the unrestored engine

I also visited Kevin at his workplace. We came specially to see the works car. At that time the car was totally striped. But Kevin showed us everything in detail. The original tyres, rims, mud flaps, engine with the three mikuni’s, etc.etc. It was a lovely afternoon and very educating

Love the Irish!! Saddam Hussein was sitting in his office wondering whom to invade next when his telephone rang. "Hallo! Mr. Hussein," a heavily accented voice said. "This is Paddy O'Hara up in County Cavan, Ireland. I am ringing to inform you that we are officially declaring war on you!" "Well, Paddy," Saddam replied, "this is indeed important news! Tell me, how big is your army?" "At this moment in time," said Paddy after a moment's calculation, "there is myself, my cousin Sean, my next-door neighbor Gerry, and the entire dominoes team from the pub -- that makes eight!" Saddam sighed. "I must tell you, Paddy, that I have a million men in my army waiting to move on my command." "Begorrah!" said Paddy. "I'll have to ring you back!" Sure enough, the next day Paddy rang back. "Right, Mr. Hussein, the war is still on! We have managed to acquire some equipment!" "And what equipment would that be, Paddy?" Saddam asked. "Well, we have two combine harvesters, a bulldozer and Murphy's tractor from the farm." Once more Saddam sighed. "I must tell you, Paddy, that I have sixteen thousand tanks, fourteen thousand armoured personnel carriers, and my army has increased to two million men since we last spoke." "... hell!" said Paddy. "I'll have to ring you back!" Sure enough, Paddy called again the next day. "Right, Mr. Hussein, I am sorry to tell you that we have had to call off the war." "I'm sorry to hear that," said Saddam. "Why the sudden change of heart?" "Well," said Paddy, "We've had a look at the Geneva Convention, all had a chat, and there's no way we can feed two million prisoners." ROFLLOL

The Iraqi Security Chief summons all 200 of Saddam Hussein's look alikes and says, "I have good news and bad news. The good news is, Saddam Hussein has survived the US air strike. The bad news is, he lost an arm."

