  1. i seen a 260z, that was engineerd and RWC, with a V30det in it, that went for 13k... so they are out there... just need to wait till you find someone willing to part with the car...
  2. Buy the 180, I can't see you getting a Rb26dett with only 15k with the body work,,,... a Rb20det and the body work yes that won't be a problem.... I had a sr20det silvia, with quite a few mods, it was very very fun, always sideways, changed the rear tyres more times than i can remember, and it never missed a beat.. but look at me now back at restoring my S30 as i got bored of the bland looks and just wasnt the car that i wanted to keep, if you really want one you just need to find one that hasn't been trashed by its prevous owner and it should be fine, get a 94+, Ive got 3 friends with 180sx's, and having the silvia i know they are one of the best bang for your buck cars, in the 8-14k price range. but clutchs are like 600+200 to install, turbos are 300-800, and garrenty and 1 of those you'll need to replace in the year you buy it, but parts are decently cheap, pump 5k into them, and you'll have a beast 12second daily driver that still gets 500 to a tank for 15k on a 180, you either are looking for one that is really well presented and running alot of mods, ie power fc, suspension, t28 and injectors etc etc, as stock 180sx's are ok but arn't that enjoyable, and u need to pump 5k into them to really get them moving,.. then they get really fun. where that 5k could have been a rb20det swap into the Z, and another 3k on paint and body, and you still go change left for suspension and interoir and youve got a nice Z, But IMO, sell the 2+2 get 2k for it, if your serous look for a nice 240 or 2 seater 260, that is already modified, or that is stockish for like 7-8k and put a rb20det into it... as they'll keep better value as gav said

    Im from australia guys, not sure what coverage we got, but it was all danica patrick this danica patrick that, be it,she did run a fantastic race, but comon there were another 20 runners out there they didn't get a a quater the airtime she did.... Australias Ryan Brisco came from 24th to 10th as well, he is a rookie and the only other rookie other than Patrick to finish,so he did a good job, did get some small mentions in the news here in aus, yes he has crashed out of all his other races this season, but he is a good driver, and hopefully see him finish some more and get some better finishes in the target car... Also the race was only showed at 4am in the morning, live, and no day replays, and only a small snippet in the 6pm news about the race etc, champ and indy cars arn't as big as F1 in australia, only untill it indy comes to the gold coast in october. does it get good coverage, other than that weekend we only get it replayed at 1am in the morning..

    as brad man said, they are very eager to settle, even thou im in australia, the insurance companys are basically the same with money etc, they want to give you as least as possible, but there are laws, even in the states that act on your side as yo were not at fault, there are quite a few options for the insurance company to give you, but a money payout is the fastest and easiest way for them to get you out of there hair, and most people take the money reason why they offer that first, talk to the insurance company first and see if you can work something out so its not on a salvage title, otherwise find all your receipts, find others in the same or better condition as yours , that are selling at the moment and that are higher than the amount they said your car is worth and show this to them (the adds and receipts), and see what they say then. My first Z was stolen and burnt, i showd the insurance company receipts, and others Zs selling for 6k ish etc etc, and and so i got the full amont the insurance company could give me,

    hey guys was browsing this site, http://www.m-msport.com.au/ToyotaPerformance.php?MenuItem=Body%20Kits_AE%2086%20Sprinter and saw these flares at the bottom, that look quite similiar to the ol fairlady flares, anybody know if they would fit, or have seen/tried them from meridian motorsport before, i don't have a drivable Z to just drop by and see if they will work on the car or not....

    hey guys, say this on the toyota forum, for a few hundred can get a good turbo motor and 5spd. not sure if its L20 or L28, but might as well try and give them a call in sydney thou http://forums.toymods.org.au/index.php?t=msg&th=65462&start=0&rid=2445&S=b1b41f40d07a09598180c5ff82000e86

    for mickieB's description, good paint and all that, depending on year, between 8-12k, depending on overal condition as well, max 14k, well thats my opnion on what i've seen in the last 6 months, and my thoughts on what it would be worth... usuaully a bit more for a 240, or a 74 260 compared to later 260z's but we talking 2 seaters

    funny, mostly all of them say, once you buy it you won't want to sell it, and that they are a great car, and reliable... can't say that about most new cars etc

    as he said about cleaning the surfaces... what i found the best gasket was the gasket that had metal, maybe alluminuim around it and gasket paper inside, i didnt blow this for 8months rather than the crappy looking ones lasted 1 month etc... i don't remember the name, as its in australia anyway.
