If you bought the car on Ebay you'd have everyone calling it "that crappy car Jim Carey drove in that movie". As much as I liked seeing a Z on the big screen, would have liked it if they used a different car

Almost but not quite, Rick! Mine was a 240Z - H, not R :nervous:

Rocky Auto is one of my favourite sites! I think this one is more like Alan's : http://www.rockyauto.co.jp/zaiko/rb/101.jpg : well, except the RB25!

Is it OK Gareth??

KHGC110-003292... oh wait... HS30-01031

aww! Like Will, I was waiting for the action! It's still an awesome car George, even though it seems as though it's spending a lot of time off the road, I still think it was a great buy. Can't wait for some action shots. Just make sure not to idle in the garage too long - cough cough!

U missed a U, and I'm doing a business degree so what do you expect?? Of course you have to take the comment with a pinch of salt. That's what broad statements are for - to give a view of something in general. To compare cars in different segments is unfair and proves nothing. You use the same class - for example, I'd rather be in a new 5-series than an old one, Statesman than Kingswood, 350Z than a 240Z, a Smart car than an Isetta. Fact is, and you know it, safety technology has gone up in the last 30 years and as a result the large majority of cars on the road today are safer than what was on the road back then. That's all! I'm not being controversial... obvious if anything!

Hey Gav, pop-rivets, not allen bolts! And I agree with you 100%, the best Z would have to at least look period correct. IMHO

I'll second that Ben. It is just another catastrophic weather event to support what scientists are saying - global warming has already started and has started much sooner than expected. At this rate it is only a matter of time before we start seeing very serious and irreversible weather pattern changes. Anyway, I live on a hill so the house is fine (though we had some drainage problems in the morning with leaves covering drains), and my car had carb problems a couple of days ago so I have had her in mum's garage for the last few days, she's dry

In the last 24 hours we have had our next 3 months worth of rain, 590mm but it is slowing down now. Serious flooding in areas, lots of cars washed away and 2 people currently missing. Here are some pics! (not taken by me) Uni Before: Uni After: Other pics:

Hi Chris - I thought the hubcaps were stainless steel? Or are you just looking to get a better finish??

Of course the 240Z is less safe than modern cars, to think otherwise would be ignorant. But that's one of the risks you take to own a classic automobile. I feel sorry for all involved, and hope they weren't a member here on the boards. Please drive safely, dont do stupid things and watch out for idiots! P.S. I couldn't help but notice it had fender mirrors, wonder how special a Z it was...?

Never said they weren't available, just that they were never sold here, new being inferred.

A bit more info about the 2+2 thing, no 2 seater S130's, Z31's or Z32's were sold in Australia.

That video sounds fantastic Tom - I'd like to see it! If it's over 10MB, PM me and I'll give you login details to my little bit of webspace It will have to only be temporary, but enough time for all of us to download it.

You could do..... something a little like this :cheeky: Never seen one in Aus, but I'm sure there is one or two imports. Probably be best to import one from Japan and don't worry about the new engine! L28 Turbo mmmm...

Nice avatar

Thanks fellas! I am not sure how many fireworks shops there are here, but I'll have a look in the yellow pages for something. I like the idea of the water pistol Carl! Don't worry, no sheep will be harmed in the making of this film.....

Hi guys, Bit of an obscure question, but I am doing a film for one of my subjects at uni and as a part of it a motorbike breaks down. I'd therefore like to have some kind of small smoke "bomb" that I could place on the bike to make it look like it's pouring out smoke. Does anyone know if such a thing exists and where I might be able to source a couple?? Thanks!

Looks beautiful! Time to update that avatar!
