www.collectorcartraderonline.com there are a lot around your area. theres a 71 in san diego with a rebuilt motor for 2800 obo

1: In your opinion in terms of looks/speed/cred which Z is best among the 240/260/280? Were all the versions just 2 seaters or were there 2+2's aswell? i think the 240 wins hands down. it was also the fastest car nissan put out of the z line till 1990 there were 2+2versions of the 260 and the 280 2: Perspex lens covers, I've seen them about quite a bit and I think they do lots for the car (E-Type jag look, infact the designer of the Z designed the E-Type too I think?) Are these covers hard to fit? Where can they be bought? imo i think they make the car look great also helping to reduce drag. they can be bought at www.motorsport.com 3: The cars achilles heel? What is it? Is it rust or are there other parts that need to be upgraded? Brakes for example? Is there a simple brake conversion where you can swop bigger brakes across from another similar car? it would have to most definetly be rust. thats the biggest thing. there is a simple break conversion it is the toyota 4piston caliper upgrade. it is the best. and of course after time all suspension parts if they havent been taken care of will need replacement and or upgrade 4: Engine options? What are they? you need to go to http://www.geocities.com/zgarage2001/z.html it will answer all your questions and also give you great ideas for performance and lots more 5: Cars in the UK or Eire? Where can I get one and which would you buy? that one i cant answer i hope ive helped somewhat james

http://adcache.collectorcartraderon.../8/23818708.htm the guy lives in van nuys but the car is in north hills. are you looking at the white z thats in north hills that was on the same site that one looks pretty good

im gonna need a ride when i get in from the airport to north hills can anyone help me out . it will be in the afternoon around 12 tuesday or wednesday. anyone please???

im going for that 71 for 2800. unless you think you know of a better one cheaper .

but now you know if you go with red tires thats just ricing here car

the coil would be my first guess. start there.

i tried emailing him before i found the yellow 71. but i never got a response from him i dont know maybe hes to busy. would have saved me 800 if it was as nice as the one i found

but i love yellow on a Z. i cant wait to get it. if any of you know jeffp on www.zcar.com he may come get me at the airport to get my car. hehe id love to take a ride in his ZX 400 horses of boosted power woohoo. well we will see how it turns out. i plan to take plent of pics of the trip and might even have a story or two to tell when i return im also taking the basic Z tools too just in case anything goes awry:p

but your car needs a paint job treat it well

on the other hand i did find one in la its a 71 looks pretty good and its a decent car for 2800. i like it plus it has recaro seats a good plus for a comfortable ride home too. well its off to cali tuesday <http://adcache.collectorcartraderonline.com/10/0/8/23818708.htm>

and your right good things do come back around and 2 many z's no you cant have it :finger: its mine mine all mineROFL

well after a long search and countless hours on the internet i think i have finally found what i am looking for. its a 1970 240Z. sitting in maryland that someone had lost interest in restoring its to the point where you see it in the pic im attaching now. ill probably pic it up monday =)) god i can wait <http://www.ttrsracing.com/images/Tim_Strickland_Datsun.jpg>

I think im in love

i think your getting ripped. you can if you have a decent set of tool and some knowledge do it yourself. 5-600 hes outta his mind. when i didnt know about cars i paid only 400 to have a complete new clutch kit put in my 300zx which is a lot more work then in a early Z. oh btw, very nice looking z

is this guy on crackROFL

i had talk to that guy and have some sketchy reports as well. heres what he told me and the engine he said well just read his mails Good morning. Thanks for the interest. It is the original L26 engine. It is not bored out but I have replaced the original twin SU carbs with 3 weber duces. Also replaced the intake and exhaust manifolds. I do have the original parts in the garage too. The carbs, manifolds and air cleaner. Complete with orange cover. It is an early 260Z. You can tell by the bumpers. As for the rest of the engine I have within the last year replaced the original alternator and generator. I am attaching a few more photos. One is of the engine. I am selling it because I don't have the time to maintain it and want someone else to take care of it now. It has never seen a winter. If you want to chat more feel free to call me. Where are you located? Paul The battery area is just fine. NOT rusted out. The same with the frame rails. The only area that really has rust are the dreaded floor pans. The frame is however fine. When I got the car it was undercoated. It was from New York. I undercoated what needed to be reinforced with another coat. This was with a rubberized undercoating. Not the normal stuff. I don't have any pictures of the underside but if you are serious I can borrow a digital camera and take a couple. It will be dirty but still in tact. I installed gas shocks but they have been on there for about 15 years. They are still good though but you could stiffen up the suspension more. The sway bar is still original. A few other parts replaced with NEW in the last few years are the breaks master cylinder, the master and slave cylinders for the clutch. I replaced the clutch about 15k miles ago. I rebuilt the breaks 2 years ago. And last year replaced the factory headlights. They still worked!! But the insides were giving away and the silver was pealing and looked bad. As for the engine. I have not done a complete rebuild. Why mess with all those seals if you don't have to. It still runs wonderful!! Still the original head and block. Still the original cam too. I get about 250-275Hp as it stands. You could easily get that up to 300 or more with a few more things. I never really wanted to. Oh yea. There are 117k miles on the car and block. I bought it in 1979 and built the engine in about 83. So that is the last major thing I have done or had to do to the car. I repainted it about then too. I will not kid you. There are things that could and need to be done. This car is 28 years old and mostly original. But it is and has been a great car. I only put on about 500 miles a year now because I work to much and have a family. So. What do you think?
