Looks like a fairly nice car...........until you see the engine bay and interior! As a car dealer, I would be embarassed to advertise that car, for that much money and show such awful pictures of the interior and engine. :tapemouth

Have you ever priced and done a 3 ltr kit. Price it out plus doing all the maching and everything to do it "right " and it gets costly.

Also look at the engine management system, not cheap either, not to include dyno time to tune the motor.

Gets pricey preety quick. You could build yourself a 300 hp turbo motor for fairly cheap. Getting over that hump, though it starts costing, and to do it right costs more!

If you notice also in the background all the other cars he has for sale I dont think that the Z is in bad shape.

Just like the rest I think they should clean up the car some more.

i realise what your saying and basically it was my same point I'm sure the money has been spent on the motor etc..

The body looks to be reasonably ok but everyone knows pictures hide the things we hate seeing in person.

I think it would be a blast to drive just that it could use a bit of a tidy up for the price they are asking.

By all means probably a worthwhile car , you couldn't build the same thing in Australia anyway for that money. LD cranks are rare and so are turbo L28's.

Whats all the craze over those panasport rims... Thier not that special!

Thank you, Chris! I'm so glad to hear someone else say that. I don't now, nor have I ever liked Panasports (or any of their clones) And it seems like you can't get into any kind of discussion about Zs without someone mentioning them. :eek:

Now days, there arn't too many other options for "proper" wheels (i.e. w/o spacers, etc).

Wheels are like women.........appearances and what men like / dislike about them are very individual.

(I like the Panasports, had Minilite Repros on my first Z back in 1980)
