Sold

A few people have asked about the written off status, so I ran the Vin and payed for a certificate

Model: 1975 260z 2 seater Location: Coolangatta (10min from Gold Coast Airport) Price and Payment Conditions: $34,000 ono, If I can't get what I need may part out Item Condition: Full Disclaimer! Car went through a flood 10mths ago, I've stripped the interior, had the engine and carbs flushed, drove it up the street a couple times and had someone spend 2 days detailing it! Since then I've replaced and upgraded the suspension and brakes. Spare gearbox went under but was drained and fill with oil is in unknown condition. Car has a clean title, NOT a write-off Main things to sort are electrical and gearbox Ive owned this car for over 15years and slowly been building it. Since flood just can't get the motivation back to finish it so I moved onto another car. A lot of money has gone into it, at last count well over 60k. I know you can never recoup that, but not going to let it go for a silly price! Yes I could throw it all back together in a day and sell it as a near complete car but at least you can inspect it properly What I can think of off the top of my head Sand Blasted, Rotisserie Rust repair and Paint Warm L28 With (with rumoured from trusted friend to have 135kw rear wheels, no dyno sheet) Matching numbers block also included Triple 45 Webers kitted to suit, ITG Filter and Trumpets MCA Coilovers Australian made https://mcasuspension.com/suspension Techno Toy Tuning https://technotoytuning.com/nissan/240z Wilwood big brake kit front and rear with Park brake suit 15 inch or bigger wheels Wilwood 1 inch master and bias control Control arms front and rear Roll centre Adjuster Rack bushes AU$4400 Plus Freight and Import Tax All new suspension and steering bushes New Glass rubbers professionally installed Dash Reskin and 2 spare dashes and steering column with switches that didn't get flooded SAAS Racing seats Retrimmed Included factory seats in average condition New carpet kit Interior plastics good condition Taillight surround and taillights in good condition no cracks New Stainless bumpers and custom mounts Rota 17x8 +4 with 4 brand new 235/40/17 federal semi slicks Lots of spares including all factory parts I removed and collected over the 15 years Spare rust and accident free bonnet spare front guards Sure theres lots of other things thats been forgotten Interior photos are from before flood, everything else is post flood Flood Topic http://www.viczcar.com/forum/topic/15995-gutted/ Build thread http://www.viczcar.com/forum/topic/6933-potters-260z/ Only advertised here at the moment Cheers Guys

Not Really a purists Z http://www.speedhunters.com/2018/01/the-purists-fairlady-z/

No worries Peter anytime! I will probably just get back into a few hillclimbs and sprints to start with, then maybe a couple days at Morgan Park or QR nothing to serious don't want to bend it! Heard the fibreglass clams are a tad expensive! Yeah it pretty much is what they say, a registered go kart, no power steering, air con barely works and only electronic driver aid is ABS. Just how I wanted it!

It is a dream to drive on the road, can't wait to take it to the track

After much consideration I have to decided to purchase my dream car and sell my Z. When I first purchased a Z 15 years ago they were a cheap car that I enjoyed working on over the years. Now with values up towards the price of the car I always wanted and the car going under water in the flood wrecking my motivation and breaking my heart. I still do love the Z but the wife said I could only have 1 toy. My Dad sold the 2+2 already and my made an offer on my Z so I'm just waiting for him to come up with the cash. At least I will still get to drive it!! The new toy is a 2008 Lotus Elise, mid engine, rear wheel drive, 850kg wet Thanks everyone for the help and support over the years, my dad may even continue the build thread and I will probably still check up every now and then to see what happens. Thanks!

American 2+2 And it looks good... http://www.speedhunters.com/2017/11/gas-monkey-garage-goes-jdm/

I think thats what I will do, don't really want to do another gearbox unless I spend the money and do it properly (stronger and better ratios)
