Brazilbro · 06-08-2009, 11:27 PM

Im selling my 96 240sx and am thinking about taking on another project and have been looking at getting a 70-73 240z. Just wondering if there are any owners that can give me an insight on the car. Its pluses and minuses ect ect. probably going to do an engine swap on it too, if i go the 240 rount. Any insights would be helpfull

Purchase new - US version. Only issue: clutch slave cylinder failed while driving...Clutch engauged in 1st gear approx. 1 mile from home. Car was towed to dealership and reparied under warrenty. Stock seats are uncomfortable and needed better shocks/sway bars/springs for spirited driving. Other than that; great car.

look for rust, that is the biggest culprit. I just sold mine last summer, here it is in a pic last month at Zdayz with my vette though.

I highly suggest you check out HybridZ

heres the 240sx , i have found a few 240z up here in the north east area, but there is a lot of rust on them.. i'm just guessing that restoration is pretty pricey?
