Not bad but looks a little aged and no mention of it being rebuilt so price is high I think.

Needs more twin cam head.. 

 

For a drop in package, it seems incredible cheap to me.

 

I'd only look at it from the perspective of doing an LY replica myself.

The RB30 engines are fairly widely disliked though from what I've seen - aside from the Commodore Turbo folks the people I've seen seriously using them are only using the bare bare block and adding aftermarket internals and an RB26 head.  Stock from the factory they add very little over having an L24 (114 KW for the RB30 vs 110KW for the L24).  Not particularly inspiring given the extra displacement and 25 year age gap!

So there you go, I learned something new today :)

Thanks Gav!

 

Those two rocker covers would make great wall hangers in your man cave if the budget allowed 8)

 

I came across this Honda heater fan for the 240Z on ebay.....could be a good thing considering what the original is like.

They look like TOPY wheels, but not sure if they are the same as earlier style ones? Just date stamped later?

Terrible translation.

 

Nissan original option race for the foil 14 inches 9J. Four set .. All four is 9J. The offset is thought whether stamp is not a How can 18 not read clearly. In addition, since there is a mark of 79 8 it seems that it is a 79-year production.Because they are older than 35 years in the photo I think difficult to understand in a state in which the dust is applied but there is like coming off paint. Is unlikely distortion or dents as long as confirmed by visual inspection but there thin gully scratch about 5 centimeters only one. In the photo there are only three, but the rest of the one will be with the tire. At the time, I had used attach the Works of the fender to S30 and boxes ska. No claim, no return. We besides many have exhibited. Solex 50 pie are being exhibited.

We were kept for many years, but has led to the disposal because it does not find a vehicle that meets to this foil.

Datsun 240z rear hatch early vented type

Starting bid $400

I reckon it's likely got more rust than just those in the photos. Quite a bit of work repairing these if they have been botched up before. Hope it's not hiding much under the paint.
