Actually Nigel, I've been stuck at work all weekend still here now, if by some chance the car is not sold this weekend, I'll have to see it later... Bummer!

Hey Zep, Why do people do up Geminis? I've never seen the attraction, my dad owned one for years, good relaible little car, but butt ugly and I can't drive them with shoes on, unless I want to hit the brake at the same time as the accellerator! I'm not having a go, I just don't understand... invest in a Zed instead!

Well, that's what I've been told, really hoping it's not an excuse to cover something up... The owner seems very genuine, and is quite well known in the imported / performance car scene, so should be fine.

It's been reprayed the same colour, apparently it had some stone chips and small cracks etc...

Yes, Car has just been resprayed... going to see it this weekend

Hey g260, I went and had a look, was a great turnout... Spoke to a helpful bloke named Willy about joining the club which I'll do sometime in the near future... Photo's don't do Simon's car justice, it really is a special car, that silver 260 with the RB25 was pretty nice too. Well done to the Z club guys who organised it.

the Zcar club web site seems to be so out of date... does it ever get updated?...

Cool, g260, it is definately Sunday yeah? Wonder if anyone will be interested in selling

Hey all, heard on the radio this morning, this Sunday at Fox Studios in Moore Park there is a classic restored / modified Zed car show starting at 10:00am www.foxstudios.com.au for info.

"did you know that the factory actually also tried the 240Z with a V8 President engine!!! " Figures, that engine bay is certainly big enough...

Yeah Baby!!!

Apparently the 1JZ-GTE twin turbo out of the previous shape Toyota Supra is also a very good option, though not a nissan engine, an RB is still no more original if that's a concern. In standard form the 1JZ Twin Turbos have quicker response than an RB25 DET, are slightly more compact in size and are cheaper to buy.

Hey Mr Camouflage, some valid points, the JZA70 was never actually sold in Australia, the aussie version only had the single Turbo engine, the Twin Turbo being an import, so insurance (as I've looked into) is too close between the two to be an issue. ...but regardless, I don't wan to rush in. Thanks.

Hey, Thanks for your feedback guys, I also thought the poll was a good idea, just didn't think my post would get the feeback I wanted... XYZ, Thanks for your post, one of my concerns is resale, in the unlikely (but possible) event of having to unload the vehicle, I would only be able to sell it to a Zed lover, it would seem that most Zed lovers, for that kind of cash, either want a complete original, or to my suprize, simply wouldn't spend that much on a 240? Just thinking carefully before I rush in out the heat of the moment... Thanks guys.

Cheers Doug, Another issue is the fact that the most Shannons will insure it for is $15,000, the most they'll insure any 240Z for for that matter...
