way ahead of ya there! I already saved those images but thanks all the same. And thank you for all the others .

How can you tell? I'm only considering it if the Price is right. I kinda prefer the Australian one anyway after what Kats was saying Mr Matsuo said about the exported grille being the one he originally wanted etc..

Tell you what Rick I know a guy who has some Zed spares I'll ask him for you. However I wouldn't count on it but we will see. What price range are you looking at? They are pretty hard to find to be honest.

Thanks ill watch this however i feel it will pass the $200 mark and that's over my budget.

Oh and use non Synthetic oil as I'll bet that was what was being used in the car last time it ran. A friend and I had recently tried to get a Z running that hadn't run in years. The motor had actually siezed up.

I'll see what i can do. I do get spam from time to time but the filter is pretty good.

you could smuggle a person in there if you needed too . This thing is gonna be like a gokart i think. Promise you'll post videos when it's finished.

That would be great but forgive my ignorance what's an SASE? my email address is gavindoolan@optusnet.com.au i don't mind posting it here.

yeah that exhaust system looks very nice indeed. Your car should sound insane it probably does already though

Yeah the LC is stated as making 125kw. Probably where i got the mix up.

Looks good Jim at viczcar we are trying to put together another video of a run we had earlier in the year. IN the video you can hear all the Z's but you can tell my Z has a distinctively different note .

Haha now Mickie don't be too harsh. Australians have made some very good cars, however I've always felt the Japanese cars have been technologicially more advanced. For instance the Red Motor found in the old VB VC commodores and the early Torana's was a 3.3ltr motor pushrod . in XU1 GTR form with the 3 strombergs it made 160HP. Now compare that to the 2.4ltr 240z with twin Su's and 150HP. Hmmmm 1 extra carb and 3.3ltr vs 2.4 and only 10HP? Yes i think the Japanese had the L motor sorted . For it's day the Z was unreal and far ahead of most Australian cars. These days though you gotta hand it to FORD and HOLDEN they have produced some very exceptional cars here. Take the Monaro which has been exported for the US market that's quite an achievement if you ask me.

Thanks you've been very helpfull in some of my recent posts . I think i'll be able to find that font without paying for it.

You got the Aussie version of rice correct.

Rick not sure if you know about ozdat.com? You could try placing a wanted ad there for the air cleaner.

Thanks mate hopefully i'll get started on it soon. Keep you guys posted on what it looks like etc.
