    So how are plans going for the gearbox transplant and engine upgrade Lachlan?

    Looks like Chrysler have put in some effort and managed to create an overweight Honda NSX...:classic:

    Humpf! I would regard the '73 as the most highly developed of the 240z series...

    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.

    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..?

    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!

    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...

    That'll do nicely - thanks for your help!

    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..?

    I know the mag. we have a motoring bookshop closeby which flys in the european editions soon after they hit the shelves.
  12. halz replied to TTDRIVER's post in a topic in Open Chit Chat
    Thanks, I'll zip down and grab a copy!

    Ivan, What is the mag called and which edition is it? Thanks, Hayden.
  14. You could send a pm to Alfadog (also in Brisbane), I think he's planning to do the same. Also ask JM240KGTR (I think thats his name)

    Looks like That Ozzy Guy's old car.
  16. I'd be happy if there was a local who could repair my dash too...any chance you could post the details Cuong?

    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:

    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?
  19. Don't worry about that, we sit outside where we can see our cars!
  20. 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.

    So have you got a set Lachlan?
  23. halz replied to HS30-H's post in a topic in Old For Sale Ads
    BTW, What is that picture in your avatar?
  24. halz replied to HS30-H's post in a topic in Old For Sale Ads
    Oooo, thats nasty. You spent another 50% of the cost on shipping. Still, they are very attractive wheels and maybe, one day...
  25. halz replied to HS30-H's post in a topic in Old For Sale Ads
    ...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?)
