Missing engine problem fixed? What was causing the miss?
OK to take parts car tomorrow if you want. I might not be home (will be at work till ~7) but you can get it any time. Has 3 wheels on it so will need another.

Wow! Man that's looking awesome!
I'm really glad that the car has gone to someone so keen on getting it looking real good.
Keep us up to date with the build aye! I'll keep an eye on it from over the ditch!

I thought WOT was a pretty standard acronym... maybe not? Yes it does mean Wide Open Throttle.
Yes the car is sold but I agreed to have a go at fixing the problem before the new owner picked it up. Thought it would be a quick fix... d'oh!!

Hi! Problem with L28e. - Generally runs very well (wheel spins around corners no problem :) ) - Idles very nicely (1500cold / 700 warm and very smooth) - When it's at WOT it will hit the wall at ~4500 rpm - This only happens at full throttle and only at high(ish) rpm - If I take it easy (not foot to...

I had the same thing - failed WOF on chassis rails. They were pretty badly mashed. Got them fixed (replaced about 1 ft length of each rail) plus a couple of other bits (minor rust patches) for $700. Should have done it before going for the WOF, wouldn't have needed panelbeaters cert for it.

I know it got no bids - but it does have 'buyer and seller log in' which probably indicates a fixed price offer.

What did it sell for?

Unless you get one that's been inside its whole life it will probably be rusty - but that is the case with most Japanese cars until about '85 (high-carbon steel). I went to have a look at a couple in Northland before buying my current zed. They had been outside without covers for six months and they...

Off topic but what are the conditions for classic car insurance?

Fiat Multipla wins (loses?) hands down

It was my sister that survived; she and Kish Proctor were swept over the dam along with the seven who died, including Anthony. It's hit real close to home - I also went to Elim and knew several of them, particularly Anthony. Several of Sarah's close friends died, and it has been a very tough week fo...

Learnt to drive in a B310 sunny. Still got it (not on the road at the moment though). Put a lot of hard work and body filler into it!

Emailed you with pics. If u find any other bits missing, that car is going to be parted out so give us a yell.

Hi, if it's a 280zx I have a 2+2 quarter window for it you can have. Also a bonnet but it needs some work and it's prob. not worth shipping to Palmy. Will post some pics soon.
