OH MY GOD..... those pictures!!! That is perfect.... after a SR20 swap

 

damn, even though that car is all beat up, it looks amazing!

 

It needs some TLC, but I like it......

 

I would love to have that.

 

LSx time!

 

I like the looks of the flares.

 

I learned how to drive a stick in one of these old 240's. It was my friend's. It was a hooptie. Gray with red bucket seats. We used to go to the back roads on Ft. Hood and let 'er rip until it started smoking. Those were the days!

edit: I want to restore one of these one day. If nissan started "retroing" these like the Mustang, Camaro and Challenger they'd sell every last one.

 

Hell, you don't need to do that. The importation limit in time is 25 years. If a car is older than that, you can legally import it. So all you need to do is, well, import one. They can still be had over here.

EDIT: This is for the us market. I speak of no other.

 

I don't get it...What's so special about THAT car?

 

It's just cool.

j/k I've always loved the 240Z. A car that can elicit the responses in this thread (Shoofin's excepted, no offense) in this condition is beyond special.

 

A few years back I remember they actually did do something like that, but it wasn't a retro, more of a resto...They were looking for them and restoring to like-new condition and selling them for a pretty penny...

 

I remember something about Nissan looking for a certain model of their older cars. Was it the 240Z though?

 

That 240 is either a modified autocross car, a project car or a junker. I wouldn't put money into trying to restore it.
The program didn't make money, and high performance standards have changed a lot since then.
IDK if it also included the 260Z and 280Zs.

 

I don't know how much of it is due to the great photographic style, but that car just oozes character. I like it a lot.

 

sexxxxxxx

 

If I had a penny for every time I saw this car posted and reposted... The thing gets whored out on every car forum I've been on

 

lol

 

Haha, i knew it wuld be this 240Z, its been all over the internet lately..but yeh, theres something about it

 

looks different I like it\.

 

Not my cup of tea

 

The 240Z was indeed a great car. I had a '72 w/ triple-Weber carbs, cam, headers, and a free-flow exhaust. The car was a piece of cake to work on and a blast to drive. The only downside was that it beat the crap out of you with a very stiff ride, heavy steering and clutch and firm brakes. I still miss that car, in fact, I have a 1:18 diecast model of one in my office.

 

I've seen this car before... Speedhunters.com FTW.

 

I had a 280Z-brown with turbine wheels, racing mirrors, front and rear spoiler and rear window louvers....loved it-great car! It was the first new car I ever bought.

 

or
:gtfo:

 

Nissan did it here with the R34 Skyline (1999 - 2003). They were called a Nismo Z-Tune GT-R.

The site is in English and Japanese, but this is the result:

This is as well

 

Damn, there's something special about that Z, can't quite put my finger on it. Props to him driving around that low on coilovers

I can imagine that thing never goes anywhere near parking lots or driveways Speed bumps and curbs are a

 

I like it a lot.

 

i hate that z tuned website

 

My buddy has a 240z he has been restoring with an LS swap. Total frame off. It's gonna be nuts. He has lost interest in it as of lately. He bought a 08 350z and immediately TT'd it with 1200 miles on it. He just sent the car from Louisiana to Cali to have bigger turbos and a built block installed. Goal is a reliable 700whp.

 

I'm going with project car or junker. Suspension is too low for it to be an effective autocross setup.

Sure looks neat, but probably hell to drive with zero ground clearance and monster-stiff suspension.

 

Awesome pictures, and I miss my '75 *sheds tear*

 

Here's a nice example on Goo-Net, but this one is about $50 LArge... No way, even with the Weber carbs....

Red 240Z

 

... reminds me of this picture

 

I don't get it, what makes that car worth $50,000?

 

Must be the "low down configuration" option.
