eosophobia Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 Hi all, I'm Zoe, but everyone calls me skunk, 17, from Vic, and obviously I love Datsuns. Dream car = 240Z or 260 [2 seaters of course] with an RB20 or possibly a rotary. In the process of looking for one to begin the process of building a show car over the next few years. Not extremely knowledgeable when it comes to the engine side of things and such, hence the mechanic boyfriend, but certainly keen to learn. For now, thats it I guess. Will be cruising around, lurking mainly. Hunting for that special car to call my own. x
Mr240z Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 Welcome to the Nut House, How a look around..................... Pauly Mr240z
xa1973 Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 Welcome Why would you want to put a rotary in a Z car Cheers
eosophobia Posted March 6, 2009 Author Posted March 6, 2009 Honestly, its the boyfriends idea. Loves his rice and rotaries XD Like i said, still not sure what my plans are with it, but I dont want just looks, or just speed. I want a nice combination
Moderators Zedman240® Posted March 6, 2009 Moderators Posted March 6, 2009 Welcome! Good luck with your search.....Rotaries have found their way into nearly everything...even HQ Holdens...remember the Mazda Pacer? Flop of course....
Aussie260z Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 Rotaries are great :-), most amazing HP figures for such a little engine - friends RX7 makes 440rwkw from a 1.3L, This should get you started :-)!!! http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=115039&highlight=rotary+engine & www.rotaryz.com
Jospef Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 What's wrong with 4 seater's? They are clearly the best.
Mr240z Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 What's wrong with 4 seater's? They are clearly the best. Where does it say there's something wrong with 4 seater's.. If you one of us lucky ones you wouldn't be pulling your own chain.. 2 seater sports car, not a family mover..
eosophobia Posted March 7, 2009 Author Posted March 7, 2009 Welcome. Don't touch Pauly's wang. HTH. Haha noted. Thanks. lol And I do like the 4 seaters, Dad used to have one. But I really do prefer the look of the coupes. Nicer roof line, much sleeker. Still sexy regardless. Haha Thanks for the warm welcome everyone
Jospef Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Where does it say there's something wrong with 4 seater's.. If you one of us lucky ones you wouldn't be pulling your own chain.. 2 seater sports car, not a family mover.. Doesn't say that anywhere. She just said "two seater's, of course". I'm supporting my 2+2, don't want its feelings to get hurt. P.s welcome to the forums, Skunk. Hope you find what you're looking for.
Aussie260z Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 2+2's go faster of course! But they are ugly as sin :-) If you get a 4 seater grab a 280zx, at least the back seats weren't an after thought :-)!!!
xa1973 Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 If you get a 4 seater grab a 280zx, at least the back seats weren't an after thought :-)!!!
lightmaster240z Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 now how many time do I have to say this play nice. by the way welcome. Good luck with your hunting for a new set of wheels Regards Bruce ;D ;D
eosophobia Posted March 8, 2009 Author Posted March 8, 2009 Haha. Champions. Thanks for the warm welcome. Expect to find me around and such. x
Jospef Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 2+2's go faster of course! But they are ugly as sin :-) If you get a 4 seater grab a 280zx, at least the back seats weren't an after thought :-)!!! What :|. Every time I see a 280zx my eyes sting a little.
Mick280zx Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 What :|. Every time I see a 280zx my eyes sting a little. Now Now!
zzzzed Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 guys dint fight about which one is the best at the end of the day they are all zeds, and are all good in their own way. the old saying goes horses for courses, if you wand a nice cruise car go for a 280zx, if you want a balls to the wall sports car go a 240/260z 2 seater, and if you want something in between go a 260z 2+2
Mick280zx Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 I agree. Just pick which one you like and throw your wallet at it!
Mick280zx Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Can I just say I hate all Zeds equally? Thank-you. Bad day in the shed Lurch?
C.A.R. Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Nar. I was just trying to get in on the Zed hateing...............................................
Dingo Dave Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 greetings from the act. But not canberra. Canberra sux. Tuggeranong is the good act place to be. still sux though. Nothing wrong with any datsuns. but if you want something fast and a hatch go for a 1200 coupe and then stick a ca18det in it bord out to 2l and running a disco potato. then tub the rear end and stick some hot rubber in it. Hehe 700kg of fighting datto. hehe then watch the passangers grab hold of the jesus bar and scream. (project yet to come and may be subject to copy right Devise Automotive A.C.T.) nah the datsuns are good cruisers no matter what. Everyone here will help you out somehow. Dont be ashamed to ask for help or anything. Good look finding a good car. Dingo Dave
zzzzed Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 interesting reading guys? but way off topic :o as for the 1200 instead of boring the ca18det why not go for the sr20 also i would hate to split hairs but they way 750kg standard so would be closer to 800kg with a ca18det they handle much better with the original a series .... I do miss my 1200 it was faaassttt
