Awesome build I agree

20K will just, if your lucky just, get you in the door of owning a "so called" decent S30 shell (until you strip it down and get it dipped or blasted) is unregistered, an auto and in need of another 40K in body work and some parts. Then the rest depending on where you want to go with your Z. There are good examples at the 60K mark and you would still need to put in $$$ to get it looking to what you really like (even at that price there would be rust). If you want a nut and bolt restored S30 then diggggg deepppp Either you spend the money or sit back, admire the Members Projects Journal page or Google Images under the search Datsun 240z.

We just need to keep on pushing the prices up Gavin. We are not selfish in doing so lol

Funny story about this car. Vinh originally posted this up on Facebook for $100k. I spoke with him managed to get him to take down the listing and relist it with more detail as to the work that had been done. He has spent a heap of money on getting the car to were it is today, also convinced him to bump up the price. He is quite modest and was happy with $120k but I think he could have got a little more Very true story, you can ask Vinh lol

Coming together quick bro well done. Callipers look Hectic

More pictures of it coming together

Hey Guys Small update Finally 9L oil sump is done and cooler, radiator fitted. Ill put up some more pics as the come

The pictures look like they have been taken at the front of Stewart Wilkins workshop. Also Tim is selling the car and he is Stewarts son so possibly its Stewarts car or Stewart is on selling the car for someome...

@Hood280zx I have a second hand hedders from SW that came off a L28 but you would need to get them recoated. Send me a pm if you intrested

Missed the boat A few spare kidneys will do the job lol I agree with Gavin, plus minimum 30k for minor rust work and paint. Then you have running gear, missing parts that you will need to buy (new aftermarket or old parts that need fixing), interior, wiring, wheels & tyres and the list goes on. Best to find a really clean example and enjoy that one and add your own mods to your taste. But its all up to you in the end.

You will need the following: Cash, Cash, Cash, Time and More Time. And some hair colour for the whites that will come out half way through the build. Enjoy VID-20190506-WA0001.mp4

Deposit Taken Seems like a honest car that needs some TLC to bring it back to its glory

Are we able to get these compliance plates re made??. As Im restoring my Z and the compliance plate I have looks a mess I wanted to see if we could have it re produced

Cars looking amazing mate. Nice wheels too

Hey Rudi Yeah I was surprised at how nice the dash came up too. I thought he would have made a mistake and re-skinned it but the invoice said repair on it Shipping each way was $56 each way with insurance. I used the website Trans Direct and put the recieving addresses as a business otherwise it was calculating the costs at $130 each way. The dash re-skin cost is about $600 but he only charged me $120 Re: The mechanics and panel beater, yeah not happy about this situation. I wish I had the tools and some help and do it at home, would have been good but it is what it is and I have learnt from it for sure. Cheers Youhan

Hey Lads Just a few updates I recently had sent the 240z dash to the Dashboard Dr in Melb to get a re-skin and was surprised at how honest Alan is. The dash was really faded and it had some deep scratches and some of the skin had been damaged but nothing major. Alan called me up and said that he didn't want to re-skin the dash and that he would do a quick repair and give it a coat of paint. This guy could have charged me $600 plus and just done the quick repair. The dash arrived the other day and it looks like its been re-skined and the glovebox lid looks amazing. Very nice to know that there honest people out there. So was busy tonight trying to get the centre three gauges in and in this cold weather I broke a sweat trying to squeeze them back into place. So after some failed negotiations with the dash I decided to give my old friend Vaseline the opportunity to do his job. Not even 5 mins and the gauges had slipped in place and at this point in time I asked myself why I didn't grab that container in the first place. The worst part was the wife's look after the first failed attempt and even after the second successful attempt. A while back I had purchased new side air vent inserts and I gave the vents a good clean and inserted the new chrome inserts. Im having a issue with finding screws that screw into the rear of the dash to tighten up the vents. I was wondering if anyone know if there is a screw kit that I can use for the dash and its bits a peaces as currently there are 10 different screws that I have in a bag that was holding everything together. I have purchased a complete nut and bolt set for the car but I need a screw kit/set if there is one available Giddy Upp!

Yeah, I read that that they are noisey too but I found out that there are two options for KAAZ Two Way. There is the KAAZ Two Way (Standard) and there is the KAAZ Two Way Super Q. I initially spoke to Stewart Wilkins about this option and I thought he was pulling my let lol, so I looked into it and he was right poor Stewart loll so I ended buying one from him coz he always helps, the poor guy. I'm always thinking about conspiracies lol The SuperQ is a option through KAZZ and they machine and treat the unit so that it has reduced chattering and smoother engagement. This is from the KAAZ USA Website after intensive research after speaking to SW. There is about $300 difference in price between the two units SuperQ (WPC treatment) Every Kaaz limited-slip differential is offered in a SuperQ variant. SuperQ units feature reduced chattering and smoother engagement for an enhanced driving experience. With the help of WPC metal treatment, SuperQ limited-slip differentials also come with better heat dissipation and longer wear life with no break-in process required. Just like all of Kaaz’s limited-slip differentials, SuperQ units allow for locking rate adjustments. https://kaazusa.com/product/nissan-skyline-hr32-33-er32-33-rps13-s13s14-n-a-2-way/ Hey Cozza thanks heaps. I will give James a call and see what he says in the next week or so. I just dislike mechanics saying yeah bro we can do the job and the car sits at the shop collecting dust on that new paint. The boys sent some stuff to get powder coated last week so hopefully they pull the finger out

Disappointed with Great Joy!

So many speculations and I bet Nissan will leave fans disappointed. This is what happened when Nissan replaced the Pulsar shape with the Tiida and then realised that they needed to revive the SSS to pick up sales again. Seems like coporate management at its best.....

So over the past few months I have been umming and Ahing over upgrading the factory headlights I decided to purchase a Dapper Lighting HID kit upgraded from the factory globe's. 1x Projector Kit Relay Harnesses (V1/V2) 1x Dapper Lighting 7" Classic V1 1x Bulb 1x Chrome Base 1x Headlamp Protection Covers I will update with install pictures once the cars getting put back together. But from what I could see Dapper make quality upgrade kits

You killed it loll cant stop laughing

You should be ashamed of yourself! sell the Datsun's

Very Nicee. Love the factory look

Yeah Im the same as Gavin, family's keeping us from moving too. Also cousins by the dozens keep things interesting at family BBQ's lol.
