    Most ladies like new cars, not rusty, smelly old Datsuns.

    Nissan didn't create all L28's equal. The 280C was probably rated at less power than the L28 fitted to the 280Z & ZX. I say probably because I'm not sure on the figures for that car, but the L24 fitted to the C110 Skyline was around 20HP less than the same L24 fitted to the 240Z.The C110 also used a downdraft 2 barrel carbie. I would guess that the heavier cars engines were tuned for more torque at the expense of maximum power. Edit: Yes good point Arne. 80 kilowatts = 107 HP

    Some of his stuff is ridiculously priced.

    Each have there own problems. If S30 owners want to check for rust in the window frame we have to pull out the front window. You can just pull off the trim. S130's have the modern style of window attachment, the window bonded to the seal, S30's have the old school window surrounded by a rubber seal.

    Before all you S30 owners get alarmed, thats a problem specific to the S130. S30 window seals and trim are different.

    Not common? Down here they are. Every 260z came with them from 74 to 78. (and technically, the 2+2 is a coupe).
  9. Mr Camouflage
    That will give you no idea, since its for US cars.

    Think that only works in Australia Rick, where they kept records. Have a look up under the dash, still should be the original paint. Then compare that to the z color project page thing. http://zhome.com/History/ZColorGallary/index.html

    There is no information in the vin other than GS31. That didn't start until the 80's. There is no way to find the information you want, unless Nissan kept records associated with your specific cars VIN.

    Link to more photos of the car? I wanna see what front bumper it has.

    Oh man, thats hard reading. Paragraph breaks are your friend. I only got half way through it, and couldn't read anymore, probably got half way more than anyone else, which is probably why no one replied. I've heard these cars have problems with the cold start valve, or thermotime switch. I think they are just different names for the same part The system keeps the fuel rich enough for cold starts. When they go it makes the car impossible to start. So I'd start with that. Also hybridz.org is probably a better place to ask about EFI, and definitely the place for ZX and V8 swap info.

    Wow, seemed like her Dad cared more about that car than she did. "The car had been kept either in a garage or under cover on and off for the last 10 yrs" - Mostly off I would say. I's probably been sitting in the dirt there for at least 5 years to rust like that.

    People that drive Mazdas shouldn't throw spanners
  16. Mr Camouflage
    Any 240K's there

    The first 240Z I bought was stolen in Sydney by a crook on the run. Was driven all the way across the country, where the cops nabbed the guy in Albany (WA) for a busted tail light. (Note to crooks, If you gonna steal a getaway car, take one in good condition, that wont attract police attention). Car was in poor condition, and was written off by the insurance company, instead of transporting it across the county again, so ended up at a wreckers in Perth, where I bought it. In it I found the crooks getaway map, with towns circled in pen, and the words "Fill" written, indicating where he was going to stop for gas.

    The LY heads are the best.

    Led Zeppilin? is that a Led Zeppelin tribute band or something?
  20. Mr Camouflage
    I'd buy that for a dollar. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=170177314898&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=007

    The 240z came with a 5 speed in every other market except the USA, so its pretty much just a bolt in job.
  22. Mr Camouflage
    So, you mean it cranks but wont fire? Do these have cold start valves like the 280ZX does? I'd start with that first.
  23. Mr Camouflage
    I guess he ignored all the speed bump warnings
  24. Mr Camouflage
    Looks like it hit the kerb, got air, bounced on the white and silver cars and landed on top of the burgundy car.
  25. Mr Camouflage
    Auction canceled.
