans seemed to have a habit of bringing out Africam market variants. Such as the Ford Piranha.
  10. I wonder what the centers would look like painted the same colour as the car? Probaby not good. Hmmm just a thought
  11. Dont they have Guards in banks? Why didn't they detain him untill the police arrived?
  12. Yeah great for burning 4 round circles into your back on those hot Perth summers.
  13. Z, ZX, K (skyline). Who cares as long as it's a Nissan-Datsun sports car.
  14. The immpbiliser shown can be used to break any electical circuit, so you could use it to break the power to the coil, which would work on a carburated engine. You could also break the power to the electric fuel pump (if you dont have a mechanical one). Could also break the power to the ingition switch. Could build a secondary circuit so that if they did get away with the car, every time they pressed the stop pedal, or used the indicators, it would arm and cut the engine again! They might just think that the car is a POS and not bother with it ifit keeps stalling.
  15. Na an Air conditioner would be usefull though.
  16. Do how do you get more power from the L24? Different cam? EFI? Bore and stroke to L28 specs? Turbo? All of the above?:classic:
  17. When I have a spare $3500AUD burning a hole in my pocket, I'll buy another 240z. Speaking of wide rims on Datsuns. Does anyone (Alan) know what the widest rim that was factory fitted to a S30, be it 240 or 432 with flares? WA law states that you can only go 1 inch wider that factory fitted, up to 8 inches. Or if it was fitted with 8 inch or wider you cant go any wider than that. So for example, if the ZG432R was available with 9 inch rims as a factory option, theoretically I should be allowed cut out my guards, fit flares, and put 9 inch rims on my car. So how wide did Nissan go?
  18. Yeah I plan to put air cond in my 240 with bits from my 260. Probably going to make some sort of hybrid unit to fit under the 240z dash and keep the 240z heater controlls.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. Z Kid Has sold his set. And mine are as good as sold. Just finalizing details with the buyer.
