wtf? Are you drunk?

Ahhh yeah, so you're just missing the "Datsun" and "260Z" badges from the right side of the boot... The whole DAT/Datsun/Nissan story is a long one, if you're interested you're probably best finding a good Z book which will most likely explain the name changes... I looked at the picture of your car from the front which is on te Galleries, and I can't say that I like the look of the square edges form the front either ... 1 would a better way to go I agree with you there.

Mmmm weird how you have those big flares but no other obvious mods.. Perhaps it was a bit of a race car once upon a time? I dont like them personally, especially how they come down to a 90 degree angle like that - just ugly.... Also what's the deal with teh badge on teh left? Looks like a nice car, and I dont think white looks too bad on a Z...

So I was told when I bought my car that neither the hand throttle nor the choke were connected, so until now I never even tried. I tried it just cos I got curious today, and to my surprise the hand throttle does work.... My car seems to be a 240 series 2, except for the centre console bit which I guess has been replaced at some stage... The thing is, I would have thought when they removed teh hand throttle control, they would have removed all the mechanics behind it too, to save money and time. My question is, does anybody know if the mechanical components to do with the hand throttle were still left in the series 2 cars, or if not would it be reasonably simple to install the parts yourself? This is another segment of my ongoing saga to determine for SURE what series my car is...

Maybe a 350ZX with 4WD? mmmm...

I think they came only with two "prefixes" - HLS and HS. The L stands for Left Hand Drive... So in other words, I think you may have the 396th RHD Z

ok so you dont like British cars? It's no 6R4, just your every day stocko Metro hatch. Nothing special true, but it'd be fun to have a car I could thrash around

Wahey, for a free car tehy're pretty sweet

no, if I got one of those for free I'd move to England instead hehe A little MG Metro which needs a bit of TLC is up for grabs, but considering all those costs it isn't really going to be "free" for me anymore Too bad eh?

Buying a car off a friend is a bit dodgy to begin with... Not being in America, I can't say much about the price, but 5k seems a bit steep for something that doesnt run, and if the motor is in that condition, I find it hard to believe the rest is in "perfect" nick...

None of the above. I can get it for free Thats why I'm looking into it ... Since you have to own the car, couldn't you just get the current owner to import it for you, and then just say that he "sold" it once it came over?

Zvoiture, that looks nice 8) but I dont want to cut into my bodywork so I'm prolly going to do something like Silver72 has done I take it 2.25" is about as big as you can/want to go? A holden sounds like Chevy to you yanks

Just wondering (already planning my next car hehe) if there was ever a 300ZX Twin Turbo 2+2 made? Also does anyone have any performance figures between the NA and the TT model?

I'm not happy with the size of my exhaust pipe, nor the "holden" sound it emits... Has anyone got any advice as to what looks, sounds the best? Also any idea how much it'd cost?

Woah, a flying Z !

Shhhhugar.. Damn, oh well, there goes that opportunity thanks for the help

I've got the same problem, only mine's carby and my choke dont work 8)

Just for teh record, the majority of Skylines are NOT 4WD...

I wait with baited breath

I'll keep it short - Does anybody know the cost of importing a car from London to Brisbane/Sydney by any chance???

aargharghaggrhrghgrggh i dont have $10,000 !!

They look like they're in pretty decent nick too !

I'm on the Gold Coast in QLD and I recently purchased a silver 240 - from Sydney as a matter of fact. Glad to have another AUssie on board (excuse teh pun) and if I could help with you problem I would .... I'm sure someone here will be able to though, as these guys know just about EVERYTHING you would ever wantto know about Z cars...

Yeah, I've downloaded it fine, but I get some sort of error when I try to open it (mpa file not mpeg). It then goes would I like t odownload the plugin and I say yes but it never does it ...

Mmm... how'd you view that *.mpa file on your site V8Z? What plugin do I need?
