I am pretty new to Z's myself, but one thing I do know is check everywhere for rust: front end, hatch, underbody (especially the mounting locations). Z cars were very prone to rust, unless you were somewhere with no snow, like Arizona. Do you have your heart set on a 240, or were you just going for something pre-z31? If you just wanted an s30, I would try to find a 280z with the L28E or ET, simply for the electronic fuel injection (or you could just swap in an RB, like GMac ) Like I said, I'm pretty new to Z's and i'm sure one of the more seasoned members of this forum could give you much wiser advice than I.

rust is the number one killer, the mechanicals are simple easy to work on and pretty cheap (especially compared to that VH), it's far cheaper to start with a good solid chassis with no drivetrain than to start with a good drivetrain in a rusty chassis, especially if you want to do the scb conversion like the one you linked (you can duplicate taht car for far less than the list price) also be sure to contact your local ZCCA affiliate club (zcca.org) your local members might have a car for sale or at least knwo of local cars for sale and will be able to show you the problem ares or maybe even look at a car with you

thanks. I did talk to him ad he said it had some rust issues that he cut out and repaired.
