thehelix112 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) Hey guys, I'm putting my old project car up for sale: http://www.ozdat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=6303 to be honest I'm unclear what I should be asking for the car, but it's a fun car, and when going, it's fast as hell. I'm looking for around $15,000 13,000 for it. It ran a best of 12.83 @ 115MPH on 9psi with a 2.2 60' time (195 street tyres and an open diff). It's currently tuned for 19psi and has a locked diff, so is obviously substantially faster than that. Model: 240z Location: Ballarat, Vic (maybe moved to Melbourne) Price and Payment Conditions: $15000 13,000 Cash in hand or paypal Item Condition: Good Body: Rust, some, more repaired in the past.

I'm still in California until Nov 6th when I'll actually be able to go and check it out. This ad is to try and get an interested party lined up so I can do the transaction and help arrange transportation while I am in the country. Specs from the build: Car: Model: 240Z Year: 1973 Colour: BMW Navy Blue (crows feeted to hell) Front bar: Not standard, and broken on the left side Engine: L28: Block F54, Head P90 Compression: 7.4:1 Cam: Crow #58643 Intake: 212 deg 0.075" dur, 0.480" lift, Exhaust: 210 deg 0.075" dur, 0.495" lift Pistons: Standard Rods: Standard Crank: Standard Displacement: 2753cc (Standard).

Custom simple alu panel with a couple of Autometer gauges. The bad bits: The engine definitely needs a freshen up, and a proper L28ET oil pump. First outing around calder park (see link at the end) when the oil cooler first opened it, coupled with a standard L20B oil pump (previous owner installed) lowered the oil level sufficiently that with semi-slicks I lost oil pressure around turn 1 and ate the bearings. It needs new main bearings, and likely big-end bearings and a general refresh too. The body is not rust-free. Honestly it needs some tender love and care on the body. I don't know the exact condition until I get to the car in November. Thanks for looking, if anyone has read this far, I also have a few other parts I'll be putting up for sale, 2 4.4:1 R200 LSDs, 1 with the axles and CVs still (sale pending), a mint 1600 primered shell (6K in body receipts from bodyz by nick in Ballarat), a 5000Km old S15 SR20DET and 6-speed, 1600 adjustable rear x-member from datsport, and a few other things that I can't remember right now Dave https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BFqmn7IelI Edited November 4, 2015 by thehelix112 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thehelix112 Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 Haha. I'm in no rush. It'll either sell as it is, or I'm coming back in Sep and I'll rebuild the L28 and add $2K to the price. I assure you, anyone that goes for a ride in it will find a way to buy it. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehelix112 Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 Car is sold. Thanks for all the interest guys, and for being an excellent forum during my time with the zed. Dave gav240z 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
