Cool, thanks for your help

Sorry, I can't help you with your problem, but it's good to see another NZer on board

There is soo much info there, thanks man. I'll never be able to get through all that!

Wow man, that is soo nice. What sort of wheels and front spoiler is that?

Hey, I was wondering what kind of body kit this Z has on at the front, and who would make one like it, if any one knows... (not the best pic, yea i know....)

Mmmm,I like the front spoiler on that Z in the clip. Is there one made like that?

You think that Z's expensive? > http://www.footbagcanada.com/240Z.htm

This post is strange. $18,000 USD is a lot of money to spend on a 240z. That equates to around $39,000 NZD, which you could buy a new pretty awesome car for over here. Actully, thats a crap load of money! Anyway, about the porche's and stuff, the thing is, that the Datsun 240Z are relativly common in USA compared to UK, and are not realy known as a prestigous classic car, as the european ones are, which gives the car its worth. Thats what I think, you can buy a compleatly restored 240z, with extras (body kit, etc) here for around $10,000 to $12,000 NZD. This is about $4500 - $5500 USD. Dang, i dunno, i guess what im saying, is that in many countries, $18,000 USD would be considered a rip-off, but thats just my opinion.

It dosen't seem to be working...

Thats cool, I didn't really think that you'd want it, but I was just letting ya know.

Hey 240znz, I was looking round, I dunno If you wanna buy this early before you come back, but I found this http://www.autopoint.co.nz/marketplace/UsedCarDetail.asp?ID=2003290&Criteria=%40Make%3D%27DATSUN%27%2C+%40Model%3D%27240Z%27%2C+%40OrderBy%3D%27P2%27&NoOfRecs=1&PageNo=1&chkRows=500 I hope this link works. If It dosent; here are the specs 1971 DATSUN 240Z Transmission: 5-speed Manual Location AKL New Zealand Price NZD$8,500 Description L28 engine, club race/road car, 70/30 cam, 15" wheels, 300ZX discs, Koni shocks, race seat, extinguisher, negotiable. I pretty much Posted the whole ad, hehe. Oh, and for you yanks, that price, as of now is $3,816.37 USD. I'd buy it, if i had the money, but sadly no

Did you see the Z at the bottem of the page...WOW, that is nice..

I can find out for ya Alfadog, give me a day

so, does anyone know what kind of wheels it has yet?

Hmmm, try this one then... http://taner.equinix.com/darius

There are about 4 or 5 other vids of this Z @ http://w2.movies.taner.net/darius/

Can anyone tell me what type of wheels the Z in this vid has?

I guess this is what you're looking for; heres 3 places I found: Subtle Z Race Car Parts Cool Wheels

You wish Rob all the Z's ive seen for sale here haven't been as expensive as a GTR. Go to Autopoint.co.nz and see for your self. There like $29,000

Yea, but the thing is, i don't want a Skyline or Prelude, I want a Z. I must sound like a wineing child. haha. Still 50 is nothing

Dam, alpha-dog nearly makes me cry! Hes not much older than me, and has his own Z, with SOUNDS!! I hate this stupid country I live in, suposedly theres only 50 working Zs here. Im never gonna get one.. ahwell.... (rant in the middle of another post; over)

Cool, thanks both of ya! I read up at the IZCC website, and found that the better 240z was the 1972 model, so hopefully I can find my self one of these. Its gonna be har tho, I think there are only about 50 Zs in the whole country.

Thanks man

Hey, I'm looking at 240z for my first car, but was wondering what the difference between the models of each year are. From the looks of it, the body shape makes really small changes, but that might just be my crap eyes. But, is there any other engine, gear box etc differences that I should be aware of before looking for my prize?

Well, I'm one more to add to the four or five teenagers here, and three New Zealanders I've seen so far. I'm 16, still go to school and own no car at all. This is due to my lazy response to getting my license and even lazier effort at trying to find a job. I first heard about 240zs when I saw one sitting up the road and found out that it belonged to my hairdresser, who is constantly restoring it. Ever since I saw it, I wanted one. It dosn't make it easy in New Zealand tho, it's really hard to find Z cars, especailly 240zs ('73 as I want). I'm always looking out for them tho, hoping my parents will shout me the extra cash. Yea,,, thats me..
