Absolutely awesome car! Sad to see it go but I'm sure it was fun. Is there a colour these cars dont look good in seriously? Well goodluck with the sale

Found this on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Datsun-240z_W0QQitemZ110267362484QQihZ001QQcategoryZ2030QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting Item number: 110267362484 The price is $17,500 and is under a classified price i.e. no bidding.

Hehehe I'm watching it now, it's that or watch Akira but so into the episode and it's getting late. I'm watching it on youtube, part 4 to episode 11: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-JgXsVxaRw&feature=related. That 70's zed film is weird btw "lets do it again at school?" double u, teeee, fffff

Hmmm you could be onto something. I remember seeing that 240Z on the wazregister.com for $4000. I email the seller and asked where the rust and overall condition etc. and he sent me a pdf file with all the images of rust, can post here somehow or might be easier if I email it to you. I guess for $6000 looks good but ignoring the rust and paint issues, to make it driveable i.e fix the 2nd gear synchro and brake problem, would anybody have an estimate?

Congratulations and welcome to the site that makes me wanna buy a Z car partly due to the great community here! *Fake cries*

I think he means CD as coefficient downforce or downforce coefficient which I think has something to do with the cars slipstream, being slippery is good for the cars balance and speed and carries a lower wind resistance. I hope I didn't just talk out of my arse

Sweet bargain! I'm jealous! Sorta real retro hairy chest nolstalgic coolness in that Zed. Those wheels remind me of the old Campagnolo wheels you would find on 70's italian sports cars

Good on ya mate, happy birthday! Love the random dog snap

Ah bugger, didn't read all the posts, car sold, still pretty damn awesome!

Hey guys, in car hunting I stumbled across this 260Z coupe on nissansilvia.com. Looks pretty awesome with glossy paint and muscle car like moulded flares and puts out 210rwkw, very nice! Here's the link: http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=232049&hl=datsun -GottaBeAbstract

No but I saw a 240Z or 260Z two seater in Cheltenham this morning approx time 11:00am. It was white and original I think and sounded good driving along, my jaw dropped such a good sunday/monday! The car was near cheltenham train station btw

I was reading the post about stickers and looking for a side on image of a 240Z to possibly come up with a design, sort of like the civic eg6 club: Then I came across this, a V12 240Z! I never heard of an engine conversion like that before! Btw I really love the front end treatment, it looks like an old european car from the 50-60's I forgot what they're called I think an OSCA, sorta looks like an Iso Griffo as well. Here's the link http://ca.geocities.com/dotdotdot@rogers.com/ On a personal note, I will maybe wait one more month for a zed otherwise buy something else because I still haven't got a car, the Barina is a write off, insurance is taking 5 months to pay and I haven't been on the road since that guy ran a red light and hit me 5 months ago!
