It's in WA, which has a low population of S30z's in general compared with the East Coast. (freight alone for a 2 seater from the East Coast is probably near $2000 AU). Always easier to start high and come down, than try and start low and go up . It may not be as rusty as it looks structurally which might be a positive since door skins can be replaced relatively easily (well for a pro not me ) and other external panels can be remedied / replaced without too much hassle. It's the structural stuff that slows down the project. Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted January 22, 2015 Author Administrators Posted January 22, 2015 2 seater S130 in Japan. http://page19.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/x373336540 Looks quite tidy and I like the overall look (not sure about rear hatch). http://yahoo.kurumaerabi.com/html/201501/229/39b3d3ad_image.html About $13k before import duties etc.. but being older than 30 years it should be cheaper to import.

oldmates260z Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 I must admit I do like the look 280 2 seaters...and yes the rear hatch Quote

53-681 Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 This entry is dedicated to Bozo. Sigh. I've been checking thread updates almost once a month as opposed to once a day due to international content... Quote
d3c0y Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Yeah i think the international listings should go in another thread. They are fun to look at, but not really that practical for most people looking to buy a car. Quote

Could be a good base for someone. You will probably need a new bonnet because of the extent of the hail damage. Quote

Bit of hammer and dolly time + heat shrinking and you could definitely save a straight bonnet. That original bronze hue and 260z 2+2 is what first got me into these cars. It seems cheap to me at $3k even if it needs work. Well worth doing. Quote
George Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 260Z $12.5k from Isaac in Sydney. http://www.tradeuniquecars.com.au/detail/cars/unique-cars/datsun/260z/42104 Check out the amount of Z's in the background. Quote
oldmates260z Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 These ones have been on the net for years...wonder what the go is with them? Looks like there is a paddock full of Zeds http://www.tradeuniquecars.com.au/detail/cars/unique-cars/datsun/260z/42104 http://www.tradeuniquecars.com.au/detail/cars/unique-cars/datsun/260z/42106 George when I put this up I think it was said that this one was gone. May be an old advert. Quote
oldmates260z Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Issac the "woodchippa" Yellow one is sold, blue one still for sale last time i visited him, i bought my zed from him 1 year ago, and a few others on here have bought their cars from him too. Story goes he took out his super 20 years ago, went around bought up 50 cars or so, and is slowly selling them off... my car paid for part of his wedding! Quote
George Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 George when I put this up I think it was said that this one was gone. May be an old advert. I thought that might be the case but wasn't sure. A friend on Facebook shared it with me. Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted January 31, 2015 Author Administrators Posted January 31, 2015 Don't get too excited over that Yellow S30z (late 260z), I know it's history (I believe it's the same car). It was pretty rough body wise (lots of rust) about 2004-2005 when I saw it. Someone in Hawthorn owned it (near Swinburne) and I'd be very surprised if it was ever properly repaired. Someone is going to sandblast that car someday and be left with something that makes HS30 00019 look solid . Quote
dat240z Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 That yellow 260z has been for sale quite often over the last 12 years or so..... Something must be suss in order for it to change hands or be for sale a lot..... Quote

Not original (RB25).

Higher unemployment forcing people to sell toys free up some cash? Quote
brent012 Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 I think I remember seeing that yellow one for sale a few weeks ago listed from somewhere in the Blue Mountains. Remember the colour and fact that it had a l28 turbo. Looked like it needed a bit more work than it does in those photos. Quote

thriller Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 "This car can be test driven if required and does have some rust to be fixed prior to rego. Othan than that it should pass the Blue Slip" Move along move along, no rust to see here. Quote

Hmm... http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/_/SSE-AD-3238414 Sounds like car dealer talk to me. We all know how much we love those guys around here This Unique Datsun 240Z Coupe has a powerful 2.8 litre engine. Excellent in condition and faultless in performance. The 1971 Datsun 240Z has renowned performance and style. This car is exceptional value at $27,000. I feel a bit nervous about the throttle return spring. Quote
