Hey guys, got a set of 260Z rear lights, nothing special if your car is an australian one like this wreck, but if you are in the US, and want the look, these may be for you? Cheers Chris

Keep your eyes out for the penultimate round of the V8 supercars, it was a fine event (fine in more ways than one for a couple of drivers)

Crawl under and have a look, mind you for you guys the pavement would be cold at this time of year Good luck

The link doesnt work for me?

Well there wasnt much peer pressure, but I figured I's post anyhow. Here is me, all 6'7 (thats a regular doorframe I am standing in) and slightly overweight , but then you guys wouldnt have the guts to say that in person. Ignore the somewhat red face, I'm not an alcho yet, just slightly sunburnt/roadkill look, I got run over by a powerboat on the weekend (long story). I will live to fight another day. Cheers Chris

Wow, what a diverse bunch of people (notice diverse not freaks). But unless someones posts a humiliating photo, I am not even going near the camera, we have a good understanding me and the camera, I am behind the lens at all time. Man you guys are old Cheers Chris

Where do baby planes comes from? A mother and her son were flying QANTAS from Perth to Sydney. The son, who had been looking out the window, turned to his mother and asked, "If big dogs have baby dogs and big cats have baby cats, why don't big planes have baby planes?" The mother, who couldn't think of an answer, told her son to ask the stewardess. So the boy asked the stewardess, "If big dogs have baby dogs and big cats have baby cats, why don't big planes have baby planes?" The stewardess responded, "Did your mother tell you to ask me?" The boy said "Yes she did". "Well then, tell your mother that there are no baby planes because QANTAS always pulls out on time. Have your mother explain that to you...

Here is the picture that tells all

There are a few of the members here that have them Lachlan: http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=3215&password=&sort=7&thecat=998 Kyteler: http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=8050&password=&sort=1&thecat=500 Jim: http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=7663&password=&sort=7&thecat=998 If you ever really get the urge, they are not to hard to locate over here for the price range of about 500-4500, 2k could get you a pretty nice one, then youd need to ship it to you and the wheel would be on the wrong side, but still doable if you were desperate for one. Certainly be something different in the US I guess. Come to think of it they are getting a bit rare over here too. Cheers Chris

Hmm, I wonder if the murder rate goes up around thanksgiving, as a few people accidentally murder the wrong "turkey". Its clear to see which one is winning at this stage, which is interesting given the number or yanks normally about, they will have to do something to redeem themselves, unite as one and vote for the preferred meat. Stress less guys, its a fun poll, dont get too worked up about it. Cheers Chris PS US 240Z, dont be offended, but dont be such a prawn, lighten up a little.

The orignal alloys are spoken for (will check with the guy again tomorrow), however I still have a set of centre caps for them in reasonably nick, I have a few individual ones as well. As for the Datsun badge, I think I have one, but no pins left on it, the next thing is should the datsun badge have the square or round edges? Not a lot of good stuff on this car sadly

Love to come, but I dont think I could justify the drive. Good luck, and keep the boys with big cheque books honest. Chris

http://www.wreckedexotics.com/newphotos/bad/bad308.shtml does the front view help at all?

I really dont think I can remember any newzealander jokes not involving sheep. How does a New Zealander count sheep, one, two, three, hello darling, five, six (sex). We have more sheep, but more people as well, so its not so bad I hope. Cheers Chris PS My memory is not short its selective

R180 as far as I can tell, but will know for sure when I get it out tomorrow, interestingly it has half shafts which slot into the diff, not bolt onto flanges. Chris

Ozlime, when you say the dovetail, are you meaning the whole large latch part on the doorframe? The 260 has that, but it doesnt have the little cast alloy wedge that I fear you may be referring to. Gav, no outer door handle or vinyl trim, all carpet.\ DattoZed, I think RogersZ may have beaten you to that as well, but I will have a good ferret round my parts collection. Hmm maybe more of it will go to the dump than I though.

Hi Guys, I am wrecking a late 260Z 2+2, and have got the ultimatum from mum that it has to be gone by christmas time. Rather than dump it all, I am offering it to you at knockdown prices, I have taken most of the driveline and its in two pieces (oops I slipped with a grinder ) I need most of the front end for my 240, but it has good tail lights, and many ok bits and pieces inside. Write what you want here, and I'll let you know if Its on there. Its even cheaper for locals who can come and take the bit off themselves. Act fast, or it will have already gone to the great big junkyard in the sky. Cheers Chris

Hey now, this could get ugly How do you pick a New Zealander in the shoe shop? He's the one with the erection by the ug boot stand There was once an Australian over in New Zealand, and he witnessed a New Zealander farmer having sex with a sheep. He says, "What are you doing? Over in Australia, we shear our sheep!" The New Zealander looks around, and says, "Well you're not shearing mine!" (Must be told in an Aussie accent) What do you call a New Zealander with 15 girlfriends? A Sheperd Why couldnt 240ZNZ take his girlfriend to the rugby? He was scared she would jump the fence and start eating the grass Hmm seems to be a common link here I have visited New Zealand once, and I have to say its some of the most beautiful countryside in the world once you get over the smell, pity its full of New Zealanders (who are actually pretty top people) Come on now you New Zealanders, defend yourselves and retalliate

Hello, Just a couple of questions about your airdams; I assume that they would come in a flowcoat or gelcoat finish straight off the mould, would this finish be good enough to bolt straight up to a car and go? Are they hand laid/chopper gun? What is the thickness of the fibreglass, or the thickness you aim to get? Cheers Chris

As someone who swears by an air impact ratchet to undo seized on bolts, why is hitting them with a hammer any better, the force from a hammer is often not in the right plane, and less accurate than the good old rattle gun?

Jim, As far as I know, it was only the very early 240Z boxes which had a flange to bolt the tailshaft to, and this was also used in conjunction with a two piece shaft. The later Z boxes (well all the ones I have seen) have the slide in system where you just slide the shaft onto the splines. hope this helps a bit Cheers Chris

AFAIK, solex locks dont do a pushbutton system like the Z hatch needs, so you could probably do the doors, but not the hatch. Solex locks are good but watch out when installing them, if you get it wrong, you need to take a drill to them to fix em. Cheers Chris

What is it with you yanks and your parts cars, they all look to perfect to be being destroyed, it brings a tear to my eye. Nice looking garage you got there, I am sure there is room for a couple more cars though.
