FILMS "Road test in the U.S. & CANADA Oct-Dec 1969"
Kats as everyone else said thank you that was really good to see. Brand new 240z's those journalists must have been having fun. It was also good to see some other old Datsuns and what looked like was a 510 wagon at the fuel station.

Mikuni vs. SK vs. ???
Yeah Mikuni only have 50mm carbs these days but I am told they are the best for the same reasons Curtis said they stay in tune for ages. I've also been told that internally the parts are better quality than what webers use.

I've booked a room and I'll pay for entry shortly gotta try get some cash together. So I definately wanna be there and I'll find the money somehow :classic: . Should be really good to meet some of you guys.

Os Giken TG24-B1 heads
Thanks guys now for the last few days all I can think about is an LY or TCB-24 engine head on my L28 . What i found interesting is that Yasuhiro Akamatsu's car is only what appears to be an L26 bored out to L28 spec. Imagine this set up with the 3.1ltr w00t The imagine what the twin cam 24 valve could do with two turbo chargers ok I am dreaming but Alan T did have a pic of such a set up. One could only dream but then again one should just buy an RB26

What does the original battery look like?
Hey Alfa i basically finished mine but wasn't happy with the way it looked. The paint job on the shell could have been better. However the thing that annoyed me most was the window frames should have been chrome they are not they are color coated for some reason. I would also like to buy a mini set of Watanabe's for it I don't like the original hub caps and i need to paint the centre's red.

Z store in OZ?
If your asking about one like what's in the USA www.zcarparts.com motorsport auto then unfortuantely no. However there is one being built an online one and it might not be ready yet. www.zspares.com.au however i just tried it and it's not working. There are a few wrecker yards spread around the place but generally they don't sell new parts unless you order through them and they just order through somewhere else anyway.

Idle too fast
I have not had many experiences with L-series injection setups however I've heard a few people say that their o2 sensors have caused this sort of thing before. However I wouldn't recommend going out and buying one to fix the problem. From my experience it is better to find what's causing the problem and replace that than guess and replace all sorts of other items.

No bumpers?
I've never been hassled without my rear bar on my 240z. I am tempted to put it back on but I asked pparaska about his treatment on his Z. Yes that was me recently . I think what he's done is by far one of the best ideas. I actually tried this out on my 2+2 once but didn't have the right tools to make it look right.

First layer
Oh well this makes a huge difference I didn't like what is was going to look like but this should look very trick very retro. You have to put the vinyl stripe along the bottom that says 240z. I wanna do that with my Z a white stripe but i think a black on the green would be awesome.

Yeah the Z on the left is my fabulous Z and the silver one is a resto job a guy named Kuan is doing. Of course Sulio's is the one with the new wheel setup and I was there to see him get all excited about it

Old Nissan Cedric
Anyone seen the Australian film the big steal? The guys folks own a Cedric and then they buy a new car and give him the Cedric however he wants a Jag and trades it in. The parents loved the cedric and are very upset and try to get it back. FWIW I don't care much for the cedric myself.

Ever drive/own a 300ZX Turbo?
I don't think the RB stands for anything there are a number of thoughts as to what it could stand for but no definitive answer.

Ever drive/own a 300ZX Turbo?
I think the Z32 is a far better car than the Z31. I know lots of people with many electrical gremlins in the Z31's. I'd say you'd be spending alot of money on your DD if you chose anyone of these cars. The Z32 is a reliable car but have you seen the cost of some parts especially if you go genuine nissan. I guess it all depends on your budget sometimes I wonder how i can afford to drive my S30 and I would consider them to be a very good car in terms of maintainability and cost of doing so. Another words I don't have much $$$ to my name to support a second car or DD so it all depends. Of course and I'm sure you would know this a Turbo model is gonna require a bit more care and blown turbo's can cost a bit of money.
