$10.000 is not enough
Humpf! I would regard the '73 as the most highly developed of the 240z series...

tan interior pics?
Very nice! I might wait for the $AU to get over 80 US cents first. Looks like there is a lot of replacement parts available from that supplier.

tan interior pics?
Thanks Gareth, thats a good tip. My Vinyl has no tears but is discoloured where exposed to the sun - worst of all on the rear suspension towers. How did you prepare your vinyl for painting? I'm thinking a warm soapy scrup with a soft brush to remove grease followed by a rinse with clean water and then a thorough drying..?

tan interior pics?
I'm sure that I have buckley's of finding a parts book. I'm hoping that good photos will be enough...and that commonsnse on the part of the trimmer will help too. Incedentally, here's what my drivers seat looks like now (you can see that it must have been recovered at least once in its life already): ..also note the lovely rivets holding the centre console together!

Magazine issue on the 240z
It is Pitstop and they have a stack of shiny new magazines there...only problem is that they are all spoken for and no more are coming in We'll just have to keep an eye out in the 'normal' newsagents...

tan interior pics?
Does anyone out there have pictures of an original 240Z with a tan interior? I'd like this to help me when recovering the seats of my '73 model. I think I remember one of the original 240Z sales brochures having a car with a tan interior..?

Northbridge tunnel cameras
Thanks for the reassurance Lee. I had just picked my brother up from the E.Perth bus terminal and it was the first time he'd seen the car. I gave it full throttle in 3rd and the induction roar and acceleration were fantastic. Remember this is 'only' an L24 (albeit with an E31 head) and stock exhaust.... might have to hasten the demise of my rear muffler...:devious:

Northbridge tunnel cameras
To the Perth members... Can anyone confirm if there are currently permanent speed cameras in the Northbridge tunnel? I know that there was considerable debate in the press on this subject a few months back as there have been no accidents involving death or injury in the tunnel (so why the need for these 'safety devices'?) My reason for asking is that I had an attack of the loud pedal through there on Sunday night (boy does the Z go!) and now I'm wondering if it is going to cost me?

Hi Daniel and welcome. Your car looks familiar to me...did you buy it from a guy in Mt. Hawthorn? If its the one I think it is then he had some rust removed and repainted by Stokes and Renk in Subiaco. I have heard from a couple of other sources that they are sympathetic to older cars. We've also had our family car repaired by them and were impressed with the qulity of the job. Do you live around the Subi area? Looks like you car was photographed in the Centro streets! I'm in Daglish, maybe we could catch up and compare notes. Hayden.

1973 Datsun 240K Skyline Coupe (C110)
You appear to have a good eye for a photo location...I like the 'wind tunnel' look create by the building in the background!

Watanabe wheels
Oooo, thats nasty. You spent another 50% of the cost on shipping. Still, they are very attractive wheels and maybe, one day...

Watanabe wheels
...Oh you live in THAT London, UK. Thanks for answering Alan- you saved me getting up a head of sarcastic steam! As a matter of interest how expensive was it to ship the wheels from Japan to the UK? (as a percentage of purchase price, since all things change?)
