If it runs, for 250 I don't see how you could go wrong.

Hi All,

If it is a 2 seater then it is well worth the $250 (and more!)

If it was a 2+2 then it may be worth it, depending on what it has (carbies, diff, gearbox, moustache bar,head, etc) and also what you need for your 240Z.

Its only a 2+2. Dont really need too many parts for my 240.

Just thought i could rebuild the parts from the 260 and swap them into my 240Z. saves having the 240 off the road.

What i really need is info on where to get performance stuff for my 240 ie lsd diff or r200 , good disc brakes, sway bars, motor upgrade ( dont know what yet and will be the last thing I do).

Do you know who does this stuff in W.A or can supply parts.

cheers

Hi Gavin,

my good friend/mechanic has been racing Datsuns/Nissans for over 10yrs or so. His workshop is called SST Automotive and is in Welshpool, you might want to talk to him to see what is possible for your needs.

His Number is 08 9350 5444 (Steve Thomas) http://www.sstautomotive.com.au/ but note that the address has not been updated.

You may want to ask him about doing and injected L series etc....

For suspension, I have found that Wilkinson Suspension Centre in Bayswater are among the best in the trade.

Hope that helps.

thanks Cuong

Have seen their name before but a friend of mine had said they had closed down. Must have just moved to new location (whelshpool).

Will go see him this week and check out some prices.

Ha. I just stuck a SST automotive sticker on the back of my zed. I had it left over from the auto salon. I was going to stick it on the commodore, but then people might want to race me.

I need a Front left indicator lense (clear type). Choke lever handle, air vent handle. Umm thats all i can remember at the moment.

Oh yeah a 240z gearbox. Mine has a 240K box.

And new rings by the look of the smoke thats coming out the exhaust.

Mr C, are they the two bulb, or single bulb type indicator lense that you are after, I may be able to help

I am using a 2+2 as a parts car for a 2 seater restoration and it is really coming in handy. The parts I don't want to keep I have been swapping with others for parts I need. It's working for me!

Single Bulb from a 2/72 240z.

Heres a pic of the busted one.
