Just call the 2+2 a station wagon.

HS30-00379 on ebay.com.au starting at $1. In a bit of a sorry state though. check it out

Nice Photos Hayden. Hey Alfa, none for sale aparently. Actually the silver one with the 2 scoops in the bonet on the same side was for sale. The guy that owns it also has a 240K coupe.

Its got 2 doors, that makes it a coupe. Being a coupe has got nothing to do with the number of seats.

Thanks. I thought the gauge should go up if you ground the wire. I think the is a problem with the guage wiring somewhere. I got the multimeter on the sender last night. It was reading about 250 to 300 ohms when off, and went to 100 ohms at idle when I started the engine.

I got a 240K recently. It has a L28 in it. Oil pressure gauge reads 0 all the time. Doesn't move at all when the ignition is switched on or off. I suspect the engine has oil pressure, it would probably be dead by now if it doesn't. But i want to be sure before i start driving it regularly. So i'm guessing either the gauge or the sender unit is faulty. If I take the lead off the sender and ground it should the oil gauge go up? Does the resistance of the sender unit go up or down as oil pressure increases? Cheers, Craig.

You, in your shed. If you are handy at that sort of thing. Otherwise, its not the sort of thing you can just buy in a store.

Dont apologise Alfa you are right. A Stone Tray is the thing that bolts under the engine to keep the stones out. Sometimes called a splash pan, or sump guard. The Bit your reffereing to isnt called a stone tray. Haynes manual calls it a front apron.

The front looks similar to the old V35 GTR prototype. Which seems to have more styling cues from the S30 than the Z33. Espeically the rear quarter window.

Saw these on ebay: 10 quid. "Datsun 240z 260z 6 branch sports exhaust manifold (unknown make) In usable condition, tho the tail section will need resleeving/cutting at its end as it was accidentally snapped, doh " http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Datsun-240z-260z-sports-6-branch-exhaust-manifold_W0QQitemZ8008020026QQcategoryZ38786QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Yeah good, but: a). We're in Australia and. . It's a 240K

Consider it revenge for all the 240z's that you Americans cut up for parts. Cars that looked perfectly restorable, cars that an Aussie would have no choice but to restore.

Thanks Alfa about the seats. What should the bottom part look like? The car looks to have been "done up" at some point. Maybe it was someones first car and they fixed it up. Tha paint is crap, has rust in the bottom of the doors. It used to be the same colour as Toms C110 (a sort of medium blue metallic). The indicators must hav been switched when it got painted. The chrome isnt the best. Left part is crushed flat, the bonnet part has a ding in the middle right side, and dont remember about the driver side guard trim. But I dont have any plans to restore the car, I'll just tidy it up, and get it running nice. and if i ever find a 2 door, it will probably become a spare parts car.

Maybe you should ask him.

Just movie crap. Some CG company gets paid to make a video they can play on the screen to make it look like somethings happening. Same as in movies when the actor is using a computer. The randomly press buttons on the keyboard, never press enter, and the the screen keeps changing like they are actually going something. Swordfish is a good example of how crap and unrealistic it looks.

Original wheels too.

It's a parts car Tom. Alfa plans to rip out the pedal box, gear box and clutch stuff and put it in his GTR look alike. No restoration planned for this one. Looks like its at the end of its life, unless someone buys the what's left of the chassis after Lachlan has stripped all the parts off it that he wants.

When I was filling out the transfer papers when I bought it I noticed it had an L28 engine. I hadn't checked, and assumed it was a L24. Today I was having a look at it was wondering what block it had, but couldnt remember where the block type is cast, so I thought, what head has it got, I know where thats cast... Guess what, it has a P90 head.

Changed the ownership on the car, and discovered that it was registered on a pensioner licence, so i have to pay the difference. Which is annoying, but didnt feel so bad after I pulled the seat covers off. I wanted to find out how crap the seats were under the cheap covers, and it was a nice surprise to find that they were original, and in excellent condition, with a bit of soapy water they'd clean up really well. Cleaned up the steering wheel, and removed the furry thing on the dash.

I'd been looking around for a second car, as the skyline still isn't back yet and wanted a car that i could park at work all day, and leave the skyline at home for the other half to use. (her car got written off by a P plater while her mum was driving it), also would be a bonus if it had a tow bar. So there was this 240K that had been advertised for the last 6 months or more in the local classifieds newspaper. Was originally $1600, but more recently it had dropped to $800, but the rego was due. When I started looking for a car it had been re-registered for another 6 months, and the asking price had dropped to $750. Makes sense to get a L6 series datsun, as I have a few L6 engines lying around at home. So I went and took a look at it. Didnt run too well, and hadnt been driven for months. Some rust in the doors. Belonged to the womans mum, and it had a tow bar. Anyway I bought it for $650 and drove it home. This is what it looked like:

Like Pro240c said. why doesnt this stuff come up for sale in WA? I'd call dibs on the shell, its certainly repairable, but not worth the $1000 it would cost to transport it to WA. Alfa. If it were me, i'd keep ALL the spare parts off it. just in case.

All the aussie supercars have low profile tyres, and they are big heavy family sedan cars with V8 engines. ..but Meh.

What extra lever?? looks normal to me. each carbie has its own choke. you should have 2 choke cables comming from the choke lever.

A work colleague has the Bush quotes calendar. Todays was something like " They have misunderestimated me ". - George W also "Inlighten me" Bill R. Did they go to the same school?

I'll take a close look at mine on the weekend. Its a 77. You might have to get some later model indicators.
