George Posted August 25, 2009 Author Posted August 25, 2009 Welcome to the forums Shan. No need to be 'quietly' looking now that you've come out of the closet. Fill in your location and go to your next local meet. Thanks for your input. Quote
zed240au Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 have you tried a v8 z car shan you never know u might like it lol mine sure puts big smile on my face everytime i drive it much easier to drive slow in a car with big hp than drive fast in a low hp car but then i just love hp in anything and more the better mick Quote
George Posted September 6, 2009 Author Posted September 6, 2009 Bump... Video from this morning. Quote
chris240 Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 George have you considered removing the motor & gearbox & sell it without them ? I love your zed to death but I would have thought low 30's could be achievable as is. Its definetely a 30-something car , just "maybe" not $40k (just my personal opinion) you could transplant the V8 into your future clubbie Quote
George Posted September 6, 2009 Author Posted September 6, 2009 I have thought about it but to be honest it deserves that engine. It's well built and it would be a real shame to strip it and loose what it is. There's plenty of stock 240's. This one isn't and that's that. The price certainly isn't firm. If someone is willing to come to the 30's it will be a party. If not I'll keep enjoying it. Quote
FLEXZED Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 you hoodlum !!!!!!!!!!!!!! hope you didnt do it in our area ? Loui Quote
George Posted September 6, 2009 Author Posted September 6, 2009 No no. It was on private property. Quote
FLEXZED Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 yeah right property owned by the state gov hahahaha Quote
RBZ 260 Posted September 8, 2009 Posted September 8, 2009 shouldn't sell it George :'( its a wicked car i even seen it on other forums people using it as their dream car. i think was in one of the US forums. so it is a very cool and unique car. just enjoy it more. pihh clubman=motorbike with 4 wheels safety just as good. temporary australian. one guy from adelaide raced clubmans and he bought himself a 240z recently for historic racing. so there are people going the other way... but be patient the right buyer will come. maybe add neg or drop the price slightly to help the cause but i wouldn't.

George Posted September 8, 2009 Author Posted September 8, 2009 Cheers for the kind words and advice. As much as I want to sell it to start my project I'm starting to think it will be a big mistake. One of my friends is also possibly getting a 240 this week which makes me want to keeeeeeep it. Quote
Mr240z Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 keep it Thats goes for me as-well, Or the Sydney boys will disown you.. Quote
Moderators Zedman240® Posted September 9, 2009 Moderators Posted September 9, 2009 Just do some extra overtime at work and keep the zed and save cash. You know that's going to happen! Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted September 9, 2009 Administrators Posted September 9, 2009 Keep it George, that way I can forget about trying to work out some form of finance to buy it myself lol. Plus you get to stay in our community which as you know is the best on the net . Besides who is going to send me donations on a regular basis to help keep the site up lol. Quote
chris240 Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 If you go ahead with a clubman or Caterham etc, youll need to buy a tweed jacket and a matching gentlemans cap from david jones...... Quote
George Posted September 10, 2009 Author Posted September 10, 2009 LOL fine! I'm going to buy bikies goggles too ^.^ What if I buy an MX5? Quote
lightmaster240z Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 I f you buy a MX5 you will need to buy a hair dryer as well as the jacket and goggles regrads Spamaster by the way if you give your suit size I could find a nice Tweed jacket in your size. Quote
George Posted September 10, 2009 Author Posted September 10, 2009 Stop picking on me...Not my fault I want a real drivers car... Quote
PZG302 Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 LOL fine! I'm going to buy bikies goggles too ^.^ What if I buy an MX5? Nothing wrong with an MX5, they're cheaper to buy than Z's and you don't have to worry about anyone having put a sun roof in it allready Quote
George Posted September 10, 2009 Author Posted September 10, 2009 I wasn't kidding when I mentioned the MX5. It's basically a more road suitable clubman with heaps more creature comforts and at half the price. Could be the best of both worlds. I'm going to test drive a couple to see if they really deserve the wraps everyone gives them. Quote
Moderators Zedman240® Posted September 10, 2009 Moderators Posted September 10, 2009 Mate has one with coilovers and just a NA 1.6. They do handle very well and are pretty quick standard. Installing a turbo is simple and cheap compared to others. But be careful of the early ones..89-90's. They had a harmonic balancer issue that would damage the crank and a bit exy to repair. Quote
lightmaster240z Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 I fit save you from selling your Z them just tell me your suit size and the deal is done Quote
George Posted September 10, 2009 Author Posted September 10, 2009 If I end up with an MX5 someone needs to shoot me I suppose. Selling a 240 for an MX5!? Who in their right mind would do that... :-\ Quote
George Posted September 11, 2009 Author Posted September 11, 2009 After owning both now, which one was more 'fun' to drive? Talking pure driving enjoyment, not the enjoyment you get by simply owning it. Quote
