Now that I'm done rubbing one out to the pics of the RB26 powered S30, I wanna say that you guys are really giving me a push in the right (?) direction haha.

That being said, here's the one I'm looking at. No guarantees though haha. Jeremy or anyone else know what year this is?

I rarely see her, and when I do, I'm like usually in my underwear or something.
So I left a note in her windshield instead haha. Hopefully she'll move the Z for street cleaning on Thursday and see the note. If not, looks like yet another ticket for her haha.

well its either a 260 or 280, which arent nearly as desirable as 240s, and its beat to ****. I see rust in the bumper and in the gaps, for ever square inch of exposed rust theres a foot underneath, and I'll bet those ugly skirts are drilled into the body. Theres at least 4 real 240Zs on craigslist right now for around or under 3K that look in much better shape, so I dont think I would give her much over a grand.

I still vote you get a 240 with an LS1

It would be incredibly fun to drive.

Who gives a **** about practicality? THe ****ing car is damn near 40 years old, if you wanted something that handles exceptionally well, get a 90's 240 =)

Just my two pennies

anything after 73 would have a cat stock. But yeah unless they retrofitted earlier bumpers I would say 260 as well.

I personally like this 240Z. The design is based on the one from the Wangan Midnight manga and anime series.
