Yo-Yo

^is the red one a member on here or does anyone know of the car? Just from the photos I can see bonnet doesn't line up, engine bay is different colour. Need to ask the seller if dash is cracked. I'd want to see more pics of the interior & better pics of the wheels & brakes. Is there anything else I should look out for?

I have seen the red one now you posted that link hehe What things would need to be addressed? I'm fairly handy with tools and maintenance but body repairs & rust are not my forte. I'll actually be putting a bid on that one, what other questions should I be asking the seller? I noticed the bonnet doesn't quite line up + every time I see a dash mat on an ad I can't help but wonder if there are cracks underneath the pretty mat Thanks again Gav

Hi Gav, Really appreciate the constructive comments unlike the others before you. Wow guys way to come across as @ss-holes, well done. Most 240z's locally I see are on club or historic rego (or used & set up for competition etc.) & 260z so far are all 2+2 which I definitely don't want. The one's I am interested in are snapped up straight away by someone else. I am well aware of the age & condition these cars can be in. Gav, before starting this thread I was in talks with a Craig from DIYImport (said he started J-spec) is this the same guy? https://www.facebook.com/diyimport I've budgeted max $30k including broker fee's landed & complied. I'm looking at Japan & US as well as local offerings in the meantime. If I do decide to go a US car I'll keep it LHD, I've had plenty of experience driving LHD when I was living overseas.

Hi Guys, I'm considering importing a 240z/260z as none of the local offerings are grabbing me at the moment. I'm really open to the idea of importing a LHD Z from the states but just wondering if you or anyone you know has done so before? Were there any major specification differences between US/Japan models, apart from the steering wheel & rack of course. I've had plenty of experience driving LHD but never an LHD in a RHD country, that would take some getting used to I think. Anything else I should look out for? Thanks Guys!

Man this is exactly what I'm after. Wish someone would hurry up & buy my car already

JDM yo, need to get serious about selling my skyline with these examples popping up from time to time http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/datsun-240z-1972-14939177?base=1216&vertical=Car&cr=2&eapi=2&__N=1246%201252%201247%201282%201216%201622&num=15&silo=Stock&Range=Seats%3aMin%2c2&items=%5bMake%3aDATSUN%2cModel%3a240Z%3bMake%3aDATSUN%2cModel%3a260Z%5d&sort=default

The force*ahem* I mean the fibreglass is strong in this one^

I love this site. Thanks for the responses I'm not going to be buying a 240/260z anytime soon unless I sell my skyline first. But just reading through the posts on here helps me learn what to look out for. Looking by the engine & similar suspension setup indeed seems to be 50rta

I'm interested in this car if the owner still wants to sell. I need to buy something as I've just sold 2 of my cars, I thought at least I'd have one of them to drive while the other was sold but both were sold within days of each other hehe I'm in NSW but I'm sure something can be worked out
