Whoooww..... You put a big shiny tacho on the 240zs dash? *cough*RICER*cough*. Thats unless you have full mods and need it. 240zs redline at 7000rpm dont they?

I found a great Datsun History site last nite. It has history of Zs, skylines, bluebirds and many more. Heaps of race history and pics too! http://www.datsunhistory.com/

I wouldnt have a clue but looks like the computer. goto your local Automotive bookshop and have a browse in a 280zx Haynes or simmilar workshop manual and see what the hell it is. Free and easy... unless you want to buy the book of course. Cheer'z' Chris

It looks a great front bar... It just doesnt suit the Z. Especially with blue fog lites and silver mesh... Yeh it need side skirts to balance it out. Surprised that someone hasnt become outraged about a modern, almost rice front bar on a BRE painted 240z. I love those rims! Cheer'z' Chris

Well.... The Triumph was kinda given to me from my dad. Im slowly paying him back(more $$$ is going into the Z account tho). I dont really need to spend any money on it, we got half a parts car with it :stupid: ! Cheer'z' Chris

I wish i had a Z to play with...:sleepy: And beleive me i dont have that much spare time on my hands with school(yr11 TEE) and doing up my current car( '75 Triumph 2500) and working to save for a Z!:stupid: Thanx Bambikiller240... Cheer'z' Chris

Compediter to the Z? That'll be the day... lolROF Looking at my trusty Z history book (ESSENTIAL DATSUN Z) it says in UK racing Porche 935 were the main compediter. It doesnt say anything about US race compediters. Anything could be a compediter to the Z. Take Australia for exsample. Most citizens are one-eyed Falcon or Commodore(Australian built V8 sedans) supporters that think a Datsun means "granny driven old rust heap. Thats one of the reasons why I want a Z so badly so i can proove em all wrong! From its day, sale(pricing) compediters were(according to the same book) MGB GT, Opel GT, Triumph TR6, Triumph GT6 and Fiat 124 Spider. But Performace compediters were Porche 911's and Jaguar E-Type's. Good bang for your buck eh? Its 0-60mph time was even better than the 911 turbo. 7.8 for the Z, 8.1 for the 911T. Cheer'z' Chris

I dont think you'll find much help here. The site is aimed at earlyer Zs. Mainly 240z/260z/280z. And there are a couple of members are... lets say... ZX haters:classic: Someone might help you. Cheer'z' Chris

I was wondering if Datsun ever made a TV ad for the early Z? If so, where can I download it? <-- Do you like my new avatar?(a bit off topic but hey) Cheer'z' Chris

Awww... Isnt that a nice thing to hear:classic: One Zeder helpin' another outa' the kindness of their heart. Cheer'z' Chris

Yes, truly only a guys game... You can make him pee on himself... Cheer'z' Chris PS: Hows my new avitar?

HP: Exactly the same as a 300zx Turbo 1/4 mile: Maybe a couple of hundreths difference than a 300zx Turbo A VG30DETT(twin turbo) has been tranplanted into early Zeds before. And VG30's can produce great HP and can look the part too! Cheaper than RB's too! Cheer'z' Chris

Dang! I wish I saw that $1100 240z in the quokka! I probly would have borrowed $300 off dad and got it! It would give me something to do after school!(clean it up etc.) Cheer'z' Chris

I love the body work on this car. The wing, flares, bonnet... Look great with the blue racing stripes. It just takes me as a V8 Z. Just the American look of it I guess with the white and blue, dish rims etc. That isnt very much your asking for it even if the eng doesnt go. Cheer'z' Chris

I dont blame you for being a fan of that classic S30 style, i have been for about 2yrs and im only 16! Gee, alot of new members latley! Thats always a good thing Cheer'z' Chris

That sure is a nice thing to say about your wife Stephen! Pretty racy grandma's car. Grannies over here drive 'lil bubble cars. Has Oldsmobile gone bust? Cheer'z' Chris

I saw a 260 2+2 around the corner from me. White with the 260z alloys, P plates and a custom no. plate"26T ZED" or somethin. In Wanneroo. Any club member own it/know who owns it? Cheer'z' Chris

Looks leather. I had a squiz on the Cobra site and http://www.cobraseats.com/item.asp?pg=RD&id=CLA Cheer'z' Chris

Hi all. I was just wondering what performance upgrades you have done to you L series engine, the price and power gain. I was just wondering because I can see me getting a Z fairly soon. Cheer'z' Chris

I donno if this seat has already been mentioned but here goes anyway... Its a 'Cobra Classic'. AUD$355. I found it in an oldish car magazene(5months old). Cheer'z' Chris

wouldnt doubt it Datto-Zed! ! Ahh... I dont think you gat the term 'walkabout' Bambikiller240... Dont think many americans would... walkabout is a term used by Aboriginals(native australians). for it to be gramatically correct you would say it. hes gone walkabout to Pakistan. Broken English. Cheer'z' Chris

1 bravo 6, i beleive the right word is 'walkabout' or 'pink-eye'. Geez, it takes about 5 days driving across AU, so i dout he would be walkin:stupid: Cheer'z' Chris
