Btw, I wasn't suggesting for you to go solid lifter. I was thinking there might be some hydraulic ones available at hybrid Z from them going to solid lifter

I believe HS30 00060 sold for over $100,000 AUD (not sure on exact figure). I believe HS30 00004 sold for $186,000 AUD + 9.9% auction fee. So around $204,000 AUD. Both vehicles passed in at auction, but sold not long after in post auction negotiation. Considering the economy over here right now I think this a positive result overall. Especially because neither car was 'perfect'. HS30 00004 in particular will hopefully be taken further by the next owner in terms of 'restoration'. Sadly though I believe HS30 00004 will leave the state of Victoria for the first time in it's life. It's been registered here since new and now may go up to NSW/QLD - not 100% sure who the new owner is or their plans. But wish them all the best with it and hope they take good care of it.

Progress…..

By the way, for those following HS30 00004 auction link is: https://burnsandco.hibid.com/lot/224051982/1969-datsun-240z-build-no-4?ref=catalog High Bid: 76,250.00 AUD and at the same time HS30 00060 is up for auction too: High Bid: 51,500.00 AUD https://burnsandco.hibid.com/lot/224052091/1970-datsun-240z-build-no-60?ref=catalog

I think this is exactly the issue, the car has had work done to it over a number of years, and specifications may have been changed as a result. Keep in mind it was used as a press car and driven quite hard as a result (as would any press car). The mileage on the odometer is not a true indication of miles the car has actually done. I think knowledge of these cars has improved greatly over the years and the car was worked on in the 90s when a lot of the knowledge we have about them now thanks to the internet simply wasn't available.
