I guess I failed that test of my studdies... I'll go back tomorroaw and find my oops! Will

I was beginning to wonder... On a trip by the bottle-o what grog you bludgers would have a go at, a Bundy, a stubbie, a middy, a long neck, cab sav, a clean skin, a plonk(to save moolah for the Z), a pot, a schooner, a tallie,or just run dow the block and get a butcher with a countery, or mayby just skull a pint of fourX! I do realize most of these ar containers, but you lot have to etell us what you would buy them full of! Will

In this poll I want to find out about what you would feel right about putting on your Z, If you have more than one, answer the poll with the answer for the car that is most dear to you(not necessarily the most valuable), but post your answers for the rest of your cars.

Tommohawk, As a deadener, the urethane bedliner woould muffle the mechanical and resonances noises of the car it wwas applied to, not the sounds that are comming from other traffic. Walmart(at least here in Savannah) sells a quart container of bedliner for $20. Will

My point was that most mechanics have enough to work on that they are familiar with and would charge more to work on something they are not familiar with-comparing a job rate to a labor rate, I have always found the labor rate is always more expensive. Changing out or rebuilding a 37 year old steering rack could be outrageously expensive and time consuming-the parts evidently do not interchange-waiting on parts to be shipped from overseas... Will

A couple of inches of dirt and any road looks unpaved-several movies have been filmed here, and that is all it took. Will

Most bumps in the road suck, but this oneand the ones in this thread are Verry interesting! Will

Welcome, and what a find! A rhd 70 would be more of a collector car than a daily driver. Parts will be harder to find and EXPENSIVE, as you have found out, info is more difficult to find, and unless you can work on the car yourself, you will be paying top dollar to any mechanic you can find that will work on the car-since it is not something they will have in their labor books, parts books, or anywhere else-unless they are a long time and well experienced import mechanic or Datsun specialist. Will If you deside against it, I would certianly like a shot at it for a long time restoration,

Rick, With that antenna crack, sounds like you've already hit the wizz ya mug. Rack off and have a go ya bloody bastard! Will All you Aussie lot, Enjoy the party!::cheeky: On a more somber note, PS, I agree with Jack, flags and antennas don't go together...for very long:finger: .

Yup! Will

I have only seen them in white, or body color, but body color was an owner upgrade. Will

This really needs to be in the classifieds area, but I can't get it there, maybe someone will jump in! Will

The small volume of the assemblyand the temperature range of he area-due to the added heat of the light bulb could present a problem with completely sealing the area. I think there needs to be a vent, but maybe in the area of the socket it would not leak or draw water in bad weather. Will

Obewon, That solution is fast, cheep and effective-no wonder I didn't think of it! Great idea!-the only worry I would have is if the OEM gasket has been proven to leak, we need a better answer there too. Will PS. You have the makings of a valuable technical article...

I have both painted and dyed the carpets. The paint is not so hot as you evidently already know-powdery and easily worn off. In the dye job, it looks much better than the paint, but it still doesn't look "right". When I dyed mine, the pile side was faded, but the bound side was perfect. I took out the carpet and scrubbed the crap out of it(using Dawn), and a carpet cleaning brush and rinsed until there were no more bubbles coming out of the nap. I hung it to dry, and went to a Lowes for some thick plastic sheet. I lined a sand box, mixed the dye and used the large are of the covered sand box to lay the carpet flat into the dye as per the instructions. The dyed carpet looked better, but not quite new, the fibers did not pick up the dye quite uniformly, it also wore off fairly quickly-though the car was daily transportation at the time. Will

Welcome! There are a lot of stories here abput all things involved with Zs-unfortunately rust stories are more than plentiful-but in a search for them that could be a good thing! Wow, I just refered to rust as a good thing...whoda thunk it! Will

tThey came "factory" on a few cars in Japan, no cars in the USA came from Japan with them(to a dealer) I believe they were available in japan as a factory option through 77-but I am not certian. Will

Yet another reason to visit Cali! Great local shows Victor, great job on both vehicles. Two nice Gnoses' in one show! Will

I hope every change will be photo graphed, or the session videotaped for study. Will

No! Mix them and you will have issues! Will

I just went through the HybridZ thead on this, and it looks like the test will take place in March, they are exploring the option of a second day of testing, and are evidently going to be checking for aerodynamic tuning-meaning seriously altered bodywork. I hope some of the members here who are on that thread will elaborate on what is going on, as I am certain the actual plans for the testing are being concluded off thread. Will

DeathRace 2000 All of the Herbie the love bug movies, most Elvis Presley movies, There was some movie with four of five black Z cars in it-I can't remember the name of the movie, but the cars were after the main characterin the movie, and as I recall, there was some good precision driving in the chase sceenes. Will

Is that for used of new/reproducton? Will

Bill, Work hard and play hard, say what you mean, and mean what you say. Especially when it comes to breats and thights! Will

Bill, Using the word "Best" and the the name Bill Clinton in the same sentance is like comparing your mother to Paris Hilton-though Paris would be a perfect character match for Bill Clinton... Will
