Hi Gavin,
A while ago i read your build up blog of your stroker zed,you're famous,lol! Make sure that you check out Jay's 260Z 2+2 while you're over there.
Yeah I haven't written anything in the blog for 3+ years now. I decided to travel and not spend all my money on cars. Now that I've been settled in Dublin (with a good job) I've managed to tuck aside some cash and been contemplating getting a car (would be good to travel around Ireland the UK in it on long weekends etc..).
I haven't seen Jay's car in person yet, I've met a couple of other Z owners here though. There is a brown metallic 240z for sale (imported from california) but in my opinion he's asking too much for what it is.
Datsun 240z 1973 on eBay (end time 04-Oct-10 15:21:57 BST)
Also it's wrong hand drive.
In terms of my stroker build, I had some bad luck with my engine builder. He ran off with about $1000 AU and took about $3k from my g/f we took him to court and won the case but still didn't get the money back. He took off overseas.
Needless to say I'm a lot more cautious now with who I do business with
.
I did manage to collect a high lift camshaft, triple mikuni's, LD28 crank, L14 rods (12), N42 head, (engine builder ran off with the engine blocks lol).
I'll finish it 1 day, but I'm in no rush and these cars arn't looking value anytime soon.
