Merlin, I didn't say top quality resto :) It's a figure that I have in mind that I am comfortable with at this stage, especially as I will be doing the majority of wrenching myself. Panel and paint will be outsourced, but it's a project, so will expect the costs to be higher if I bother to total the...

I too couldn't get over the RHD vs LHD. In the end I bought the Fairlady Z rolling shell with some replacement panels for $7000 with the vision to basically do a full rotisserie resto-mod. I'm not expecting much change out of $60k to be perfectly honest. I just wanted a Z so bad after 4-5 years of t...

Read the article as soon it hit Speedhunters

Great stuff

Just curious, are these meetings are held on Skype or by some other online tool?

Would like to learn a bit more about the club and hopefully become a more active member

So what are the plans for the car?

Yep, Kingsley said he had sold the car and I noted your introduction below

Thanks for the information so far :) It seems like this Z is a bit of a mix and match thus far. Guess when I go through the parts in the boot, more will be revealed. Karl - looking to use a RB25DET instead of an L series. In the back of my mind, I've always envisioned an RB powering a Z as a natural...

So after hitching the trailer on to my car, I made my way over to the storage facility after spending some time navigating out of Richie's front gate (think 20-30mm free either side of the trailer..) The facility is a private workshop with a range of tools and a hoist! As soon as we got the Z in to ...

Yay - a mostly complete rear corner to replace that rusted out area http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h32/Dee_Cee23/Fairlady/deecee_z_0040.jpg Genuine Z badges :D http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h32/Dee_Cee23/Fairlady/deecee_z_0041.jpg And some replacement side indicators http://i60.photobucket.co...

The dog legs are gone, and there is rust damage on the inner sills which will need to be repaired. http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h32/Dee_Cee23/Fairlady/deecee_z_0019.jpg Nice to see majority of parts strewn around in the cabin lol. I think the chrome trim is for the front and rear glass. Of note...

30-Nov-2015 So it was time to inspect the car after work as we had left the car on the trailer the night before at the back of Richie's house. Funnily enough, when I arrived at Richie's house, his neighbour was peering over the fence checking out the car. As it turns out, Richie had told him about ...

Hi all, I'm David and I am now the owner of the S31 Fairlady Z project which was advertised on Trademe recently: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=979689256 I joined the forum a number of years ago as I have been interested in the S30 chassis for a long time now, and while other opport...

Hey Dave, you'll need to have Nick take his car home so you can work on the 240 instead :D Hey Jeremy, I'm hoping to get his car back to him before Christmas and take my cars back from his place! I need to finish welding the seat frames, which are nearly done, and then move quickly on to the drives...
