JOSE

 

good luck! you have to be extremely lucky, or extremely rich to get one, even in japan there hard to find.

 

Don't let that get you down, they do come available from time to time, you will have have to keep looking every day and be patient.

 

try top find em those cars in austrelia...see if you can find one and see if they would send it..but like they say...you need to be rich for that

 

ohh. damn i guess. its harder than i thought. what would be easyer. brinding the whole car over? or converting it. into a right hand drive ?

 

Just keep looking. I have 2 a 74 with a gnose off of eBay and 70 that I got locally in SF Bay Area.

There was a guy selling his on eBay not long ago. His reserve was not met. Here is the link to the auction http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT .

Try to contact him if you really want one. I would have bought it, but I can't be stingy LOL...I already have 2.....and my girl would kill me if I bought another project car.

Good luck with your search. Remember you have to keep searching all the sites, news papers, classifieds even the local junk yard. I saw one at a Nissan wrecker once close to Sacramento.

 

a few years back I found a 1976 2+2 RHD car for sale locally that had been smashed in the front. Bent frame and all. I passe it up but only figured out years later that it would have been perfect to use the steering and dash to convert a 240Z to RHD. oops! I think the price went as low as $400 for that one.

I found mine on Zcar.com I had kept my eye out for any Fairlady Z's on the west coast for about 3 years. They're hard to find.
I've seen a few decent projects on eBay from time to time if you're willing to drive all over the country for one.

There is a 280ZX Fairlady Z for sale up here in Washington. Very cheap. Its in super condition and only $4500.

 

Hi, I am the guy with the RHD Fairlady 240z that was on ebay. The car is still For Sale and If your interested please contact me directly on my email at heffernancurtis@yahoo.com.

How much are you selling the beast and what colour is it?

 

It's the original Burnt Yellow Color. The price really depends on what you want with it. I have removed most of the trim and exterior parts. I have new replacements for Bumpers, Fender mirrors, lights, trim, rubber, interior, emblems, etc. Just the base car is $7500. It's in great shape and very little rust. Email me directly for specific inquiries at heffernancurtis@yahoo.com.

 

Wow sounds like the car is hooked up already. i just skipped all the parts and whent to the price only to find out hes asking too much for it. a year ago thee was one for sale RHD and everything completely stock for $2300 too bad i was'nt into 240's back then i would've been all over that car haha.

 

HOLY CRAP, i saw the weirdest thing today....i double took to make sure my eyes werent shittin me. ok so....i saw a right hand drive car.......but guess what it was.......go on guess............a damn saturn wagon...... A SATURN..........i thought those were american cars anywyas? plus who the hell has a RHD saturn? it was freaky......FREAKY

 

hmmm saturn is a japanesse car, but yeah weird...

 

o...yeah i didnt know, i thought saturn was japanese at first then said...no it isnt, and just thought about it and decided i was right saying it isnt cuase it just does'nt sound japanese, unlike toyota, or yokohama, or saganaki, or honda, or nissan even.....yeah, i still dont get it though.

 

sent you an email regarding parts.

 

I'm still looking for this car ... no luck so far.

 

still looking 2 years later. have you tried any of those importer sites? i saw one a while back that had a few RHD S30s, can't remember the name. they also had '99 z32s .

 

damn if only youd know the sites names or links that would help out yeah ive been looking trust me. i guess some peeps have more luck than others in these things :P i hope my time comes soon

 

There was one on eBay not too long ago...with in the past 6 months or so.

Here's one: http://www.classiccarsforsale.co.uk/...hp/carno/29318

Same car listed on different site: http://www.finecars.cc/en/detail/car...tml?no_cache=1

You've just got to keep looking and be patient...just as I said two years ago. You'll find one!

 

deng the car is un UK Arm and a leg just to bring it over :/ what do you guys think asking for opipnions here. easyer to find and purchase the RHD . or can i make it for a little cheaper than what i could find the RHD priced for ? THANKS for the positive feedback yeah still looking. every two days i search throughly hahah cant stay everyday glued to the screen haha

 

why would you convert one to RHD?? is that the only reason you want a fairlady? just for the steering wheel to be on the wrong side?

 

not really im da kinda guy that thinks different is good :P haha some may call ir weird some may call it being unike. I had the intention of buying a fairlady a while back as u can tell this post was posted 2 years ago me lookign for one. THEN.. i came across this WANGAN MIDNIGHT anime wich by the way. i HIGHLY recomend Z lovers watch. Watching that even made me want to get a rhd even MORE haha

 

I must be asleep ... dreaming I'm reading this ...

Are you um.... serious?

 

My opinion, don't convert one...far too much work, effort, and money! You'll have to get a different dash, do some firewall work, and the list goes on.

I pointed out the one in the UK as it's all I could find on a quick search and you did say that money was not a concern. You may have an easier time locating one overseas than here in the US...although they do come up for sale here from time to time, you just have to keep watching.

Yes, the Wangan movie is very cool...in fact it's been on my mind lately so I'm going to have to dust it off and watch it again myself.

Best of luck to you!!
