There should be holes in the hatch for the pins of the badges. If not, someone's covered them up in the past. Try to get to the underneath of the hatch and you might be able to find where the holes originally were. If the holes for Japanese S30's and American S30's are the same (I would imagine so), that would be the correct placement.

Ha! You said 1 millimetre! That's about 3mm! You'll be fiiiine. Just get them ON!* Just make sure you drive verrry carefully to start with, give it a bit of a test... Are you going to strip the calipers of their red paint? Or leave them? Or repaint them? *I take no responsibility for any damages you may incur. Do this only at your own risk!!

My C110's name is Christine Jean (just Jean for short), named after the P.O.

Wow, from the pics they looked to have cleaned up really well! They look awesome, and suit very well too Look much better without the black centres. Your brothers Z looks great too. :classic:

Hehehe, thanks for the diagram! This is good news... I hope mine are actually correct! Thanks for checking Can Anyone else do a quick check for confirmation? edit: Post pics of the new wheels please!!!

http://www.nissannews.com/nissan/news/products/20040916105242.shtml Hmm, I like the wheels. (is this kind of news is appreciated??)

Odd indeed. Hopefully this isn't going to be like that Z that keeps getting relisted...

I think it would look cool - very different and probably more suited to a Z31 - but cool nonetheless. I think the hardest part would be cutting out the letters. It'd have to be done very well so that it doesn't look tacky. Do you have access to a CNC Milling machine? That would probably be the best way, if you've got access to < 2mm drill bits.

The more of these auctions I see the more I regret including the box of spares with my Z when I sold it!! :stupid:

Yeah, because that's all he's done! The people here who say they spend 20-30k are looking at show-quality cars brought back to very close to original condition. This looks like any ordinary Z with a paint job and a weird engine in the front. I mean, 40k and he's still got old grimey slotted mags?

Hi guys, Carl's recent thread about Z windscreen wipers inspired me to ask this. What are the part numbers on your wipers? Just that, when I took mine off and polished them to hell and back, they were both stamped the same "R75" or something. I'm thinking, perhaps I have two Right wipers. That would explain why the left doesn't sit quite right IMO. I'm hoping this isn't the case! Can someone check theirs please?

I am wondering... where did the $40k go? Is it in a briefcase in the boot or does he using a different currency?

The thread is also here mate! :cross-eye

You're right - that's gorgeous! Maybe you can ask the seller about its history? I doubt it was recently imported as these cars I can imagine would be worth more in Japan than America. Clearly a restoration or a low-mileage car. The paint looks in great nick from the photos!! Gorgeous car. thanks for sharing!

It was 5 Porsches actually! 3 Speedsters, a 356 A Coupe and a later model (930 I think) Cabriolet. I heard that the black one you pictured had around $150k sunk into it - concourse car :surprised

Yea I think Gav's right there - probably a misprint. Looks like a fun mobile - not the same one as you were looking at is it Chris?

Of course! Unfortunately that does not work in practice. The question really is "should right-click be disabled" - is that right Mike? Personally, I still haven't decided :cross-eye ... There are pros and cons for each, some of which you guys might not have thought about so perhaps it might be a good idea to think it through first: Pros for disabling right-mouse button - Image theft is made more difficult. - Your car pictures wont get spread around the Internet (as much) without due credit. A lot of the time pictures are spread around like this simply because people don't know any better. With this implemented, they will. - You can still save the image, just wait for the toolbar to pop up on the top-left! OR PM the user (can we link the photopost system with the forums Mike?). Cons for disabling right-mouse button - You can still save the image!! Most people who can create websites can get around the disabled right-click. So we're not actually stopping those who steal the images and post it on their website with ill-intent, only those who do it without knowing it's not wanted (the majority of cases anyway I think). - New (innocent) users who don't know about the loophole might not figure it out. - Less convenient for us. That's what I can think of. Please, if anyone has anything to add (or subtract!) to that please say so. This is a discussion, not an argument. I hope it stays that way! :cheeky: (still haven't decided)

They take it all for granted, them lousy septics!!! Imagine a wrecker yard with a Z in it!!! And not a 2+2

I don't think odometers work quite like that.. I can see the appeal in a low KM car, but personally not for me! The purpose of a car is to be driven, not looked at. Thanks for the link Marc! Definitely unique

Mike, yeah, unfortunately we Aussies only got the 2+2 models all up until the 350Z!! Richard, I agree! The 280ZX 2-seater can look pretty mean, but if you're importing a car from Japan I could think of some others I'd like more :devious: Make sure you take into account the opportunity cost!!

Try asking for a fast-delivery service - AirMail perhaps? You're collecting quite a few parts I see!! Good Have you got the flares from the Melbourne people yet?

I would do that (and I have done it too!) - have you picked up your grille recently?? They are not light!! It will still need to be shipped by a method other than regular parcel post, though.

Rob, I don't completely understand how it works either so I'm sorry if I am confusing!! The way I understand it is there is regular parcel post, EMS, or you can use a shipping company (perhaps EMS is a shipping company, I do not know). Over a certain size, regular parcel post will not work. This usually takes 6-8 weeks to arrive as it all comes by boat - the guy might not be dicking you around! EMS as I understand is by plane, usually takes 1-2 weeks. Much more expensive though. I had my (FRP!) grille sent via this service (EMS) and it was 8,950 Yen IIRC.
