i have decided that i am going to part out my 240 due to my newest and sweetest project car.....i bought a 1978 280z....in the least amount of words the car is sweet.....but im not satisfied with the power so im going to be doing a lot of engine work to it.....sadly i dont have the money!!!so i will be cleaning and the ca18 and doing some mild rebuilding on it and i am going to be selling to to fund the 280......im not quite sure how much to ask for, when i finally pull the motor out.....im going to put a new headgasket on it get all of the surfaces checked and ill clean the block prolly throw some arp head studs on it, new waterpump and stuff that ill get through work at next to nothing costs....just pretty much going to take some time of mine to clean it up..the engine has a sr-t25 turbo on it, earls stainless lines, and ill prolly sell it with the stock driveshaft, 5spd swap, and the full exhaust, and the brand new radiator i bought for it.....

but my problem is im not sure how much to ask for it.....everybody let me know what you think.......i know there is other things i will through in with it i just have to think........also if anybody wants to see pics of the 280 let me know, id be happy to show it off........thanks guys

Go..... the dattos!! :-)

ps. I'm not a lady. and I enjoy Dattos and CA18 fun.

I'd recommend you go for a R34 GTT RB25DET-NEO in the Z.



We all agree that better wheels need to be found for this nice ride.

A high compression L28 with a mean cam, header, exhaust and triple Webber DCOE's is a beautiful thing...
