Mr Camouflage

Still alive. Still have the 240z. It's still in pieces. It's a problem of time, money and motivation.

I read that Mr Tamura passed away last month. R.I.P. Kumeo Tamura 1944.2.28 - 2015.4.16 Thank you for your excellent work on the S30.

A sad day for Z fans everywhere. http://www.wsj.com/articles/nissans-father-of-the-z-dies-aged-105-1424510374

No they are quite rare in Australia.

Is the battery fully charged? could be a low voltage issue. I'd also check that your ignition switch isn't faulty. Mine had an issue where it if you turned the key all the way cranking would stop, but if you carefully turned the key and stopped turning it any further once cranking started it would continue cranking until you let go when the engine started. Maybe hook up a remote start button that you often find in tuning/timing kits to the starter to rule out whether its the key switch or a starter/solenoid issue.

GTRs only came in Red White and Silver

Last price I saw was around $14,500. But true to form, the seller cancelled the listing ( Skyline C110 Datsun 240K KPGC110 GTR GT R Kenmeri Nissan FOR R32 R33 R34 R35 | eBay ), and relisted it for $25,000 buy it now.

Grill should be metallic gray Considering he'd send it somewhere where it would sell for $20,000 to $30,000.

This site quantifies prices and sales..... on Ebay only. It also doesn't take into account cars that "sell" but the buyer never pays, and the car is relisted again. I see the same sub $1000 car listed twice because the sale never went through the first time. Not a particularly accurate overall price guide I would imagine.

Yeah, I wondered if it was the same guy. I couldn't recall his ebay name. I remember the bronze coupe he had. IIRC he got it cheap, and was trying to make a big profit flipping it on ebay. He'd cancel the listing on the last day if the price hadn't reached his expected price (even though he didn't have an ebay reserve set).

I'd guess between 15 and 20 thousand. Interested to see if the seller agrees to sell it for what it reaches in auction, if less than the 30K he wants.

Couple of new coupes on ebay this week. White one looks good and has gtr bits to go with it. Seller has been pestered with buy in now price emails, so said he would tak offeres over 30K for it. Hopefully he lets the auction run so we can see what sort of bids it attracts. Other one is a silver coupe with horrible flares (IMHO). Already been messed around by a dreamer and had to relist it.

Great info as always. Thanks Alan.

Renting out your car as a wedding car? I'd be worried you'd rent it out and never see it again. Or do you mean selling a 240K sedan? FYI in UAE this sedan would be worth north of $20,000. eg: http://www.carindubai.com/ads/1977-nissan-skyline-gt/ 75,000 AED = 22,500 AUD (approximately)
