http://newhaven.craigslist.org/cto/854979737.html
^ I'm really excited about this. I don't care about how many miles are on it etc. I think I found my dream. Anyone know the shipping from New Haven, CT to Pittsburgh PA? I'm in school right now about to leave study hall. (yes i look up Z's and z parts/info in my spare time
lol
I'm so pumped. how hard would it be to convert to a manual? if its auto.
ANY ONE KNOW OF RHD datsuns I'll take em!

no you wont hoov. you just get the brake/clutch pedal assembly from a manual ZX the rest of the cars are exactly the same, its time consuming but very easy and straight forward nothing custom is needed.

Bleach I like your thinking. How about Twin-Turbo? The Biggest two turbos you can fit. But seriously that would be pretty cool. As everything important is on the driver's side in the US and I never find myself needing to get down far on the passenger side.

ya, twins have their purpose.... but on an inline its a lot of piping all on one side. ESPECIALLY on the L-series where it is not a crossflow head.
you often see people run a large single turbo on an RB26deT(T) slightly more lag but less stuff to go wrong and still plenty of power.

thats alot of rust. shipping if it drives will be around 5-8 hundred bucks depending on many variables. DAS is s good company.

This is the same car! I got these pics off an ad several years ago.
With how rare the 2-seater RHD 280ZX is, I wonder if its the only one in the USA. Also, its remotely possible that it is a converted Z.

In a 350Z, they are on the driver's side of the console for both LHD and RHD.

Hmm idk. I think for it to be legal in the states if you have one shipped you have to swap the speedo to read mph if it doesn't already. But then again I just brought that off the top of my head so don't quote me or nothing lol
