i'm toying around with the idea of building a tarmac rally car within the next couple of years as a side project. of course my first option is a zed. few question to ask as being more readily available over there people have a greater variety of combos.

i'm looking at a 280zxt 2 seater, i've heard people say they want RHD models over there, how easy are they to find? as if i can't i was thinking about getting a LHD one over then converting it using a local doner car.

I hear you guys all the time say people overpay for them over there so whats a good price for a straight, running 280zxt manual 2 seater? i ask because if i can get one at a good price its just then up to how much it is to get it sent over via a shipping container

also looking at making it a complete package, not just a street strip or great handling but no *****. what size wheel can i get on what size rim and still have it all fit? (ie 245/45/17 295/35/19) looking at it in terms of brake upgrades. No point going the toyota 4wd 2 pot calipers, looking for something more meaty that require a larger rim but no point going too large or i lose wheel width. Can get wheels pretty easy as many over here have racing rims for old celicas or s13's.

thats mainly the 2 humps as all performance parts can then be ordered from one place or another (msa here i come haha)

 

cars from canada will be expensive compared to the states, so go to usa for that part. i run 255/45/r17 on all 4 corners. youll need custom rims, and if you lower it youll need flares. and why cant you buy a zx over there? why spend the 4000 itll take for a container? modern-motorsports.com has one of the best zx brake packages. and i mean packages, no searching, just install. if you do his 5 lug upgrade, not spacers, but the whole new hub, you can run 3rd gen rx7 wheels, they are super light, and are 16" and wide as can be.

 

99.95% are n/a 2+2

 

in australia? why? everyone over there has big families?

 

There's nothing else to do... it's all "home entertainment"! just kidding! I LOVE Aussies!

 

you want a tenth aniversary car, 2000 bux from my buddy, runs good but has some cancer, but its the red/black 1980 true badges and numbers matching. i can throw it in a container. not turbo tho, but you could always swap later.

 

haha nar just want a turbo straight out if i do it. not fussed on colour as it will cop most probably midnight blue to make it look like the devil zed off wangan. so what am i looking at price wise?

 

umm dunno, never looked for a turbo one, it all depends on condition. could 5000 here for a nicer one, ill check and see.
