Using a 240z as a daily-driver ?
Good question. My friends and I have talked about this but came to no real conclusion (because we all were talking $^!# hahaha). What do you people think? And possibly more importantly, why?

The Neglected 280ZX?
Alan, that's the attitude!!! Good luck with your project.

Using a 240z as a daily-driver ?
I had mine for over a year as a daily driver and apart from the now and then fix that made him unable to be driven for a week or so, it was great. But don't expect it will be as reliable as a new car. I can almost guarantee you it will be off the road every now and then. Good to have a backup plan... As long as you buy it knowing you might have to take it off the road every now and then for something you'll love it. If you think you will be able to drive it every day without fail, you've got another thing coming. But like George said, warm it up!! That's probably the most annoying thing about an old car like this is that you will have to warm it up. I usually go out 5 minutes early and start it up, go back and brush me teeth and stuff and by the time I'm finished it was warm and ready to go! I've heard that you should still drive pretty carefully after that for a while, to get all the gearbox lubricants and everything flowing around properly. So yeah, if you don't mind that, go for it!!! It's such a small price to pay for such a beautiful car.

KGT...Question
Mmm map pockets. Looks like the seats might be pretty nice underneath those covers! The rest looks useless :tapemouth

KGT...Question
Oh they're there now. Wow, something special!!! Looks like GL tail lights, but instead of the indicators being onthe outside they're on the inside and the brake lights are on the outside. Very strange indeed as I've never seen this before! Possibly a custom job? Or maybe something more special... Nice steering wheel, want to give it to me <g> The interior looks pretty OK, those don't look like 240K seats though... Interesting...

For the 240Z purists out there:
Yes... a rare option. I've seen one in Australia with them. Doesn't do anything for the looks of the car but kinda cool in a Nostalgic "silly Japanese" kind of way

For the 240Z purists out there:

KGT...Question
I'd be interested to see any more pics you have!
-
KGT...Question
That looks nice, except the funky mirrors! I don't think it is all that strange to have such a low VIN, remember, it is only a low VIN for all LHD cars, and I can't imagine many of those were made!
-
KGT...Question
Sounds sensible... why not import a real GT-R from Japan!!!!! (when you win lotto)
-
KGT...Question
Geeezz that's a bit, I suppose their rarity must be worth something... Personally I would leave it alone. But if you think you're up to a bit of a project go for it!!! I warn you though, parts might be hard to find and expensive. But why do you want it?
-
KGT...Question
ahhhhh Would be a nice parts car :-/
-
KGT...Question
P30... is that the head number? I dont know much about that... Any pictures of the car? How rusty is it?
-
KGT...Question
MMmmmmm.. something might be special! Strange that your lettering seems to be printed by hand (note the difference in the 8's) whereas mine is machine-printed. Also, notice that my engine number is higher than this ones, but mine is definitely a 1973! Is it advertised as "original engine!!" by any chance???
-
KGT...Question
Strange that it is number 288 in 1975! I guess since they never sold it in America there wouldn't be very many LHD cars around... Mine is 3292 and it comes from 1973, the year they were introduced! Please buy it, then we can be K brothers btw here is my ID tag, did someone spill brake fluid on this or what!??!?!

Just sayin hey
When I had my Z whenever I saw ANY other Z I would always park next to it love that kind of "family" feeling

2 240Zs for sale in Perth, Aus
So I take it neither of those suits you? How long does it take for you to snap damnit!!!
-
OT: What car next??
Well for the cars he mentioned, they turn 15 years old, which means they can be imported with less costs to pay to the Aus government, I think. Not entirely sure about how it all works, but you'll be able to have a TT 300zx landed for less than 10k...
-
OMG.... look at this Z :)
yea the one next to it .... MMmmmmmmm... It looks great except the painted door handles :-/
-
OMG.... look at this Z :)
I like it except the nose, and that vent in the side... echhk

Uh-Oh...rust
Man, you've got a great shell. Not too sure why POR is better when you put it ON rust, kinda goes against everything I've ever been told... But that rust is hardly rust at all, THIS is rust
