Stealth-Z Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 They are around and sometimes show up when you least expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight-280Z Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Would you mind a RHD 280ZX? My mechanic's friend is selling one but I wasn't interested in the 280ZX body style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArnZ Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 There are several of us on this site who own JDM Z's. I have not seen many S30's anywhere for sale right now. There is one @ http://www.zcar.com/forums/read/8/1987012 .There is a S130 on e-Bay, they have been trying to sell for a while. The price has fluctuated a couple of grand in the last 3 months.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Datsun-Z-Series-280ZX-1979-Nissan-Datsun-280zx-RHD-JDM-Fairlady-240z-rare_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6187QQihZ002QQitemZ120350901959QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW There is a "Riced out" Z31 on CL in Vegas http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/cto/965754153.html Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naviathan Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I have an 82 Fairlady_280z, but she's not for sale. Had a 79 also, but it was a complete rust bucket and the guy I bought the 82 from took it for parts to knock some off the total of the 82.

DatsunKing1 Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 I want a RHD 240-280z because I want to build a replica of the devil Z from wangan midnight. I love that car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DatsunKing1 Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 Nice...Love the Devil Z. I'd like to see that when it's done. lol I'm in love with it, I want to paint it matte black though. (Maybe) "He soon finds that the car is unnaturally fast due to a tuned L28 engine, bored and stroked to 3.1L and fitted with twin turbos, that produces unmeasurable amounts of horsepower (620hp)" ^^ that will be hard to achieve. lol but it would be soooooooooooooooooooo awesome. http://zdriver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26496&highlight=devil+z ^theres a thread about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I want a RHD 240-280z because I want to build a replica of the devil Z from wangan midnight. I love that car. Devil Z was not a 240. I have several: S30 S46 (1971) Fairlady Z (S) GS31 S51 (1976) Fairlady Z 2/2 (S) GS31 S52 (1977) Fairlady Z 2/2 (L) HGS130 S53 (1978) Fairlady 280Z (S) Then, there are the North American Market ones I own as well... My company is based in Export PA...maybe I'll drive one of the Fairlady's back East so you can drool over it...LOL I drove through there coming back from the San Antonio ZCON a few years back with the Grey 2/2 Fairlady towing my spares trailer on the way to visit relatives in Michigan.

naviathan Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 haha..."unmeasurable amounts of horsepower (620hp)" Wait I thought was unmeasureable???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehelix112 Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 RHD does make it easier to fit a turbo L28 I agree. Good luck, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedRacer Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I am pretty sure that 1 Fast Z has one and I know that Chelle converted hers to RHD. There was a thread asking about converting from LHD to RHD. http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=139387 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight-280Z Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 any pics? I found a red one a few weeks back and its a heap of rust Let me get a hold of him and get more info for you. Also, just let you know. This vehicle is located in California. BTW, 280Z only existed in North America. So finding a JDM 280Z will not be possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DatsunKing1 Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 thanks man, if worse comes to worse, I'll just make my own. I've heard it isn't that hard, If I make a custom sheet metal dash it would probably be even easier than finding a rhd z dash anyways lol just depends what comes my way and the right time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximmagnum Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I also just registered, and I am the proud owner of a 1972 Fairlady Z... don't think I'll be parting with it though. That's why they are wicked rare...nobody wants to part with them (unless the price was really really right...which it won't be) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forchunet Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 dont know if this was posted already but check it out. http://www.classiczcars.com/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=3474&cat=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 One of the primary reason they are 'wicked rare' is that total JDM production of the S30 and S31 Series Vehicles from 1969 to 1977 was only about 78,000 units. This is about equivalent to the Export production number of units sent to the North American Market in 1974. A Fairlady Z is about as rare as a 1974 North American 260Z as a general marque. TO nail down a particular year, there is nothing except for 'specials' they did like the ZAP Z and the Black Pearl that rivals any individual year of Fairlady Prodution number. Some years they only produced little over 1000 cars, others 10K+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArnZ Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Here is one on e-Bay, I talked (e-mail) to the owner if it was a actual Fairlady. He confirmed that it has a Fairlady Z emblem on the dash. He had it listed the first go around for $1500.00 (reserve not met) as of now 01/12/09 for $1000.00 (reserve not met) http://tinyurl.com/7aqa9a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilC Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 ^^^^^^^^^ Asking price for that car is $3500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
