wow thanks for the warm welcome and responses. Ill check out those Canadian sites you posted, but yeah I think I might be bring one up from the states, mainly so I have more choice, and even after border taxes/cost to get it here I think it may be cheaper. Also the older the car the easier it seems to be to get it into the country . I actually have a spare engine from my skyline that I was thinking of rebuilding (spun rod bearing) but that would be down the road. I love the sound of the carbed inline 6 though so I too would like to keep it. (untill I need boost again) The only reason I mentioned the 260 as being "bad" as I have seen some sites recommend staying away from it, but mainly because of the emission controls in the engine. I wasn't sure if there was more problems. anyway still working out the details on the current nissan, but would like to get a 240 before the snow hits in case I am driving it home. Then storeing it for winter and fixing/upgrading whats needed. Thanks again guys, I'll be seeing you around

Hello everyone. I have been lurking the boards for a year or 2 off and on, and I absolutely love the 240zs. I currently have an R32 Skyline that I am selling off, which I hate to do, but I think its time to get me my datsun finally. anyway just had a couple questions that I couldn't find a clear answer. -body-wise, is there a difference between the 240/60/80z? Other than bumpers and minor details? -How easy is it to swap from auto to 5 speed? -Is there a large difference in power from the 280 engine over the 240? I keep finding mixed numbers. -Everyone says to stay away from the 260, is the problem other than the engine with them? -Would it be a bad idea to drive one 200-1000mi the day I bought it? -Do many people make daily drivers out of them? Bascially want to find a running one that is in good enough shape to drive home to Ontario, so something on the east coast would be prefered (really don't want to pay to have it shipped from cali). There really are none in Canada, and the few that are are way overpriced. thanks for any input!
