Seems a bit of a bargain considering he only wants £2,500 for his standard spec 240z engine or his bargain gearbox with knacked second for a mere £750.

Must dig out my samuri head and sale invoice from samuri conversions. Looks like it may even pay for my new engine :)

With the price of samuri, would this be a required item to go in your sam that doesn't have its original sam spec engine? Will putting this in your normal zed make it more desirable to the general buying public? Could you then call it a samuri and sell the car for more money?

Remember there's no such thing as a samuri spec engine.... they're all 'unique'. Are samuri's really more desirable to the general public? I understand there's 2 or 3 that are, others have been for sale for a long while...
 
I'd love to know what he's smoking really.

£10k for an engine rebuilt 17 years ago, to a very very moderate spec/standard?

£750 for a knackered gearbox?

£1650 for broken bits of interior...

The slightly rusty steel wheel (one only) at £100 caught my eye.

There must be some samuri shells or full cars in need of resto that are still out there. That the owners don't want to sell. These cars may need a engine but it's a 2.8 he selling tho fort big sam only had this engine size???
