That's Chungy's old car: http://www.viczcar.com/forum/topic/14296-1973-240z-for-sale/

Thanks John for organising this, car felt really good on the drive today. Great to catch up with everyone and welcome to some new faces and Zeds. Shaun, did I see you with a go pro? if you could, please upload some video footage.

Sorry Sandy, been busy with work and not updated post. Parts have been sold. cheers, Mike.

This....what Doug said.

$78k does seem a bit high and I agree with you guys that I wouldn't pay that because....I already have a S30. But if you are zedless and want to buy in, that's a different mindset. It's a lot harder to put a value on these cars or compare between two particular zeds because in relative terms they are rare and conditions can vary greatly, amount of modification/restoration-too many variables. It's not like we are comparing 2015 model 370z's where a market value can be easier to ascertain. Seriously, redbook has '74 240Z at $18k, is that accurate? You have to realise the big bucks some of these sellers are asking for their cars may not be what the market is asking, but it is what the seller is happy to sell for and reflects their urgency/lack of urgency to sell. The asking price may come down, just a waiting game and in the meantime the owner continues to enjoy their zed. It might be a ploy to discourage tyre kickers as well. And I will be putting my zed up for sale with all the wheels and spares. $49k. cheers, Mike.

It's a L28 Gav.

I know you are after local supplier but I got these with my restored radio from the usa:

Thanks Pete for a great day! Good to catch up. What motor was in the GT40? So absorbed by the hand-formed body I forgot to ask about the motor.

Just be wary that the USA ones are different to ours. If anyone wants a USA one I have at least one....for free. USA one: Aussie/Jap one:

Change of venue....George's Mum's place.

Looks fantastic Pete, hope to make the next cruise!

All three leak, I regularly retighten screws, nuts where I can.

So after having these carbs for a couple of years now my verdict is that I should have gone for the OER's. While the car drives great on these carbs, they started to leak at places shortly after I wrote the below post. So for new carbs, that's disappointing. Has anyone here been using new OER's? I'd be interested in how they are holding up in terms of maintaining their tune and if they leak like my spanish webers? From what I saw on the Brown Hornet's new OER's I was impressed with what appeared to be much better quality in the casting etc. It was a shame because I had already purchased my webers and the AU$ was really good at that time.
