Re: Auto transmission 240z
It depends on how you define "rare." I'd say it's not usual, but not rare. I see automatic cars (in the US) for sale pretty often. I don't know what percentage of the cars came this way, but I'd guess that 10% of the cars for sale are automatics.
Does that mean that the number is representative fo the total population, or does it mean that people with auto trannies are more likely to sell their cars? I don't know.

I have to agree with Madzracer. Maybe it's because I'm in CA, but you see automatic cars pretty often. What's the point? I guess if your wife makes you get one that's fine, but otherwise get a manual.
A '73 Pinto station wagon is rare these days too, and I wouldn't advise anyone to hold on to that. Rare does not mean desirable.

...and automatics go out more frequently. So as you said, if the automatic dies in a 240Z most of the time the owner probably converted it to a 5-speed.
So there are fewer automatic 240Zs today than were sold originally. If you like the auto, but want something to do with it for more torque, get the 4-speed auto from a 1984 Nissan Maxima. That is the last year the Maxima has an L24 and also the first year Nissan used a automatic with overdrive in that car. So, that 4-speed auto is the only 4-speed that will hook up to the L-series engines. You can put a lower geared differential in your 240Z and still have some decent cruizing rpms. But the first couple gears will have some more punch.
