Mr Camouflage

Thats the revised version, late 71? to 73. 69/70 center console didn't have the chrome sliding ashtray like the one in the photo.

The seller is mistaken. They are not made of aluminum.

You can upload pics directly to the thread with the manage attachments button, no need to wait for approval, they show up straight away if you do it that way.

No its not metallic. Its an original Datsun Z colour 112 Yellow (aka: Lime). heres what the colour looks like in the daylight.

He's still using the Queensland photos from when he bought the car. I wanna see photos of the veilside kit. I bet its really ugly like most veilside kits are. p.s "AS THE GTR C10 JAPAN" whats that supposed to mean?

Yeah saw that. $4,990 no reserve. I wonder if the auction will get to run to the end, or if it will get yanked off on the last day.

woah, that airdam looks like it's right out of Mad Max (Road Warrior).

If your timing is 180 degrees out (and not 90 degrees out), and its had an engine rebuild, then its most likely that you distributer dive shaft was installed 180 degrees out. It's not really a problem, just makes setting the timing a little difficult, as it doesn't line up with the timing marks on the cover.

AH ok. I stopped reading that thread. Never noticed it before I saw an ad for it.

Looks like Nissan have gone a little retro with the 350Z. They've restyled the bonnet (hood) with a 240z-esque bulge. source: http://nissan.com.au/z/

Yeah it was designed by Pete Brock. They only made 6 of them.

When you say it was a modern daytona, I presume you mean its a replica, as opposed to one of the original cars. There are various companies making replica Cobras.

Knowing Alan, straight from the horses mouth, most likely. FRP, Fibreglass - same thing. Carl, how did corvettes get away with having fiibreglass front ends then?

Cool, where'd you get them from? yahoo auctions?

OK. Does the whine stop if you turn the engine off, but switch it back to on (without restarting the car)?

Even Alfa gets it wrong. The trees are Bonsai. Bansai is a misspelling of Bonsai I believe. One of the karate kid movies, I think the first one, had Mr Miyagi correcting Danial-san when he was saying Bonsai instead of Banzai (not referring to the trees, but used as a cheer of enthusiasm or triumph). Anyway back to your car, Got any photos of it after you washed all the dirt and dust off it?

Did you mean "Banzai" or do really like little trees?

Try it, I bet it wont. I guess you've never heard of flooding an engine then. Thats when there is too much pertol in the engine for the engine to fire. No it wont. I don't know where you are getting your facts from. Petrol vapour is explosive, petrol as a liquid, without the right amount of air will not ignite. Some science homework for you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flooded_engine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_explosive_limit

Does this help: http://www.datsunhistory.com/Racehistory1.html For a good example of just how much Datsuns dominated the racing scene in the 70's, just look at the 72 ARRC race at Road Atlanta.

Google: John Morton Datsun Bob Sharp Datsun Brock Racing Enterprises That should find you the answers you are looking for.

Not if the AF ratio is way out it wont fire. Too much fuel and it wont burn.

I heard the roadster was on sale a couple of months before the MG.

MG's, aren't they those english Fairlady roadster rip-offs.

There was a website for a guy building an electric 240z. If you search this forum you might find a link to it.
