    Rb260z For Sale On Ebay

    in Nissan RB Forum

    Posted

    yea its me

    Very cool car man. Believe me, I am very jealous, and the price is very fair. However, by reading your description, it appears that English is your second language? If I were buy something one Ebay, especially something as valuable as you awesome car, I would be a little put off by the grammar. Good luck with the sale.

    JSM is correct, the seller must file the claim. If the seller isn't responding I would cancel payment on them. I do a lot of selling on the net, and I can't emphasize enough the importance of communication, especially on Ebay.

    I drove through oregon last summer. Coming from the midwest, I was in awe of the amount of datsuns in peoples yards! In my two million plus populous metro I am lucky to see three s30's a year on the street; by the time I had driven through oregon my neck hurt from straining to see all of the dats. It's not fair. Needless to say, I will be moving to the Northwest after school.

    Where'd all the Ebay suspension stuff go?

    It's all still there. Just search for 240z, 280z, etc., depending on the model.

     

    I saw some overpriced bushing sets like for near $200 + shipping! There are several sites offering this same set for <$160.

     

    I've emailed the jdmwerks seller to see if I can get a set of illuminas with springs. He must have raised his prices because I can remember the sets being sold for $480, now the shocks alone are $410.

    I'm finally able to afford illumina shocks and springs and energy urethane suspension bushings. So, I log onto ebay expecting to see the usual ultra cheap prices for these products and I get nothing. What's the deal, anybody know where these can be had for ebay like prices? If I could afford the Black Dragon/MM/MA mark ups I would definitely support at least one of these great businesses, but I cannot.

     

    TIA

    worth starting a project with?

    I'd look for rust everywhere, especially where the front section mates with the rest of the unibody. Also, some things to consider are what modifications have been made to the fuel system and the drivetrain. This turbo was installed as a kit? Is it EFI or blow through?

     

    If you're planning on doing a ground up resto anyway, this sounds like your type of project. The disassembly has pretty much been done for you.

    Top three HYBRID dream cars?

    Not really the ultimate, but cool none the less.

     

    This car is pretty much legendary here in Kansas City.

     

    Quoted from local car forum:

    "So tell me this ... when you race a Festiva, do you either a) brag about "beating a festiva" or B) tell your buddy you "kicked a Festiva's butt"? You know, either way, you're going to look like a loser, so you might as well not talk about it. When Tim first came to me after buying a $400 car, and said the bugger was going to go 12's, I knew it was going to be COTM material. If there is one person in KC that is going to get a Festiva to go 13's or faster - it would be Tim. Funny thing is that Tim has been having so much fun with this little 4 banger, that he never gets a chance to bring out his real race car (10sec Monte Carlo). So, without more delay, I give you Tim R's daily driven Turbo Festiva (and no he didn't even clean it for photos).

    A daily driver 80's car for $500 or less in the Missouri area.

     

    I think you are looking at a Chevette or Dodge Omni. Something along those lines. Japanese cars from that time frame were not too popular in the midwest. I think the ones you do find that aren't completely rusted will cost more that $500.

     

    Just pick up an auto trader and see what I mean.

     

    What he said.

     

    You might consider flying to the coast and driving back. I got very lucky finding my car in KC, but for the price I paid for it, I could have picked up 3 or 4 s30's in Cali.
