Car is sold. Thanks for all the interest guys, and for being an excellent forum during my time with the zed. Dave

Hey import monky, I'm in the US, so can't really msg you I'm sorry. My old man, whose house it's all at, and who pops stuff in the mail for me when necessary is also here visiting. I dare say most of the money in those arms will be the courier. If you wanna organize it via e-go from Ballarat, when my dad is back in the country he should be able to drop them off. PM or email me if you wanna go ahead. Thanks, Dave

Haha. I'm in no rush. It'll either sell as it is, or I'm coming back in Sep and I'll rebuild the L28 and add $2K to the price. I assure you, anyone that goes for a ride in it will find a way to buy it. Dave

All the pictures I have of the car are here: https://goo.gl/photos/kErAEU9tDNskUjQ26 Dave

Hey armie, It is. I'm in no rush. Steady interest, and predictably a lot of low ballers. :-) Dave

Gav, Yeah the box sold to a mate. Dave

Thanks Peter. Responded via email. Dave

Yep. If your initials are B. K. I replied to your email. Dave

Bump.

No response from thriller on lsd, and phillay decided against. LSD diff without axles is back up for sale!

Bunch more photos showing the car as it sits right now. https://goo.gl/photos/Q6YmWjrKhRHfDnet5 Forgot about the rust issue on the passengers floor, which is a bummer, but overall, it's in better condition than I could have hoped for! I'm really gunna miss this car. I get that feeling like this sale might be a mistake... Dave

strt260, replied. Thanks. Gav, Dave, thanks for the info! Dave

Thanks dat2kman, I did put the same ad up over there, I was just too lazy to edit it here. If it's inappropriate as is I can do so though. theremm, replied. Dave

Edit: sorry

Djh, haven't got any pms from you? Edit: replied.

Replied.

d3c0y, Thanks, I totally missed that. I'll update it now as I'm back in Oz tomorrow. Thriller, Shoot me a PM. Looking for around $900 for the one without axles, and around $1100 for the one with axles Dave

Ok so that's clearly priced a little high. Price reduced to 13K. Dave

Hey guys, I'm putting my old project car up for sale: http://www.ozdat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=6303 to be honest I'm unclear what I should be asking for the car, but it's a fun car, and when going, it's fast as hell. I'm looking for around $15,000 13,000 for it. It ran a best of 12.83 @ 115MPH on 9psi with a 2.2 60' time (195 street tyres and an open diff). It's currently tuned for 19psi and has a locked diff, so is obviously substantially faster than that. Model: 240z Location: Ballarat, Vic (maybe moved to Melbourne) Price and Payment Conditions: $15000 13,000 Cash in hand or paypal Item Condition: Good Body: Rust, some, more repaired in the past.

I'm still in California until Nov 6th when I'll actually be able to go and check it out.

Specs from the build: Car: Model: 240Z Year: 1973 Colour: BMW Navy Blue (crows feeted to hell) Front bar: Not standard, and broken on the left side Engine: L28: Block F54, Head P90 Compression: 7.4:1 Cam: Crow #58643 Intake: 212 deg 0.075" dur, 0.480" lift, Exhaust: 210 deg 0.075" dur, 0.495" lift Pistons: Standard Rods: Standard Crank: Standard Displacement: 2753cc (Standard).

Custom simple alu panel with a couple of Autometer gauges. The bad bits: The engine definitely needs a freshen up, and a proper L28ET oil pump. First outing around calder park (see link at the end) when the oil cooler first opened it, coupled with a standard L20B oil pump (previous owner installed) lowered the oil level sufficiently that with semi-slicks I lost oil pressure around turn 1 and ate the bearings. It needs new main bearings, and likely big-end bearings and a general refresh too. The body is not rust-free. Honestly it needs some tender love and care on the body. I don't know the exact condition until I get to the car in November. Thanks for looking, if anyone has read this far, I also have a few other parts I'll be putting up for sale, 2 4.4:1 R200 LSDs, 1 with the axles and CVs still (sale pending), a mint 1600 primered shell (6K in body receipts from bodyz by nick in Ballarat), a 5000Km old S15 SR20DET and 6-speed, 1600 adjustable rear x-member from datsport, and a few other things that I can't remember right now Dave https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BFqmn7IelI

Am doing that too lurchy! Just trying to hedge my bets in case nothing turns up here.

Jock, Thanks! Will do. Dat2kman, Will be getting new ball joints, but I nicked the lower control arms for my US project car a while back, so it's got none at the moment. ;-) Dave

Hey guys, Coming back to Oz to sell my turbo 240z (http://ozdat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6303) in a couple of weeks and need to replace the front lower control arms on her before she goes up for sale. Anyone got some lying around? Preferably in Vic? Thanks, Dave

I'm not sure I understand how people can bag out 53-681 for ``running his mouth'' when he was simply responding to attitude from an (apparently) well respected member (below) That might not be the kindest way to start a discussion on the topic: Insinuating that only those interested in ``pretty'' zeds or those with loads of cash should get to drive them. I can see how that'd rub people the wrong way. Does me. I say bring on the ugly zeds. My zed wants company. Dave

I want to hate it, and I do. What a waste of space. Dave
