I watched the scene a couple of times couldn't really see it I know there was an extended version of it in the deleted scenes but couldn't find that either oh well.

You must like this one alot Alan. What number was this one? Also was it around the 400 mark for 432's in general or 432R's? What I'm asking is in total how many of the 432 variant with the S20 powered engine were actually released? -
Still nice all the same the wheels really work I think they wouldn't in polished form it's just as well there darker. Can you enlighten me on the difference in indicator color Alan? Is the clear one on an earlier car? I know that my 72 carries clear turn signals at the front but my old 73 had a division of orange and clear. -
Z kid i wasn't impressed with the weld job on this side of the car. It's just a bit rough maybe im harsh but if I had that machine I can assure you I would have made sure it was a little tidier still each to their own. -
I think whats more odd is the silver bottom half and flares. -
Can't believe no one commented this is magnificent -
NOw that is awesome please tell me you have a few shots of this one? -
You are not seeing things it's a 432 spec fairlady Z meaning it has an S20 engine. 4 valves per cylinder, 3 Carbuerattors, 2 Camshafts. and it was 2.0 litre 6 cylinder also. -
Almost perfect just needs to have the bottom section of it's Gnose re done in black/grey. -
You don't see all that many red ones around either I really like the red ones with polished wantanabe's it's my favorite look for a ZG. -
I've always loved shiny wheels personally, I've very much enjoyed these photo's once again thanks Alan.

what a handsome pair -
I thought same thing Will I think it's also an E-Type I have all 3 on DVD so if someone can point out exactly where I'll have a look . I like the Jeans with the crashed Datto I want a set . Funny how so many Australian's have a stigma against the old Datto's???? Funnier still is the fuss they kicked up at Bathurst when the Skyline GTR's won. Too many Meat heads who like v8's.

Unfortunately I don't have the rest of the article George. .

Not sure if these answer your question I will try take a photo of the british ones not on this car or any car at the moment for you later.
-
At the moment I think a picture is a 1000 words as im in a hurry and will disect what you just wrote later bruce. Here is a shot of my engine don't know if that help much. I had a set of British SU carbs on one of my z's I will take a photo of them to show you I don't know much about em' just they were not as good for tuning and seemed to not stay in good tune.

Great Advice Lance, infact the very words i live by if I can't afford it don't buy it till I can. No loans . Not jumping on Lance's bandwagon just think he has good advice but i also don't know your financial situation either so.... Anyway I guess 1 reason I like the Z so much is I can afford it. Well sorta and if I can't I just don't drive it for a while. :cheeky:

I was under the impression that the eariler ones were 3 screw and later ones were 4 screw? Also ClutchDust if your carbs were replaced by the British SU's then they are a slightly different carb as Bruce stated and from what I've read from the Ztherapy website they were not as good quality. Personally I'd love to order a set of SU's from Ztherapy but after converting to AUD$ it's not worthwhile I'm better off buying the video only and say the SM needles then trying to build my own Ztherapy set in Australia.

I would not use synthetic oil as it will act as a detergent as Abas said and will bring all the muck from the block that has been baked on over the last 20 odd years and could clog up the oil ways. The oil going black will most likely be that the inside of the engine is dirty from the years and causing it to go black again. I wouldn't worry about it too much it's quite normal for an old engine to do this even changing the oil filter and flushing out the oil will probably not eliminate this. You can remove the sump and get every remainder of oil out as this helps to dilute the new oil and make it go black quicker. BUt honestly it's not worth it. Wait till she needs a rebuild and then go on Synthetic from there the inside of it will stay cleaner then. :cheeky:

just polish the valve cover for a full 10 -
Just as a side note don't throw it out, 1 thing I've learnt never throw anything away just incase. It could turn out not to be the cause but from what Brett is saying 40 degree days could also not help. Although I've had my Z run fine on hot 40 degree days in summer I remember coming back from Rosebud down here and it was something like 45 degree's and going along the highway the wind was so hot with the windows down and all.
