D, if you have no joy sourcing one over there, would you freight one from W.A. I know a guy here who has many wrecked 260s'

Anyone know where to source a complete h/brake cable for my 78 coupe? I'm assuming the 4 door and maybe the 240k are the same.Can be new or good second hand.

I'm also interested in doing this, stock ones weigh far too much.

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Nissan New Year.

Forgot to mention the L28 oil pickup point is in a different position. When the L24 forward mounted oil reservoir sump is attached to the L28, it's to short as the L28 has a midway oil reservoir. It's no big hurdle.

Gordie, I'm unable to take a pic right now, my car is with the painter. Found a pic, although not the best

Gordie, I've got the L28 in mine. I have a tube/sleeve welded onto the side of my sump that is partly inserted into the sump. Works fine. Can put up a pic up if you want. You will need to extend the oil pickup to suit the oil basin, also not to hard. As for gearboxes, the 2 mentioned are fine and any Z box will probably work.

Hi D, I'm calling it a 72 because I was told my old cam was a 68 performance cam from nissan and now I have a 72 from Clive cams in the East. Grind No 396 Lift@lobe in 331 ex 331 ADVERTISED TIMING: Duaration: Exhaust open 288 Duration: Inlet opens 280 VALVE TIMING Duration: Exhaust opens 252 Duration: Inlet opens 246 The Dyno run was more about getting the fuel mix/timing right. I really didn't even think about all those other things.Like I said it's not a Dyno shop where they give you a print out, it's a privately owned machine used for someones private collection of cars. Next time, as there will be a next time I'll ask for those figures. As Daryl pointed out , all my HP at the mo only comes from bolt on components and a small amount of match porting on the head, oh and of course it being bored to 3.0ltrs.Next year the head is in for some serious work as there was no problem with clearance with the new cam in place. The head hasn't been skimmed at all, it's still stock pretty much.So comp will be going up. Got to go to work now. Bye

I just kicked myself, I didn't even think about it. I was rushing too much this morn as I had an hour drive and had to be there for 8.30. It would've made a good vid as it took place at a warehousetype building that housed a private collecton of motor racing cars. Whilst most of the work was being performed I was sticky beaking at all the 1915-1930 something race cars. For example one had an 8 ltr 6 cylinder, one had a V8 spitfire engine( the aeroplane) All told there was about 15 pristine vintage racers. The dyno use to belong to the guy who did the tune for me, he sold his business about 7 years ago and the owner of these cars purchased Daryls dyno.The owner of these cars races regularly and has his own mechanic servicing these vehicles as per needed, or when they're about to go racing. They may not have liked the idea of me filming at his residence as it's not your typical dyno shop. Daryl also cut and adjusted all my spark plug leads to make them nice and tidy. Just had to pay the mechanic $50 and all was settled. I was stoked, but as Daryl pointed out , this was all included in the camshaft job which set me back $800. Cam $390, lash pads about $60 and the rest labour which I feel is still very reasonable as it's quality work from a very experienced person.

Wrong paint name. It's actually Bondi Bleach White. Will be finished in time for our annual car show, " Motorvation on Jan 16th

After having a new camshaft fitted last week ( 72 degree grind), today I had it dynoed. This involved a slight timing change and a tickle of the webers. Approx HP @ wheels was 175, give or take a few horsies. He took it up to 185 kph,@ almost 6000rpm and it was still pulling, f-k it was loud, but nice to listen to, that weber roar is a wicked note. Car goes in for painting finally this week. 2 Pac "Bleached White" Chrysler colour apparently. Being an ex Kiwi I may get the number plates "BLEACHED AS", been hinting ti wifey that they'd make a great Chrissy pressie.

Shame you couldn't have come down for the show and shine held here in mandurah last weekend. Would have been nice to see another OLDer Skyline in the mix.

Prefer black D if you've got it

Sorry, hope this helps. My camera was away in Kalgoorlie with my sis inlaw. What do you reckon D, got a spare amoungst your assortment?

Ok D Limo $575.00 will be paid for these items.I've got a buyer for my rear lights so it doesn't seem so bad now. Just need bank details now and we're in business. Ricky

I need a rear view mirror, mines obviously been brittle and it's broken off whilst moving it in a direction it did'nt want to go in. I've bought a stick on one but it wobbles around.

I'd like to move some parts out your garage, THEM TAIL LIGHTS. Can someone buy this car and sell me the tail lights PLEEEEEEASE.

Hope you printed off lots of order forms, there could be high demand for those holders especially as it comes with complimentary Beam ( I assume)?

I've access to an engraving machine. Able to make signs A4 and smaller. If you need something PM me. I've made one up for my car ,you no those signs people put on their cars at shows(keep your f$#@N hands off) and admire only.

That's great news Drew, I was starting to think I should send the postage fee for those seat covers as you might need it to fund the repairs. As for the oil, yeah it'll all burn off, I put loads into my bores while it was in storage, nearly gassed myself on fire up. I've got a new cam going in on Monday, it's a 72 grind will be interesting to see the outcome.

Harvo, you're gonna have to explain this one to me. Not making a connection on this one, a bit to cryptic for me. LOL

Does anyone no of where I can get a front air dam for my C210. Too expensive shippped from Japan due to length. 64000 Yen posted, that's from Kamaeri

TRY TYPING YOUR QUESTION INTO GOOGLE. ONLY 2 NIGHTS AGO i WAS READING ABOUT THIS TOPIC. IT MAY HAVE BEEN HERE IN SAU OR THE Z CAR WEBSITE,BUT THERE'S HEAPS OF INFO OUT THERE.

NICE TO KNOW YOUR THINKING OF US FOREIGNERS DREW. By the way, any idea when you may be posting seat covers? Cheers Ricky
