Zedrally

Some interesting results coming out from the left hookers! Wonder if only RHD models had the clutch stamped, which begs the question, if they did then did Nissan manufacture a different clutch for Rh & LH drives? I'll have a look [with a mirror of course] later in the afternoon!

Carl, Wonderful article on the Ignitor. After seeing the photos, one cannot make the assumption that the Pertronix is mearly a reed switch activated by a magnet. Am I correct on this? Are there any Aussie Guys using this system? Keep those fingers hitting the keyboard and look forward to more in depth how to's!

In which case they are unique!

It's most likely the points. Check the gap, if there closed then adjust to .5mm.

I think the original discussion point may have been based on uniqueness, rather than rarity. To say zeds are rare is a contradiction as over 1/2 a million where built, however, some varients are unique and surviving examples of these may be considered rare by some. Depending on how the question is put, different answers will eminate from different corners of the globe! :classic:

Looking good, but what is a rosette?

Well that number is indeed rare! Wonder if it's the last one produced or is there a later number. If not your 240 is indeed rare!

You didn't mention the rim? I'm not sure if it's the same thread, however I mentioned in one that I had a similar problem caused by the rim going off centre. 2 possible solutions where: Buy new rims, which I did and the problem went or have them plug, welded up and new holes drilled. Good luck

If you want to replace it with "something" out of a Mustang etc, just save yourself $$$$ and time and buy a Mustang or whatever to begin with. Honestly, if you don't like the zed as it was designed then may I suggest that a complete re-design isn't warrented, it's much simpler to buy what you want in the first place!

Sell it and buy a 260!

My guess would be 1970.

After you Mike, Lead the way old son!

I would doubt it. The kit was designed for a SX. Contact the manufacturer for specific details.

Amazing how quickly this thread has moved. Nice to see 2many in person at last, putting a face to a name brings you out of the cold. Now for that other faceless person, yes, betadog, you know who you are! ROFL

Whilst everyone is telling you to stay clear of this car, I feel that this is premature. Firstly, [i may have missed this] but is this a complete package? Secondly, As a seller you always ask for a high price, the story is that you can never up the price so as a seller you start high, obviously there may be a LOT of negotiation here. After all if you manage to secure the lot for $500 then consider this a good deal. [hope you have a big garage]! REmember it is rapidly approaching Xmas and the seller may have to part with this, irrespective of realising his high price. By all means look at other cars, once you've looked at a few you will have a better understanding of Zeds and relative prices. Be ruled by your head and not your heart and lastly remember everyone has an opinion , some good, some not so good. Good luck and good searching.

Search the site for front spoiler, you will be surprised at the amount of info.

I think with it being a detergent oil it prevents buildup that prevents sticking. I've used it in both cars for several years now with no adverse effects, can't say performance is any better, but I've always got ATF on hand [cheaper to]!

Carb Oil, Use ATF.

Alan, I believe Dash Resto's in Qld do the door skins. HIH Mike

Haaaaaa. Why waste you're time on this. Go for a RB series engine instead!

Kahlau in mine please.........

Ok, here you go Man & MAchine. Notice no hat or yellow pages!

OK Convinced. But I'd still like to see a monacle on Victor!

Haaaaaaaaa. Still need more convincing that, that is you Alan!
