this made me really want a z http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoW05R43gRU

ahah i think bozo just means getting front lip + fender mirrors, common 510 body mods just happens to look very close to the hako. anyone in QLD had a look at this ? http://www.uniquecarsales.com.au/private/details/datsun-240z-1973-14204587 looks pretty clean!

Ahh thanks for the advice. I might just save my pennys and wait for that perfect car to come around. quality commands price so it may just be a case of saving rather than finding that golden "bargain"

Thanks Paul, (we have the same name ) I guess the yellow one would be more attractive. The price of the bluish one seemed a little too low so that could be something fishy about it. I'm also looking at 510's so if you know anyone selling one hook me up

The way i see it theres 2 categories Theres stanced then theres "Hellaflush", to try and put it in perspective i'll use some z pics i collected over the years haha Stance is not all about big wheels and deep dish and crazy offset. its about getting the car to look like its tough and means business. i do believe most people think its the former but would be more focused on getting a "flush" (a less aggressive version of hellaflush) look rather than good stance. Alot of the cars here and many many zed's have perfect stance. the way i see its a combo of the right wheel width, offset and tyre combo and height that achieves good stance. you dont need to the drop the car to the floor, you just need to get your offset right so that the wheel rim is almost if not in line with your wheel arch... wide rims always help as dish or concave can really enhance the look more than a flat face rim. From there its all about tyre combos, too stretched and you'll get too much of a wheel gap and need to lower the car alot, too fat and sometimes you can look like you're running on ballooned wheels you need just the right combo where you can fill up most of the gap without it looking too thin/small or too ballooned. Finally, you adjust the height to achieve that tough look. get it right and you wont sacrifice handling etc. (alot of the time attack and d1gp cars have great stance) stance, you can see its not slammed and theres still wheel gaps but the car just oozes toughness and means business. stance but geared more towards "flush" ie. no wheel gaps Hellaflush is the next step up from just a stanced car where you have the insanely dropped cars with big poked out rims, super stretched tyres, almost "Demon" camber and lowwww offset. The look they want to achieve is that the lines of the car flow straight to the wheels ie. no wheel gaps and not much tyre to be seen. its a very photogenic look, but that the same time you are sacrificing so much in terms of ride quality (scrapes and bottoms out on everything) the amount of guard work u need to do is crazy and you basically wreck the handling of the car with the height/camber you need to run. for australian roads you'd be silly to follow the hellaflush culture cause our roads are shiet, we've got speed humps and potholes everywhere. you'd be denting fenders and destroying the underbody of your car to achieve the look. heres an example of "hellaflush" in a zed. thats not that crazy unlike some other cars. personally, i'm all for stance. but its a fine art and you need to think about how to achieve it without sacrificing too much. most people have geared themselves more towards the hellaflush movement so you'll always get internet warriors saying that your car isnt low enough etc. build a car with the right stance they wont say a peep cause it just looks so tough. my 2 cents

thanks alot for all the info guys, it really helps clears thing up well the evo is now sold ... i mightve put the price too low cause it took less than a day to sell it. damn! looking at whats around now, the majority of cars are interstate. would it be hard to get these car registered ? im assuming that if they little to no rust it shouldnt be too much of a problem. Looking at some of your cars its hard to see why they wouldnt be lifers in your garage. I'd be more than happy to keep one for life once i get it to the image i have in my head haha. i came across these 2 so far the look isnt quite there but that can changed, the ad suggests it might be in pretty good nick and its packing a turbo http://www.justauto.com.au/justcars/buy_and_sell/for_sale/JCM3253586 i'm pretty sure i've seen this for cheaper on another site. it looks clean and restored http://www.justauto.com.au/justcars/buy_and_sell/for_sale/JCW2754838? what do you guys think ?

about 14k ono mate.

Oooo I would love to see your 280 zed83! Is there a build thread on here? a picture of my current car

Hey all New member here! My name is Paul from Sydney and I'm currently in the market for a Z. Stumbled across this forum a couple of times in my brief search and thought it would be good to sign up and say hello and start trolling the for sale section I currently have my mitsu evolution 5 for sale which will hopefully fund my future z. I'm hoping for a 240 or 260 but may also consider the 260 2+2's. If you guys could enlighten me on the major differences between the 2+2's and the other z's that would really help me in my choice! Cheers
