Ahh, here at last!

Looks like a beauty halz, the wait was worth it.

Good to see another addition to the Perth Z population too.

Yeeesss... I've heard various theorieson the subject of those bumper-mounted blinkers. One is that they were standard fitment to all later-model 240Zs in Australia. Another is that the car may have been a UK-spec model diverted to Australia...? Requires a bit of Sherlocking methinks!

[2ManyZs]

I don't know what all the fuss is about, it's just a good looking looking Zed or is that Z?...

Or all we all just jealous? Hmmmm, guess that would be a yes...

Great score Hayden:classic:

I was wondering about the dual signals too, but it kinda gives the car a little character the more you look at it. Plus a little mystery to boot....

Bet the Christmas wish list is getting longer already eh?

[halz]

Given that the other indicators are clear, the nore I look at the car the more I think the orange bumper-mounted ones should come off - I think it would tidy up the appearance of the front of the car... in the short term though, I'll just live with it until mutual trust and understanding has been formed between us ...!

BTW, my wife has named tha car 'Wasabi' (what's green and comes from Japan?)

Maybe that should be 'Wazabi!'

So how many miles/k's did you clock up getting her home? Across the Nullabor is a long introductory drive.

[halz]

Mmmmm, well I didn't drive the Nully. That little task fell to TNT transport. My drive was about 15km only!

To those bar mounted indicators, they are what gives identity to a 73 HS30, yours is an AUS spec Zed not UK spec as yours had the white parker lights below the bar from the factory. your indicator wires to the parker lights have been turned back at the factory. If you check the bulbs in the under bar parker they normally have dual filaments fitted. if you check the connector plug you will see the main loom plug has a pin missing this is the one that is taped back.

If you decide to remove the bar indicators all you need to do is remove the indicators from the bar disconnect the looms go to the under bar parking light loom plug, take the taped back wire and push the pin into the vacant position on the main loom plug and you will have indicators and parkers at the below bar lamp.

Then pack the dirty old bar indicators up and post them to Newcastle you know Steve's place, all donations graciously accepted.

cheers

I would love to drive the nully in a Z or ZX spend the whole trip doing 200+km/h because you can only get a maximum 3 demerits and $500 fine

[Gav240z]

FWIW my 73 Aus Spec 240z had bumper mounted indicators.

[Murph]

Damn that looks good! I'm jealous...

[Victor Laury]

Hayden, Now you change your Icon to your new Wasabi! Not that we don't like your bike and baby, but, it's been up there for years now! I'll bet the little girl is first year at the universery at this point.
