G'day, As of late I've been having trouble locking the drivers door on my Zed with the key, it locks, but only by pushing down the plungery thing ( you know what I mean :stupid: ) Today I looked at the Zed side on and noticed that the door appears to have 'dropped' a few mm. I was thinking this could cause the problem, as the key turns the barrel inside the door fine ( I've had it all apart to see), but when you turn it the plunger/knob bit doesn't seem to be lowered far enough to lock. The door has a bit of movement in the hinges, so I was thinking this is the problem? If it is, how would I go about 'lifting' the door, or would I need hinges? Any help appreciated.

Thanks for linkage Alfa, should've thought to search galleries! :stupid: From the comments thread of Alfadog's link: Might wanna try them.

Thanks for the info Carl < is intrigued> Next question, any pictures out there of one?

I agree with earlier comments about resoration being personal, hopefully my Zed will end up looking basically stock from the outside but maybe some differences in engine bay and interior. If I ever have the good fortune ( and fat wallet :classic: ) to find a nice 240 I think I'd have to keep it as stock as possible. Oh and *puts noob hat on*, what's a 'spook'? :stupid:

Yeah I did mean 2+2's Mr Camo

*Raises hand* G'day to the ockers! :classic: Just thought I'd drop in an say 'ello. Will put info up on that register, this sjcurtis is another similar thing I take it? [EDIT] Forgot to ask, are 'station wagon' owners allowed? [/EDIT]

Interesting poll and thread. One thing though, don't think I saw it mentioned, you need a option for 'More than I can afford' :stupid:

Hey, can someone post the part number for a thermostat out of a 76 L26 (260Z). Not at home so I don't have my books . Thanks all On another note, yay I'm back. (damn computers)

Hadn't thought of it like that before.... but I agree nonetheless!

Yeah, and apparently it was a brand new merlin that had never been started! Oh, and if the cops see it they've decided to take it off the road. ROFL

Apparently a very high power chevrolet is prowling around my home town, now i know its not a datsun but i thought this would be of interest, especially the engine. Think V12 two stage supercharging roughly 1500hp Now, to give it away: think british its name is rather mystical it can absolutely fly and it positively spits fire Now, in the immortal words of inspector gadget YOWZERS!!! Oh, and vicroads registered it! HA!

ditto z kid

Speaking of publishing on the internet, perhaps Mike would host it for you Alan.

Damn, if only I had $18,000. Doco, from the various 240's in oz that I've seen for sale, 18k is probably about what you'd expect to have to pay. Depends whether you want to pay big $$$ for a classic or big $$$ for something that resembles a 240 from the outside! About the most expensive I've seen was something similar to your posted specs for just under $22k. Sounds like a great car, depends if you care to part with that amount of money for it! Thats my AU $0.02 , or USD $0.00003 x 10^-3 if you will.

Yeah we should have a poll after the price one finishes. Wheres Mike? :rambo: I'm all posted out, i retire to chatroom...

Love that story, thats what getting a good car is all about, its not a purchase, its an ordeal!

Hi, my zed is just going again from a change of carbs and a few other things, and is running a bit smokey. It is running a slightly rich mixture, and its going through a bit of oil (not litres ). I was told that the valves could be a bit tight such that oil is being burned off the inside of the engine (<< i dont understand what that means?? ) Would appreciate a bit of advice. Doug

Yeah extra seats are handy, especially with the ladies. Zed + red paint = win Huzzah for me! oh and the zed of course.

Does anyone know if its possible to get them in stores anywhere?

spooky eh? ** plays britney spears music** ****e, that just spoiled eveything :stupid: anyway, do u ever come down anymore? (if u still have family down here) could go for a cruise sometime in my chick magnet.... errr Zed ohh wait, that's the same thing isn't it? :classic: Disclaimer: I do NOT listen to britney spears and I do not endorse the listening of such music by anyone.

18 here, got my zed about six months ago and have been lovin it ever since, err perhaps that could be misconstrued. :stupid: errrmmm in short: Zeds are cool! Yeah Zeds rock! :tapemouth Oh and I think I did ok for myself gettin a car like a zed for my first car.
