    Can i here and now declare i haven't driven a z!

    Thanks Tim you have some interesting cars i also think a MR2 mk3 would make a good budget choice i would be interested to know what you think of them. I currently don't have a garage to use so getting a Datsun would mean a new garage and all that entails. So I'm thinking i need a car that will...

    1975 nissan fairlady 2/2.

    Yeah I'm kind of sorry that i didn't think about my situation more before contacting you. I used to sell guitars occasionally and used to get fed up with people asking questions without wanting to try out the guitars?. People just don't think hard enough before they contact because they know...

    I'm at the stage of finding out every thing i can on buying a 240/260

    Ok thanks Mr tenno and others lots of good advice and you have made me think if i should be doing this having no mechanical knowledge and not even a garage large enough to fit a car in. It definitely needs lots of thought and I'm glad i asked the questions. Getting someone to look at it is...

    I'm at the stage of finding out every thing i can on buying a 240/260

    Thanks i got a couple of more questions and that will be it. Would you always go for a car that hasn't been undersealed and sometimes you see cars that have 5 speed this is mostly a change or just stay with 4 speed and if you find that it annoys you you can always change it at a later ?

    I'm at the stage of finding out every thing i can on buying a 240/260

    Thanks for that i needed some help in knowing the best way to go. I hate spending large money at the best of times. So at least i know its probably better to go the restored way. I won't be using the car to customise or use on track just a fun car. And i had consoled myself to LHD because i...

    I'm at the stage of finding out every thing i can on buying a 240/260

    So I'm trying to find out as much as i can about sourcing a car. I don't know if it's better money wise to source a car from europe (theirs more choice and it's fairly close no duties) restored rather than buy a cheaper car that needs work. I'm no DIY mechanic so if i bought a car that needed a...

    Can i here and now declare i haven't driven a z!

    So when people talk about 240/260z being not entirely comfortable what do they mean? And is 280z much more comfortable ? Can a 240/260 be improved comfort wise somehow to make them more comfortable not everyone spends their weekends doing track days and perhaps I've got so used to modern cars i...

    Any reasons why a 280z would be a good buy?

    I've kind of fallen in that trap where i feel i missed out originally on buying the 240/260z price wise when they were cheap. So I'm about 10 years late and they are pretty expensive now even the Americans realised that now. So I'm trawling the small ads for a 280s i found a cheapish 280 2+2...

    Auto to manual cost

    Yeah think i saw that episode I'm looking to have someone do it as I'm not a mechanic. And yes car is that one on car and classic.what I'm trying to figure out is if the cost is too high then i will look for a 5 speed manual from europe. The interior colours on this one are also a clash so when...
