Just because it has a SR20 doesn't mean it won't be AWD. In fact, it would mean it could well be AWD. Nissan sold a couple of cars with SR20DET/AWD platforms... Ever heard of a Pulsar GTi-R?

Gavin, 20k AUD is roughly $13,000 USD, heaps of Zee's in America have gone for way over that price. I think it is a very fair comment to say that they are worth more in America than here. In fact, these cars are worth more in every country I can think of... Although because of the high numbers in America you'll have a great time finding an old rusty one - from what I've seen crap ones are worth less than crap ones here, but good ones are worth more than good ones here.

You might not have noticed, but you two live in different countries of the world Keep that in mind when posting on a board, the value of Z's in Aus are way cheaper than in the US!!!

Thanks Rick now I can see her in all her glory ...... but ......... I'm left wanting MORE!

Good question. My friends and I have talked about this but came to no real conclusion (because we all were talking $^!# hahaha). What do you people think? And possibly more importantly, why?

Alan, that's the attitude!!! Good luck with your project.

I had mine for over a year as a daily driver and apart from the now and then fix that made him unable to be driven for a week or so, it was great. But don't expect it will be as reliable as a new car. I can almost guarantee you it will be off the road every now and then. Good to have a backup plan... As long as you buy it knowing you might have to take it off the road every now and then for something you'll love it. If you think you will be able to drive it every day without fail, you've got another thing coming. But like George said, warm it up!! That's probably the most annoying thing about an old car like this is that you will have to warm it up. I usually go out 5 minutes early and start it up, go back and brush me teeth and stuff and by the time I'm finished it was warm and ready to go! I've heard that you should still drive pretty carefully after that for a while, to get all the gearbox lubricants and everything flowing around properly. So yeah, if you don't mind that, go for it!!! It's such a small price to pay for such a beautiful car.

Mmm map pockets. Looks like the seats might be pretty nice underneath those covers! The rest looks useless :tapemouth

Oh they're there now. Wow, something special!!! Looks like GL tail lights, but instead of the indicators being onthe outside they're on the inside and the brake lights are on the outside. Very strange indeed as I've never seen this before! Possibly a custom job? Or maybe something more special... Nice steering wheel, want to give it to me <g> The interior looks pretty OK, those don't look like 240K seats though... Interesting...

I'm sorry.. but I dont see them at http://www.mediarace.fi/unenvaltakunta/kgt.htm ???

Yes... a rare option. I've seen one in Australia with them. Doesn't do anything for the looks of the car but kinda cool in a Nostalgic "silly Japanese" kind of way

Damnit, I knew that Alan!!! I was hpoing to be able to impress everyone :stupid:

I'd be interested to see any more pics you have!

That looks nice, except the funky mirrors! I don't think it is all that strange to have such a low VIN, remember, it is only a low VIN for all LHD cars, and I can't imagine many of those were made!

Sounds sensible... why not import a real GT-R from Japan!!!!! (when you win lotto)

Geeezz that's a bit, I suppose their rarity must be worth something... Personally I would leave it alone. But if you think you're up to a bit of a project go for it!!! I warn you though, parts might be hard to find and expensive. But why do you want it?

ahhhhh Would be a nice parts car :-/

P30... is that the head number? I dont know much about that... Any pictures of the car? How rusty is it?

MMmmmmm.. something might be special! Strange that your lettering seems to be printed by hand (note the difference in the 8's) whereas mine is machine-printed. Also, notice that my engine number is higher than this ones, but mine is definitely a 1973! Is it advertised as "original engine!!" by any chance???

Strange that it is number 288 in 1975! I guess since they never sold it in America there wouldn't be very many LHD cars around... Mine is 3292 and it comes from 1973, the year they were introduced! Please buy it, then we can be K brothers btw here is my ID tag, did someone spill brake fluid on this or what!??!?!

When I had my Z whenever I saw ANY other Z I would always park next to it love that kind of "family" feeling

So I take it neither of those suits you? How long does it take for you to snap damnit!!!

Well for the cars he mentioned, they turn 15 years old, which means they can be imported with less costs to pay to the Aus government, I think. Not entirely sure about how it all works, but you'll be able to have a TT 300zx landed for less than 10k...

yea the one next to it .... MMmmmmmmm... It looks great except the painted door handles :-/

I like it except the nose, and that vent in the side... echhk
