Re: Quarter Mile Showdown, 11 Feb 2024

Wave in the direction of Needle Point Reserve just past Northcote Point, when you're travelling north in the outside lane on the harbour bridge. You may not see my car beside the garage, plugged into homegrown, off peak, 12c a kWh goodness (for litre lovers that's 30cents a litre equivalent), but no...

Re: Quarter Mile Showdown, 11 Feb 2024

Thanks to the organisers and helpers, well done guys and girls, Blew my fuel budget for the week, used $12.87 to travel from Northshore, do a few runs and back home again.....I guess that's the cost of motorsport. 8)

Re: Any recent history ownership on this car?

Looked at this car today, Its on consignment from the owner. I think the asking may need to be re assessed and the owners expectations adjusted. Restoration is old and needs a thorough refresh. 3 out of 5

Later model 260Z 2 seater, S30 and S31 door window frames

$20 the pair, will freight if required. These are to fit the later model 2 seater S30 and S31 cars only with the monster side intrusion beams and claw catches. Top rubber is knackered on both but glass rubbers are ok. Pickup Opaheke, South Auckland or Narrow Neck, North Shore. Will ship no problem.....

Look who's driving a Z

I was of course watching this movie as a historical record and for no other reason but Seth Rogans' character is driving a Zed in Pam and Tommy possibly a 280?

Pre-owned in NZ, unfitted but cut for screen shape, came with carbon console. Located on the Z Club classifieds via WTB. Still not even half way through fitment, it's fairly labour intensive but when finished will be designed for quick removal and refit

240ZED 3rd evolution

Car has been off the road for sometime since sponsor retirement so I haven't been all that driven to get it back in competition mode. Volunteering in Tarmac rally events and watching others is providing enough drive to get 240ZED back into shape so here begins some occasional posts as I work my way ...

Re: 280z value guide

But from what I read, a standard import 280z would not meet NZTA criteria to remain a LHD = adding that to the 'to do' list is probably stretching my budget and definitely my skills! You can import a LHD 280z as a special interest vehicle https://www.nzta.govt.nz/vehicles/importing-a-vehicle/except...

Steel bonnet off NZ new car with bonnet catch. Off rally car so vent cut on inlet exhaust side to position/shape and size of Nissan/Datsun bonnet vents for the same model.

Yes agreed totally, we gotta lotta racing done with cable ties, race tape, poor panel fit and "prototype" wiring. Ever since deciding to make the vehicle presentable it's sat in the shed!
