Updated. Block has been sonic tested and is a good candidate for big bore. Measurements in pic

Datsun L28 engine for sale. Was purchased for a turbo build I've now abandoned. I've only got one 240z, and it has a brand new 3.0L with efihardware itbs. Realistically I'm never going to build this up, so my loss is your gain. F54 Block. Acid cleaned and cracked tested. And sonic tested. Very good base to start with. N42 head. acid cleaned. Hardness tested. Heads, guides and valves all inspected. Crankshaft crack tested and in good condition. Comes with everything else that's in a short block. Perfect base to start from. Save yourself the hassle of buying a random block and spending $1500 to have all the testing and cleaning done, plus the run around, only to find out it's not useable. Trust me, I've done that. Can provide receipts for everything.

California Datsun "big tube" High performance 6-2-1 headers. Recently purchased locally but do not fit my application due to rectangular ports. Stupid mistake on my part(Mine are circular, N47) Tube sizes are: 1 & 5/8 runners into 2 & 1/4 into 2 & 1/2. Link to them on CD website here. They'd be about $1300 landed. https://www.californiadatsun.com/exhaust-system/headers/ Suit larger capacity L28 or high power, high revving L series engine. Painted with hi temp exhaust paint. Never installed. Can deliver Australia wide for between $30 and $60 with insurance, or pick up in Silvan Victoria. $850 plus postage.

Hi mate, what model and ratios is the gearbox?

If I find 240z ones then sure. But it looks like I might need to modify these ones to make them fit as 240z rails are like hens teeth

Chasing drivers seat rails for 240z. I have some 260z ones i thought were going to fit but alas no. Happy to buy from anywhere. Please help. Cheers Ben

Sold.

Now fully refurbished and available as a set of 3 if interested

Price drop to $68k. Unfortunately I need to move this on. This is a steal at this price. Considering how much money and time went into it.

Officially for sale now. Looking for $75K.

Selling a pair of s5 44s with 34mm chokes fully refurbished. Vapour blasted, replated and rebuilt with new gaskets. Was selling them previously in good condition but not reconditioned, decided to have them cleaned and sell them at same price. Bargain. Can sell with a 3rd unrefurbished for an additional $1000. I would have sold them as a set of 3 but it's a friend who has the 3rd one. Hit me up if you want more pics. $2500 Ben 0421565541

So as I'm moving to Silvan in January I've entered the Monbulk car show for Sunday too. Still coming to the BBQ but will be a bit later, close to 3pm. Will it still be going?

Hey mike, I've got a few if you're still looking

Haven't really got serious about selling it just yet. Move into new place in Jan, planning and permits for the extension will take a while so I don't need the coin immediately so will keep it for a while yet. Low key keeping an eye out for a fairlady/roadster project though...

Getting excited. I get mine back from Les this week. See you all there. Ben

Bought acreage near you mate so I may need the coin come settlement. But I'll only sell it if I get what I think it's worth, otherwise I'll sell other toys

1977 Datsun 260Z. No expense spared to build the best street 260Z in Australia whilst remaining faithful to the original design. This is the much sought after later model S30 shape with better doors and stiffer chassis of the US spec 280Z. The 77 is a rare car in RHD. Too many hours and dollars have been put into this car to even start to calculate it. Car has had a full bare metal restoration and has zero rust. Was cavity waxed when put back together and painted in original 305 Blue. Interior Bespoke custom trim in European Leather by leather experts BnB in Carrum. Everything in the car is leather and the carpet was a custom single piece. Original seats rebuilt with new padding and slightly reshaped. Hidden Alpine UTE 204DAB stereo and amps under the seats, with Mille Pro 69 speakers discretely positioned in the tool boxes behind the seats. This interior is immaculate and you will absolutely not find anything close to this. Engine Built by Les Collins at LCR (only the best) in October 2019 with fully rebuilt triple Mikuni 44phh's with 37mm chokes on a match ported Kameari manifold. Acid bathed F54 L28 block, honed and bored to 87mm with flat top pistons. ARP head studs. The N42 head has had heaps of work done. Chambers welded up to increase compression to 10.25:1, lots and lots of hours of porting and match porting and fully flow tested. Eibach valve sprints, special Eibach spring retainers, custom O/D Eibach spring retainers ARP HSK. KP Engine Gasket. ITG airfilter. ATI harmonic balancer and pulley. Billet TDC pointer etc Custom LCR ceramic extractors and 2.5” stainless exhaust all the way through. Sought after 2.9 ratio Z gearbox to an R200 diff. Engine has been built as a strong reliable streeter. When building I slightly sacrificed top end power for better driveability but this thing still puts out good numbers (ask as you shall receive). Engine was built in October and November this year and has less than 500km on it. $25,000 in receipts for the build. Suspension has rebuilt struts with specific weight oil by Len Brennan to his "targa spec" with King springs. Nolathane bushes throughout and whiteline sway bar. Genuine Simmons V4 wheels If you know how rare rust free Z's are and how much it costs to build a car like this, then you know buying anything on the market at the moment and getting it to anywhere near this would be well in excess of $100K. Any questions hit me up. won't reply to texts or emails. call me. 0421565541. Ben After $68000 Ono

I maxed out at $30k and was leading until the last minute or so. ☹️ Agree that was a steal for that price. I went and viewed it last week and it was pretty mint. Dash had no cracks, car was super straight. Annoyed at myself for putting my ceiling so low now.

Looks good to me mate. What time? Meet at the bottom of the 1 in 20? I'm coming from Bayside and can leave this area by about 1:15. Should be enough time for the roads to dry out. Gordo, you coming for a squirt?

Sweet. I put it on the facebook group. Jeff Beeman is in too

Weather on Saturday this week looks pretty good. I'll be going for a squirt if anyone is keen to come. Open to suggestions on where.....

Up for sale is a set of 3 matched Dellorto DHLA 40mm carburettors, with custom stainless steel cold air intake and redline manifold. These have been set up and tuned by Gordon Dobie of DatPerform and include his custom made idle jets. They will come fully rebuilt with new gaskets etc. These have been on a strong street L28 and are excellent, however I'm going Mikuni 44s purely because I can. Would be ideally suited anything from L24/26/28, but wouldn't be large enough for a race built engine with a super aggressive cam. Item will be available in a few weeks once my mikunis are ready. Let me know if you're keen. $2500 Cheers Ben

Yeah I have one left over from a pair I bought from Z car depot or somewhere. Hit me up if you want it.

Still looking please guys. I didn't lose it so im not paying so happy to pay a premium. Just need the part
