road rider Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 Don't know if this has been posted already, but it's only a 280ZX, so there's a good chance it hasn't!! 280ZX 44,350kms $28,500 For that price you would have thought some more detailed pictures might have helped the sale. Only two pics and the second one is very shitty! http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Nissan-280ZX-1983/SSE-AD-3608137/?Cr=3 Quote
road rider Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 (edited) But if I was in the market for a 280ZX, I'd go for this one. 280ZX 152,000kms $15,000 And it's a manual Plus I like the colour! http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Nissan-280ZX-1983/SSE-AD-4394662/?Cr=0 Edited December 6, 2016 by road rider gav240z 1 Quote

Those links are from previous owners, the car was "unrestored" until it went to the UK with the new owner who did a bare metal paint job on it. Quote

HS30 100053 There's something seriously wrong with the character line alignment on the left front guard and door, not that it would affect alignment but is that a 260z front guard? Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted December 7, 2016 Author Administrators Posted December 7, 2016 Yes it's a 260z front guard, you can tell because no AU delivered 240z's had the indicator in the guard. That only came with 74+ models and the 260z. Getting that alignment spot on is a PITA.. Quote
Chassis254 Posted December 8, 2016 Posted December 8, 2016 Gav, I have HS30-100052 and that has an Australian compliance date of 10/1973 and my car does not have the indicators or the different sub-wiring loom to the indicators on the front bumper bar. Also the overriders on the car advertised for sale are upside down and on the wrong sides. Quote

Yeah lol, the rear overriders are on the front bumper and the front ones are on the rear (but upside down)... It does look a bit odd that way. Quote

Are you sure that your car is HS30-100052 and/or that the compliance plate is dated 10/73 - and not 01/73? The only HS30-100xxx series cars on the Datsun Register-WA list (http://wazregister.c..._Cars&year=1973) are; HS30-100414 240Z 3/1973 - Engine # L24-125945 and HS30-100983 240Z 1/1973 - Engine # L24-151379 My car is; HS30-103724 240Z 9/1973 - Engine # L24-189707 What is/was the original engine number for your car? Late Australian 240Z's and some 260Z's (especially UK and European delivered cars) that had the separate front indicators, had them mounted on top of the bumper, and did not have front bumper over riders (presumably so they wouldn't block the indicators). Many owners, however, have relocated the indicators to below the bumper, as does this car (i.e. HS30 100053). The photo below (which was posted in this topic - http://www.viczcar.com/forum/topic/13953-whats-the-blinking-story/) shows the holes in the bottom section of the bumper that made it easy to move the lights. The holes were probably originally provided for the addition of the fog lights which were an option for Japanese domestic market cars.

This picture of the car shows both the original location of the front blinker, and one of the holes under the bumper, conveniently provided by the factory, that was used by many to relocate the blinkers.

It sounds like an early 1973 model car to me also. Compliance plates from my observation have usually been fitted 2-3 months after build date (closer to 2). For example HS30 00150 compliance plate states 11/70 but build date is close to September 1970 as far as I can tell. I would guess your car would be very late 72 (which might explain lack of later indicators fitted) or very early 73. Does the compliance plate have the same chassis no. on it?* *Could it be from another car? Quote

Administrators gav240z Posted December 9, 2016 Author Administrators Posted December 9, 2016 Makes a lot more sense, as I mentioned in the other thread the chassis numbers are really just an indicator of year, but not a hard and fast rule. Quote

Now assume a 20% survivor rate.. leaves about 70 cars today. I'm not surprised. Hope owner is on here and shares some photos! I haven't seen this car yet... cracker 1 Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted December 14, 2016 Author Administrators Posted December 14, 2016 260z 2 seater in NZ for $10k buy it now. http://www.trademe.co.nz/a.aspx?id=1222493866 Car is rolling with original running gear in it. Have all paperwork required to get it on the road in New Zealand. Was imported from the U.S. Very hard decision but it has to be done, one of the toys has to go due to circumstances LHD, have a RHD dash for it. STILL REQUIRES ALOT OF WORK, it is a project. Good basis to start with, most of the rust/poor repairs has been removed. Rear rails will be done and rear valance completed before it goes to the new owner. Still have the original running gear sitting here with matching numbers. Engine/body has done 61 thousand miles . Have all required paperwork to get it legal in New Zealand. Wheels pictured don't come with it, has 3 piece 15x6.5 Impul R701s with new centercaps. Converted to disc brake in the rear. Brand new badges on the boot and front guards. All bolt on panels are in excellent condition, no rust and no signs of repairs. Pretty much from the floor pans forward its good, the rear was very rusted but have cut it all out and started replacing it. All chrome and windows are in excellent condition, bumpers are straight/rust free and included in the auction. Very hard to get now, low price as it has to go. Instead of settling for a 2+2 which have shot up in value, get this cheap 2 seater, spend a few grand and you will have yourself a awesome 2 seater at a fraction of the price of what they sell for and you will have the satisfaction of knowing it has been done properly, alot of these cars get very dodgy repairs and you won't know until its too late. The miracles of filler. As said, this is a project. 240z, 280z, 280zx, s30, s30z, s31, s31z, s130, s130z Quote
