ArnZ Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 I am wondering why it has a 240 dash ? He still hasn't answered my questions, namely how he is making 300HP without a turbo, or .................. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilC Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I am wondering why it has a 240 dash ? He still hasn't answered my questions, namely how he is making 300HP without a turbo, or .................. Maybe the car didn't come with the dash or he had a crack free 240 dash. You can make the 240 dashes work in the 260/280's. Either way, the int looks like sh*t but it makes 300hp!!! lol I should email him and ask what does the motor make hp wise stock...prob 250..hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArnZ Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 That dash has a cap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Here comes trouble Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 with that battery on the passenger floor board I suspect an electric hybrid. The electricity coupled with that holly 350 and headers, that car could have 300 HP. Looks like a urine stain on the driver's side floor board. He must have opened it full out once or twice.

V8INtheZ Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Pretty good deal at that price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilC Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Pretty good deal at that price Price vs 300hp? ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowrider Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I was under the impression that the 260 vin started with RLS30. The add says that the vin is HLS30-158581, so it may be a late 240, or an early 280. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 That VIN would make it a 240. 260's are definately RLS-30 vehicles. And they did start with RLS30-000XX because I know who owns 260Z #90... There have been people that tried swapping 280/260 climate HVAC systems into earlier cars... And believe it or not, I have a FariladyZ S30-06225 that someone hacked in a set of 260 / 280 tail lights... I know HLS30-156466 is a 73 240, I own that one as well. Strange Beast. Strange Seller.

badjuju Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Thats the Bullshi+ vent the isn't the fuse block in a 260 in the console somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetleaf Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Yeah, I asked him what else he had done to the motor. Also, asked if he had dyno sheets. LOL Well I finally got a reply.. Here's what he said... "I'm selling this for a friend, the owner, who is computer illiterate. What's listed is all I've been told, and what the previous owner(who did all of the engine mods) told him. Call for any more questions, thanks."

Challenger Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Come on, give the guy a break. He is selling this for someone. This car is being sold out of Birmingham, AL, and if you have any questions do not hesitate to call Andy, at 205-401-5003. Seems like a nice car just not worth $6000+.

buZy Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I like the little rear facing scoops on the hood. I like them too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I like them too. Too bad theyre $120. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26powered74zcar Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Thats not even a 260. The US 260 did not have F.I., as you can tell this one did by noticing where the air cleaner bolted onto the radiator support. I can also tell from the shape of the lower radiator support from the pic showing the car from the front. oh, and johnc , I think John Washington sells those hood scoops, as I bought two CF scoops that are shaped like on that hood...

Tony D Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 OH THAT'S SNEAKY! What VIN number sequence did the 280Z begin at, it ALSO is an 'HLS30'!!! It could be a very-early production 280Z...Seeing the carbon-cannister mount, Air Filter mount, AFM Mount and A/C lines in that last engine bay photo....it's not a 260 for sure. VIN could correspond to an early 280Z as well as a late 240Z...given the engine bay evidence advantage 280Z... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollum Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 That's a pretty early production 280Z then, though I think it's quite obvious that's what it is. His VIN - HLS30-158581 My VIN - HLS30-201541 My car is stamped December/74 in the door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4xwellmurd3r Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Anyone else notice the missing inspection lid on the passenger side? And that's REALLY sneaky. I wonder what the title says haha (280z I bet) And that sort of explains the hood vents. they're on top of the stock vents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Wow, December 74 production 280Z IS early! I have a December 74 260Z 2+2, but the Air Cleaner Mount, AFM Mount, etc are all missing. Neat thing is I got the 3.36 R200...muahahahaha! "I digress" Y'know, it could be one of those 'VIN SWAPPIES' that you should steer clear of... I would be very interested to know what the door plate says, as well as engine bay and firewall VIN says. The 240 Dash WILL bolt-in to a later car...and if they just swapped the dash to make a 'good VIN' car they could sell, whomever buys it may get a nasty suprise when they open the doorjamb and see 'HLS30-367XXX' and that matches the hard VIN in the firewall, and the engine dataplate... Curious, no shots of the door jamb ID plate, engine ID plate, or Firewall VIN.... Hmmmmmm. I'd be steering clear regardless of the price until those issues were identified positively!
