Poll: Should we prevent gallery downloads?
Of course it could be done. You could simply choose an option box and your image that you are uploading is protected(as much as the protection can protect). However I think the problem with that is that it would involve heavy coding and long hours of research and study. I don't think MIke really wants to do this to be honest but I'm not Mike so I better not talk on his behalf.

Datsun B210
In Australia they are called a 120Y coupe and there were not very popular , i agree they are weird looking. They are not my cup of tea. So I'll leave this 1 unrated.

Harmonic Balancer needed in Australia
yeah i noticed Luke welcome aboard. The club isn't even officially registered yet but we will be dealing with that in a short time. Good luck with the pulley.

Harmonic Balancer needed in Australia
Hmmm I might have 1 here but it's the 3 pulley type from a ZX so you can have air conditioning, power steering and alternator but they have the extra rotational mass and I replaced mine with a 240z one when i got the lighter flywheel.

Mr_Carter_s_BRE_replica
Was John Morton's car flared I seem to remember the guards been a bit more pumped out are you going to modify them to suit or leave them as they are? The car looks great btw I'm sure we all wish we had such a nice replica.

This is going to be a mean machine I'm going 3.1ltr most likely not 3.2ltr but who knows I'll check the cost of it when the time comes to make the decision. I'm looking at the websites you posted thanks for that really handy

Z related questions(Australia).
Yeah sorry when i say dangerous it's just the way I view it. If I was flying along and my wheels leave the ground I want them to return as fast as possible that means less weight to force back down. They are fine and I'm sure not that much heavier than standard Z brakes but for now I just wanna tweak the standard ones to get the most from them until I can go with a better upgrade. For me it just wasn't worth going through the hassle of putting the S12's on and finding a disc to suit it by the time they were installed i was gonna be up for around $400 at a guess. For a couple hundred more I can go with Z32 brakes and I figure that they were the better option for me. FWIW i never tested out the Toyota calipers on my car but I drove another Z with them fitted and definately noticed a difference when coming around a bumpy corner the steering felt heavier. I also couldn't believe the difference in weight when i picked up a Z32 caliper compared with the Toyota ones. So maybe dangerous is a bit over the top i mean they certainly will stop you quicker but it's just the way i feel.

Really not sure what discs I'll be running I've just seen the brackets for adapting the calipers to a 240z strut. That's in the future for me so I haven't really concerned myself with it for now. Not sure on 280zx boosters but I've seen S13, S14 etc ones fitted I'm sure they would work well

Well I'll put you all at ease and explain why why why am I doing this. Firstly I think the rear disc conversion is probably useless i just wanted any opinions on it. From the sound of it really only good for "looks". I figured while i was working on the brakes then I may as well do all 4 corners but i will just fix up the drums. As for the cable I'm unsure about that needing to be replaced at the moment but yes it's a horrible job especially near the diff section. Some may remember i bought a set of the 4 spot calipers off the Toyota 4X4's S12W but these are not a good upgrade in my book. They are so damn heavy that the unsprung weight was what i would call dangerous for the sort of driving i want to do. I'll be using 300zx Z32 front calipers instead for anyone curious about the difference you should put the toyota ones in 1 hand and the 300zx ones in the other. However since I'm trying to build a stroker motor and my current brakes need servicing then I wanted to do a cheap upgrade to help the stock brakes work a bit better until I go with a better upgrade. So i was told the old race cars use this set up in classes where they can't do much modification. At the moment I don't do all that much track driving but it is planned for the future I think it's a safe way to really have fun in the car. I also have been enjoying the cruises I've been on in the Z with VicZcar but the brakes definately let her down coming down steep hills yikes they fade bad. That's about it really . -Gav

Sounds good are the LED's better simply because they will last longer? Do you know if it's as simple as changing the bulbs or does it require rewiring?
