And this : 

and this (guy forgot he'd already PM-ed me):

and this last - all received the same day :

Can an admin/mod alter the titel please to read 'scammers' ? Thanks.

When you post a parts-wanted ad OR reply to and ad/thread requesting a part, beware of the responses : can be a simple reply, usually a private/direct message.

The guy might even refer you to another saying ''I've seen this guy advertsing a few''

It'll all sound totally convincing and along with the request for paypal via 'friends/family', which, to a member on this forum seems reasonable too.

Check out their member status : for how long they've been a member here and have they posted anywhere else and what was it - in most cases only a VERY brief time, sometimes the same day and with no other public activity (hence the PMs).

Admin/moderators - impossible to screen every request for membership however may it be possible that every new member must post a message in the presentation section to unblock their activity elsewhere ?

Guys - a well maintained engine shouldn't be doing this...in any weather ! Nissan did not make it so.

Fit some efficient heat-shield material and run it from engine head to chassis rail.

There's a lot of turbulence behind the radiator - does anyone seriously believe the the hot air rises only vertically ?

Keep in touch - my next batch due in just before Easter in April.

It's not 'up to you' Alan and if you see such an opportunity as a task - it's dead in the water - it must be a pleasure, a passion.......a legacy (much like the 'deal' when you took over the C10 from your Japanese friend) to continue educating people, showing, explaining, promoting.

I absolutely agree with you here "that responsibility has an obligation to get it right, or at least get it as right as possible".

Without your 'inside' and more profound knowledge, it won't ALL be here so any writer won't know what he's missing to have included !

Can you imagine me rummaging around and then presenting it to you for pre-production peer critique/fact-checked ? You'd soon get pissed off despite the material for public consumption contained therein !

Better that the peer himself write it and have THAT checked by HIS peers !

So, collated, sieved but plagiarism...always a touchy subject of yours however we're all still waiting for the best possible definitive JDM S30 book (in English) from the man who knows..... and obviously the only way to have the truth told and dispersed...maybe even copied by the lazy journalists but at least they'll be plagiarising what they ought to share.😊

Ok, thx.

Any new ones available anywhere ?

If anyone else has - I'm still looking please.

Some ding dong always manages to sand them, every one I have had looked like that.

This one when pushed in, sticks on one side - a pita to open the hatch !

Sorry Sean but i have no clue what your looking for, can you put a picture up here from the part you are looking for? (i googled your "boot lock press" but still have no clue..

Is it the lock from the boot? upper or lower? both??

Hi. This :-) !

For what?

Perhaps mayolives perceives that you were criticising when merely pointing out a fact ?

If it has been gleaned from here then at least it's all in one place - an easy read Ladybird book of 'How to Z432-R' although there are a few bloopers such as : "Kobe Siebo Rally magnesium wheels''

Hi - so the slam panel is intergrated in the rear lights/valence panel ? How much to ship to 85700, France please and could you fit other panels inside with it for the same shipping cost ? Thx

I have a prototype to fit between my line and the MSA 6-1......but I'm not keen on the 6-1 design for anything other than its' conceived role - that of track and drag-runs.

It's not ideal for street cars- it makes noise but noise isn't performance. It creates exhaust drone at highway speeds whereas MSAs 6-2 doesn't.

On both your drawings, you're missing a resonator which'll not only eliminate the exhaust drone from your 6-1 but will increase the scavenging effect. Fit one of my complete lines without the resonator and not only will it be noisier (no better sound, just more decibels to p*ss off your neighbours and the cops) but should be down as much as 30-40hp on a mildly-tuned performance engine.

I'm not advocating buying one of my systems so this is what I'd reccommed :

MSA (no-smog) 6-2 (Code: 15-6001 Price:$252.87) 2.5" pipe then convert that 2-1 pipe to become 1x pipe at the rear of the transmission then fitting a resonator before continuing out to your muffler. The header isn't expensive, sell off your 6-1 to recover something, get MSAs Performance exhaust (Code: 15-6021 Price:$174.95)

With selling off the 6-1, it should cost you about $350 then spend some on extending that secondary pipe and fitting a resonator. You won't get better performance for less !

Surely if this is the only incident, then the system hasn't been installed correctly ?

How’s my header coming along !!!!!

Please PM me.

If I was looking for an inexpensive, effective header, I'd go for MSAs' 6-3-2 and NOT the 6-1. If you must have ceramic-coating, get it coated after the purchase :

Anyone know anything about OBX?

Hi - if you're going to buy that then at least pay what's worth :

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Fit-77-83-Datsun-280Z-280ZX-2-8L-Non-Turbo-Mid-Length-Exhaust-Header-Manifold/401588176937?fits=Make%3ADatsun&hash=item5d80854829:g:5T0AAOSwR5Fc-8pJ

And know that the ports are round on all such headers and if you haven't spotted it - the gasket is completely useless.

He must have had that car for at least 2 weeks.. 🙊  ...  I never have heard he had one..  (But as i am a real hater of soccer.. (we call it: dat stomme voetbal!)  really allergic...  I don't know what cars Johan drove.. i know that he had a citroën SM after the 240z.. what a disappointment that must have been...pffff...)

Well, he played, coached and died at Barcelona...je neus lang is !

Ironic really because Cruyff was quoted as saying "Football is a game you play with your brain" 😄

An SM - fabulous car - pure art mobility.

Here's another well known footballer and his astute choice of personal car.

The above-bumper front turn-signals were a result of changing European safety laws for minimum-height front visibility !

Johan apparently later bought a silver 260Z two seater which now resides in Spain - I saw the previous paperwork with his name on and drove it on the Barcelona F1 circuit.
