Mr Camouflage

Come on Gav, you should know better than to make such casual comments.:classic: Just because you never seen one doesnt mean we never got them. Dont know about the wagon, but the sedans were sold new here, badged as Datsun Bluebirds. I've even seen one driving down the road, and more than a few on ebayin the past, including these 2 on ebay right now. This ones a real one owner grandma car (2 owner if you count the guy it was left to, but you know what I mean): http://cgi.ebay.com.au/CLASSIC-DATSUN-BLUEBIRD-CAR_W0QQitemZ4608383069QQcategoryZ101895QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Starting bid $1500. and this one http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Vintage-1966-Datsun-Bluebird-411_W0QQitemZ4608658392QQcategoryZ102220QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Buy it now price of $450.

They didnt have front ones either. Neither did the Australian delivered 240z. didnt get them untill the 260z

That was your cue to say, "Dont bother, I'll take it somewhere else. Nice not doing business with you."

Buy it for the body. put a L28 in it. or a V8, or a Jeep engine....... I wonder why they pulled the engine in the first place?

Well, I emailed RS-Watanabe and they told me this guy was. They then forwarded my email on to him, and he replied, asking what type and size wheels I was interested in. RS-Watanabe Australian Distributor: Miki Yokohata http://users.tpg.com.au/tpot/

Yeah its a pretty good price. Got a quote back for the wheels that are on SR240Z. Just over AU$2000. Was considering the ebay wheels for my R31 GTS, but the front wheels offset is just too big, according to the Watanabe web site. The might fit, but I'm not taking the risk. They will fit properly on a S13/14 Silvia, but thats about all. Saw these on ebay USA http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ae86-BlackRacing-wheels-not-watanabe-panasports-S13-S14_W0QQitemZ8031244900QQcategoryZ43954QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Not watanabes is says, but they look pretty damn close to me.

Just keep demanding that they fix it. It's the other guys insurance that will have to pay. Do you have insurance? they should be on your side helping you out. Haha, back to the future with you. :classic:

Mineral turps get silicone off, It makes it go soggy and crumbly (if thats a word)) the you can scrape it off with your fingernails, and not damage the stainless trim.

Bugger. Time for a gull wing door conversion eh?

Similar story happend over here. Somone had a unlicenced kingswood shell (might have been a monaro, I dont recall exactly) in their front yard. Dont think it had a motor even. Needed a complete restoration. So somone decided to do a complete restoration, new paint, V8 engine, interior, etc. Problem was they stole the shell from the guys front yard and used the chassis to restore. The cops got suspisious when the restored car was presented for inspection at the licencing center. Dont remember why exactly, I dont think the article said. Maybe the chassis number was covered over. Anyway the cops did some detective work and found that it was the stolen shell, so the newly restored car was returned to the rightfull owner. Not bad eh? Leave a junker in your front yard, get a fully restored car back a year later.

Do wats need special nuts. I remember reading something about it?

You can download the watanabe catalogue from their website. It lists the rims sizes and offsets. What was listed above was for aluminium mags. Heres whats available in the size you have. Aluminiumn A: 14x7.5 it lists them as -3 and +1.5 R: 14x9 : -25 or Magniesium A 14x7.0 +3 and +8 R 14x9 -19

Yeah that first one aint the best looking z spoiler you can get. If you arent using the 280z bumpers, shouldnt you be getting the earlier one though? the 70-74 one?

I have a 4 door. The company could send me a set, and i'll tell them how well they fit, the could call it a market reseach exersise and write it off as for a tax rebate. Of course I get to keep the flares

That offset is way off, wont fit a z at all without wide spacers/adaptors, which I hear are illegal anyway. 0 to -19 is a better offset for a Z, depending on the rim width. -19 if you want to fill out some ZG flares 16 in type R watanabes are available in : inch : offset 8.0 : 0 8.5 : -6 9.0 : -13 9.5 : -19 Is that a good price? I havent heard back from the Australian watanabe distributer yet. What size are your wats Alfa? How much were they?

Can you just move it into the back yard? They they can compalin at all.

That first spoiler is ugly, and that prpbably why they stopped making it. The BRE rear one in nicer, the ZG rear spoiler is probably the one that people want in CF too, along with CF ZG flares. The ZG spoiler is prettymuch identicaly to the BRE one, except it has 2 ridges on the window side of the spoiler. Dont have a pic handy, but i'm sure someone else will post a pic for you.

She'd be safe in a car accident.

I'm told they will extend the guard about 50mm (approx 2 inches)

There shouldn't be, unless somebody had been doing something dodgey,and illegal. But there would have been an S30-00016 (without the 'H' ) in Japan.

Lets add car numbers into the mix, not just dates. See if we can find a switchover number. Car number HS30-00803 Has fender mounted Bullet style mirrors as standard. Pics at http://www.wazcars.com/index.php?action=classifieds&id=2 (its also for sale)

I'd guess the 4 door flares were probalby different, and that they dont have molds for them. I guess the 2 door ones could be modified to fit.

Definetly repairable. Dunno how it works in NZ, but in Aus there are 2 types of a writeoff (well in WA at least, not sure about other states). Basically there is a financial write-off - meaning it will cost more to fix than the car is insured for (usually if its going to cost more than 80% of what the car is insured for, they will write it off). That's the type of write off you want if they aren going to fix it, because you can take the payout, minus the salvage cost of the vechile, which measn you get to keep the car also. They you get it repaired privately. The other type of write off, puts it on the list of cars that can never be re-licenced, never put back on the road, - Thats the kind you dont want.

yeah that link died this link works: http://sgt76.s5.com/

Go with something more JDM. Kent, have you already decided on a colour? because blue dont look too bad. http://sgt76.s5.com/kpgc110/coupe/blue2/1/1.HTM This ones supposed to be green, but looks dark grey on my monitor. http://sgt76.s5.com/kpgc110/coupe/green1/1/1.htm
