Z Kid

Sorry about that Zedrally, Me and the dog got sidetracked by a rabbit along the way, then the dog got away, well never mind I'm back now. The 510 of mine is a 1970 model, and the pedal profile is different, when viewed it has like an S bend in it to get them to line up. However there appears to be a number on the brake (obscured by a thick layer of paint) but the clutch doesnt appear to have any stampings or identification on it. It may be a generalisation, but from what I can gather all the cars members have foudn with two numbers appear to be later cars, the pedal set I was going by was out of a 77 260Z.

I'll go look, be right back

Guys I think you will find that this site thing is actually a knock off from someone elses work, I remember their being a discussion about it a while back? It may be the original artist selling his stuff? Cheers Chris

Halz, its always the way isnt it, you buy a car, then the one you lusted after for years comes along.

Ok then, you must have got some different fords to what we had over here. Because here a cortina/escort/capri wheel is interchangable, and they will not fit on a Z, or any datsun for that matter. Just check fit, because the difference between 110, and 114.3 may not be found by the average backyarder with a tape measure. Cheers Chris

Nah its not. Well not on Australian spec early fords, cortinas escorts etc. They have 4x110 I think while the Z is 4x114.3, its ever so close, but not really close enough. I once got a datsun rim on a cortina, but only to move it round the yard, and its not coming off anytime soom. Cheers Chris

So thats tequilla, what happens if you are a real man, and you havent been chewing on lime and crap, but just drinking beer. You use the new improved bottle cleaner to clean out your empty pint glasses . Ahh cats got to hate them, even if they are the other white meat. Chris tightpussy.bmp

It all depends on what condition and type of manifold it is. If its some backyard bogan attempt using exhaust tubing etc, then it may be a bit high. If its a nice alloy one by a reputable company it sounds like a steal. There was a cannon manifold kicking round here in SA for a while, but it had been converted for some other carbs, faced till it was paper thin, and the studs (in the wrong place for a webber I took along) were brazed into the alloy (well alloy had been melted around the studs. Needless to say I didnt take it any further. 170 sounds like a steal Go forth and buy CHris

Bugger, I have the blank clutch pedal too, I guess that puts me in a good position to stamp up a fake . I wonder if anyone would take matching numbers that far. So why is the clutch pedal on all Aus cars Blank?

TRS there is a local guy (South Aus) who is trying to sell his webber carbs (I think they are 44's). Just came off a 260Z motor about a month ago, was running beautifully. Should be just a matter of bolting up. He wants about 1200, but I am sure he would be willing to negotiate. PM me if you want more details. Cheers Chris

Thats soo wasted on that little boy, I hope you tried to sit on her knee as well?

Its a WRX, the rear wing is just there to make it more comfortable to push the car off the road when its gearbox shits itself when given a workout.

ROFL ROFL Sorry, I just cant help myself, you used landrover and speed in the same sentence . Its bloody terrible over here, and people dont seem to care when they have an accident, keep the rego number handy and a tyre lever, and if you ever see it parked, systematically gouge every nice aluminuim panel. I hope the alfa will be ok, but I'm glad it wasnt your Z. Bloody Landrover Drivers . Good Luck getting him. Chris

Mr C, the ZG left the factory fitted with stock steel 240 rims and hubcaps (and to my knowledge guards uncut), best bet may be to find what width the factory option/works mags were and argue your point from there.

"Independent rear suspension? " The Z had that to start with surely? People put in different things because they lack taste, here people are just trying to guide you in the right direction. Good luck, and let u s know how it goes, it wont be easy to mount a handbrake in the centre if you get under you car and actually have a look at how the Z system works. Cheers Chris

More pics

Just some pictures for those who wanted them

I figured I'd offer em to anyone here who wanted them before venturing into the world of American Ebay. But I guess its an option. Cheers Chris
