260Zed

Was the place you went to part of a chain? Or a specialist? Do you know the equipment they used? Sounds like and interesting test to have done. Luke

Hey, couple of your radiators on ebay at the moment, manual and auto. Cheap for the condition the look like. Anyone got sizes for these? Not my sale by the way! Luke

I know that a company that has a couple of different corners for the windscreen finishing strip/mylar. I only used that actual strip, as I had the corners and joiny bit. I got them from Spectrum Rubber & panels http://www.spectrumrubber.com.au/ But if they have them id imagine they would be available from Rare Spares, Old Rubber Co. etc

Please correct me if im wrong, but wouldn't the clearcoat burn off? I agree that polishing just leads to more polishing. :dead:

Pistons, not carbs. I remember getting told they were about $100 a peice, not quoted. Just remember hearing that somewhere...

Bloody marvellous post! Long winded, but quality. Cheers Wayne!

As Halz said, it's too much with an L28. Not that ive got the cash, but i would only pay that amount if it was mint original, or maybe im tight. Will be interesting to see how many bids he gets...

I used some .1mm plastic sheeting available from my local hardware. There was some thicker sheets there but I thought I wouldnt have to go back into the door for a while (how wrong I was). I used small dabs of silastic adhesive sealant to attach. Cost me about $4.00 a metre. So $8.00 for twoo doors.

Just think of how much worse it could have been! As long as you got away with the rear bumper I think you got off lucky! 2 days ago some moron reversed into my drivers front guard. And being the careful, responsible person the were DID'NT leave a note. It was a nice dent to greet me in the morning. So in a way, your lucky it all went on while you were there. Good luck with the repairs.

I wired mine so as when the alternator circuit drops out (When engine stops) it cuts the circuit to the fuel pump. Should work fine as long as when i crash, the engine stops! I also mounted it in the engine bay so it pulls the fuel. Haven't had any probs with it mounted this way, although if my 75 had the wiring to the rear, I prolly would have put it there. Good luck Luke

Ill be there!...If I can fix/replace my tacho before then. Luke

Actually Nitrile is a better material to use with petroleum (Gas) and petroleum based fluids than neoprene. A sort of good - better relationship. FWIW

How much for both bumpers?

Sounds like fun!

Yeah, I put an RX-7 pump on my 75 260Z, works great. Took me a while to find one though, ended up getting a almost new (couldn't smell fuel on it, all shiny too!) for $50 from a mazda wrecker. Make sure you get it off a carbed RX7. (series1-2?). I've been told that it is quieter than most aftermarket pumps. There weren't any carbed 280's and im not sure if later 260's had an electric pump or not. Mine didn't have wiring for it or anything. Anybody else? Luke

Great, yeah these will be for street use. Cheers

I am changing from my 14 x 7 rims to a 14 x 6. I have got 215/60/14. I know these tyres will fit, but do you think the increased tyre wall roll will be noticable? Edit: Ill give you a bit more information, I am changing to the 280zx six spoke rims, which i thought were 14 x 6 (?). Is it possible/advisable to get these rims altered to be 7' wide? Thanks for your help. Luke

The "Handle Escutcheon (chrome)" I believe is the interior backing piece behind the door relase lever, normailly gets scratched or cracked. Held in by a little screw. I normally call it a door handle thingo. :stupid: BTW is that something they meke, or they just have a spare? Fwiw Luke
