Hi Guys I'm planning on ordering a fair few things from both Silvermine motors https://www.silverminemotors.com/ and Z car depot https://zcardepot.com/ If anyone was thinking about or right on the verge of placing an order from these stores let me know! I'd be happy to put through a joint order and try to cut down some of the shipping costs and either send your parts to you once they arrive or hold them for pick up (located Melbourne, south east) Looking to order in about a weeks time (8th of November). Would 100% prefer if you shoot me an email ( ben.heyz@gmail.com ) and we can work it out from there.

Hi All, I am looking to purchase a 240/260/280Z 2 seater. While preferably I would want a right hand drive car, I have been looking into the 280Z in the US market. The 280Z seems to have some advantages over a Japanese or Australian 240 or 260Z. You seem to be able to pick up a relatively cheap one in good condition for $10-11K (USD) (plus import costs). It has the same/similar body (earlier models) as the Australian models, plus it comes with a fuel injected engine. Obviously I would prefer (like most others on this forum) a right hand drive 240Z, but for the price and the condition of an import I am strongly considering a 280Z from the US. I doubt I will find a RHD 2 seater sub $18k in Australia. Would anyone like to provide their thoughts and opinions on importing a 280Z? Is it worth it? I haven't found much information on 280Z imports into Australia on this forum or on Google. BTW: I would be removing the ridiculously huge front and rear bumpers Example of what I would be looking at purchasing (but without the large rear lip spoiler): http://www.usatoaus.com/Information.aspx?id=104181&keyword=280z&description=false&minprice=&price=&cid=0&sidx=0&eidx=2 Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide.
