Mr Camouflage

Just found this pic and thought of this thread, so here it is.

Another reason why we wanted the 240K section renamed or moved somewhere else on this page: http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/index.php so its more like this page: http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=101 so its less likely for people to confuse the two.

He knows, If you read all of his post he is going to get the foam from Les, and was asking if the 240 foam could be used on a 280 seat base, because they only list the 240 seat foam.

Looks like something out of starwars episode 1. The problem with "flying cars" is that with todays tech, they are basically just low flying air-craft, with all the inherent dangers associated with air-craft (such as falling out of the air when something goes wrong). Flying cars have a long way to go before i'd consider them a true flying car, (such as those in the movies blade runner, or the Fifth element, or even the land speeder from starwars (episode 4 - the first movie) ). But that kind of anti gravity hovering is something we don't have the knowledge or technology to build. Weren't we all supposed to be flying around with jet-packs by now?

Nope, if it was a GRS30 you'd have a back seat.

Never heard of a GS30. GRS30, and GS31, but never heard of a GS30 before. The G means its a 2+2 i believe.

Yeah those cars aren't worth anything in Aus either. Though, we never officially got the turbo models.

side skirts?? Overfenders you mean?

Cost could mean the cost incurred disposing of the returned waste. They would have to chuck it into there skip bin, which costs them to get it emptied. That how I interpreted it. What there should be a law against is them sending you the unsolicited mail in the first place. Imagine the savings to the USPS is they didn't have to deliver all that crap. Theres laws against email spam, now how about some laws against real-mail spam.

He never says that this is intended to cause the Junk mail sender extra postage charges. He's just sending them junk, which they will have to dispose of, just like they send him. Everyone hates spam, be it e-mail or snail-mail.

Then theres the 05L head that really confuses people!

Maybe you mean the L20A crank in the L28 block? That also de-strokes it to just under 2.5 liters, and aparently was what Bob Sharp's 240 used to run in the GTU (Grand Touring Under 2.5 Litres), well thats what I read on Hybrid Z.

An LD28 crank is not really an option for you Tom. It would mean you would have to get different rods and different pistons. Also they are hard to get, and anyone in Aus that is selling one, wants an arm and a leg for it. If you have friends or rellies in NZ, then they are pretty easy to find and relatively cheap too. If you go the LD28 crank route, I think you would be building a 3.1 litre stroker engine, and should have a read of these before deciding to: http://www.geocities.com/inlinestroker/ http://zhome.com/rnt/3.1Cobb/3.1engine.htm http://zhome.com/rnt/3.1HanveyProject.htm If you go the standard route, and go one size overbore with appropriate pistons, if you still have the option to go the next size later, if you need to. If you go the max overbore straight away, and ever need a re-bore, you would be looking for a new block.

That wont work, unless you leave one wheel on the ground. If both wheels are in the air and the car is in gear, all that will happen is the other wheel will spin in the opposite direction to the wheel you are turning.

Yep. L20ET. Not a much of a performace motor. FJ20 was in the R30, they are getting old and harder to find parts for. Better off using a SR20 than an FJ, as they are newer and parts are easier to get. Also the Ebay ad says "Possibly the only one of its type in USA" - Its not the only C210 in the USA 77Japan has one http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18484&highlight=vegas

Speaking of magazine articles. I saw in a classic type magazine an article about the restoration of a ferrari 250 GTO (a real one, not a 240z in bodykit) in England. Was interesting to see a GTO stripped back to its tube chassis. And last month there was an article about a 250GTO owner in the USA that uses his GTO as a daily driver.

Yep, but that doesnt make it a GT-R, just a lookalike, and it had an L series engine.

Pics are probably too big. if you resize them to 640x480 it should work.

There was a set of 4 new old stock ones on ebay last week. Sold for AU$105.70

ROLF forget to log out and someone else (the misses perhaps) used the computer? Maybe its L33t haxors? Moonpup, is that link work safe?

Yes, I guess the point i was trying to make is that they weren't referred to as "Series" changes by the manufacturer (were they?), like they are these days with modern cars. I often see adverts on TV for the latest [insert bland econo-box appliance car name here] Series X car now with [trivial marketing gimmick]. The article I was referring to was the link Arne posted: What year is my Z. http://zhome.com/History/1970or1971.html I just thought it would be appropriate to mention the diff relocation in that article too.

put it on ebay as a rare item!!!

Our Aussie 240z underwent similar changes though from the article on the z home site, we would tend to call series 1, series 1, and what they call series 2, 3 and 4 as Series 2. These are just terms invented to describe the changes as the 240z evolved. I find it interesting that the zhome article makes no mention of the changing of the differential location, or what series it changed in.

Maybe its only 1 of 50 ........ in Utah.

They are thin, like half a millimeter or so.
