Are you absolutely sure of the no electric windows option? I'll be the first to admit I know jack when it comes to the Z other than they're freakin cool and I'd love to own one. (240 or 260):classic: But the 1973 Nissan 2000GT-X Skyline came with electric windows as standard and I believe it was an option on some of the other models, so they did have it there to be used one would think it may transfer over to the Z even if only as an optional extra. Just a thought.

I've resized the image and tried it out, so it should work, as it's just worked for me, I've attached the file to this message (hopefully). So just save it to your computer and try again with it. :classic:

I think he's more referring to the avatar, but I could be mistaken, if I'm not though it's changed using the following steps. 1. Make sure you're logged in. 2. Click on "User CP" either on the left hand menu or by clicking forums tab up the top then "User CP" should become available just below it and to the left. 3. Click on the "Edit Options" tab, down the very bottom of that screen should be "Other Options" which is where the Avatar menu is. It's pretty self explanatory from there, there's a 150 by 150 pixels or 500000 bytes limit, whichever is smaller. And if this wasn't what you meant then at least you'll have both image options answered:classic:

Just thought some of you guys might be interested in these few things, being I'm not the one selling them, I didn't think it was appropriate for me to put them in "For Sale" as I wouldn't be able to answer lots of questions in regards to them etc. They're on an NZ Auction website. Bob Sharp #33 Dinky Car Datsun 'D' Centre Caps 280Z bits If this is an inappropriate post just let me know or kill it or whatever you wish. Just thought there might be some interest.

The guy who designed this is or at least was a New Zealander apparently, they spent a while a few years back taking time to develop the mechanism that lifts the wheels into the arches, which is where all previous attempts at aqua cars had failed due to the amount of drag cause by the wheels, but when it all comes down to it, as cool as the idea is and car would be to have it just looks like a mutated MX5, and they're disgusting. However, having the steering wheel in the centre of the vehicle so you can have a girl on each side of you is definately a good idea.

Or you could leave the Z here in NZ, I'll look after it for you.

This is the wheel (P-type) I'm talking about; Sorry image is so big, it's a direct link from someone elses page, best one I could find quickly :classic: Is it the one you were thinking of?

:D :D :D Hey again guys, To anyone who has been watching or interested or helped me out. Firstly, thanks again. Secondly, I've found the problem!! After losing spark then opening distributor, screwing around with things, checking and changing point gap, changing plugs, pissing around for god knows how many hours, gaining spark back only to still have the problem, then losing it again and getting it back and losing it, I FOUND IT! The little bit of hard plastic that the condensor wire and points wire attaches to must have a crack or leak in it somewhere because after moving it when I lost my spark again, I got my spark back, being it's such a tight fit, putting a bit of tape around it wasnt a good option, however, I did manage to put a bit of tap on the bottom and up the back of it and then clamp the top under the dizzy cap to keep it in place, it's now pretty much eliminated the slight miss, there's still a hint of it's existance but nothing worth worrying about, as an electronic dizzy isnt too far off anyway. At least I know now though and I can sleep soundly. Again, thanks everyone. WOOOHOO!! :D

CRAP DAMNIT! I bought a new set of plugs, put them in, there was still a ever so slight hint of a miss, took the car for a bit of a run, on the way back the miss wasn't a hint anymore it was back to the way it was, CRAP! I thought. Got home, gave the car a rev, still, a slight miss was there, went to give it another rev and sit it aroun 2000rpm, but no, it cut on me, tried to restart it, to no avail. (at least I got home) Checked for spark from the coil, again, there's none, now I've got to go get another frikking condensor to try because I think it's killing them, what the hell could be causing it to kill condensors? However, I think I have my hands on a L20 Turbo 6 Skyline electric dizzy for not much but I'm not sure at the moment, still, I guess I'll have to wait to see if I can get one to see whether the miss is still there with an electronic dizzy. Again, if anyone can help, let me know, otherwise I'll just let you know how things go with a leccy dizzy later on when/if I get one.

Oh, OK. But what if it didn't have as much fuel to burn could it then cause problems? I just got my "How to Modify a Nissan/Datsun OHC" book and they don't even list the 4 in their range of plugs, the lowest (hottest) listed is a 5 so I was getting a bit worried. However though, sounds as if they'll do until I can get some 5's or 6's Thanks for your help everyone.

Japanese plugs works on a "smaller number hotter plug" basis NGK, Denso etc. American or Other plugs are the other way around "bigger number hotter plug" Champion, Autolite, etc. ie. NGK Champion BPR5ES = N11YC BPR6ES = N9YC BPR7ES = N7YC Also, I've just read on the NGK site that it's better to err. on the side of colder, as a colder plug will only foul at worst and a hotter plug can cause severe engine damage. Sounds nasty.

Oh sorry, I was trying to rule out the plugs as reasons for a slight miss. And just wanted to make sure 4's weren't too hot to use for extended periods of time, because if they are ok I'll use them until I can afford a set of 6's, I know plugs are cheap but I'm a pauper. :classic: I'd hate to screw the engine or electrics up somehow just because the plugs were too hot.

Being I'm eliminating things one by one, and plugs were one of those things, I remember my brother's old dismantled 2.8L Supra engine was in the garage and I thought well $^!#, that's got plugs, being I only need them for a bit of a test for the time being I'll give it a go if they match up. They're actually NGK BPR4ES, will these be too hot to run in my L24 for exended periods of time or be OK? The plugs that were in there were BP5ES plugs, which as I understand it is one step hotter than factory recommendation, so, the 4's will make it two steps hotter, but I don't know, is that still within limits? Again, any help appreciated.

What you have in the image sounds right. Our logistical offer will move you ! Sounds like you're referring to the offer as logistical. Our logistics offer will move you ! Sounds like your offer is in regards to logistics. Unless I'm mad. :stupid: :stupid: :classic:

Out of curiousity, how readily available are those MKII Supra P-type rims in the US, in NZ they're nowhere to be seen, and my brother wouldn't mind a set for his MkII, he also wants the P-type arch flares and hatch spoiler, anyone know of who to get into contact with? I've tried a bunch of NZ places for him but no go anywhere.

Nice ride, mmmmmmmmmm. I attempted to up the file to my gallery and am assuming got the same message as Gavin which is as follows: Gav240zDualPipes.avi: Uploaded file not found Typical reason is that the file exceeded allowed limits. Oh well, at least I've seen it now. :classic:
