photo of all the spark plugs would be helpful

Ship it to overseas to restore and ship it back.

Pulling to right could be tire pressure, caster, crown in the road. What is the wear pattern on the tire? scalloped, outside worn, inside worn?

What i've done in the past is take a piece of paper and write down every good part on the car that you can see. Then write down the price you think it will sell for. Then find all the parts that you would want for yourself and add that in too. Add em all together and see if its worth your trouble. Parts are always more expensive when YOU need them , right?

For the record, my personal experience with the niles clock is good. I've had about 8 of them over the years. All worked right out of the box and keep excellent time. They don't seem to suffer from the old capacitor problem that the citizen have. I've got 2 of those on my desk that need new caps. The clock face on the niles doesn't seem to degrade over time like the citizen's white lettering. The niles always looked like brand new afterpainting the second hand orange. That does seem to fade on both clocks. Plus, i think the niles are a better looking clock.

Couldn't you take the lock rods and other parts from the later 280 and change your doors over to fit the 77-78 panels? 5 cm from the rear.

Wasn't the electric fender mirror an option on the S31 ? Don't these look like power window controls? crap, now im wanting this power window setup for my car. Power mirror controls were under the speedo

A power window knockout in a S30 door panel that fits 9/74 - 7/76. Power windows were available before the S31? Or possibly someone thought ahead and they put this knockout in the tooling for all door panels These door panels have a nissan dealer date of 1993 on them. Kanji is name Miya for you archeology buffs. When i first started this thread i should have said guy in canada is having these made or has a source. I've talked to people that are selling repro's and they say they're foreign made. They won't say where though.

I thought the 79's only had the plastic door sills. You are talking about an s30 and a s130?

What I find even more entertaining is the shipping method. "economy shipping" Sure! I want my expensive stuff banged up and take forever to receive. Heck yea! Who gives a crap if they get stole off the front porch. Insurance? we don't need no stinkin insurance.

It's brutal what they do to this poor old Z.

To deliver to germany from usa took 21 days using global shpping. To deliver to denmark from usa took 8 days using first class international These packages were dropped at the post office the same day.

Thanks, there are so many variations on these. I've verified one of mine is a 9-71 thru 7-72 and the one i posted you are correct it a later style. It's is a 74-76. I've heard that you can solder on different harnesses to make it fit other years. Not sure on that since i've never done it. I've put the earlier one on ebay for the same price as you got. I'm curious to see what it fetches.

So $86,000 with 10 days to go and the engine could bring $59,000. I can think of several cars I would like to have and still have change left over... price should get up to about 150,000 usd. i would be shocked if it went higher

and skyline. If you want to start building your kids college fund, start buying whats left of the supply of new s20 engine parts. I'm sure they will appreciate far more than any wall st. investment. I'de love to see one set up with the lucas fuel injection. There is a skyline for sale now with one of these engines. It's been languishing around the 10251000円 price but still has 10 days to go. Notice the vin# One owner vehicle. He wants to trade it for a toyota 2000gt. Good luck with that. Has anyone ever seen a skyline with an s20 go for more than a million $ or whatver 2000 gt's are selling for lately? https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=ja&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fpage6.auctions.yahoo.co.jp%2Fjp%2Fauction%2Ff169939660&edit-text=

Final sell price 59,000 usd. I guess this price makes economic sense if someone is restoring a car that originally had an S20 but the original engine is missing. At these prices someone needs to step in and start making reproduction engine blocks and heads.

Wow, where did you sell it? ebay? Yours looks to be a newere one. Are you sure thats from a 70? The connector on mine looks to be an older style. Your turn signal connectors look like 74-76 style. Heck i've got 2 i should probably sell. Both have the pass function.

Ok, could apply too. " I swear I never saw underneath those patches. That's work from the previous owner" No i'de rather not identify this individual. This is more of a humours poke at the ad's out there on the auction websites. But my god how can you not notice those shiny new floors? dis·in·gen·u·ous ˌdisənˈjenyo͞oəs/ adjective adjective: disingenuous not candid or sincere, typically by pretending that one knows less about something than one really does.

Sad, another project that someone started and couldn't finish. Anyone know the story on this car? boxes including: moldings, glass, interior, wiring, lights... everything except no engine or transmission" Looks like quite a few nice parts on that car and in boxes. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Datsun-Z-Series-432r-Clone/262253357302?_trksid=p2045573.c100034.m2102&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20131003150253%26meid%3D7b9f747ac8854d88a5921588d677f121%26pid%3D100034%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D8%26mehot%3Dpp%26sd%3D161953692140

Which do you think applies here? This car is currently up for sale on an auction website. "Only rust on the WHOLE CAR is a VERY small amount on the floorpan(could cover completely with less than a dollar bill)" ex·ag·ger·a·tion iɡˌzajəˈrāSH(ə)n/ noun noun: exaggeration; plural noun: exaggerations 1. a statement that represents something as better or worse than it really is. lie2 lī/ noun noun: lie; plural noun: lies 1. an intentionally false statement.

Well a 72 just sold on ebay and its still a project car in pieces. It sold for 9400. It really depends on how much rust you have and the overall condition. If its cherry, i'de try to find a buyer in Japan because they sell for quite a bit more than they sell for here. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Datsun-Z-Series-240Z-/281906612546?forcerrptr=true&hash=item41a2f18942:g:IUcAAOSwJkJWk9Wk&item=281906612546

Those wheels really look bad. They need something. Maybe a polish? The rest of the car looks awesome. That red looks much much better outside the shop. Is the guy in oz that sold it interested in seeing how it turned out?

240ziggy did you ever find a place that makes shirts?

You sure found a nice car fast. Others have looked for years for their "ideal" car. BTW.. white z's are chick magnets.

There are other auctions too. This is for 77-78 but I think i saw another auction for reproduction 74-76. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Datsun-280Z-1977-1978-Door-Card-Panel-Set-Black-Pair-Panels-NEW-584-/221978752221?fits=Make%3ADatsun&hash=item33aef6f4dd:g:VzYAAOSw9r1V91dR&vxp=mtr
