As title, why are 240k 2 doors popular now? There is a few people on gumtree with wanted ads for them but no for sales. yes these are leading questions - I have a "rough" but fixable one and have no idea if I should keep it (ie keep it in the shed) or sell it now. I'm more of a z fan anyway - so I cant see myself restoring it. thought guys? --- its nice to comeback to these forums, I havnt been here much since selling my last 240z about 4 years ago ;(

Thanks for the comments guys Jeez , i had no idea rechroming was so expensive thanks dave for that link- its great to see there is repo bumpers for these

If i went the sr20 route would the standard u20 head and gearbox sell for much? Its a ramdom question but does rechroming cost much(bumpers etc)?

Would it be seriously uncool to put a SR20 into a sr311? I like original old datsuns but depending on which parts are missing ie I think the solexs carbs are gone -a modern transplant probably would be less expensive. sigh- decisions

hi, sorry to bring up a old topic but... Are sr311's worth the same now? Ive found a 1970 sr311(last year of production) that needs restoring. A few parts are missing including the block but it does have the u20 head which "should" go on a h20 block(urvan) to complete the engine. I'm unsure about buying this.. but have always liked the 2000's look. I know, I'll have a look in the other datsun forums mentioned. thoughts?

He has done a fresh paint job on the 260z 2 seater - Ive only seen photos but it looks really good. He has removed the rb20det for the paint and has a rb25det in it now. Its still not finished but will be a hot car when done. Plus he still has various other zed projects on the go. BTW started a webpage for him - WWW.ZBITZ.COM.AU Its only a start(a lil rough) but features a sexy car - I think you will agree. Since having the r33 for over a year, I have come to like the rb25det - if/when I do another zed I will use one or a rb30/25/26det - anyone know whats the rules with that are ? But saying that, triple 45's with trumpets w/ big cam on a L done sound incredible.

thats awesome! more -(longer) youtube vids please. if you havnt tried already, Styler automotive(bridge st - near the bridge) used to have lots of spare weber jets- I got a whole set off him for my old weber fed 240

I saw the old girl driving past the other day.. Any progress? If you get sick of it you can always swap me,it for a r33.. (only joking - not really - kinda serious)

looks sweet neuby

some very cool stuff there!! To help tune those webers check out: http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php?/topic/28318-weber-jetsall-who-live-for-their-triples-please-read-this/ There is 18 pages of setups with jets/tubes etc- I started that topic way back in 2004 when I had my 45's on a prev 240z-- *sigh* I miss 240s

I sold my 240z to get a r33- not that long ago on these forums.. Most folks told me not too, as the skyline would go down in value/are too common etc I really like my r33 - but in different ways to the 240z(or the 5 other s30's ive owned).. You really cant compare them - as they are two very very different things but both are seriously good cars. Try to sell the r33 on carsales/SAU(skyline forums) and buy the best 240z or 260z 2 seater you can.

the ITB setup is really impressive..and using rb26 gear keeps it all in the family. The new rails look great - I know what your saying - too many originals/and std repo rails are too weak and crush on a jack. awesome work! utube vids are a good touch

hey Neuby, Ill have a look - somewhere ,from long ago, I had some pics of L6 porting that rebello did. If I find it Ill email them to you, it give good ideas on what works on the l6. My brother ZBITZ has just bought a rb25det for one of his project s30's, so he probably has a couple of p90 heads if you wanted to go that way. Think he has a p90a head - the hydraulic lifters one - if you wanted to do something different. Hope the car is progressing nicely..

----Deposit taken---- The new owner seems like he'll look after her. I'm very sad to see it go.

r33's are not that bad are they?
