Here is a recent article I thought some may be interested to read: http://www.drive.com.au/news/article.asp?article=http://drive.fairfax.com.au/content-new/news/general/2004/09/03/FFXB9808NYD.html And to think, politicians STILL say they are not revenue raisers. This is absolute bollocks.

There are a couple of guys here who will be able to help, but the majority will be at www.hybridz.org

Good. I am really disappointed that some states let motorbikes ride without a helmet. I mean, where is the sense in that??? Ohh I get it, it's to tidy up the gene pool!!

I'm with Ben, love the look of a no-fuss spoiler. Here is another picture: http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=7825 I also love the spook, would have a hard time choosing between them... I think it depends a lot on what you want the car to *be*. If it's going to be all period-correct and mostly original, I'd go with the spook (hold the vents please!). For your car, Moyest, I'd go the airdam. That said, I like the looks of a Z without any front spoiler too... That probably made it more confusing for you Just my opinion.

Do you guys in the US *have* to wear a seatbelt now? I thought it was still legal not to. Is it legal not to wear a helmet on a bike???? That's ludicrous! (In Australia it is illegal not to wear a seatbelt unless you're reversing, and illegal not to wear a helmet on a bike)

Just a reminder - 20 hours to go, and they will go.

Hmmm I was always told the hatches are not interchangeable between 2-seaters and 2+2s. Can anyone verify?

Oh THAT guy, yeah I think we all know who you're talking about there.. I guess they can give it but not take it??? hahaha, still was worth it I'm sure. Good on ya

What did you do to make them ban you Marc??? Post pictures of your (GORGEOUS and UNMOLESTERED!) car?

Woops, must have just copied and pasted the links so they include the "..." Here are the correct ones: http://www.zcar.com/forums/read.php?f=4&i=172590&t=172590 http://got-z.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7527&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 This news comes as a big shock. My condolences to his family and friends.. he was one of the cool guys here.

OK, this is great, but do we need three copies?

Alan, I noticed that the 240ZG and Fairlady Z-L both have black painted wipers as standard, and are not an option on any other model. I find this interesting - what were they painted with do you know? I always thought any black wipers on Z's were just painted by an owner at some point in time. That's right, I doubted your car.. uh!! I am ashamed. Thanks for the new info!!

Nice find! The item description is a liiiiittle inaccurate though, you're going to have to do a fair bit more than "Just position, and mark holes, drill, and install with stainless steel screws, or pop-rivets"!

Welcome!! I like your idea of a 4-cyl engine. It's very difficult to decide what to swap into a K, because of the large overhang on the front making a straight-6 kinda impractical - especially with all that power (they already are prone to understeering). This would be fine, just fit a 4 banger.... but the car is a SKYLINE! There's something about fitting anything other than a straight-6 engine that seems a bit... wrong. If you dont have that strange mental condition then go for it! Other swaps to consider are a V6 - perhaps from a 300ZX - or even a V8. Still going to sit further back than the straight-6. P.S. 3 days to go :cheeky:

Just to add one more, here in Australia a very common thing to do is flash your highbeams at the cars coming in the opposite direction to let them know they are approaching an automotive photoshoot... (police) (P.S. My 71 had no passing light - Mike seems to be on the money. My 1973 240K does - pull the lever towards you)

PNG's should be allowed... almost every paint program worth its socks should be able to convert though.

With my Z, I simply took the lights apart and cleaned EVERYTHING. You might find after doing that they'll look like new, without any abbrasives that will end up removing the lettering on the outside of the lenses.

Rob, I have my old tail lights spare if that (please dont jinx me!) ever happens. At the moment unfortunately I need the money more than spares.
