Fairlady S31 2+2 Z seems to be easy to find in the state and the S31 coupe kinda, Those are pretty cheap. I see them go for the price your friend is looking for $5,000-$8,000. Now one in the craigslist ad is a 1st series fairlady Z, those are pretty much rare to find in Japan. First series are already up to $15,000-$18,000. Maybe ask the seller to part out the car? Hope that helps
Importing a car from Japan is already going to cost $4000-$6000. Now finding a Z for under $4000-$6000 to average the amount he want to spend is going to be hard. What I am trying to say is that that is not going to happen. LHD in Japan is already going for average $6000-$9000. Also LHD is cheaper than RHD. That will give you an Idea how much its going to cost to import one. Ask me how I know.......I learned it the hard way.
Hey Datsun lovers, I inherited a 71 240 zeto. car looks really good. no rust or anything. frames are straight. I will be doing some mods here and there. I'll see what I can get my hands on to put on my z. I had the Z for about a year or so. I have been have my ups and down with the car. all in all the car is a blast to have. been lurking for a while now I am a member woot woot.
