hay mate sorry oi didn't get back to ya. but i had to invest in a apartment - long story short i can out out cash for next car, but i'll be after a 240/270 etc in about 2months time. if ya still selling it, i'll take it off ya hands. provided its as good as the one which just sold

Sounds like me. But I need to get a lot more info regarding getting RB engine registered. So That might take a while, as I can't be bothered dealing with another major mistake. If all is well, I'll come have a serious look at this car.

Yeah thanks guys, seam like a lot of people are keeping the Z engines. I was really opting for the skyline engine as I already have a worked one. do you mean this revrend http://www.revszed.synthasite.com/ ? because I can't find any decent (big) pictures

Kind of shattered my dreams of a trubo... As I can't find a pre 74 for under 15k, come to think of it, there isn't any under 25k in Vic. Well do it still hold true for say a RB30DE (non turbo)? Yes, that's what I'm asking, if the cars have common rattles or squeaks or low build quality. It's because frankly I'm tired of the rattles and squeaks in the R31 skyline, and that car is later then the Zs. So plan is to move the worked engine over and genuinely have a car with less old car habits. Looks a lot of work mate. What's involved in modifying and what's the budget? Don't know if it's worth it, although I don't like the rear 1/4 look...

Thanks for the fast reply guys. I'm not really worried about the interior, nor am I worried about the engine. As I'm planning on putting the 3L DOHC in it. If anything, I'm worried about compiling it with VicRoads. Is that fairly easy? I'm planing on making the car my daily, after the first few mods. Such as newer engine, flared guards and wide offset rims, coilovesr all around (if they can be fitted) minor bolton bake upgrade, bucket seats, new dash and interior bits. It probably will not see much track action. Maybe after I get to the turbo conversion, if I do... How's this car feel when used as an everyday car? As far as family practicality, police attention on an modified Z, and parts availability for servicing. I'm also thinking the 2-seater chassis looks better as I haven't seen many worked 2+2 260Z. Any one got some link of nice 2+2 260Zs?

I joined as I'm a big fan of the Z cars. I currently own a R31 RB30DE skyline and a 180SX SR20DET. Live in Melbourne and I stuff around cars for a hobby. I'm in the market for a 240Z, but I think I might have to settle for a 260Z. Sub reason I joined is to ask the difference between a 240 and a 260. So far I have gathered that: * Different tailights * Indicators on the 240z are on the rear quarter, on the 260z, they are on the back * Front indicators are larger on the 240z. * Dash is different to. What I'm concerned about is that the rear side windows are different and the slant of rear back window is different, which gives the distinct look of the 240z from the side. Is this true? Apart from this, are is there anything else?
