That Ozzy Guy

First you find me my car and now... Now how did you get that weight Steve?

Anything to get away from work Alan. My car is a 1972 Australian delivered model and we're looking for an automatic version weight if possible. Chris, unless there is something about the automatic model with a higher weight I wouldn't bother. The aim is to get it past 1040 and the registry doesn't really care about the source but if it was Nissan it would make things so much easier. Thanks guys, I appreciate your help.

That helps me alot actually Alan. I've made so many calls today and I'm getting the impression that the automatics weighed 1044 which means I can stick a 305 Chev in it and then stroke it after it's engineered. However I still need to get concrete evidence from a Nissan publication stating that weight for an engineer to aprove it. Cheers

Does anyone have one of these in Australia? I need some information from it. The original tare weight of an automatic 240Z 1972 model. Thanks guys.

Guys in Aus, I need your help again. I need to find out the Tare Weight as per the manual originally released by Nissan for an automatic 240Z. The automatics weighed more so I might be able to get through engineering with a 305. Please help. Cheers

Hi Sean and welcome. There is alot of information on this site so stick around and use the search button. You'll be surprised at what you can find.

Welcome Paul. Car looks fantastic mate.

15 years for me. Woo hoo, something to look forward to.

umm, are you guys discussing that thing with that thing? You know, that thing.

Just thought I'd chuck in a useless fact. WD40 stands for Water Displacement 40th attempt developed by Norm Larsen in 1953. Cheers ps. Rick, you have a pm. Noticed you haven't read it yet.

ROFL Hey Jeff, what's liquid wrench mate? Please enlighten this poor fool. Does it go by another name perhaps? Cheers

Thanks Keith :classic: ROFL Oii, that was below the belt. I'm pretty fragile atm as I'm turning a quarter of a century on Friday and everyone has been teasing me about getting old. It's too bassy in a bad way Lachlan. There's just too much low frequency. Atm, I've got whatever the car came with when I bought it. A Pioneer deck with a couple of Pioneer 6" (?) speakers in the tool compartments.

It would be a propper strut brace Lachlan so it'll be good either way. What I like about it is, it'll create a proper boot space (kinda) by making the back of the box join the floor at a 90deg angle and have the other side obtusely angled (speaker face). Hopefully the distortion will get cut down considerably. carguyinok, i've already got the speakers set in the tool boxes. Bought the car like that but I'll be looking at improving that set up somehow. It's too basy atm. I've got my bass down to -3 and it's still too much.

Cheers. That's the kind of criticism I was looking for. Also, how would you be able to get to the spare tyre? Wouldn't the box get in the way??? Keith? I agree it is pretty expensive but if it looks neat... I don't particularly like backyard jobs unless my father is involved. He's one of those Jack-of-all-trades that freaks me out every time he picks up a tool. Anyhoo, I've got this idea for an angled sub box that uses a rear strut bar for support. I'll get some pics when I eventually get around to doing it. But before I do that I'll need a strut bar won't I. Why do I bother trying to save money:disappoin

Has anyone used this speaker panel from MSA? Does it work well? Cheers

Hmmm. Well it sure fooled me.

Thanks for that but what do you mean by plastic wood wheel?

Hi guys. I've decided to get my steering wheel treated similar to kats' one. Picture here. What I need to know is who can do this sort of work for me? Any help appreciated. Cheers
