[Cash 4 Clunkers List - Some Amazing Cars Destroyed!]

Buick Grand National >>> NONE <<<

There might not have been a Grand National, but there is a '87 GNX on that list. The 1987 GNX was actually produced by ASC McLaren, If you look there is an entry under ASC incorporated with trade-in year of 1987 but the model is unlisted; but it must have been a GNX

[Are all S30 window regulators interchangeable?]

I went through the same thing with my 76. At the time I had a 2+2 parts car and a 77 parts car. I now know that 70 to 76 2 seaters use the same window regulators. 2+2 are different and won't work in your 75. 77-78 regulators are also different and won't work.

[I actually want a Hyundai!!]

Mitsubishi, Hyundai and Chrysler all share that engine line (I4), that 2.0T engine has a lot of potential. Pretty much the same bottom end as an EVO X. Personally I'd like to see a 2.4L swap out a SRT-4 Caliber....

[Best way to power up a 70' 240z?]

WOW! this thread is really entertaining.

 

/gets up, grabs some popcorn and a bottle of beer

[power steering and full time posi rear end]

"yea im positive it is limited slip but i want full time positive traction bc mine will only posi up when its wet or on a down hill grade"

 

my 280z has a stock diff and it spins both wheels when it's wet out my neighbours, friends, parents of friends and a couple members of the Ontario Provincial Police will back me up on that

 

P.S. a full posi in an s30 probably work that well, ie. trying to turn

[Youngins: How'd you end up with a Z?]

I am 19, bought my first zed in January 2008 (I was 18 at the time). I have always admired the Z car, My father and I regularly watch ebay for rust free southern cars and trucks to import into Canada. I live in Trenton ON. One Day, while looking at donated vehicles in socal (on ebay) I found my beautiful 76 280z. I won the auction for 1500 bucks, payed 1000 to have shipped the New York state and have spent about 800 on it after. I currently have 3 280zs, a 78 that i bought in Ontario getting ready for a L28et swap, a 76 2+2 parts car and i sent a 71 240z to the crusher that i parted out.

[WTB:T5 to L28 Bellhousing]

I am looking a t5 to L28 bellhousing, please pm me if have one for sale

[My 1972 240z]

Actually, the hatch, the dash, and the hood were taken off a 280z, and i have some extra doors of a 280z. I was confused when i saw 280z on the dash. I also saw that the emblems that were on the hatch were from a 280z. And the guy we bought it from said that the hood and extra doors were from a 280z. But the plate inside the driver door and the one in the engine compartment say it was made in December of 1971. And the title says that it is a 1972 240z.

 

 

I think someone must have switched the vin plates on that car because it is definitely a late 260 or 280.

Late 260 or 280 aspects of this Car:

tail lights

rear roll pan

rear quarter panels

The whole interior

Front turn signals

and low front radiator support

[Carbureting a L28E]

I have a complete SU set up off a 70 240z, manifold, heat sheilds etc, pm me you're interested

[HKS twin turbo]

I have heard of these, but I think clearance would be a problem with LHD S30's.

[costs of your cars]

For me I bought a rust free (well about 95% rust free), running and driving 76 280z in Cali for $1500 off ebay. spent around $1000 having it shipped to Ontario Canada. Since then I have spent about $800 on her (new seat covers and foam, radiator and other things). Now I am only 18 have the only S30 in town, also it is still bone stock and it loves to eat 5.0L mustangs around town.
