Statement: Draw the raw prawn Definition for rest of world: Just got my imaginary tripple webers tuned for the Z car and someone wants to charge me $3000 - I would be upset - or - dont draw the raw prawn. Statement: Stone the crows (or with greater expression "Stone the flamin crows") Definition: Someone just told me that he can get 12 sec quarters out of a stock Z with just putting extra air in the tyres - I would be suprised - or - Stone the crows!!. Thought a Z slant would assist:classic: And I am not pulling the other one with the above definitions explanations:tapemouth

Drop the word love from last reply little funny face dropped off the colon :stupid:

I stick with the Meguiars gold class carnuba wax love: I have also found that their metal restorer is excellent for chrome.

Got a friend who is in bad need of a 240Z or 260Z 2 seater shell with little rust if possible Any available on the east coast of Australia going cheap? He has just about wrote his off and wants to transfer the running gear.

Carl Thanks for the offer on behalf of all us Aussies. Fortunately, all of our boys will be coming home safely as long as things settle down over there. biker

Lest we forget

Well you cannot knock a bloke for the informative banter and discussion. I am amazed that conversations can move from one unrelated subject to another without missing a beat. Banged up Z car translates to John Denver who cannot fly. Stone the crows mate!!!!!! :cheeky: BTW Took my 8 year old daughter to see the new latest released movie on Australia being Kangaroo Jack. :dead: This has set back all the educational threads that myself and the other Ozzies have been trying to introduce with snippets of Aussie Ebonics to u all. We now have talking kangaroos and what knocked me off my seat was the depiction of Alice Springs (a large city in the Northern Territory of some 200K of people) with a dirt road as a main street!!!:sick: To top it off they kept talking about Kings Canyon and the Devils Rocks being a short stroll between each other. I for one would not be interested in such a walk. If we lose another couple of tourists in the outback chasing dressed up kangaroos, this will really draw the raw prawn with the establishment. ROFL

George I always thought you were of asian origin as your photo in the avatar has that look about it - something along the lines on Astro Boy! :cheeky:

Carl To check out a tru blu aussie does not required turning him upside down. However, it does require some instruments and some minor irritations to the recipient. He is is judged on the language used when the instrument is applied in a careless manner. Something along the lines of "Crikey - was that a didgeredoo or are ya just happy to see me!!!!" ROFL ROFL

What is your location??????

To N5572B You may have just solved my problem by accident. I tuned mine up last week and ever since, have had it bucking at low revs. However, when I did the valves I was quite suprised to having adjust most of the valves which was unusual. Have redone the carbys but still got the same problem thinking that the mixture was wrong. Will go to the valves now:ermm: biker

Drop 2 seconds over the 1/4 mile and did not spend a cent:stupid: mmmm - might have been cheaper to sell it buy something else with a worn out V8 . With the change he could have put some new spark plugs in to get a better top speed:D

Hey Ozzy Guy The Calamvale Hotel is in CalamvaleROFL ROFL Seriously though the address is Compton Road Calamvale. It is about a 40 klms drive from the Willowbank Racetrack. Directions from Willowbank. Leaving Willowbank track, turn left and follow New England Hwy north towards Brisbane for around 25 klms (This does become the Ipswich Motorway) Turn off on the Logan Motorway (just past Goodna Railway Station) follow this until you hit 1st tollgate about 10klms, pay your $1.60 for the privelige and praise the lord for private industry and government :disappoin :cheeky: Go past this tollgate for another 5klms and take the Beaudesert Road turnoff. Turn right (once you workout the flyover) towards Brisbane. Follow this road for about 5 klms and turn right into Compton Road. The pub is on the left:love: If you start at the Calamvale Pub, to get to Willowbank reverse aforementioned directions:D I am an ex mexican in a land of cane toads so if you need a hand for anything, yell out

My first reaction when I heard the warning to Syria was "bloody hell - Is George trying to make up for the perceived mistakes of WWII whereby they had the army in Europe and regretted not rolling onto Moscow as that is what Churchill wanted to do after defeating Germany.:stupid: If i was in charge of an Arab country at the moment I would be keeping a very low profile as some mad cuss might just want to shoot it off. biker

Just another word of advice If you start adjusting things such as balance, air mixture, etc, take a note on where the settings are before you start e.g screw in mixture nut but count the turns until it is seated. If things go wrong, at least you can get it back to where you started :classic: biker

Get someone else to do themROFL Seriously, it will all depend on what configuration you are running. If I follow the book, mine will run like a pig as I am running a cam and advanced timing. It states that you need one turn on the screw underneath. I found that mine will run better with two turns. I think it is also essential that you get a balancing tool to get them right. Once you achieve this, car will run nice and smooth :cheeky: Biker

I am running with KYB which were around $120 each in Brisbane. I could not afford the Koni as they were twice the price. biker

Sparuns I used to think the same thing about getting everything chromed but after seeing a few efforts on this site from metal polishing, I will probably stick with the polishing. Gives you something to do on lonely wintry nights biker:cry:

I hope to be there as a spectator. Thought about an entry to the sprints but could not get past the missus for the cash. Just watch out for the green metallic front end dented Z:love: Might not look pretty but I have got it handling well:devious:

If it has been sitting for a year and you just want to crankc it over to get it fired up I myself would do the following 1. Drain carbies of fuel - probably gone to water:cry: 2. Change Oil - probably gone to sludge 3. Remove plugs 4. Drop down some oil (tablespoon in each) into the chambers and leave overnight- just for any rust spots that may have formed on the cyclinder lining. 5. Clean up points 6. Replace plugs 7. Turn over engine without spark to get the oil moving in the cyclinder (remove rotor button) 8. Replace rotor button, cap 9. Cross fingers and fire her up. :classic: Once you het it started don't keep it going for too lon. Only enough to have a listen. I would then get the rocker cover off and do the valve clearances and also making sure that oil is coming up the oil ways. The above assumes that you have strong spark at the plugs, fuel, water and a strong battery. :classic:

Heu Sparuns You should call that motor "Sacre Blueau"ROFL Looks Great however I would have proably gone with teh white headers myself. You now have given me something to aim for:D

I am off to buy a buffing pad with HD Grinder:cry: I used the old fashioned elbow grease and it come up ok but nothing like that. And to boot I had sore fingers which were mangled and black from the aluminium as well as the missus shaking her head at me all day thnking I was once again nuts

Nigel You get the prize form the best reponse so far to this thread - love that type of humour:love: Geez Bravo1 - another can of worms is right:finger:

I suggest the first photo leave a little to be desired especially with that Camaro style front end:alien: The 2nd photo of the yellow one - now that is not bad biker

Thats a pretty good photo off the Head Are you driving that thing (ore carrier) or just hanging around:classic:
