240 in OZ

Yes, thats the point Im trying to make. I also note that Carl has this particular car logged on his "Vintage Z" Owners Register. The photo of the car shows that it had original steel wheels and "Z" style hubcaps installed, I assume when it left the remanufacturer. So, the installation of the Panasports is yet another change from "Factory".

The factory radio delete plate on these cars is interesting as they still fitted an antenna/aerial. I know some cars in the UK originally were supplied without radios and there was a rubber plug fitted in the rear quarter panel where the antenna/aerial was fitted, but this car is a different kettle of fish I guess. The only thing I am able to assume is that Nissan configured some of the program cars like this so that the new owner had the choice radio/stereo. Assuming 26th knows? Also interested to ask with the parts replacement on this car namely the rear wheel cylinders, steering rack and suspension bushes, spark plugs, rear main seal and exhaust system, if this car is now considered as not as per original factory program rebuild specifications or if the above is considered as consumables, ie normal wear and tear parts that need to be replaced from time to time? Am I being too picky? Maybe everything apart from the exhaust system.

Pretty close to your numbers 26th, interesting to see it is silver and not green.

Maybe not...looks like a colour change from white to lime...I posted the link prior to looking at all of the photos.

I havent seen this posted anywhere on here: Carl B, do you have in on your VIN records?

You dont see these everyday in Australia; perhaps that is why it was imported from the UK (of all places!) Classic Throttle Shop1978 Datsun 260ZTime-capsule 260Z: low mileage, UK-delivered, tastefully upgraded, impeccably maintained, and beautifully documented throughout...

Yes to choke knob; I cant comment on hazard flasher switch as the "Australian specification" cars were not supplied with one.

I think the list of inaccuracies would be quite substantial on this one. Im not even sure you could say "most" of the hard work has been done on it if you wanted to take it to the level of Gold Medallion. Drop this one off with zspert and you would still be facing a sore wallet at the end of the day to get it to that level. Judging by the photos of the rear hatch area under the carpet it looks like to was repainted up to and including the jambs and the interior left in there (headliner etc). No photos of the inner floors under the mats. I guess the mid range mileage will have something to do with the end result, but compared to something like the Franklin Mint car which was "remanufactured" by Bill Reagan or one of the cars by Wick Humble that we saw on BaT last year (?)...well...

That's gold. 20 years; WOW. Thanks for posting it up. Yep, Ive been around the forums a little while!

Rear are different to the front and even the lhs rear is different to the rhs rear; it has a slightly different angle on it from my memory.

While it will be sad to see HS30 00004 loose her original plates of KNL-127 at least she is staying in Australia.

Id like to ask if anyone has any feedback regarding the following item: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/FRONT-BUMPER-BAR-OVERRIDER-RUBBER-INSERTS-suit-DATSUN-NISSAN-240Z-260Z/132883410618?hash=item1ef077eeba:g:5-EAAOSwNWxZ7sd2&frcectupt=true Specifically looking for how close a match they are to original Nissan OEM parts but also looking for feedback regarding quality etc. The company is based in Brisbane, Australia.
