That happens in Perth too.

Ah, its so hard to pick up sarcasm in written text. Anyone want to bet that Boyd's team have been working overtime to rebuild the engine, fix the rust and retrim the interior for fridays unveiling?

Brand New? after sitting in a concrete crypt filled with water that seeped into it, it don't think its going to be in brand new condition.

The OS Giken head are unobtainable.

At least you didn't buy a 280ZX Also they changed the way they measured HP between the 240 and 280, so comparing the numbers directly doesn't mean anything.

I almost got myself A Nikon D70 at an auction yesterday, but the price went too high. Great cameras.

Duncan Datsun in Perth (Melville i think) were operating in the 60's, and sold a number of Nissan Silvias, well one at least.

Funny he should say that. Renault (a French company) own the controlling interest in Nissan, which is why the former vice president of Renault is now in charge of Nissan. If Renault didn't bail out Nissan, the there might never have been a 350Z. I saw the old Top gear review again recently in which Jeremy Clarkson describes the 350Z like this: (The same engine is used in the Renault Vel Satis). Yep Time for a redesign.

There would probably be some c10/c110 forums in Japanese,and maybe some in Arabic but this is the only English language one that I'm aware of that has a section specifically for the C110. I dont think they sold in very large numbers outside of Japan, apart from maybe the middle east. They seem to be very popular over there.

Now that looks better. Theres something about the nose of the other one that doesn't look right. But thats just my opinion, don't get offended by it , If you like it good for you. Everyone has different tastes. Its like Red_dog says, you want to like it, but it just looks a bit strange. Same with the new Nissan GTR. Awesome car on specs, just a little strange looking.

The SS's are sought after, so i'm not surprised. They're fairly rare aren't they?

??????? they made it even uglier??????????:stupid:

Hey Curtis, PM me your email address and I'll pass it on to him. or you could try sending him a PM as he's a member here too. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/z/profile.php?z-profile=Gav240z some inspiration:

In "other" countries when you think about the racing history of the S30, its racing pedigree in the US doesn't really come to mind. I guess you have to be American to have that point of view.

What about the VG30ET from the 300zx Z31. They are lighter than the L28ET and easy to find in the US and can be pushed to 400hp on stock internals.

And the 2+2 referrers to the seating capacity 2 in the front and 2 in the back.

Theres a large version of that here: http://www.classiczcars.com/images/wallpaper/Orange_Z_1280x1024.jpg

What did you set the timing to? How many degrees

They're the ZG Flares that Gavin from viczcar.com has for sale. He wants $200 plus shipping. He's in Victoria, and he still has them for sale.

Yeah I think that one was on last week with no photos, so it didn't sell. Ad sounds the same. What a difference photos make, even blurry ones.

These aren't proper enough? <img src="http://www.viczcar.com/forums/files/100_1451_738.jpg"/>

Worst case scenario: you've dropped a tooth off the pinion or crown wheel. Happened to me in a Mazda 323 4WD turbo. There was a clicking sound that was Dependant on car speed, not engine rpm, so definately drive line related. Thought it was a CV joint. Replaced a drive shaft - noise still there. Was reasonably annoyed (to put it mildly) so dumped the clutch and ...... crunch, crunch, crunch..... stripped more teeth of both the crown (groups of teeth in about 4 places) and pinion (only had half the teeth left). Do what Beandip says. Also turn the car off, stick a brick under one wheel to stop it from turning, and get someone to put a bit of resistance on the other wheel or put the e brake on slightly (not too much, you still want it to turn), and (with car out of gear) turn the drive shaft , to rotate the wheel, and feel / listen if the shaft or wheel appear to skip. It's might not be that serious, but if you have the back end up, may as well check for it. Another car I had was making all sorts of weird noise from a worn out uni joint in the drive shaft. Hope its not as serious as a broken diff.

buy more datsuns

I wonder what the "VELISIDE REAR WING AND OTHER BODY KIT" looks like. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300115286539 He's dropped the starting price from $6990 to $5999 (which is still 2990 more than he paid for the car). And the Buy It Now price: has gone from $10,000 to $7,999.

Should have kept driving it until it wouldn't go anymore, then called a honda wrecker to come and get it and pay you for it. (after removing any useful parts, like electric fuel pumps, wiper motors). Thats what I did with my honda when it finally died.
