Typically ricey is all show no go. Speaking of ricey. I was reading the entry for ricer on wikipedia, and they had listed "Hoon" as the Australianism of "ricer", which it isn't. Hoon is probably the opposite of ricer. A hoon is usually someone with a car thats either had performace work (or has a powerfull engine as stock), or no work at all (eg an old car to thrash). They arent concerend too much with the cars looks at all. Being a hoon is more about doing of illegal stuff like burouts in carparks etc, and has nothing to do with the cars looks. Also have the rest of you aussies noticed the ford and holden utes getting around that are all countryfied with rm williams stickers, truck style bull bars, at least 3 CB aerials, (usally 4, one at each corner) etc...... I have a word for them..........."Wheat"

If you are planning on changing the color of the light in the gauge, you're going to have to pull the gauges out of the car, and open them up to remove the green coloured filter thats in them that colours the white light from the globe to green. otherwise, youd be sending red, or blue light through a green filter = not much light at all, as the green is supposed to only allow green light to pass through it. See attached pic of the coloured filter:

Nooooooooo. Admins, Please delete this thread!

Hmmmmm. Sent him a message asking why he cancelled the auction. You cant trust these new no feedback ebay sellers.

You'd probably have to go to Nissan to get them.

Maybe because he's asking $17,000 for it. Sakijo, You can never have enough Datsuns, but 1 of each will do. I just want 1 K coupe. c'mon guys let me buy it.

"I have gotten into ministry and this car is in the way" Sounds like a song by ministry. Satan build my Datsun. Ah well guys, the stickers were right, were all going to hell in a datsun.

Thanks Lachlan.

Strange, it had ond bid earlier, now it has none. Ah, the person that bid on it canceled their bid, and is now bidding on a fairlady http://cgi.ebay.com.au/datsun-fairlady_W0QQitemZ4612266484QQcategoryZ101895QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Thanks for the offer Lachlan. Is it very far away from you? Would be great if you could take a look at it for me

Cool Nick. How's the SR conversion going? and what are you doing with that 240K?

I want that car!!!!!!

As long as you aren't storing it in the house, I dont see waht she has to complain about. Sounds like you need a shed. Sheds are off limits to females, except when they are bringing you a beer or something to eat. I suppose you could open up the wardrobe and start complaining about all the shoes, or dresses she has as some sort of reverse psychology tactic.

There was an "R" version of the shelby GT350 in 1965. Dont think it was ever badges as a GTR or officially called GTR, but may have been colloquially called GTR to distunguish the Racing version from the GT350 street car version. Ealiest aussie GTR that i'm aware of is the Torana GTR (no, no. not the XU-1)released in october 1969. There was also a Bridgestone GTR motorbike in the mid to late 60's.

Yeah Lachlan. That why I prefer to buy old original, never repainted cars, rather than someones freshly painted project. Spotted another 240K sedan at somones house while out driving in different route than usual. Might find a 2 door one day.....

In Australia "Mate"="Buddy" (not partner, spouse, significant other, etc...). Why do cowboys say "Howdy Partner"? They arent gay too are they?

You cant really compar the cost of a 1972 skyline to the cost of a 1972 240z on American market. One is a common American sold car, the other is a rare import that was not available in that country. Which is why old corvettes and mustang are sold for way more than they are worth in Australia. Why pay $20,000 or more an old mustang, when you can pick up a old falcon of the similar age for around $5000 or less. apples and oranges..... Oh, and theres a GT-X skyline in aus for sale for AU$30,000 (US$22,632 ) http://www.c-red.com.au/stock/kgc10/index.shtml p.s. whats an amphicar? is that some sort of amphibiuos car?

The bullet mirrors in the link above are no good for putting on the fenders of z cars. They are too short, and you dont get a decent view . Thats why the OEM ones are taller. As for the ones Raman posted. They are aftermarket mirrors made in asia. Theres a guy selling them on ebay out of Bangkok. They look ok. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TOYOTA-CELICA-TA22-TA23-LEVIN-TE27-TE21-FENDER-MIRRORS_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33649QQitemZ8030587732QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWD2V He's also got ones that are advertised as z fender mirrors, but arent very good copies, unless they are from a later model Z or ZX. And a ZG flare kit too. Heres a set of genuine toyota fender mirrors. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Toyota-Celica-TA22-TA23-TA28-1971-1972-1972-1973-1975_W0QQitemZ8034559895QQcategoryZ33699QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Not a problem. I'll have your yellow one Seriously If you need the car for parts, then part it out. I'd rather find a straight one. Trucking a damaged car across the country would probably be a waste of money that could otherwise be spent getting my z back on the road. But would like to see how bad the damage is before I make up my mind. Theres another 240K on ebay. This one with a "factory sun roof". (I've given up correcting people on ebay, after the original rare 240Z mags guys comments about time wasting know it alls. Aparently a nsw or victorian datsun club told him they were 240z mags. If you missed the auction, they were 280zx mags.) Anybody see the gold 240K on carsales.com.au ? looks like it had some sort of body kit / skirts with it. link I still kick myself for not leaving a note on one I saw broken down on the side of the road a few years ago.

How do you know it will? Might be bought by someone with a genuine interest in old datsuns/nissans and well cared for.

Theres a 240z on ebay.com.au but you have to search for "datsun 240" to find it. Searching for 240z wont bring it up. Theres a heap of 240/260z on carpoint.com.au too.

Just about any old car that hasnt been hotted up with a nice set of fat mags and a shiney new coat of paint will get called grandma spec. Meh, who cares. doesnt bother me. Thats a nice looking 4 door. Seen one like it before. I read that the 4 door is actually lighter than the coupe because it has the b pillars to strengthen the chassis, and the coupe is pillarless so it has extra strengthening in the chassis to make make up, resulting in more weight. I also read that the 4 door c110 was made second, and that both the 2 and 4 door are exactly the same lenght / wheelbase.

Whats a P50 or a P50A? You mean P90, right?

This one looks like a good one to start with: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Datsun-260z-bronze-coupe-7-76-one-owner-reg-til-10-06_W0QQitemZ4607915960QQcategoryZ102220QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
