That looks amazing Baron. Awesome.

The headlight thing will polish out.

Whereabouts are you based?

The headlight is a bit odd, but I am confident it is nothing serious - more detailed pictures are expected tomorrow....... not too worried considering the provenance of the vehicle.

Will be based in Melbourne eventually.

Andreas, congratulations on your purchase. That is a rare find.

I know when I bought mine Steve at JJ said to buy it (advertised privately) because for him to get me one I would have to take what he could get, be it a $15k POS or $30k stunner. That was 3+ years ago now.. I still can't find words to describe how jealous I am of the latest edition either..

Rare enough that I thought we'd never find anything similar after we got Cherry Racer's car. This is once in 2 years-type.

I am eternally grateful ;-)

Holy crap! That's awesome.

We need to find you some nice mats Baron.

Are there reflectors on the rear edge of the doors? Were they an accessory?

Love the wind deflectors still in place.

I wonder what the following items are:

- object top left of dash, near left a-pillar

- object in passenger footwell

- recangular object to left of steering wheel

So cool! Sweeeeet car!

Absolutely beautiful!

Can someone tell me what the sticker is on the radiator fan shroud with the blue circle/dot?

Mine previously had it but no longer. Trying to track one down.

If we can get a close up, might be able to decipher. AC refrigerant label/type?

no idea on that yet - I believe from some of my japanese collegues at work that it could be some type of 'e-tag' tolling thingy......

- object in passenger footwell

that's a bin (yup - odd I know ;-)

- recangular object to left of steering wheel

- thats the connector of a cable dangling out of the centre vent - apparently connected to whatever was sitting on a mount on the centre dash - see attached picture for opposite side view. will be a pain to get rid of the mount I fear - depending on glue.....)

any ideas on where to find one would be apopreciated.... :-0

I would be trying to track down an original radio too Baron.
Very nice.

Mine has marks from similar aerials on the rear screen and from something having been glued to the dash in a similar place (but slightly different shape of "foot print") which was all part of an ancient and massive GPS system, the dash mount was for the screen, the aerials were for TV, the object on the dash might be GPS antenna. Mine still had the screen in the glovebox, but it was confused as all hell by being in Aus.. The mark on my dash is pretty hard to see where they took the mount off, it does however literally look like a boot mark, and raised a few questions when I first looked at the car..

Well the auction sheet apparently mentioned a similar navigation system so it'll be interesting to find out exactly. Maybe my screen is still in the glove box too....

    • Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
    • Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds
    • Assuming that they will come off without damage at all.... i would have thought just pull straight up off the spindle with a something or other than can reach underneath. Have you searched for youtube vids of people doing similar on R34s or any other Nissan from the same vintage? They should be the same technique, in all likelihhood.
    • Keeping in mind that sandblasting is really aggressive on softer metals like cast alloy, and you can do damage that you might regret. For trash wheels, not a problem. For wheels with value/scarcity issues, etc.... perhaps a less aggressive media is a better choice?
