fkn oath.

Im livid man.3 of my cars are in this status.

Arent they meant to at least warn a fucker before they drop a bomb like this?

Gunna be alot of people,for lack of a better term,dirty.

Was just told now that if your cars wof expires whilst on rego hold,you have to go through VTNZ for a re-wof,to the tune of $150???

WHAT THE FUCK?

Is that a LVC?

I dunno.

Might have to ring the cunts up,thats bullshit.Supposedly cause heaps of peeps drive their car while on hold....

Rant over.

Anyone else heard of this sodomy?

nothing to be used with the skin bro.Just cut with fine paper,then polish on a lowish speed with the buff to avoid cut throughs,then wipe/wash all the compound off the car,chamois dry,then use the skin till you see no swirls,then hand glaze,then wax bro.

You cant fail,just have patience man.

after cut and polish,the sheepskin is to get rid of the swirls,but needs to be on hi speed and do smallish areas at once,like a foot square.after the skin,use 3M hand glaze to finish it off,its FUCKIN magic stuff,will sometimes hide cut-throughs on a clear coat.

get me a fuckin translator so i can read yahoo japan properly

not that car,but the same model,just an auto.

Was just wondering if I should grab it off this guy.................for fuck all apparently.

He was told it needs a temp sensor installed on his alt,lol....yep..not tooooo clued up eh.

Hi lads.

I know a guy selling a 84 Corona GT-TR sedan with the 1800 donk in it,done 120km,mint nana wagon.

Are these things rare?Are they worth much?

Ive never seen one,even when we were importing cars in the late 80's.........closest thing ive seen to it is a canary yellow carina GT 2dr many years ago.

Just wondering if its worth buying and moving it on?

Cheers

where is AK are you?

Hiya Ammul.

Id say its the master man,all it can be areally?

If theres no fluid loss (or evidence of it).....then id go with the master cyl.If its been rebuilt for a second time by the same place..........just go get a second hand one and try that.........sounds like youll have a little more luck that way.

Hope that helps (although I doubt it will)

Hows the GS31 going?

I still have to make it over to show you your old one.............oh......change your name,cause I dont own a rusty 260z anymore,lol.

All the best man.

Jason

The older 1015 cc or 1220's engines make the mean offroder.

id love an XM....quite the scary ride!

A mate of mine used to work at Bishops Citroen in town...had an XM come in....was quick.

young folk...dang im 40 next year,i must be one of the oldest pricks on the site!

But yeah,nissan V8 into the stagea,I was fully impressed eh,looked real clean.

Good family wagon forsure.

think its 800 wide....from memory.Good thick shit though,and you can seperate it into two,sometimes three layers to get into the trycky bits a little easier.

Just sold a couple of my old knives to a guy that came over in a stagea...with a VH i think it was...4.1 straight bolt in job,just driveshaft and tranny mount i think he said had to be fiddled with......and the wiring was a cunt also,he paid for that to be done.

But man,what a nice car,old facelift model,skirts and shit......but the engine looked like it was a factory install,clean,lots of work room,and the sound was.......i'll say.....for me anyways.....quite bonerish.He got a Cima for 1500 hunds and both engine and tranz went in.

Anyone else heard of this swap,and even better,a good reason to go for a alloy V8 instead of a RB26 with garnishings?

I love my oldschool cars,but alike many of us,I have a wife and sprats,so I need (they need for my piece (singular of whats left) mind) a good reliable car,that I wont get sick of driving

Verdict?

fucking man,ill walk down there to buy that muffucker.

Will he take 3 dogs,a cat and body parts for it!Depending on how old he is ofcourse.

Seriously,I want that.

I remember seeing them around when I was around 7-8yrs old,thinking who would name a car a Prince.

What year is it,im thinking its a S57?

Cmon KYteler???

Kick my arse into line

Ill say it again,if its for sale,ill take a trip to see that thing,if I get it running,ill take it.

WHO WANTS TO BUY MY ZED!!!

Mate,its YOUR car,do what you want to do with it.If you had the fucking good taste to pick a ZED,make it YOUR Zed.

They are way understimated these days,with the power to weight ratio of rotangs and SR's and RB's......id still rather have an L series for originality,or and RB if I wanted to inadvertantly wreck the car.

Do you know alot of the S20 engine datsun used in the 432R?

If not,take a stroll down datsun history lane and check that sucker out!!!

A guy in the states made a head for one out of two heads,and it worked.

The site is either hybridz.org or zcar.com..........wealth of info for the few Zed nuts like us.

After taking my bitch out today,I dont want to sell it either,love coming into corners (dead end streets ofcourse) and letting it go sideways in second.......................

