Got it - thanks Jeff

https://www.shannons.com.au/club/enthusiasts/ricki78/garage/1971-datsun-240z-sports/ The largest capacity L-series I have heard of previously is a 3.1 or 3.2 litre, using a (selected) L28 block and an LD28 crank. Can anybody enlighten me as to how (if) this capacity is achievable? (are you there C.A.F.?)

They are 240Z seat covers, so not original to the car.

it's 901 silver - the rest is overspray

I should have added that it was listed for $25,000

This was listed on Gumtree today, but sold before I could look at the ad. Did anybody else get any details or photos? The location was 'Golden Square Bendigo City'

I don't know anything about that option, but it's similar to the Pertronix 1761 (there is a version II too) If you put "site:www.viczcar.com pertronix" into your favourite search engine, you will see plenty of posts on here about it.

1970 Datsun 240Z #306 $87,000 Perth WA https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/perth/cars-vans-utes/1970-datsun-240z-hs30/1258178957?ea=15668153&utm_source=trigger&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=saved_search

I like that it has the roof pillar badges in the same place as the original and the Z logo looks identical. If I heard correctly, the engine is a 3 litre twin turbo, and I assume that it's a V6.

Does the plan to achieve originality include deleting the blinker repeaters from the front guards and sourcing the correct (all white) front blinkers?

Virtually everything on this car has been refurbished or replaced (using OEM parts where possible) too many parts to list but do have lists I can supply to genuine parties. Sitting on genuine refurbished (Powder coated) Koenig Rewinds in Matt black. 280zx turbo motor and head has been completely rebuilt, perfect dash, professionally rebuilt seats and covers as per original spec. This is the first RHD S30 car built in 71, chassis number 501. I also have a 1970 240Z so have decided to part with this one to finance purchase of another classic car. Can be purchased as is for $48k with minor finishing required (Chrome the rear bumper, refit interior, carpet set etc), or I can finish and put over the pits (price subject to negotiation) Please note, more has been completed since these photos were taken but these were the latest photos I had available."
