, they are factory Nissan mags.

Yeah I saw a complete LD28 on trade me for $150 when I was looking. Just keep checking every week, unless you know someone over there who can go to a wrecker and find one (maybe you could find a wrecker that has an email). Heaps of LD28's over there, They put them in all sorts of stuff, a search of trademe will find boats, camper vans, fords, all with LD29 conversions. I decided to get a bunch of L turbo parts instead.

OEM headlight covers?
-
You can find them in NZ for around $150, well at least you could about 4 years ago when I was looking. Decided it wasn't worth the effort to build an L30/31
-
Sounds like a bargain for one is such good original condition.

Its an S130, there's no question about that, though not a 280ZX. There was no 1979 S30.
-
If it's a RHD 280ZX then it's not from the JDM, otherwise it would be a Fairlady 280Z.

One and only - 1974 Datsun 260 ZX, factory V-8 and original!
Mr Camouflage replied to sblake01's topic in Internet Finds
A guy in West Aus has put the same engine in his 260Z 2+2, so that guy cant claim it's the only one in the world. -
So to clear it up a bit: 240C (230) 1971 to 1973 260C (230) 1973 to 1975 260C (330) 1975 to 1977 Note: the 330 was also sold as the 280C with an L28 up to 1979.

Nope not alot of them around, especially in coupe form. Though rare, they aren't particularly valuable. Nissan had to bribe some Datsun dealers to sell them, by saying they would only send them a couple of 240Z's if they took a 240C as well. The 240C (230) was the replacement for the 130 model Cedric (Datsun Super Six/Personal Six/Deluxe Six in Australia), released in 1971. They had the L24, but later ones had the L26, and were badged as 260C. Not to be confused with the 330 series 260C which replaced the 230 in 1975. Nice looking cars, the 230. http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=datsun+240c&w=all&s=int&referer_searched=1

Yep Steve, the rear finisher panels are different, though the tail lights are exactly the same. The back of the 2+2 is wider, hence the different finisher panels. Also the rear bumper is wider than the 2 seater.

That's the guy that had the 240 or 260 for sale for around the same price right? I cant remember his name.

The Aussie spec R31 Skylines were made here in Australia, not imported. Not all Japanese cars come from Japan Nissan have had a manufacturing/assembly plant here since the late 60's. The first "Aussie Nissan" was the Datsun 1600 (P510), which was assembled in the same factory that assembled VW Beetles. History lesson over. This is what's in my garage at the moment. 1969 Datsun Super Six. These were imported. It was given to me free, along with a parts car that you can just see behind the red one.

I clipped my finger with the hammer while trying it, and after much pain and cursing I bought a tie rod separator. The type that you squeeze into the joint, then crank on the bolt to leaver them apart. Much less painfull.
-
The hammer method involves hitting the steering arm, not the tie rod. The tie rod spindle is in a tapered hole. The idea is that whacking the steering arm pops the tie rod out. I've been told to have a drift (another hammer will do) on the opposite side (to absorb the impact) Here's some ascii art to try and illustrate the method [hammer] whack ->(o)[drift] where (o) is the steering arm, looking straight down ontop of it. Didn't work for me so I bought a tie rod separator. They aren't too expensive.

Western Australia not Washington.

Found this pic on ozdat.com. Not a 240Z, but a 240K. Car is abandoned at a dumping spot up in some sand dunes somewhere in WA.
-
Wont find any Left hand drive cars here. You'll have to find a Euro Datsun website. How much are 240K's selling for over in Kuwait now?
