PB260Z

Thanks Gav. The decision to sell was not an easy one to make, but I built the car to be driven and I just haven’t been using it due to work and other commitments. Yes it is a car that you can just jump in and enjoy the drive - I will miss it. Cheers PB

Hi Gav That looks so much better, amazing what some elbow grease can do. FYI some of the oil leaks may sort themselves out (temporarily) once all the seals get lubricated again. Cheers PB

Model: 260Z 2+2 Location: Sydney North Price : $22,500 Item Condition: Excellent Body: All rust removed and painted by Lurch at Classic Auto Fabrications Mechanical: Running L28E + 5speed (280zx) and R180 (3.9) Registration: Registered in NSW with the L28 I have decided it is time to sell my Bus. It is ’77 260 2+2 with the running gear from a ‘81 280ZX in it. I built this car to be long distance tourer and as such it has A/C (with Kia fan), Recaro seats, Replica Compe wheel, H4 headlamps (upgraded wiring) and all the gauges work, yes even the clock, twin thermo fans . When installing the L28E I used genuine 280Z (USA) parts so this is effectively a RHD 280Z and looks 100% factory. The build thread tells the story https://www.viczcar.com/forums/topic/9447-pb’s-77-260z-22-rebuild/ (Some of the early photo links are broken, I can supply detailed photos on request) Very reliable, has done a couple of Melbourne and Tamworth return trips and never missed a beat. This is not a show car and was never intended to be. I drive it in the rain and in traffic. The not so good: Needs a dash reskin, has a small paint defect near the hatch (about the size of 5c piece), the back seat top is stuffed (I have it covered with a black towel) & the stereo not connected, just couldn’t bring myself to cut the door trims. Will come with the original engine, a set of 260Z alloys with new tyres and some spares.

Locked, Additional comments are adding no value to this thread. It has become “he said - she said” cheers PB

Awzome purchase. Lots of fun just waiting to be had. Cheers PB

Looks really good at that height.

Hi Not sure, but it was the location on the original motor in my '77 Bus. There are certainly tidier places to put it, and I have been tempted to relocate it to somewhere less visible. Cheers PB

Hi I am going to have to give this a miss, real shame even got the old bus looking all shiny. We have a family event that I just can't avoid. Have a great drive - Don't forget that the HWP are having a blitz on drivers and riders the Nasho at the moment Cheers PB

Very nice - I have serious “Shed Envy”

Hi Alex, Welcome aboard. Nothing wrong with preferring the 2+2, there are a few of us who prefer the Bus. With a little luck she won’t be too hard to get started, they are indeed an engine that seems to recover from hibernation well. You should be able to find all the info you need on these pages - if you can’t find what you need just ask. Cheers PB

Hi Ordered some parts for Subaru Brumby I working on and got a surprise when I saw brand that arrived. @Cozza started a new business ?

Great Idea - Pinned Hopefully will be able to make it Cheers PB

Hi Sorry no can do this weekend, and next weekend I will be in Tamworth Cheers PB

Hi The Jetronic system used in the 280ZX does not allow for an O2 Sensor or similar. It relies on airflow, throttle position and engine temperate to manage the injection Running rich could be a couple of things I would start with the cold start sensor that triggers the 7 injector Their is a workshop manual with a trouble shooting guide in the donating members section. Cheers PB

Hi I think I have late model 2+2 one in the shed. I have no idea if it is suitable for your application though ? Cheers PB

The interior is in amazing condition and very clean considiering the colour, blue would get dirty pretty easily.

Hi From memory, The third line goes to the charcoal canister. cheers PB

Rule 1 of car restoration : Never ever count the cost

Hi You are not alone, most of us know all about "Hidden Rust" Take your time and do the job properly, it is worth the effort. Cheers PB

I can't help but think that you didn't finish that comment

Hi Jeff No. 134 is coming along well and the quality of work is fantastic. Cheers PB

Hi As far as I know, you can only do that by clearing the history. see the image, yes that is iPad but the iPhone is the same browser

Hi Jeff The Z is looking awesome - well done. Cheers PB

Maybe, Maybe not - the last Falcon to have the 351C “T” on the spec plate & Top Loader combo. Some people say the modern XY-GT. I was not all surprised by the result. I imagine the XE Falcon guys think the current 240 prices are silly.
