That 1 has been for sale for a while now, unfortunately the images I posted earlier in this thread are now broken. Unfortunately there is quite a few small issues with that car that would prevent it reaching top value. The tail lights for example are reproduction items and not NOS.

NOS Genuine S30z mirror. http://page8.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/h204916811 50,000 YEN for 1 side only... Part no. 96301-E4100

NLR - Found 1 on eBay. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/151856428690 Postage is always a killer though.

Now here is a cool piece. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Halda-Tripmaster-/171980741313 See posts here: http://www.classiczcars.com/topic/16248-datsun-240z-euro-spec-springs/?p=133039 Perhaps if Alan is watching he can clarify if this is the same model that would have been used in Works Rally Cars in period? Starting Bid is $800.. Halda Trip Master.

I've got the same issue in my FD RX-7 a slightly noise with the clutch disengaged and when it's engaged it goes away. It's not loud enough to drop the gearbox and be worried about it.

LOL I let mine sit in a garage for 6 years while I was abroad. It is just a bit dusty..

Hi everyone, I managed to find a supplier in the US which has early 260z door trims only problem is shipping is 300 USD a piece and shipping 3 in bulk only saves me about 100 USD (1100 USD in shipping alone). So we are looking at shipping by sea to see how cheap we can get it. However that will obviously take a lot longer. I just wanted to see how much interest there is in these door trims as I might import a few depending on demand. Cost would be around $1,500 AU a pair.

I hope it does reach production. I can't help but feel this car and the stir it is causing would have been similar to the S30z launch back in the day. To think we will see another rotary. I honestly thought it was dead due to emissions.

Depends on what you're looking for, it looks like an honest car but you would want to know more about it's history, was it repainted and when and did it go to bare metal? How is the underside of the car and common rust prone areas? There is quite a few items that are not original, gear knob, choke knob is broken, radiator is aftermarket, airbox is missing, bonnet badge is gone. Hard to tell on the angle of the photo but bonnet may have had a nudge in the past as the swage line on it looks a little droopy and it's usually a very defined sharp line. It looks like someone put some kind of temporary bench seat in there, not sure if it's permanently attached but certainly not original. Seats are late 260z (77/78 model). If it was well restored apart from a few odd parts mixed in over different years and you want a turn key car that doesn't require restoration it might not look like a bad deal in the next 5 - 10 years if you buy it now, with the way the market is moving. However the seller is a dealer and doesn't appear to know much about them, they are also charging quite a bit of mark up also.

Those wheels were already sold.

Hi Richard, I met with someone in California who may be able to help in this regard. That is the easy part. The hard part is shipping them. Currently working on sourcing some other stuff at the moment but will be looking into this soon.

If you haven't already try Gumtree I found my engine stand on there for $50. I find problem is when you need something it never shows up for sale but as soon as you buy a new 1 it arrives on Gumtree for 1/3 the price.

Dimitri took me for a spin in this thing at the Christmas BBQ and it moves pretty quickly.

Thread cleaned up please keep discussions on this for sale thread related to item for sale.

Mossy I know I've asked this somewhere before but searching the forum I couldn't find the info. Can you clarify if this airbox is made of metal or fiberglass? The backing plate looks fiberglass but the outer box looks to be metal. I've seen this airbox a few times in person but never actually confirmed what it's made of.

If only I had my own house I'd be all over this.

Great colour that car, wonder what it will sell for? No underbody photos sadly. https://player.vimeo.com/video/143026819

I really like the first photo, great car. I wonder where it ended up also?

That's actually a flexible tagging system for searching and organisation of content not so much price, but I guess it's another way of doing it..

Genuine S30z ones have longer stalks and are worth more than $500. Sometimes JP to $900 or more for NOS. You can get bluebird 510 ones which look the same but sit lower for about $400-$500 new. Maybe cheaper if you get lucky.

Good pick up. It was more than likely an RS30 chassis code car. Meaning an AU spec 260z back dated to look like a 240z instead with rear light assembly and earlier spec badges. The indicators in the fenders at the front are also 260z introduced items. But don't expect Speedhunters to get those details right. They are better than most but still quite a few inaccuracies creep in from time to time.

No need to be sorry, as much as I like the idea I just couldn't do it to my own S30s as I prefer the period correct feel myself. If I was going to do a 20b or 4 Rotor swap I'd put it in my FD rx7. I think a 4 Rotor is overkill anyway, 20b is plenty for a street driven car. 4 Rotor does sound glorious though.

I find it hard to believe someone will do that to it. At this stage I think it would be restored. I did think about cutting it up though, mostly because I want a rear 1/4 panel on the driver side. So if someone does this and doesn't need it please let me know? I could also be keen on the windscreen haha.

Just imagine driving an S20 powered S30z, that noise!
