Just thought i'd post up a picture of my 1984 300c. I'm pretty happy with it so far (had it for 8 months) - and i've only seen 2 -3 others around Melbourne during that time. It runs the vg30e motor with a 4 speed auto. Gets up to 100 around the 10 sec mark, and handles really well too.

Might do some sort of engine conversion later on, or just lower it slightly and give it a fresh paint job.

Hi there,

Nice looking car. Seems to have been looked after very well. I'm sure I'll see you around the traps. Be sure to wave and say hi!

yeah i bought it of a dealer my friend knew who said it was traded in by some old bloke, so i got a pretty good price as they probably took it off his hands for next to nothing :rofl:

Well the car isnt at my house at the moment, partly because there is no space and partly to prevent me driving it :wave: but maybe this summer come around and we'll compare

I'm actually trying to source a motor for it at the moment, as the timing belt pulley bearing broke and i got a new pulley and belt put on it but its had a miss in it since- im thinking maybe a bent valve somewhere..

i got a quote at 660 but that particular wreckers didnt have any in stock. i might ring the one in centre road, see how many kms are on the one u mentioned..

I cant fit spacers, otherwise it starts rubbing the inner guard in the rear. It's pretty tight in there due to it's height. The fronts I'm running 5mm spacers to clear the struts. If I go any bigger, I wont be able to steer the bloody thing!

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
