yetchh Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Fingers crossed.. nervous/excited, been a long while since I last did this.. Quote
danger Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 Not a bad fail, perhaps you could carjam another 121 with an MA and print out the report Quote
yetchh Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 Yeah, that's a good point.. who would have the engine numbers? they must be listed somewhere Quote
danger Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 Print these and show to him? Sounds like he's not doubting you so much as just wants some confirmation http://www.carjam.co.nz/car/?plate=ahn532 http://www.carjam.co.nz/car/?plate=iw1666 R100 on here might have more info If you get stuck I can get the guy who's family had the mazda dealership down here for 3 generations to write a letter.

yetchh Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 Hey bro thanks.. I can get a couple of other carjam reports that state ma's as well as Wikipedia, and if I could get a letter from Mazda stating the same he would surely pass me.. Quote
yetchh Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 Think I might be bit fucked.. talked to the main guy at vtnz and said it had to be official from Mazda or a sales brochure showing such information.. rang Mazda nz and the guy wasn't very helpful, all I asked was for a letter from them stating that the 121 was available in nz from 1975 through to 1979 with the option of either the 1.8 or 2.0 and he started getting all official and asking chassis numbers and talking a about research etc.. am I be unreasonable expecting them to just write that? I mean it's nothing to them, as it's all true anyway.. sort of.. Quote
Brdflu Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 I think the guy at Mazda is just being lazy and cant be bothered looking up old vehicles. We supply information like this all the time at my work. 1 Quote
KKtrips Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 Have you got a Hanes manual? Will that show it? Or a brochure like this? Quote
danger Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 Thats for the 1769CC NA motor http://www.lov2xlr8.no/brochures/others2/78_121/78_121.html Quote
Beaver Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 repair cert for underseal? thats a new one.... Quote
yetchh Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 Thats for the 1769CC NA motor http://www.lov2xlr8.no/brochures/others2/78_121/78_121.html Sorry Dane, I have to correct you.. I think you mean 1769 vc, that's also a brochure for a landau.. I think with the underseal he's just being cautious, I mean how many people would try it on having bogged the fuck out of something then pass it of as sweet.. Quote
yetchh Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 Have you got a Hanes manual? Will that show it? Or a brochure like this? I think Haynes manuals for 121s are like hens teeth Quote
danger Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 I always though NA was the 1800, my bad. 1 Quote
KKtrips Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 Put a call out over the OS airwaves for someone who works for a Mazda Parts department. I may be able to go to the Wellington one tomorrow morning and ask there but if someone on the site is already in that position it may be easier. 1 Quote
yetchh Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 Yeah, it maybe the best option.. tho I rang blackwells and they were pretty useless.. just need the right person to answer the phone at Mazda nz.. Quote
kiwi808 Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 Yeah, it maybe the best option.. tho I rang blackwells and they were pretty useless.. just need the right person to answer the phone at Mazda nz.. Email people. I have found in the past if you ring Mazda the person on the phone is generally half the age of the car you are calling about and because they don't won't to sound dumb, they just say they can't help. If you email, eventually it will get passed to the old guy who's been there for ever and knows the cars and info you want. Also emails count as official documents. 1 Quote
yetchh Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 Yeah true, but I only have till Thursday.. I might actually go into Blackwells tomorrow morning and try my luck, as well as ring Mazda nz and hope for someone more accommodating.. Quote
rotor_dude Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 sometimes its best just to go to mazda and ask them or ask them who in mazda you need to speak to its to easy to get passed off on the phone 1 Quote
KKtrips Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 I scratched my head all afternoon and remembered this guy so you could give him a call http://www.carmagreviews.co.nz/default.aspx?Page=106 He is a member off here and his name is Julian. He most probably has a brochure or a magazine that relates to what you need. I think there was someone else on here who had untold brochures from the 70's and 80's but I can't remember his user name. I'll keep thinking. Quote
KKtrips Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 Perhaps this may help http://www.automobile-catalog.com/make/mazda/cosmo_2gen/cosmo_121_landau/1977.html (you have to click on the "go to detailed specs" etc Quote
