Thanks for that. Sorry for all the questions - newbie. You said the wheels where the ones on the group buy...are they the Rota wheels? And what's the widest can you fit under a standard guard without lipping them (& adding ZG flares)? Looking at the pix, it seems your 8.5 fronts can fit under the normal guard, but the rear definately sticks out. Would a setup of 8x17 fronts & 8.5x17 rears fit under an un-flared guards? What offset for both would you recommend?

So what do you guys think the orange car that Phil Lee is selling should be worth? He's asking $35k for it now. Is it worth that? And on average, how much is a good semi-restored 240z should be worth?

This looks great! Since starting the project, how long has it taken you to this point so far? And how wide where your new wheels? I seriously have Zed envy with your car.

I'd like to come along too. But I'd have to get my Z first. I hope by then, I have one in my garage.

And if you check out their website, along with this car and a 240zg, they're listed them under "Vehicles in Stock", even though they clearly do not have any of them. Makes you a little apprehensive dealing with them when they work like this doesn't it?

Great site! Thanks for sharing ZZZ8. Now I know where to get bits and pieces for the Z.

Thanks gav240z A few more Qs. All pertaining to a Aussie delivered 1971 240z. 1. Does the car come with mph or kph speedo? 2. Does it come with the rear vision mirror located on the fenders as opposed on the door? (I've always thought the fender located rear vision mirrors where Japan only models) 3. Did this car came to Australia in 4 or 5 speed? Thanks again.

Hi guys I've been reading for a while now but new to posting into this forum (though not new to car forums). I'm about to embark on joining the Z fraternity - very soon hopefully. I'm now ready to plunge myself into classic Z ownership. While I'm into cars with moderate knowledge, I'm not really into building them. What I mean is, I know the basics and how things works, but if it requires any restoration, repairs, engine rebuild et al, I won't be able to do it without any expert guidance & assistance and access to tools. So I'm looking for a half decent 240z that does not require too much work (as I'll end up getting it done by someone else if it does). So finger's crossed, I come across one soon. I also intend to keep it original (both interior, body and engine). Perhaps the only change I'll do is for some modern fat rims (Watanabe lookalike). Anyway, what I wanted assistance on is knowing where to go or who to call to confirm if certain Z cars are original and match what the seller say they are suppose to be (ie. engine and chassis numbers match etc). As this point in time, I don't have a clue if a certain engine and chassis numbers match are legit. Or if a Australian compliance plate on a particular Z is legit. Ie. apart from the Aussie compliance plate, how else can I differentiate an Aussie delivered car to an import? Plus what should I look out for (in the body, engine, gearbox etc.) for possible hidden problems (ie. what does greasy underbelly between the drive shaft just south of the gearbox mean? Does it mean the gearbox has leaks?) Anyway, any help will be truly appreciated, and I hope to have an original classic Z soon - can't wait. Regards

Hi guys New to the AusZcar forum.... ...so is this car as legit as they say it is? And is it worth that much for what it is? Any known issue(s) with this particular car since it seems to be well known here? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Its hard to tell from the photo, but is this an auto?
