Find him a cheap Z31 buy it and give it to him, on the condition he stores the 260Z and gives it to you when want it. You save mileage on the 260Z, and you don't have to find anywhere to store it.

Hey, Lurch got a 2 seater

Yep. Which was a UK design from the 50's The mini-lites as stated above. To say Superlites knocked off the design from Watanabe, is like saying Jaguar knocked off the design of the e-type from the 240Z.

I like it. I thought (and still do) that the 350Z is butt ugly. The 370Z is a major improvement. Don't like the headlights though.

Yes they did. It's possible that the center console was swapped in from a 1970 to mid 1971 240z, and the dashboard is the correct one from your car. The later center consoles have a habit of cracking near where the ashtray is, so maybe it got swapped for an earlier one in better condition. Nope. Only 1970 to early 1971 had lighters in the console. Post a photo of the fusebox area (remove the cover from the center console) and that should give an idea whether its the dash or the console that has been swapped.

Cool.Thought the Z31 was the first with leather seats. On ebay you see vinyl seat described as leather all the time.

Previously, what like in 1990? Times change, inflation, cars get rarer, more people are wanting them. It's just the way it is. Supply and demand. I recently saw a HG Monaro sell for 45 grand, and no its wasn't a genuine V8 just a 6 cyl GTS that has has a V8 transplant. Needed a complete repaint and hadn't turned the engine over in years. I remember when you could buy an XB GT coupe for around $12,000. Now everyone wants $45 grand. You get people thinking "I remember how much they used to sell for 15 years ago, so i'm not gonna pay todays values". Yeah, years ago you could pick up an old in need of restoration, Datsun or Ford or whatever for $500, but its 2008, not 1988. A couple of grand for a rare-ish car that needs a full rebuild in this day and age isn't too much to ask. If you can get it for $500 good luck to you. You could probably slap it straight on ebay and get 4 grand for it and go looking for one in better condition. If you keep it original and restore it, it will be worth more than if you do an engine swap, mods, etc. It's just the way it is with classic cars. It's like finding a GT-HO phase three and stripping it, throwing out the engine and replacing it with a new V8, new seats, etc.....just on a smaller scale. What shits me is people trying to cash in on house prices, old houses that haven't been renovated since they were built are worth three, maybe four times what they were worth when they were built. Previously they were only worth 350 grand, now people are trying to get half a mil for them.

Superlites are not watanabe copy rims

Why does everyone mistake vinyl for leather? I'm pretty sure that, like the S30, the S130 never had leather seats. Nice car anyway. One of the guys over here has a 2 seater S130 the same colour.

Don't try and rip the old guy off. It's probably his pension fund Being an early car and in the condition its in, he could probably get 1.5 to 3 grand for it if he were to advertise it.

The 240Z didn't go on sale until September 1970 in Australia. So that would make all of them 1970 registered cars, or later.

Factory turbo S30

Or you could just run a pipe to the front if the standard air box and leave the stock air filter in place.

Ah. So they were after the 4WD and trailer. Probably a good thing, as the owner would probably have insurance for them, but maybe not on the race car, being a purpose built track car.

P90 block? never heard of that one. The F54 block was the one with the P90 head. There were only 2 L28 blocks that I know of. The N42 and the F54. (There was also an N42 head though, strangely enough).

And the view from the drivers seat of a 2+2 is the same as from a 2 seater (as long as you don't look in the mirrors )

Ah but does it talk to you and sound like Val Kilmer?

I like the side profile a whole lot more than the 350Z. Looks like they tried to add a S30 is curve to the cars door door-line/window line. The roof profile is more of a continuous curve to the rear of the car, unlike the 350's steep curve then flatish tail-end bump.

Wrong. The 240Z went on sale in Australia in late 1970.

The coupes were GL's as well

Food poisoning. Maybe food = beer

Photos weren't working for me, so heres another 350Z I found on teh interwebs. 350Z wrecked by driver. http://www.lotustalk.com/forums/f68/crash-mid-ohio-scca-t2-nissan-61500/

Mineral turps softens up silicon and shouldn't affect acrylic paint.
