Mat_Drinks posted:You could also add that middle screen (altimeter/temp/etc) from the 2.5RS of this gen for extra cool points I have one of those! Its a little beaten up from the rollover, but still works. I never got the temp sensor though, but I bet the stock IAT unit has the same resistance curve.

Nah, the majority of 70s Z-cars look like that unless they've been stored in the desert or something. They rust like a sumbitch pretty much anywhere there is even a little bit of moisture.

I hope that was basically free, because I've been offered cars that only needed maybe 20-30 hours of bodywork for $1k. Actually, let me show you a Z31 that was free.

I bought a 1985 300ZX for $400 that had just about as much rust and traded it for the 1976 280z a few weeks later. I just noticed the floor in your picture, mine is not that bad.

We were wondering at work the other day- Do you think theres any R32/33/34's that are still stock and not had the absolute arse flogged out of them? Cos we're pretty convinced there isnt a single one left in Australia that isnt!

I see them all the time, but they come from Japan. They usually have a boost gauge or after market wheels though.

Cos we're pretty convinced there isnt a single one left in Australia that isnt! the day it became legal in canada to import r34s b-pro had a minty fresh one with 59k kms and no aftermarket parts other than wheels and a center console. They got 40,000 for it. Also is that kouki a shop advertisement or did the customer want stickers on it.

It's a customer's car that's a bit of a boomerang. It comes in every couple months for something new to be added to it.

Nah they're on eBay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Front-L...d54618e&vxp=mtr Not very expensive, but I am trying to get an idea of everything that needs replacing while I have it broken down.

That car is pretty awesome and I want to see something different on it. Though I admit that I don't know what exactly. Sorry to hear about the Merc... And it was going so well!!
