overboring the engine will increase compression too. Something to keep in mind when calculating the CR.

you could ask this guy if he has one http://search.ebay.com.au/_W0QQsassZralphe777QQhtZ-1

If I change my name to Manuel, will you transfer the car to me Just kidding. I see this is your first post, so, welcome to the club. Lots of helpful people here if, you can stand a bad joke every now and then.

Welcome back Would those be the tie down hooks that were supposed to be removed by the dealer, because they aren't strong enough for towing, just holding the cars still on the ship over?

They just pop on. To get them off, start at the back of the car and sort of twist the bottom edge away from the car, while pulling gently on it, to pop the end off, then work it off along the curve to the bend at the A pillar. Then the part on the a pillar should come off in one go as you angle the trim away from the car. The door trim part is just clipped on. Wind the window down and start at the back of the door, just pull it straight up.

The USA is full of 240Z's why do you want to import one from Japan?

I've seen photos of this car before, and now its for sale on ebay. http://contact.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ShowAllQuestions&ShowAllQuestions=&requested=cm-biz&iid=170078992520&redirect=0&ShowASQAlways=1&SSPageName=PageAskSellerQuestion_VI&frm=284&guest=1 But some of the comments people make, like this A-hole. what a tool.

The splines are right. I've seen a few 260z's with 240K steering wheels. Even seen a fairlady roadster with a K wheel.

Zeds had 14" wheels.

Yeah but you're from Queensland so thats ok In WA Yabbies are the little fresh water crustaceans you get in dams and rivers, like this http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v246/SKY031/My%20Pets/?start=20 where as we call these crayfish http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3e/California_spiny_lobster.JPG/800px-California_spiny_lobster.JPG So what do you callcrayfish yabbies, what do you call yabbies? ....all of which have about as much to do with zeds as the smokey and the bandit trivia thread.

Manage attachments opens a pop up window. I'm thinking that maybe your browser has a pop-up blocker on it, and maybe an ad-blocker to, and that might be why the images are not showing in the threads. Most of them have an allow pop-ups from site etc. you just have to add this website to the allowed list - if thats your problem. If you are using IE, try using Firefox.

Anybody know if rust repair sections are available for the 240K (C110 Skyline) in Japan? I don't think I'd find any in Aus. I have rust in the rear sills before the wheel, and i think it would be difficult to make up a patch with the correct contour , where the "waveline" (I've heard it called that so seems as gooder term as any) splits in 2. The lower part of the line goes right into the rusted section. I think ie would be easier to buy a section if it were available, rather than to try and make one up.

If you dont take preventative action, spare parts disease (S.P.D) can get progressively worse. First it starts out as a set of hubcaps you don need - you don't have the steel wheels they fit on in the first place, since your Z has mags. Then it progresses to other bits you dont need, and if not treated at that stage, it degenerates into P.C.D. (parts car disease) and you find you have an un-restorable rusted out car taking up space at your house. The sufferer of PCD is happy in their delusion that they have a whole car full of spare parts, and in their mind they will often think the car is not to far gone to be fixed. They will use the parts car as a storage place for yet more spare parts obtained from ebay, internet forums, and local classifieds. At this stage the sufferer can become interested in other models of car, by the same manufacturer, and may buy a different type of car, say a 280zx, 300zx, or datsun 510, etc. The car will always need work, and the cycle of spare parts collecting will begin again for the new car, at which point the victim is beyond all hope. Quick before its too late, send all your spare parts to me :classic:

$500? that must be parts and labour ($100 parts $400 labour) If you feel like doing the labour yourself: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170079858690

Well reading the advert all the way through, it become clear that the starting price is how much all the new parts that are included in the auction cost her. So the auction is actually for $1800 worth of parts, and you get a free rust bucket to carry them all home in

If you got molds made of the front end of the standard windscreen version and made reproductions, I think they would sell. I dont think people would want to go to all the trouble of the custom windscreen version, but a prima-z nose/hood you could bolt onto a S30 without too much trouble, there might be a market for it.

Deadbeat bidder.

Sounds like you need to balance them. Try reading this: http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11755 or this http://www.teglerizer.com/sucarbs/techtip6.htm

Thats really coming together. I might have to do something about getting mine finished.

Move to Tasmania

You should be able to use the strut from the 2+2 on the 240z. I'd swap the springs from the 240 onto the 260 strut. They should fit. Springs should be the same diameter, so the spring perch should be the same, from what I can remember. The only difference I know of it that the 260Z use a bigger diameter tube.

Heres another one. This is north of Melbourne. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330085777077

Hey I'm not George Lucas - I didn't write that crappy line! and it was 12 parsecs, guess he was only doing .5 past light speed.

Didnt he make the kessel run in less than 5 parsecs?
