i think i'll be joining the qld z club then. Also, job i start tomorrow will be givvin me $600-800 a week (i still live at home, so not much expenses). interesting bout the earlier Z engines. well now i cant wait to get into one. thanks very much for the advice.

true, yeah thats startin to cost quite a bit. well i still need to save up and actually get a car, as right now i'm flat broke. well, all depends on what engine the car i get has in it, i might be lucky enough to get one with something decent already in it. So far though, 240z does seem to be the car that best suits what i'm after (fairly lightweight, rwd, that is worth putting a bit of work into, basically a good fun weekend car). thanks for the advice, i'll probly be lookin for a car in a few months.

good ideas. I just looked up that QLD Z club, sounds pretty sweet. To give u an idea of my budget, well since i posted that, i just got a job labouring where i should be getting between $600-$800 a week, so yeh, would an sr20 still be outta the question? thanks heaps for ideas

Hi guys, i'm 18 and am looking at picking up a 240z for a fun car, (i've got a corona exiv, but that 77kw 1.8 FWD doesn't exactly give me any thrills) and was wondering about engines in these cars. so the factory 2.4 is rated at 150 hp, about 110 kw?, which seems quite nice for the weight of the car. I've read a bit and see that chev 350's are a reasonably popular engine swap, but i'm in brisbane australia, and am not too sure bout the availability of them or about local expertise knowledge bout these engines. Like i said i'm only 18 and most of what i'm saying is probably wrong and or stupid. What about sr20dets? many people put them in? or would it be better to keep the factory engine, as i will be working on a fairly tight budget. any advice'd be appreciated. thx
