Welcome!

Underbody and frame rails look very good. There is rust on the rear passenger wheelwell lip area, and rusty fenders, but the structure of the car seems to be very sound. Floor is good. It runs a little rough, I'm sure it has very old gas in it. I talked him to 1800. Hopefully I will have the cash available soon before he sells it. It has a header and twice pipes.

I really like where this is going. This man has some incredible talent.

"serve extra cold" I like that.

Welcome! Congrats on the new (old) car! It sounds like a nice example. Post up some pics when you get a chance. Yes, a carb rebuild would be an order with the car sitting for over 20 years. Basically anything in contact with liquids should be addressed.

I would do a cam about that size if it were my car and I had the extra cash. You can prpbably get a local regrind for under $100. With a 270 intake and 280 exhaust duration cam with .460 lift, I would want to run a .170" lash pad. Which would run you about $65. For the set. Brand new rocker arms on the other hand would probably run you around $300. You can get those at a local auto parts store.

That's a fairly conservative cam you mentioned. You should have no problem running that in a stock engine successfully. At the very least it will sound badass. I'm sure you will make a little more top end power as well. You getting it from MSA? I suggest replacing your rocker arms and lash pads while the cam is out.

Fuel filter possibly?

I'm going to look at it today and I'll snap some pics. Hopefully it's mostly original. I like the white. I'll be selling my z31 turbo to buy this s30, so every dollar from that sale will go towards restoring the s30. Eventually I would like a rb25 or 1jz. Just a well powered street cruiser is what I'd want. But if it's really nice, I may do a factory restore.

What's the going price for a series 1 240z these days? The car I'm looking at is white, 4 speed manual, and the body appears to be a good condition. The only thing it needs to be in driving order is a wheel cylinder and a battery. The seller is asking $2000. Sound about right? It seems worth it to me. I haven't gone to see it in person yet, so I can't tell for sure.

That sounds like a good deal to me, but if I had them I would paint the gold parts either black, or silver.

Cant wait to see the end result! Nice work!!

youtube has a few

Awesome. You know what would look killer on that?? A set of r-34 gt-r wheels. That would be bad!!

Any reason in particular why you chose to use the 2.4l?