I really got to get to a track someday soon.

Im moving to Waiuku next week,so pukekohe is only a sparrows drunken stagger away from me

well it could be an LSD from a subie?

I couldnt tell you so wont go making out I know what im talking about,as I dont.

Could be a LSD for sure.

What ratio is it?

Sounds like you had fun,exactly what the Zed was built for

Definately go L28 forsure,much more fun over 4-5g revs (even though im having trouble getting mine to rev frely over 5g).

I had a play with the orig AFM the other day,wound it up a little,and it only has earlier throttle responce,wasting same amount of gas no doubt

I pulled in the drive in second gear without realising it and dumpd the clutch,it smoked up big real fast.........then I thought ("you meathead,duh,youre still in second after the heinous compression lock pulling up).

I love Zeds man,youre addicted arent you......c'mon...you know you are,lol.

sounds like fun!

Doubt itll be an LSD if he done nothing to the engine,wouldnt warrent putting an LSD in,hard enough to break traction at speed,in anything other than 2nd gear without dunping the clutch at anything over 3500rpm with a 1998cc inline 6.

I can get both wheels going on an un-even road surface with my car,no LSD there........might be worth asking the PO though cant hurt.

IF,and i say IF it has an LSD,the whining may be more than just old oil,bad quality or lack there-of,it may be that the LSD was put into an r200 carrier without checking the manual?

I know bugger all about cars to be brutally honest,just trying to throw what I know out there,may be of use,but again......unless its written in stone..................

bit far away for a colt,but is that a prince in the background??

how much?

Where?

Dregoed?

not a mitsi hater,but these and the starion is the only mitsi id ever own.

I often think why it took so long for another GTO to be built by mitsi!.

I remember years ago seeing an add in a "magazine" for the starion,it said something like "the first japanese production car to reach 250kph!" or something similar.

Nice cars for sure.I saw one on the back of a truck about a month ago...red or bronze I cant remember,but I almost asked the driver at the lights where it was going,bu the I woke up and remembered I was married and fuckin broke!

Keep the pics coming on the build...im thinking of selling my car and getting one of these or a Valiant VH pacer.......of course the GTO would have to be a 6cyl once im done

yep,when theres money involved,they always get the "Boy" to do it.

Ive been in that redhead 'tards position before many years ago....but it was my fault as i had no pride in my work back then.....15yrs old at that.

Im still fuckin steaming on this one eh!

Maybe a few bottles of homebrew will calm me down

He knows how hard I drive when I do drive hard too the cock stain.

I took him to dargaville in my old ZX and had him with his feet on the dash almost crying for mummy through the ruawai straights and corners (fuck I miss them) at over 200kms.....so he shoulda known.

This is the same guy who was meant to bring tools on the same journey to take the cam out of my fairlady Z up there so I could get at the chassis number to cut it out so the new tennants couldnt do dodgy shit with the numbers and have it come back on me.....have a guess what tools he bought!

A 12mm,13mm and 14mm spanner and a fucking grinder!!!

So I just smashed the engine to bits to get access to the number,then smashed it into much so it couldnt be used.

Shoulde known eh...one self administered chop to the jaw for me!

I made the mistake of letting my fucktard brother in law work on my car as i didnt have the time....new bushings throught the whole car......control arms....swap bars front and back,new tie rods...wheel bearings and shit.

SO I went for a drive lastnight (second drive since work was done)and gave it some shit around the dead end streets and it felt a little loose here and there on the corners.So I jacked it up,checked all the bolts and shit,and whatdya know.....axle bolts loose,sway bar bolts FUCKING loose....radius arms,even looserer and the tie rod nylex nuts were just there for looks,as they were too loose to serve a purpose.

The last time I drove it before last night was out to Mt wellie....at 630am on a sunday and had a young lad egg me on in a mr2 (aw11?),so i wound it out to atleast 220-230kph since there was next to no traffic (I know,I know).....if something came loose at that speed,I woulda been roadkill!

Cant wait till he needs some panel work from me (insert really evel fuckin laugh here).

I told him when he was doing it that the wife and kids will be in it from time to time,so use the manual torque specs and that locktite shit gary.......but nah.

My own fault,I shouldnt let idiots work on my car............and neither should you!!!!!!

Rant over (till I find more loose shit that it)

Man I love the way rubber smoke hangs around when theres no wind

$10 a mtr at Nuplex for the matt.

Around $70 for 4L of casting resin with catalyst.

I can get resin for much cheaper from a manufacturer "special finishes" but after payin postage,itd be the same anyways.
