@gav240z Language is no barrier when it comes to Zds lol

Just the motor is worth 20k now

I am Without Speech! The one thing that is bothering me is the bonnet release cable. I dont know what to do to hide it. Any options out there?

Hi everyone just a fresh update on the 240Z build: ☆ Cold side fabrication is wrapped up and everything’s finally in place. Went with a Pac Performance shielded air filter ☆ Bosch drive by wire system installed ☆ Deleted ITBs using Powertune ITB delete kit ☆ Intake’s been shaved and holes filled, making it ready for a slick powder coat finish. ☆ Wastegate now plumbed back ☆ Rear handbrake assembly got completely custom’d after missing parts held things up shoutout to Stewart Wilkins for fabbing new pieces. ☆ Accelerator upgrade in place, complete with a DBW (drive by wire) switch. Can't wait to see the response Going to order injectors, going with 1600cc Still waiting on the diff to come back with the Kaaz 2.5way installed. I had a chat with Stewart and he suggested detuning it by 50% and doubling up on the plates running it as an 8-plate instead of 16 to take some of the aggression out of it. Will be interesting to see how the Kaaz behaves once fitted… not exactly looking forward to the clunking on tight turns though. Could have gone with a Hypertune or Plazmaman intake but wanted to have the Nismo intake look IMO looks much better and period correct A few sensors have been ordered including a Haltech Can Keypad for Mo Power Mode amd Eboost 3. Interesting to see all the options now out there to fiddle around with settings. Until next time, hopefully mechanical all done and wiring to be booked in. Have also booked in Engineer to inspect the car..... wow can't believe its nearing engineering stage

Had a good think about this, although its tempting its not worth the money they are asking. Haven't seen the old ones selling for crazy prices as investment purposes Could put money towards the actual car but everyone is different. Im more of an Omega kinda guy

Hi Guys I'm look for a rear handbrake equalizer, tensioner, bolt and spring for the 240z If happy to pick up Sydney or pay postage if interstate Photos for reference Thanks

It's crazy how time flys, would love to see progress on your beast

Hey lads, hope everyone’s been well! It’s been a good two years since my last post. Unfortunately, a family health situation changed my plans, but praise God everything is well now and life is getting back to normal. I had Andrew from Motorsport Solutions in Castle Hill sort out all the braided lines, fuel lines, turbo lines basically, lines, lines, and more lines! His workmanship was top notch. It was a bit costly, but looking at the quality, I’m glad I had him on the job. The car’s finally out of its garage hibernation and off to the mechanic to finish up all the nitty gritty bits that my big fingers would probably break anyway (and I’d end up sending it out regardless haha) There’s a long list I handed to the workshop, and they’ve been progressing smoothly. I’ve had to order a heap of parts 180amp alternator, starter motor, PRP timing kit, PRP pulleys, ATI Super Damper, timing belts, and more. Thought I didn’t need much… definitely wrong there! Still on the list: I need to order the tailshaft, sort out the Hypertune intake, drive-by-wire full kit for the RB26 ITB setup, and track down a 370Z pedal. Also need to grab a flex sensor and a few other bits, these parts never end! Anyway, it’s going to be an awesome journey getting this 240Z over the line and on the road. Cars is very dusty and needs a massive detail when done. Until the next post, enjoy your weekend, everyone! VID-20250619-WA0037.mp4 VID-20250619-WA0036.mp4 VID-20250619-WA0035.mp4

I need a roof skin for my 72 HQ statesman. Bloody vinyl tops of the 70s

That sold cheap

Considering what I have spent to date 70k looks more attractive. Still spending lol

Motha Russia

I have one in the shed if interested. Were are you located?

Its funny the real estate market is picking back up due to no stock and heaps of buyers but the classic car market has good stock but no buyers Tell that to the RBA........

If I wasn't building mine would definitely have bought this. Not far from my place

Nice looking car, close to my place.

Th Orange one for 120K seems about right as long as the restoration was done properly. 90k to 100k is about the price for a full restoration including running gear, wiring, interior, suspension, wheels/tyres import over night parts from Japan.

So is the expectation 30K as is?

From my experience I think Shannons is quite good looking after their customers

God bless Holland

Yeah NSW is ridiculous, cant even have fender mirrors
