It's this car. Which was recently posted here in the forum: http://www.viczcar.com/forum/index.php/topic,16270.new.html

I saw this too. It looks clean enough, but the LPG setup put me off. Not sure how easy/hard it is to revert back to stock. But if it weren't for the LPG, this looks like a clean car, particular in the interior. And it has A/C. Great if it still works.

It also depends if the numbers match. And early model (low numbered) cars seem to be valued more by a lot of people who wants to keep them original.

Do you have any pix of the engine bay? Are the numbers matching? Thanks

Yeah, I was confused with it as well. Two photos of cars and with an $8000 price listed in the description, yet $3990 on the ad. Hmmm.

New photos posted for that $3990 240z @ Ballina. http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/private/details.aspx?R=8707255&__sid=127A5E3CC7EF&__Qpb=true&Cr=4&__Ns=pCar_RankSort_Int32%7c1%7c%7cpCar_PriceSort_Decimal%7c1%7c%7cpCar_Make_String%7c0%7c%7cpCar_Model_String%7c0&keywords=&__N=1216%201247%201282%201252%204294966615%204294966408&seot=1&__Nne=15&trecs=14&silo=1011

BWAAAAHAHAHA!

Someone got a very good bargain. I wonder if there are stories like that in Aust?

I never said we didn't. I was referring to the fact that there are sooo many of them for sale in Japan. Not surprising realliy considering they sold like hotcakes over there.

If you think that was good, you should check these Zs for sale in Japan. http://www.j-spec.com.au/dealer/1975-Nissan-Fairlady_Z-Other-3443379.html http://www.j-spec.com.au/dealer/1971-Nissan-Fairlady_Z-240Z-3337401.html http://www.j-spec.com.au/dealer/1978-Nissan-Fairlady_Z-Other-3266629.html http://www.j-spec.com.au/dealer/1971-Nissan-Fairlady_Z-Other-3303736.html http://www.j-spec.com.au/dealer/1973-Nissan-Fairlady_Z-240ZG-3499233.html

I wonder what the reserve price is?

Fixed the link. Click here.

I wish it was the real thing. But I’m afraid, I’m still a few dosh short, now that I got the Clubman. I got it from this Ultimate Hobbies @ Parramatta for $279 - http://ultimatehobbies.com.au/store/specials.php?osCsid=633f77e2360a510a3b8e01ffe7f822f3

...err not exactly. But a 1/10 RC version. While I save up for my first REAL 240z, I got this over the weekend to keep the dream alive. One day I will have the real thing. So until that day, I'll enjoy this in the meantime. Below is exactly what I got. And if I do everyting right when putting it together, it should look just like it. Though not sure if I'll paint it orange or red. Its a true 1/10, hence why the detail and proportion is so close to the real thing. You can also get a Datsun 1600 body or an AE86.

I have a feeling somehow if the price of this Z doesn't go high, it will be pulled out from eBay. Citing that it's advertised elsewhere etc. I've had so many experience, where I thought I'd get a bargain only to get a notification at the last moment, that the buyer has cancelled the auction.

That one is a case of, "Would you like some metal with that rust"?

Opps Doh! My bad. I thought I read it as L24. Note to self "open eyes more".

Does it have matching numbers?

Which silver one? There are three or four listed at the moment.

That looks like a base for a project car. If only I had the skills to restore a car :-\

My first ever Tamiya RC was the Hornet. It was tough as nails but it's solid rear axel was prone to bottoming out or hitting things when doing jumps etc. I had to at least replace mine twice. Then I upgraded to the Frog, with its more advanced fully independend suspension. Though the Hornet still has a special place in my all time favourite RCs.

Man, that brings back memories. I still have the Wild One, Hornet, Frog, Monster Beetle, Hot Shot, a monster truck and another buggy that I've forgotten the names of, and Tamiya's first ever petrol engine RC - which name also escapes me. They gave me hours of entertainment, with my friends and I making tracks on every available land in our area. We're also lucky I lived near a beach with lots of sand dunes suitable for jumps. Lots of travelling on weekends too to RC Race Competitions. Those were the days. Though not sure where they are exactly now. Most likely all stored somewhere at my parents garage complete with their original box and radios.

Clicky, Clicky

Good luck with the project. Looking forward to following the progress.

Stewart, what year is it?
