Saw your 240z at St Martins garage last week. Looks a beauty. You should be very happy. Thanks for the compliment. The car came back to me on the 16th of December but the gearbox was still not right. Daryn at the garage said bring it back and we'll get it sorted FOC. Top troops down there, I can te...

I've just finished an eBay purchase that took over a month to complete due to the items being delayed in transit. The upshot is that of the four hubcaps I bought one wasn't in too good a shape so I contacted the seller. He totally accepted my point of view and his opening offer was a $150 USD refund...

That's an interesting link, thank's for posting.... I sometimes wonder if there isn't just a very, very, small percentage of the people on the planet, maybe .000001 of a percent, who are interested in this sort of thing, like you and I am . It's very esoteric, like the Kawasaki Z1 motorcycle forums ...

Nice ride..!

I only saved the one image of the car thinking I could go back later for the rest. Wrong. The car looks as if it's been sold quickly. Let's hope the new owner joins the forum or is a forum member so we can find out some more about the car etc. Someone said to me once that Southland was a wealthy are...

This is possibly the best, absolute best low mileage series 1 240Z in New Zealand. It has answered two questions for me. Did they come into the country with D hubcaps? Yes. Are the satin black bullet rear vision mirrors on the guards factory and or original fitment, a strong to probable Yes. It must...

No way Axe, she was built to be given "the fang" so that's what she'll get!

I have had the car back since Friday the 16th of December. A big thanks to James and Daryn at St Martins Garage in Christchurch who both really know their Zed's. Also a big thumbs up to James on the forum here who put me on to the guys at St Martins and also the guys who offered technical advice and...

You're restricted to 40kph in a straight line, 2nd gear only. No faster!

The job's nearly done now. Just waiting for the Kumho's to arrive for fitting, a wheel alignment and road test and she's all back to me. Hopefully.

One of the forums www.jdm-car-parts.com recommended acrylic clear so I ran with it and the job came out not too bad, overall.
This is coat number one. I followed up with three more with a light rub down with oil free 000 grade steel wool in between.

Then I bought these colours but they were hopeless really. And just about every picture of a Z1 steering wheel on a Zed car is the same, poo brown.

I cleaned the rim by soaking it in hot water then using very fine grade wet and dry sandpaper followed up by 000 grade oil free steel wool
