Theres a "Report this Item "at the bottom of the ebay page. Car has 13 bids on it already. Seller is luuvanese ( 0 feedback ) http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Datsun-Z-Series-1971-DAtsun-240Z_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6187QQihZ002QQitemZ120188671172QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW#ebayphotohosting

Sell the K and get an XB coupe. But seriously. Get an injected L28 from a 280zx as the base for this. You'd have to get all the parts from an injected L28 anyway and try to retrofit them to the L24, so just start with a L28. Alternatives, well the L28 came out Turbo as well, so turbo parts are available from the ebay USA. www.hybridz.org has heaps of info on turbos, injectors and modifying L28's. Curvaceous. Never heard the K called that before, its all sharp lines and angles.

2 seater or 2+2?

one vote for clueless.

Yeah, but is was soon repainted to Bob Sharp racing colours, and still is. http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=16954&si=your http://zhome.com/History/sharp.htm It cant be HLS30-00006. Advertiser must be mistaken.

That's stainless steel isn't it? not aluminum.

Actually the answer your your question is: Yes. (The 240Z was considered a GT). GT applied to cars, stood for Grand Tourer (Gran Tourismo is just french or itallian for Grand Tourer), ie a a sporty car with some luxury (like the 240Z, are we learning yet? put 2 and 2 together did we?), as apposed to an all out sports car. So yes I already answered your question in my first post. Yes GT is an acronym for many things: GT may stand for: * Gas turbine, a rotary engine that extracts energy from a flow of combustion gas * Guatemala's ISO country code * GB Airways' IATA code * Global Title, an address used for routing signaling messages on telecommunications networks * Georgia Institute of Technology, commonly known as Georgia Tech * Georgetown, Guyana, the capital and largest city of Guyana * Giant Trevally, a species of fish from the Carangidae family * Gifted education, also known as gifted and talented education * Globus Toolkit, a software framework for implementing computational grids * Golden Tee, golf video game * Google Talk, Google's Instant Messenger * Google Test, a measure of notability on Wikipedia * Göteborgs-Tidningen, a Swedish newspaper * St. Josephs's College, Gregory Terrace, a Catholic boys' school commonly referred to as 'Terrace' * Gross ton in the Avoirdupois or Imperial system of measurements * Gran Turismo (series), a series of racing video games * Grand tourer or Gran Turismo, a car classification and an acronym used in many models and trim levels * GT Bicycles, a large American manufacturer of road, mountain, and BMX bicycles * Gyllene Tider, a Swedish pop group * Dragonball GT, a Japanese anime * GT Interactive, an American video game developer * Gigatransfer, a number of data transfers (or operations) * Gin and tonic, a drink * Gametrailers, a video game website * Grand Trunk Road, a historic road constructed by Emperor Sher Shah Suri connecting Afghanistan, Pakistan and India

I expect that they would still be available from Japan. The hard part would be finding the correct part numbers to order them. I looked at the S130 microfiche, on carfiche.com, but its the US version of the fiche, so the part numbers are for the emblems you already have.

The engines probably fine, its the airframe I don't like the looks of. Don't think the L16 would be powerful enough for it either. And whats with the wire frame seats? I think the robot guy should blow up the helicopter. Great Vid Ron. How did you get the G-force graphs into the video?

Yay, thanks for the sarcasm. and I already answered your question. :stupid: If you searched, you'd probably find its been discussed plenty of times before. GT probably stands for alot of things.

I dont know who's crazier. The datsun helicopter guy, or this guy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atfdOPF4VGM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dhs7t70_YVg

You couldn't pay me enough money to take a flight in that thing.

Mmmmm, private sake.

GT is a style of car, a sports car with a bit of luxury, the term has lost it meaning these days with manufacturers slapping a GT badge on any old sporty version of whatever car to try and sell more numbers. I suggest you start a new topic about this if you want to explore it further, and leave this one to the GT-R. Back on topic, The GT-R, I want to like it, but its just so ....(i dont want to say it)... ugly. Maybe its the sort of car who's looks have to grow on you. I hope it has more appeal in the metal, so to speak, than it does in photos.

Hi Rick. Well if you can wait to get over here Some car related stuff you can get up to. http://www.whitemanpark.com.au/attractions/whatson-event.asp?event_id=165 http://www.whitemanpark.com.au/attractions/whatson-event.asp?event_id=196 http://www.fremantlemotormuseum.net/ http://www.yorkwa.com.au/Motor.Museum/

Hi Darryl Mikes in Queensland if memory serves me correctly. Hi Mike.

My GL (1/74 compliance plate) was doctored with GT trim. It has the 240K GT door trim badges, and the 4 speed GT gear knob, as shown above (even though its got a 5 speed).

I think the Whiteman park classic car show would be more interesting for you Rick, so if you could convince the misses to postpone the holiday a months or two. I think its usually in march. I'll check and get back to you.

Motorvation 2008 will be on in the weekend of January 19-20th. Theres usually some Datsuns there. Mostly 1600 sedans and 1200 utes. Pics from Motorvation 2007 http://ozdat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9358&highlight=motorvation If you are into Drag racing... http://www.motorplex.com.au/ and click calendar.

I just watched the original gone in 60 seconds too. Was cool to see the Datsun office and Mazda dealership with the RX-3's in the showroom. There was a green 1200 coupe at carwash when they stole the tv stars car (I forget his name, I'd never heard of him anyway), and I spotted a few 240z's in the street driving scenes, most of them parked. But more interesting to me was, why was there a blue 240Z in their warehouse of stolen cars? It's not on the list of cars they were supposed to steal in the movie. Maybe it was originally but never made it into the movie, apart from being parked in the warehouse. Or maybe it belonged to someone associated with the movie, or was just a customers car that was in the guys shop at the time they made the movie. (The guy that made the movie ran a repair shop, and thats where the shop scenes were filmed). You only see it for a second after the mustang drives past it, when they are going to dump the mustang.

The 240K with the S30 front end photo I saw was real, but man it was ugly.

That sucks man. I guess moving it to the back yard isn't an option? Selling the whole car will get you out of trouble with the county. Parting it out might leave you with a half assembled shell and no time to get rid of the rest of it, and you might have to give away whats left.

I once saw a picture of a 240K with a 240Z front end.

Yeah, ive seen them before. They are made up of 3 parts. The central datsun badge, and the 2 separate badges either side, the left one is just the bar thing. The right one is the bar incorporating the 240K GL. I'm 99% sure the when you pull the badges off you will be able to put a badge like Art has on there.
