I had a look at this car, dont think he's a member - probably a lurker though. From what he'd said it sounded like he'd done a lot of work on it in a fairly short time. Still seemed like a bit of a project, I saw it a bit over a month ago though - so maybe it's had more stuff sorted. Did look great from a bit of a distance though (as in the photos), just when you got up close you could see all the little problems.

Thanks everyone! I'll look into that, but i've seen that guide before and it seems like it might be the way to go. The clock will come after a few other things though, like the tach isnt working at the moment either. Almost, it will soon be my only car but technically public transport has been my daily driver for the past few years so it will essentially be a weekend car. I work in the inner city and study at UTS (which is ~5 mins walk from Central station) so I take the train every day. Thanks! Glad to hear that, i'm really happy with it.

Hi - time to make an introduction thread! I'm Brenton, 20 years old and been into Nissans since getting interested in cars. I've been a fan of the S30s since seeing/reading about them and for a few years a nice Z has always been in the back of my head as what i've termed my "realistic dream car". I lurked on the for sale section here, and on gumtree + car sales for the last few months, even briefly flirting with the idea of a 2+2 before pulling the trigger on the 260Z 2 seater Curtis had for sale. I plan to keep it in good condition, sort out any little problems (maybe even the clock!) and potentially make some tasteful and ideally period correct and reversible modifications - got my eyes on triple webers, maybe a Nardi classic to replace the tattered wheel etc.

I think I remember seeing that yellow one for sale a few weeks ago listed from somewhere in the Blue Mountains. Remember the colour and fact that it had a l28 turbo. Looked like it needed a bit more work than it does in those photos.

Thanks! Yeah, I plan on turning up to events so you should be able to see it eventually. I will make a proper introduction thread when I am able to take some of my own photos of the Z

zjockey made a thread for that one
