Better chime in again - brother's has a CA18 but wants an SR20DET swap (I think most Exa owners do). I think it will have to wait a while after this recent woopsy-daisey:
-
A student at my school owned a Z32 while I had my S30 - the Engineering teacher would always call his car a Datsun and mine a Nissan - it really peeved the other kid (he did it on purpose - funny man)
-
Hummerz.org ?? There's a few that made their way down here, but on some of the roads it'd just be impossible. Good for a desert though.
-
ahaha!! I hope it is a Yat-Ming. -
Guys, Thought it were more appropriate to put this in here than the "For Sale" forum as a lot of you wouldn't look there! This is a genuine KPGC110 front grille badge from Japan, in as new condition. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=2495175300 If you're going to make a GT-R replica, this is for you.

Way too much flaring at the rear too. The Lotus Cortina wasn't up there for long.........

Victor, welcome back! Haven't seen you on the forums for weeks...

The SWB C110 at least has a wheel similar to the LWB, not like this though. I think this looks too modern for that era, and that little "S" logo was only C210 and later. The C210 is similar but not the same (3 spoke, round centre), and the style looks too old for an R31 - that's why my guess is R30 I tried looking for pics on the net but it's impossible! -
The same design anyway - either the spokes are thinner or the wheel larger diameter I think -
Have a search on the boards about the steering wheel situation - at least in the Z's case, the steering wheels were a wooden centre, but then faux wood over the top for a nice finish. It was really very good fake wood though... I don't know for sure about the C110, but I would imagine they would use the same technique for it. -
Oh there's the problem! Like Gav said, just something not loading correctly. In the third pic you posted Carl, you can see the problem(s). Some mentioned it was something about the donations box, but here we can see exactly what it is. The first two "button" images aren't loading properly, and so what IE will do is simply display a box with the ALT text (part of the HTML). Since the ALT text is very long, it screws everything up. Two solutions: - Upload those images to our server (seeing as the others load, I assume they're not on the same server) - Shrink the ALT text
-
Nice photoshop! Not too sure Mr. K would be happy with what you did though -
WHY ARE THEY ALL IN MELBOURNE?? "1900cc 4 cylinder engine" - I didn't know Cedrics came in a 4! Geez, that must be even slower.

You're good Alan!! Convertible, too (I adore it!) http://www.rrbc.jp/20021110satte_n07_classic_car_festival/20021110satte_n07_cla_fes750w1.jpg -
I'm guessing because of the huge amount of metal on the Hardtop's C pillar. Remember the Hardtop still has seats in the back and all - inside it's basically the same as the Sedan (I wonder if there's any less room? Something for us to measure and swap I think). The Hardtop is exactly the same dimensions, except for height (sedan is 1cm higher). In my July 1973 manual it lists the weight as 1170 and 1180 for the sedan and hardtop respectively (add 20kg for automatic trans). Interestingly, in my March 1976 manual it lists the weight as 1200 and 1210. I wonder where the extra 30kg came from? Also, the fuel tank was 55l in 1973 and 60l in 1976, and idle speed was increased from 550-650 (manual) and 650-700 (auto). Just some random facts I think it would be hard to say either was better in the handling department, as the cars are quite front-heavy and perhaps the extra 10kg on the rear helped balance things out? Or perhaps it didn't... who knows... -
This is the one from the C110 GT-R, note the grip is rubber (leather?) instead of the 240K's faux wood, and there are no horn button repeaters.
-
R30?
-
Interesting - notice the similarity between this and the S30Z.
-
err.. Mazda Carol? I'm not sure
-
That is one sexy Z. 10+++ -
I'm not sure if anywhere else got them (dont imagine so), but we got the Mazda RX2,3,4 too Unfortunately, later we weren't so lucky (we never got the 2 seater S130, Z31 or Z32). -
Yeah, that offset can't be good. Dont like the truck indicators either, but I see a nice Z behind it all :) -
Hm, good question. I always imagined the Z432-R would be the better of the two (same reasoning as Eric) but I dunno... you would have thought Nissan would race their best car more extensively...?
-
Something to take note of - the auto and manual trans will have different idle speeds IIRC??
-
It's a scam. (see previous topic: http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14313&page=1&highlight=350z)
