Spartan Warrior Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 Hi just joined, run an original 260 ZX in Darwin! Quote
reverendzed Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 Hey Spartan warrior....welcome, hope you are enjoying your Zed, however might be good to clarify either you are running a 260z or a 280zx both are Datsun or Nissan but quite different in species! let us know. Quote
Spartan Warrior Posted November 28, 2007 Author Posted November 28, 2007 Thank you, 260 ZX 2 plus 2 all original, well looked after car and running well in the NT heat! Quote
gilltech Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 Welcome, but what the reverendzed meant is that the car is either a 260Z, or 280ZX, there's no 260"ZX". Either could be a 2+2 model as opposed to a 2-seater. What year is it? Any interesting history? It's nice to have an original spec car that hasn't been mucked about or bodged up. Glad you're enjoying it; they're real fun cars with a worldwide network of enthusiasts, as you'll see from this forum. Quote
Spartan Warrior Posted November 29, 2007 Author Posted November 29, 2007 gilltech, thank you 260 Z, running well, no mods, completely original down to the key ring and documentation, full service history, interior beginning to age and I think that the suspension will need some attention as the next job, I see a couple of 260's running around in Darwin, 2 silver and 1 nice balck car to date!

sco_aus Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 Is the silver one with the orange stripes still up there? The guy seems like a tool, but the car was nice and he was talking of a RB25DET conversion. Mind you he was army too and probly has since been posted out. Quote
Spartan Warrior Posted November 29, 2007 Author Posted November 29, 2007 sco_aus I am army too! not seen the car here, one of the silver ones has a huge hole in the bonnet and something sticking out of it! The black one looks really nice and there was a very sorry looking 280 for sale along the highway recently Quote

sco_aus Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 No kidding? Have you got the Abrams up that end yet? I was leaving from the School when they rocked up there. Got to play in them overseas too, pretty cool. Good luck with the car. Quote
Spartan Warrior Posted November 29, 2007 Author Posted November 29, 2007 sco-aus tank in and running well, looked at your car online, mine is running well, yours? Quote
sco_aus Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 Not at all Im slowly getting it back together, but leep hitting big snags, like missing parts etc. Thats the problem with rebuilding an engine over the course of a year Quote
