It sounds like a really high rev at 3000rpm and doesnt go anywhere really. 2nd gear is pretty much the same, but the rest of the gears seem fine but a little rough.

Thanks everyone! Thats exactly what I thought!

The owner is claiming that 1st and 2nd only rev to 3k and 4k RPMs because the transmission is a close ratio. I've never worked with a close ratio transmission but shouldn't it still rev higher?

hey everyone! I just checked out my first 73 240z today that has a turbo 1983 engine with a 5 speed. WHen i was driving the car i had it in first gear and the it was really short...only went to about 3000 rpm and the same happend in 2nd gear...rest of the gears were fine...The owner claims that the tranny is very close ratio. But wouldnt it still rev high? Please let me know..if its the tranny I'm going to buy the car!Thanks

Hey I'm looking to get a 240z in good running condition so I can drive while I fix up also daily drive...I DO NOT car about paint or interior. I'm actually looking for one with crappy paint because I want a ratty one. I'm not interested on rust buckets though...Looking to spend about 3000..could go lower or higher depending on car. I'm located in the Santa Cruz, CA area...so anywhere within 2 or 3 hours away I'm down. Let me know what you got!! Thanks email me at tk_aptos@sbcglobal.net Matt

$2000-3000...I found some good driver ones near where I live in that price range but the sellers dont seem to come through

Hello, I'm looking to purchase a good running SMOG EXEMPT 240 or 260z. I would like to use the car as my daily driver. I would prefer one with very minimal rust and a manuel tranny. I'm located in Santa Cruz, CA. Let me know what you have! Would like to do a VQ swap in the future. My email address is tk_aptos@sbcglobal.net.
