Thinking about changing cars, if it doesn't sell I'll just hold onto it.

 

Model: 260z 2+2 - "Ferrari Red"

Location: Adelaide

Price and Payment Conditions: $9000, happy to take bank transfers or cash on pickup.

Condition: Excellent

Body: No rust visible, recent rust removal/paint (12 months)

Mechanical: Running well, used 3/4 times a week.

Registration: Reg till August 2013

Roadworthy supplied: N/A in SA

Contact: oh four oh nine - two three six - nine two six

 

Bought the car in June/July 2010 and has been my daily since. 

 

Running an L28 and Bluebird box (Dyno'd 150HP ATW when tuned), with standard rear diff (3.9). Car had a nasty clunk when changing throttle position drastically when bought, I replaced the engine and differential mounts (NOS) and problem solved. Engine is stock as far as I know.

Twin side-drafts (From what I am told by my carburetor specialist, they are British SUs), tuned, balanced and re-needled. Rejetted recently (Receipts for work done)

Replaced rear wheel bearings (NOS)

Replaced halfshafts (Decent condition from Barry at Adelaide Z)

Replaced front wheel bearings (NOS)

Replaced front brake pads, rotors, flexible hoses. (<2000km)

New thermostat

New master and slave cylinder (Stainless steel sleeved version from Powerbrakes, around $150 from memory)

 

Car alarm/Immobiliser

 

When I bought the car the PO had significantly changed the inside, creating a lockbox where the rear seats sit, and fitting non standard seats. I bought the seats which RBZ260 had in his 260, installed custom seat mounts, and also refitted the rear seats.

Rear plastic panels have been overhauled and refreshed with colour coat (Not spraypaint).

New headlining

New carpets

Uncracked dash

Removed 3rd party radio, installed amplifier under front passenger seat, 3.5mm headphone jack sits in ashtray in console. Rear speakers fitted behind rear interior panels. I spun up some disks and epoxied them behind the perforated areas to hide the speakers. Was intending to fit a front set also, but see no real need at this point in time. Also didn't want to cut holes in the door cards I reskinned (same material as headlining with vinyl top).

 

Hood was replaced/resprayed middle of last year as part of insurance claim. (No frame damage, just rolled hood/bent bumper) Insurance allowed me to get rid of my bog filled bonnet for the one from Roberto's car (He has since replaced his with a CF hood). Hood is a non vented hood with vent holes cut into it. Repro bumper also part of claim, brand new chrome.

While the car was at the shop I had some other issues addressed:

Front guard badges deleted

Ariel hole deleted

Rust in rear quarters repaired

Rust in guards repaired

Rust in doors repaired

(None of these areas was larger than 10/20c piece. Had bubbles starting to show, figured might as well get the work done while it was there)

Rust free hatch installed

New hatch rubber

New hatch slam panel

Rear lights reconditioned/painted (Matt black, match hood vents)

New air dam

Fresh coat of paint over entire car.

 

Rear bumper deleted by PO

 

Negatives:

Rear demister does not work

Currently has no grill (Will remedy before sale)

Currently only 1 door card fitted (Will remedy before sale)

Windscreen washer bottle does not work.

Handbrake could do with adjusting.

Missing hatch badge (Will remedy before sale)

 

Car does not leak fluids, starts and runs well. I’ve been using it as my daily for over two years now and the only problem I’ve had was the clutch master leaking, which was a simple swap job to fix.

Happy to answer any questions, feel free to contact me on my mobile or through the forum.
