That mini was shortened! Bloody insane though! And the Lotus7/Caterham/Westfield thing wasn't too bad either.

The site is a bit overwhelming isn't it? Don't worry, after you settle in you'll come to realise most of the links you won't need! What you do need is the "Search" one - top right menu. Here's where you'll find most of your meaty stuff. Also click "Forums" on the top left, and you can browse the forums by section. Those are the two main links you need for searching old topics. If youcan't find something, just make a topic and someone should be able to point you in the right direction, or in the rare case that it hasn't been asked before, I guarantee you someone will know!!!

Any pics of the left side? (cheeky!) -
Great wheels - did they come with the car? Oddly, it seems as though the rear quarter panel "Datsun" and "GL" badges are higher than they should be.. can you check the inside of the boot as that may give some idea as to what the story is! -
Wow - too straight! I guess the towbar can be thanked haha! It seems your rear bumper is off a later model- can we have pics of the interior next please Your suspension doesn't look too bad in this shot at all - you should see mine, I've got so much neg camber because of the sag ... -
Wallpaper?? How small a res do you have! I, too, would like a larger version -
How's the new cam Tom?? -
JMT240KGTR I think James' handle is, and before he swapped his for a Valiant he had a load of spares. I wonder if he sold the spares with the car or not... might be worth giving him a PM.
-
Hey don't apologise, without it these guys lucky enough to be in Japan might not see it! And that's good for us too, cos hopefully they take pictures (hint hint!)

Absolutely awesome! I love the wings and fins everywhere. This will be a classic soon... -
I love the Equip 4 spokes. I love Watanabes more though Here are a few links to wheels I really like. I'm not too great with all the names, but I know what I like! http://page8.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/h17326399 http://page8.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/h16919682 http://page9.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/k5398138 http://page9.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/k7926342 http://page9.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/k6155139 http://page11.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/n8800270 (:cheeky:)

http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14661 That thread didn't last long unfortunately - interesting that they actually have a celebratory exhibit at Ginza!! Wouldn't that just be the best?? I would love to see that 126X if they still have it. I think it's really cool. Could just be my imagination, but I see certain C110 cues on it.. Would love to see pics too Ben.
-
Absolutely beautiful! The others seem to have stainless rings around the indicators - were the later models without them? I take it the indicator repeaters have a similar story behind them. -
Hey Bruce! Welcome to the club If you have any pics of the C110 I'd love to see them (as I'm sure a few others are too)!! A question though - I thought the VIN prefix for the R32 GT-R was "BNR32".. am I mistaken?
-
When, roughly, did the bevel design change for the "Datsun" hatch badge? And did the bevel on the "240Z" badge also change from sharp to rounded? I remember my Z had the rounded Datsun badge, with an angular 240Z badge. It looked wrong... probably was!
-
OK - found it! It's from the C211 square-headlight Skyline. -
The front spoiler is not stock on the KPGC110 as far as I know -
Here's a question - has anyone attempted to restore a plastic badge before? What would be the best way to remove the paint to get down to bare plastic? Would paint stripper damage the plastic? Hope someone can help!
-
Only problem being we didnt get the 280ZX-Turbo!

Not sure of the demand for these things but it sounds like some are keen. Here's a set that looks in good nick and might go for a bargain... check it out Oh yeah, it's two separate auctions. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2496910800&fromMakeTrack=true http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2496910825&fromMakeTrack=true and the centre part also http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=32063&item=2496910815&rd=1

Baron Nibbles his Nuts !

central coast you say... not too far from me at all. When I emailed him the impression I got was he got a good deal from an old lady and now he's selling it off for a profit. :/
-
Looks to be in nice condition... I wonder if it will get any bids though, what with that starting price. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=45571&item=2496433591&rd=1 Interestingly, it looks like it has rear side reflectors. I did not think any Australian-delivered 240Z's had these...? Edit: OK, are those not LHD windscreen wipers?..... this looks like a yank-mobile to me!?!
-
There is very good reason why you blokes can all fit in the Z! It was specifically designed that way. I quote Kats, a member on this board who is currently away: Quote sourced from: http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11683&page=1&pp=15

Yes, they own the trademark "Z" for a sports car.. you can't have rights to a LETTER though, so naturally Z/28 and Z3 are fine. But if they referred to it as "The Z", that would be illegal.. That's my take anyway. Nissan would have paid BIG money for www.z.com... All single-letter domains are owned by the IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) for "stability" purposes. Four of them are not, however. Z, Q, X and something else. Why? Because they were registered before the IANA got to them.
