Mr Camouflage

Hello back at ya from WA I think I have a spare Voltmeter and Clock from a 260Z if you're interested.

I wouldn't hold your breath.

There are pictures of 2 different cars in this thread, the L series engine isn't in the 432. There is no pic of the 432 engine. The S20 had a twin cam cross flow head. There was a cross flow head for the L series. The works rally cars had them. Extremely rare.

That's a violation of ebay listing policy. Item location misrepresentation and advertising something they don't even own

It's the Yanaha/Nissan A550X. Not really related to the S30 240Z except for the fact Nissan did the development of it for Yamaha. It's more related to the Toyota 2000GT, though that's not accurate either since the S30 and the Toyota GT were both new projects not directly related to the A550X. This was the car Goertz worked on and the beginning of the Geortz myth that he designed the 240Z and the 2000GT.

I think if you are going to pay AU$1000 for mags then you should get ones that fit without using an adaptor.

The upside is that you'd have all the time in the world to work on it. I bought my 240 when I was between jobs and got stuck into it, stripping it to a bare shell, but got a job and since then it has just sat there.

Still pushing the Mr G myth

I see that the thread on classiczcars.com that inspired this one has completely vanished after a couple of members started going at it. Pity they wipe the entire thread, instead of just deleting the couple of posts. When you spot a Porsche 911, you should say "Hey, nice Datsun". That should wind up a few Porsche oweners If I see one when I'm out driving I say "Blackbird".

If you told him you wanted 240z ones, then they are probably the black ones.

That was probably JP240z, not jp 240z. Yes confusing to have 2 members with almost identical screen names.

I had a vehicle inspector come out to my house yesterday to look at my other half's camry which we are selling. Older guy, probably 50's or 60's. He could tell I'm a Nissan fan from the old 240K out on the road and the 3 other Nissans in the driveway. So he starts telling me about his 240Z he used to have years ago (1970's or 1980's) when he was younger. I said yeah I got one in the back yard. He tells me his had a G nose. I said, yeah I got one of them in the shed. I think he was a bit taken back that I knew what a G nose was, and that I even had one He was working on the mines back then and had the car put into a panel beaters for a moneys no object restoration. He'd bought the car from a Japanese friend with a G nose, which he kept on the car. It had an L28 with triple webbers and was dark blue. He ran into a bit of a cash flow problem and sold the car (so he could keep his house), but regretted it the instant the car reversed out of the drive with he new owners. I showed him the rusty 240Z I have out the back of my house, and told him about the z club here in WA and the Aussie Z register. He's keen to find out what ever happened to his old 240. It's a long shot, but has anyone got a dark blue 240Z with an L28 and triple webbers that had a G nose, and came from WA? Lic Plates when he owned it were UNC 273. I told him there's not much hope of finding it, unless he knew the chassis number. I think he's got the z bug again....

The chrome ones you see on S30's sometimes are off the 510 Bluebird. The correct S30 ones are the black ones. They are a little taller than the chrome ones.

Gavin, why don't you make a registered forums users only thread for this type of stuff. That way only forums members can download it, and others cant hotlink to it either, nor download it.

140Z

Maybe i should sell you my g nose

I reckon keep the rear and side skirts, just ditch the front end spoiler and put one of these on instead.

Saw this cheap 260Z 2 seater on trading post: http://www.tradingpost.com.au/Automotive/Used-Cars/Sports-Performance-Cars/AdNumber=TP002195707 Guess the boot wasn't big enough so he had to fit a luggage rack on the hatch

Whats your engine budget?

Buy one of the good 5 piece ones form Japan, not that one piece crap one.

Don't get a wood steering wheel like that, and don't get 240Z embossed in the door panels either. Thats so tacky.

There is quite a size difference between the 2000GT and the S30. (Photos nicked from classiczcars.com)

Yeah it was Fibreglass, apart from the actual bumper part which was expanded urethane foam
