  1. Nice 240z. Just wondering what sort of R34 Gtr you were after.

  2. Hey Ken, Not a problem, i have rust pics on hand, but not the guards. I will take those later. The only one i cant do is the dash, as the dash-cap is glued on. I haven't peeled it off, but reskinning is $800-$900 from the Dashboard doctor in Melb. That's who i would send it to anyway.

  3. 1973 240z Brisbane 45k, but would be interested in an R32/R34GTR Deal I bought it 3 years ago now, with the full intention of turning it into a JDM princess and enjoying it. Unfortunately the best laid plans don't always work out. As the car needed more body attention that i originally thought, rather than restore the car and not enjoy it at all for 5 years, i chose to rebuild it mechanically and leave the restoration (read: respray) until a later date. The car has been finished for about a year now, and i just cant seem to get the energy going to strip it down, have the body redone, and put it all back together. It would be lucky to have driven 1,000ks in the 3 years ive owned it. I should clarity right now, this car is 100% driveable. It starts, runs, idles, brakes and steers excellent. The ONLY thing it needs is the rust removed, paint redone and new parts installed (to replace the old ones you wouldn't want to re-fit after restoring it). If someone didn't want to repaint this for another 5 years, there is nothing stopping you from enjoying the car and driving it anytime. With that in mind, i have decided to do an EOI on it to see if someone else wants to run the final 100m of this race and have one of the best 240Zs in the country. Apologies if there are rules against EOI, but either way i would struggle to put a price on this as the current market (Car Sales and Gumtree) is extremely inconsistent. Anyway, lets start with the good bits. As you can tell by the list below, this car had a very specific goal in mind, which was to completely replace everything which was old and crap, and replace it with as much JDM goodness as i could find. A lot of the work on the car (MCA coilovers, S2000 seat mounts, stack gauge surround etc) has been created by myself or D3C0Y and cant be bought off the shelf. In short, i have spent a lot of time researching and finding the best bits for this car, which are what is going to make it very well sorted.

It needs to be repainted. It was resprayed over the original green and the surface was not properly prepared. So there are some areas where the paint has split, has gotten silicone/moisture underneath which has caused imperfections. It needs to be repainted. It was resprayed over the original green and the surface was not properly prepared. So there are some areas where the paint has split, has gotten silicone/moisture underneath which has caused imperfections. Rust to be removed. The only rust i have seen (and i have been working on the car for a few years now) is in the bottom of the doors and one spot under the rear window rubbers. That doesn't mean there isn't more, but its not showing anywhere else. It also doesn't have a roofliner, because the original one was replaced by some horrible white fluffy thing which fell off as i was driving from Brisbane to the Sunshine coast. Rather than fit the new one, i was waiting until it was resprayed so i wouldn't have to pull it out twice. There is a small leak in the tappet cover gasket from the head not being perfectly flush (bottom of head was planned so the headgasket is a perfect seal), one small leak from the front cover gasket and one small leak from the front of the diff. The Dash is cracked, and currently has a cover on it.

  5. I have a set (16) of KKR Forged Aluminum wheel nuts (12x1.25) i no longer need. They have been test fitted to the car, but have not seen the light of day. http://www.otomoto.com.au/p/4116523/kkr-forged-aluminium-wheel-nuts-12x125-pitch-x16.html $55 in Brisbane. Happy to sort out shipping.
  6. Also, since i cant reply to PM's (post count not high enough) please email to kingoffoxes @ gmail . com Thanks
  7. For sale are my Gold GTC's. Ive found some new rims, so i need to move these for something that suits the color more. Chasing 2.8k without tyres they are immaculate. No scratches or gutter rash of any kind. This includes the center caps and locknuts (all genuine VOLK) and will clear big brake kits on Supras. 18x9" front (+42 offset Face 1), 18x10" rear (+44 offset Face 2) Located in Brisbane but can work something out for other cities.
  8. Would it help if i posted a sound bite of the webbers running wide open?
  9. yeah i get alot of that sadly lol. So hard to sell a niche car like this for some reason
  10. Ok so its not a Skyline, but you never know, the funds could go towards getting one . This is a 74 model, so its a 240Z body with the 260z Interior which gives it a much sleeker look. Always Tuned by CnJ in Brisbane and Dynoed at 160HP at the rears. It may not be a big number, but in a very light car its quite a good power to weight ratio. Ive never been to the track or a 1/4 time so if you want numbers its alittle hard. I can really only tell you what its beaten or been beaten by . All the rust has been removed (early Z's had some common areas) and the car is drive once every 2 weeks if its lucky and always stored undercover. Always serviced with the best oil and run on 98, it definetly runs beautifully even for a Tripple Webbered Engine. Its a shame to see it go but i really do need something more economical and somthing my GF can drive around in if she needs to (plus it will fund my Japan holiday lol). Considering the prices of Zeds out there at the moment I'm not sure what i should be asking, but going by car sales mine is easily the nicest in QLD so 14.5k would be a starting point (considering there are 2+2's for 14k!). Will negotiate as I'm not in any hurry. Excuse the crappyness of some of the pics, i really should go a do a better job.
