RB30-ZED

Yes after 22 years im selling my 1973 240 Zed. In 2000 I striped it back to a bare metal shell and started a 2 year rebuild, using many new and rebuilt parts. One of the states best panel tradesmen spent 350 hours on the body and paint; this is one of the straightest Zeds you will ever find. I then spent over 18 months developing and installing the engine, driveline, suspension and brake systems. The programmable engine management system which comes with a laptop computer, security device and manuals, makes this car behave and drive like any new car. At the last National Concourse in Phillip Island this car ran a credible 2:03.65 for my first time at the circuit, and regularly runs in the low 1:13s at Wakefield Park.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> This car carries a full engineering certificate issued in NSW.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> See photos. http://picasaweb.google.com/RB30ZED<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Engine:<o:p></o:p> RB30 with RB25DE VVT ported head.<o:p></o:p> ARP head studs and big end bolts. <o:p></o:p> New 0.5mm OS factory pistons give 10.7:1 compression. <o:p></o:p> Tomei cams fitted. <o:p></o:p> New RB25DET oil pump running on modified wide drive crank.<o:p></o:p> 6.5ltr trap door sump. <o:p></o:p> Custom oil returns.<o:p></o:p> All oil galleries in the block crank and head threaded with screw in plugs.<o:p></o:p> Kalmaker engine management.<o:p></o:p> Custom exhaust with long secondary pipes to large resonators. <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Drive line:<o:p></o:p> Skyline RB20DET double syncro box rebuilt with upgraded bearings.<o:p></o:p> Custom tail shaft with larger uni’s.<o:p></o:p> R180 viscous limited slip diff (3.7:1)<o:p></o:p> New front and rear wheel bearings.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Brakes:<o:p></o:p> Dual master cylinders with Tilton balance bar.<o:p></o:p> 296mm front and 300mm rear disc<o:p></o:p> Ferado DS2500 pads.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Suspension:<o:p></o:p> Koni top adjustable inserts in shortened struts <o:p></o:p> All ball joints new.<o:p></o:p> King’s prosport springs 3 sets, 325, 300, and 275# <o:p></o:p> Adjustable spring platforms.<o:p></o:p> Rose joint front control arms.<o:p></o:p> Well balanced F & R sway bars.<o:p></o:p> Adjustable rear end.<o:p></o:p> Under chassis brace.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Wheels and tyres:<o:p></o:p> Genuine 16X7 Pannasports<o:p></o:p> Toyo RA1 225X50X16<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Electrical: <o:p></o:p> Rewired, main harnesses and fitter relays for H4 headlights, VVT engine management and starter systems.<o:p></o:p> Hidden engine harness.<o:p></o:p> Rebuilt alternator.<o:p></o:p> Indicators moved to park lights and park lights in head lights.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Body:<o:p></o:p> 350 hour spent on body and paint.<o:p></o:p> Zero rust.<o:p></o:p> Fish oiled regularly<o:p></o:p> Diablo Red<o:p></o:p> Original front panels painted and stored to replace front spoiler.<o:p></o:p> New badges for bonnet and rear quarters.<o:p></o:p> New inner and outer kick plates<o:p></o:p> New door rubbers<o:p></o:p> New glass channels<o:p></o:p> New front and rear windscreen rubbers<o:p></o:p> New windscreen<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Interior:<o:p></o:p> Re-skinned dash.<o:p></o:p> New carpets<o:p></o:p> WRX seats<o:p></o:p> Original and 4 point harnesses.<o:p></o:p> Custom rear strut brace connects side panels to strut tops, and mounts harnesses.<o:p></o:p> G-tec meter<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Spares:<o:p></o:p> Original seats<o:p></o:p> Original front indicators<o:p></o:p> Original engine block with matching engine number.<o:p></o:p> Original steering wheel<o:p></o:p> Diff<o:p></o:p> F & R brakes<o:p></o:p> Factory 260Z mag wheels<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Price: $ 28000 Aust.<o:p></o:p> Contact: Steven Davis rb30_zed@hotmail.com <o:p></o:p>

Hi Tony All true, but id like to roll some cash over to the next project. Also with four cars in the garrage its a bit squezzy.

Yes I heard that was the asking price, and I hope he got it. It was with no doubt the best ive seen. It’s always annoyed me that although we all hope the 240Z will one day bring a sale price equal to its real worth as the best and first classic Japanese sports car, its normally the zed guys that talk the price down.
