Give me 3 years, Ben... :classic: :classic: :classic:

Craig, I used a brand called Autosol Metal Polish. Comes in a 250mL white bottle. It's really great stuff IMO, I cant stop polishing things........

Alan, I thought of that, but I polished the wipers on my Z too (or at least I think I did.. im getting old!) and never had that problem. Hopefully the angle of the wipers on the K are similar so that I dont get the glare...

Oh yeah, red indicators, pretty nifty! I still prefer the stock orange ones though. :cheeky:

By the way, this is what you get after an hour or two of polishing!!

I'm looking for this little stainless steel part for my windscreen wipers. The other day I took them both off to polish them. However, some of the little parts are pretty bad after 30 years. After a good polish they came out well though. However, there's one bit that's bugging me with its dirtiness. Have a look at the picture. I was wondering, is there anywhere I can buy these new (not a generic hardware store one), or has anyone got a good clean one spare they could part with?

The first two are Z31 tail lights, if I'm not mistaken! The third has Z32 lights, good! The 2nd link you have posted is possibly one of the best tail light conversions I've seen (in my opinion). I'd still prefer stock, though!!!

I know some of you appreciate more than just the humble S30Z cars, so perhaps you will enjoy this link. Ferrari, Lamborghini, Alfa, Maserati, Lancia.. if it's Italian, it's here! http://anything-auto.net/EVENTS/AUTO_SHOWS/Tutto_Italiano_2004/1.html

...or maybe this one...?

Europe got the TT's though. Z32 is a very different car to the Z31.

Wow, what a fantastic picture. A dust covered Z... I love this stuff! Make sure you keep that picture.

Ummm I'm pretty sure Europe (at least England) got Z32's.

Is that 73000 miles since 1996?

That sounds pretty good to me!!

Technically, if the RX7 is a car of the 70s, doesn't that make the 240Z a car of the 60s? Let's not go there!! What an acheivement. I find it strange that the top SIX cars are Italian, except for our precious Z. That's great.

You think THAT compares to a Z????????

That's what I think too, Stephen. VG30DETT converted to one mumma-chunk turbo? In any case, I love the fact that the bodywork is all stock (mostly). Can't say I'm a fan of the wheels but I wouldn't complain!! datsun-sports, do you have any more pictures of this beauty??

But please stay here too!! And post some pics of your new baby up in the gallery if you get time, we'd love to see it. Congratulations!!! *resists making a predictable Jaguar comment*

teehee! :tapemouth

For comparison.

Just found these pics the other day - what a CLEAN 240! I'm not too fond of the colour, but I thought some would be interested. And that's not the only thing about this 240Z which is from a 350Z............

One time I rode a horse, it was at the school carnival.

Mmm wow, it fits so nicely, it looks as if it was made for it!! Fantastic.

Know what you mean.. mine is my daily transport also, so it's very hard to work on. Weekend projects only!! That's why none of my stuff has gone on yet. Well that's my excuse. The real reason is I don't want to see the bill I'm going to have to pay the bodywork guy!!!