Hi guys, Long time no see. I just ran into a nice website if the SOUTHERN CROSS RALLY itself. This is their URL: www.southerncrossrally.com They got a nice site with old pictures regrettably not the 240’s but never the less great to look in. What they do have is a poster of the reunion and at that poster there’s a 240Z printed on!! They even go further read the following. SOUTHERN CROSS RALLY Eligibility Overview The Southern Cross International Rally was held from 1966 through to 1980. In keeping with the era of the original rallies, the competition vehicles of that period will feature in the 2003 Southern Cross Rally program of historic road events. What cars can take part? The spirit of historic motor sport aims to preserve the specifications of historic vehicles according to their period of competition. For a vehicle to be eligible to compete in the Southern Cross Rally historic road events, it will satisfy the following basic conditions of entry:- • Vehicle model in production on, or prior to, 31/12/1980; • Modifications comply to specifications, as listed on, or prior to, 31/12/1980; • It is not a four-wheel drive vehicle; • It is not supercharged or turbo-charged (Note: The injection of fuel under pressure is not considered to be supercharging.); • It is registered and covered by CTP insurance valid in NSW. Which cars will be the authentic competition vehicles of the period? Production specifications and modifications that will be allowed, according to the era of the original rallies, can be tracked through the following avenues: 1. Vehicle homologation forms and additional variations each of which were listed and numbered by the FIA no later than 31/12/1980; or 2. Manufacturer's specifications, including sales brochures, manufacturer's handbook, manufacturer's workshop manual, manufacturer's spare parts list, all of which must have been first published no later than 31/12/1980 and do not conflict with any original homologation form; or 3. Cars with an accepted individual competition history in the Southern Cross International Rallies or other international events of the same era, and have remained within the specifications and modifications of the period no later than 31/12/1980; or 4. Documented evidence produced in the period, and from at least two acceptable sources, that a manufacturer's specifications were varied for an entrant in an international event that was conducted no later than 31/12/1980. How were the historic cars classified? The vehicles that were recognised by the FIA for international competition purposes of the period up to 31/12/1980 were classified according to minimum production numbers in 12 consecutive months: Group 1 (Series-Production Touring Cars: recognised production 5000 units) Group 2 (Touring Cars: 1000 units) . basically Group 1 with accepted modifications Group 3 (Series-Production Grand Touring Cars: 1000 units) Group 4 (Grand Touring Cars: 400 units) . basically Group 3 with accepted modifications Group 5 (Special Production Cars deriving from Groups 1 to 4) NOTE: Group 5 is not a recognised classification for FIA Appendix K (Historic) events. There are vehicles that were not homologated by the manufacturers during their time of production; they, too, are a significant part of the history of motor sport competition. For vehicles that were not issued with homologation papers, the manufacturer's specifications of the period will be the point of reference to determine the authenticity of that vehicle. Vehicle specifications references Historic competition vehicles in the Southern Cross Rally programs will be prepared to the specifications as they stood in 1980 and beforehand. 1.. For the FIA recognised Groups 1, 2, 3 or 4 vehicles, refer to the manufacturer's homologation for the particular Group; or 2.. Where there were no homologation papers issued, refer to the manufacturer's specifications In a similar manner, any modifications and/or parts fitted to these historic competition vehicles in the Southern Cross Rally programs will be according to what were acceptable and available in 1980 and beforehand, 1.. For the FIA recognised Groups 1, 2, 3 or 4 vehicles, refer to the manufacturer's homologation for the particular Group; or 2.. Where there were no homologation papers issued, refer to the manufacturer's specifications. Interim Conversion Schedule Many of today's competitors have expressed interest in the historic rallies that are part of the 2003 Southern Cross Rally program. However there are vehicle modifications that are used often in Australia and are not aligned to FIA regulations. FIA Historic Vehicles comply with the FIA-recognised Groups 1, 2, 3 and 4 or the manufacturers' specifications, and the modifications as they were, according to the era. FIA-recognised Group 5 vehicles were accepted for competition in the Southern Cross International Rally for a limited number of years. Because of this precedent, vehicles that can satisfy the Group 5 classification, of the period up to and including 31/12/1980 (but not beyond this period), will be permitted to enter the 2003 Southern Cross Rally program of events. The classification as defined in the Appendix J to the 1980 International Sporting Code will be permitted during the conduct of the 2003 Southern Cross Rally program of events. This is a temporary measure only, and will not extend beyond the 2003 program. It is designed to provide several opportunities for today's rally competitors:- 1. to gain first-hand an understanding of historic rallying by participating in the 2003 Southern Cross Rally program of historic events, and 2. to use their current competition vehicle if:- a. the vehicle satisfies the basic conditions of entry; and b. the vehicle complies with the FIA recognised Group 5 of the period up to and including 31/12/1980; and c. the modifications used are those as were permitted and available up to and including 31/12/1980. Once competitors have actually experienced what historic events are about, they will be better informed to make the decision whether they stay with the moderns, or prepare their vehicles along the lines of international historic requirements. An information pack has been prepared, in which are included the extracts pertaining to Group 5 vehicles from the Appendix J of the International Sporting Code for 1980 and other information, if required. For further details, contact the Southern Cross Rally office. PLEASE NOTE: First and foremost, all vehicles entering the 2003 Southern Cross Rally must be registered by an appropriate civil authority and approved for road use within NSW, and be covered by a Third Party Insurance policy valid for NSW.

correct but to make to story complete the S12 is for NON vented rotors and the S12W is for Vented rotors have a nice day

sean, shall I try to buy them in Holland for you?? I've got Hella's on my Z as well.

Sean, I assume it will be 2005. As always we have every 5 year a big meeting. So I can’t imagine why we will not do it this time. But it will be hard to hire the Zandvoort circuit. Last time it costs about 16000 Dutch gilders (8000 euro), of course Nissan helped a lot but probably we have a look at the TT circuit Assen. Less expensive

What I used was a satin black! Do not use mat black, because you will see every thing on it, it’s like a school board. If you visit the Ypres site you will see the differences between the bonnets. http://www.z-point.nl/ypresrally/240z.htm Tony Fall's car has a ‘shiny’ bonnet, very ugly compared with mine.

Dear mister Sean, How very nice to meat to you. I’ve heard a so much good things about you!!ROFLLOL As a fellow European I like to strongly advice you to include a track day because lots of people like to ‘race’ with there Z’s. Ok now for real. How are you doing? Every thing alright deep down in France? I fully support your idea, now I’ve my car ready. I also made a notice in our magazine of September about the dates of your meeting in France and Billing.. I’ll talk to later. I’m working on my lights:stupid:

I updated the Ypres rally page again with new pictures link below

Did it already. One of our members had 6 carbs from a GPX 750 bike on his engine. He wrote in 1999! in our magazine "he had trouble with backfire at 3000rpm.He tried big and smaller needles but at that time nothing worked” end of story. You want me to check this up? your are lucky I saved all pictures from our magazines
