It is amazing how a car can bring so many life experiences.... the 5 minute setat belt adjustment is a classic - I think i am going to write a manual and put it in the glovebox.... hehehe:classic:

oh, and its Thursday 30th OCT. Hope your tomorrow is better than my today! hehehe..

I am at home studying for an exam tomorrow :mad: It is 3.25PM here in Melbourne, AUS.

hehehe - would love to but the cost of shipment to Oz would cos more than the drum itself!!! :classic:

sorry, my bad

May I ask why you have one and not the pair for sale?

Stuff getting another girlfiend lads - spend more cash on the car and pic up chicks with that! You then got a double bonus - Nice car, with nice chicks in it! hehehe :classic:

Patience is the key to getting your Z... and a little luck... but i believe you make your own luck anyway.. :classic:

Now all I need to do is get a fuel injection manifold and computer... hehehe

Sweet - I will look into it. Thanks for the help ZedRally.

Baffling was what i was thinking of actually... do you know if foam filled tanks are Ok for road use??? I know my old man has a HORNET foam filled tank in his Sprts Sedan 510.

any ideas on how you would fix the fuel starve problem? Great Site by the way. Thanks for the info.

I actually like it... Bit different I suppose. As long as the panels are all fibreglass and they havent hacked up a good Z shell... :mad: I do like it without the rear wing (In the pic above) Cheers

I am also after info on this subject so if anyway wants to comment.... What info i have from Gav240Z is that it can be done using the e88 head (I am looking at getting the whole FI setup/PC/wiring from an R30 Skyline - I have an L24 with big valves, cam etc. Looking foward to anyone else's opinions... :classic:

come on chaps, it isnt that hard to get under the car and change the bulbs from the rear. I have H4's and didnt find it that hard to do.. a little work, but what else on the 240Z is any easier???

I hate to hear it when dudes looking for a great car like the Z's get stuffed around and fall into the trap where you buy what comes up even though it isnt what you want only because there isnt a whole lot that comes up anyway! I am one of the few (I think) that had a huge bunch of luck when looking for a zed. I was at a large prominant car yard in Melbourne looking for an R33 Skyline cos I had cracked the sh*ts and decided a big bank loan was the only alternative to my 8 months of looking for a half decent Z (one that was ready to drive - Dont have a huge shed so massive rebuild was out of the question). I was actually sitting in a 92 Turbo 200SX when i peered through the rear vision mirror and there stuck in the rear corner of the yard was this awesome 73 240Z with 12 months reg, no rust for a quite yummy price! Drove it twice and bought it 3 days later. (you can see it in my gallery) It has a bit of rust coming thru the doors, and a few cracks here and there, but on the whole it was bloody good luck that got me the car. Just a good-luck story to keep the forum vibe 'up' and to give motivation to all you hopeful buyers! Keep it up, patience is everything. It will happen.... MP :classic:

STEVE To add to your database heres my stats - 10/73 240Z VIN - HS30103488 Factory Orange Looks like mine may be one of the last 240Z's to be shipped here! Can you tell me steve if anyone has an chassis numbers greater than mine? I am relatively un-educated with the chassis numbering system so i have no idea what the VIN number for 240Z's went to. Cheers boys

My 73' zed doesnt have the bumper mounted indicators just to add the the convo. But i am unsure whether I have the stock bumper. I only have the clear indicator/park lights under the bumper.

i wanna see the size of the blow off valve u r going to use

I just re-read my post - my english is bloody shocking! hmm.... If you are running carbs, and only one cylinder isnt firing, i think it is has a stuffed plug and might be running a bit rich which is wetting the plug (as you said) and thus not firing the plug. As i rambled on about, replace all the plugs and see how you go. Will work on my english..
