Zshop Melbourne has a 1977 Datsun 260z 2 seater for sale (same registration as originally sold on). https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=1265828880161720&id=708176415926972 RS30-020058

http://www.ebay.com/itm/122387014732 Current price: $12,000 USD reserve not met. HLS30-19732

If anyone can get the no. for the Green 240z please let me know? Seller was listing it on Facebook but I didn't get the VIN.

Payment sent.

It was previously listed at $65k at this rate of price drop I'll buy it in a few weeks. ?

Sounds good to me, all I need is payment details. Geoff, can you send me a PM with payment details?

Isn't that just the bell housing though? Or is there other differences?

Hey Geoff, I'm interested in the OER Triple fuel rail. Can you post to Warragul in Victoria for me? Going to be installing Triple Mikuni 44's.

Compe Wheel http://page24.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/q148791140 Nismo 10th Anniversary edition. NOS.

In that condition there is a very high chance it works. Every 1 of these radios I've bought has worked. Albeit some have had auto seek issues. But they still have signal and sound.

Interestingly I have Gareth's old wheel and didn't notice this as a problem when I fitted it. I also wonder if there is a difference between the OEM version and the replica's that have been made later? Interestingly the reason for the different "dish" in the home market vs export market was for leg room. Taller foreigners needed more leg space, hence the deeper dish. I was always puzzled as to why there was 2 different depths of steering wheel.

Masonite backing is different to OEM, but as Andy mentioned I think the clip holes on these can vary making fitment a little painful.

When you sell this 1 can i get first dibs again? Lol funny enough the competition wheel did smell of fuel. Not that I'm complaining of course. ?. Wheel looks great. I doubt anyone else in Oz has 1 yet. Just need some Ikeda Bussan seats now. ?

71A Gear bag for sale. Suit Roadster, I believe you'll need the 240z bell housing to make this 1 work. Along with appropriate driveshaft. https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/earlwood/engine-engine-parts-transmission/datsun-2000-sports-5-speed-gearbox/1139977319 $1,500.00 location in Earlwood NSW

The seller flips a lot of early S30z's he was also selling #64 a while ago. I think his descriptions can be optimistic let's just say.

I just came across this post on modifying a 71C box to fit into an earlier 240z. http://zhome.com/ZCMnL/tech/240SX5spd/transmission.htm

I will yes, when I get a moment.

Yes every time I took out the red 72 the gearbox was horrible. It wasn't crunching or anything but just felt notchy going into gear. I suspect worn synchro rings. Looking forward to a close ratio box also, another future upgrade will have to be an R180 LSD diff. Maybe 4.11 ratio? As for the room? I haven't got any, I'm actually paying to store the green car. I've been trying to find a place to buy in Melbourne (since Sydney is another level of crazy) but so far haven't managed to find anything suitable or reasonably priced. As for having time? Well I don't have kids yet, which helps but that's why I'm outsourcing work on this car. I just don't have enough time when I'm in Melbourne to do half the things I want to on it. So I'm paying to get some things done. The Green car is not going to be something that gets done quickly. I don't care if it takes me 20 years (hopefully not). The important thing is I have the car and will slowly ebb away at it over many years if I have to and my budget only permits that. I have already budgeted having the body work done by someone else and put the money aside for that.

Hi Folks, Thanks to Peter (PB260Z) for putting his hand up to help out as moderator which involves wearing a few hats including: The verification of new posts and flagging of spam (so we don't have to see it). Welcoming new members. And attending to some of their basic questions (which can require a lot of patience). Why have a moderator? It's true that most of the time things run smoothly around here - but as we all know, it can also get a bit heated. I think it says a lot about Peter that I didn't even have to think twice about the promotion. He's just a natural fit for the job and already helps out a lot with these tasks anyway. Congratulations to Peter and please feel free to welcome him to the new role. Cheers, Gavin

I had this car listed as #361, not #351. Turns out it's sister car #352 is in NZ. Here is a photo before its "restoration" it's now a Porsche red colour.

Which wheel are you referring to? The steering wheel or hubcaps?

Rather than address individual posts here that have been reported. I've edited out any slurs or foul language. Since I'd rather not dredge up a few days of back and forth arguments. Instead I'll just state that this thread is solely intended for the discussion of advertised cars on the market. As 1 of the most viewed and used threads on this site, it also carries with it a large subscriber list that receive every update / reply. Therefore I'm sure the majority of members would appreciate any tit-for-tat commentary be moved to another thread where you can knock yourselves out or kept to PM system where you're free to abuse each other as much as you like (just don't complain to me about it), until you've worked it all out of your system .
