Hey Gareth, if is the flares your asking about you are welcome to come past mine and have a look, I got my flares from Jake, and they work well. Let us know, I'm in Doncaster east

Hey Guys, So, this is my second Zed, the first one was a gold 260z 2+2. I recently took that car back to bare metal and found some nasty surprises! I spoke to a couple of people, and they all said it was probably not worth spending the money to fix it all up as I wont realise much of the value, plus I wasn't really too keen on spending heaps as it still wasn't the 240z that I had always dreamed of. So I began the hunt to find a suitable and affordable 240z or 260z. I bid on a couple of cars on ebay, but with no luck that was before I came across one on this forum, it had been priced dropped from 5k so i thought i would jump on it. The seller was also a pretty nice guy, and hook heaps of photos of all the rusty areas. So that is where the story begins.... Ill have pictures up soon of the car, but in short its a red 71 240z, (Auto ) with a non matching engine. The original colour of the car was however a lime green. Anywayz so the plan is to build a nice daily driver, on a uni kids budget. I plan on building the car in 3 stages, just to give me some time to save and learn! Stage 1 is the essentials. - Rust Repair & total car in primer. - Rubber kits all around - Bushings - Suspension (Rear) & Transfer the front end from the 260z - Engine Swap from the 260z (recently rebuilt with extractors) - Carpet - Have the car assessed and see what more mechanically needs to be done. Stage 2 the next step once the car is on a club membership - Total car painted in a midnight blue - Wheels/ tires - Sounds system (4 speaker and 2 sub system) - New console - Reskin dash - Fuel system upgrade - Paint all chrome to satin black - window tints Stage 3 - Coil over system - Triple Webber's - manual conversion - Any other little things. So yeh, let me know if there are any other things I should consider and let me know where i stuff up Cheers for reading! Here is the Start:

Cheers guys for all the help. So pretty much the front two are interchangeable as long as I replace the whole thing? If that's the case what would be the best thing for the rear? Would I need to get whole new springs and shocks, Well the objective is to have it as a reliable road car lurch.

Hey guys, looking for some advice on my new 240z Currently the stuts are stuffed and was wondering what people would recommend as affordable replacements. Also if anyone could recommend me bushings kits. I was thinking of buying the ones from eBay USA. Also currently I have a 260z 2+ 2 and was gonna just use them for the front two, and was wondering what people thought of that? Let us know Help would be appreciated.

Was this the Shell that was sold in Ballerat?? But looks like a good shell, although it would probably be best to take it all back to bare metal and again just to make sure....?

And agno has used them and found the quality good, and everything fitted well for him

Hey retro z http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/SWR01A/34-2999 That's the link, I placed an order in for me and agno, what agno said was that if it's 1000k or under you shouldn't have any issues with. Pm me your car details, cause I probably have room for one more set under the 1k limit.

Ahkk that makes sense. Ill send a PM to Agno and see what he has to say. I know Rare parts has them, but its $730 bucks. There is a company on ebay USA that has them for 300 bucks plus 80 bucks postage. so yeh not really sure back to the drawing board again I guess

Oh right. But you were happy with the product?? Reckon its worth a gamble?? Cheers for the feedback, if you know any other place then let us know

Hey guys, Just wanted to know if anyone have used these guys before? and what they thought?? http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/34-2999 Cheers

Hey guys, Seems to be slim pickings out there. But im looking to buy a 2 seater 260z. not too fussed about the condition as well as a majority of it is there. let us know if anyone is looking to sell Can buy in the next week or so Cheers Vivek

how did you come across this car? if you dont mind me asking....?

Nice base, if your gonna spend 2k may as well give it ago spray painting it yourself, never know, you might just enjoy it But look forward to seeing this build! Btw any chance was this a car from sydney ?

Where is this car located? And when can I come down and have a looksy let us know Vivek

Hey guys, I've saved up some more cash, and was wondering if anyone had any 260z or 240z for sale. Pm please. Cheers

Yeh I was thinking about it. I was gonna buy just the shell and transfer as much as I can from the 2+2 into it. But I think I might sit on for a bit and save up more $$ and wait for the right one ..... There was the black shell that sold a couple of days ago, and was pretty gutted that I lost it. But yeh guess I'm back to waiting again. But really like the look of this one. It looks well balanced and everything. cheers for the phone convo The other day Sam, made me want a 2 seater and I thought about it a bit more. And that would be sick! I still have a year and a bit left on my p's so still ages to wait for turbo!

Love this car, awesome more cause its a fellow P Plater!! Also do you mind popping up some pictures of the back of the car? Im still trying to figure out what to do with mine. Cheers

Is this still for sale??

Hahah man that would suck! But yes I tried calling that number a couple of times and it went to a message bank. Perhaps if there is an address? I might pop down and see if he is still doing it...?
