Roth Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 dunno if this one has been discussed but if so i missed it; though there are only a few days left on auction. Appears recent spray over rust, if so is a worry... http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Datsun-240z-Sports-1973-2D-Coupe-5-SP-Manual-2-4L-Twin-Carb-/120846700106?pt=AU_Cars&hash=item1c23064e4a Quote

MMANGO Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 definitely one of my fav cars, If I hadn't just bought a bike i would be all over it Quote
chris240 Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 Wow ! I love that console... Bit of all over cancer , but given the rarity you cant complain. Its like a cross between an early 60's fiat & alfa. Quote

Ben Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 It looks practically complete, and I don't remember the last time I saw one of Nissan's 'other ladies' of that vintage for sale... Quote
Tj Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Oh wow! If only I had the money :'( As long as the body and interior is complete these wouldn't be too difficult to restore, thwyre mechanically the same as the roadsters. Swapping body panels on them would be a nightmare as I believe they're all hand beaten and therefore all a little different, let alone finding replacement panels in the first place. Quote
dat2kman Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 These were exported to Australia only, i think around 100 or so only got here, so quite rare. The CSP owners will be all onto this one. The bits missing will be impossible to find. They are a full chassis. Nissan just put this coupe body, straight onto a whole roadstwr chassis with all roadster mechanicals, still plenty of roadster stuff avial, just, but the CSP body fittings and interior bits will be tough. Easy to upgrade motor to a 2 litre using H20 internals into the R block, and a pair of 240Z carbs will wake it up Quote
RB30X Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 If I lived close I would go there just to get a photo of me standing next to it Quote
Tj Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 JNC ran an interesting article a while back comparing the CSP311and the S13 Silvia. There was some very interesting design details carried over that most people wouldbt have noticed. Quote
Scoota G Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Not a zed but an interesting project RB30 powered 180B! http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Datsun-180b-GL-1974-RB30-turbo-rego-/170769216881?pt=AU_Cars&hash=item27c2a37571 Quote
dat2kman Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Dont laugh, the model reference is 610, in usa they did a slightly longer bonnet/front guard version, but looked exact same, model ref was 810. It had fitted to it a L series six cylinder! So not totally new, he's just using a newer engine in tje 610 In between was a 710, also called Violet, they only ever came to Australia as factory specials for tje Souther Cross rallies in mid 1970's. Horror f horrors, as they were not complied to Aus, and were "used"cars after the event, they were simply pushed off the side of the freighter/boat, just off Sydney Heads, on their eay back to Japan! They could not be left in Aus! Quote
PZG302 Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 I know one violet that stayed in Sydney, not sure where it is now though... Quote

handsandwhich Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Car is nice, previous owner must have been Moses..... But even he could not part the red sea that resides in that! Quote
260Coupe Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 That interior was best known as "Parisian Brothel" Rouge..........I have a white 280 with the same interior............it's vulgar and I love it ! Quote
DevZed Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 hopefully going to go down and check it out in the next day or so, it looks pretty good but we all know that its not a Z if it doesnt have any rust Quote
DevZed Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 checked it out today, pretty much immaculate can't fault it literally no rust and no cracks in the dash... T-Top seals are supurb... its like the car has been frozen in time.... Quote
chris240 Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Damn that things clean.... Just on interiors, try to look up a 1982-83 VH-SLE commodore with the green interior, had to have been the best boudoir interior in Aust motoring history Quote
