Pete87 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 What about getting a datsun 240z that needs restoration and putting an rb26 in it that would be awsome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzee Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 What about getting a datsun 240z that needs restoration and putting an rb26 in it that would be awsome. Was going to say 240z as well, but stick with a Datsun engine like an L28. Some good power can be extracted out of it without headaches to make things fit.

bpmjames Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I'd love a 240z, aren't they expensive though? OP has 15k to spend and I cant see you getting a decent enough version to use as a daily for that amount? Or am I wrong?

choptop Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 If you want a car to keep for a long time and maintain yourself I would have a total rethink unless you have a big pocket. My main concern would be engine management unit\electricals etc as they get old. Remember the saying KISS. [Keep It Simple Stupid]. Not saying that you are stupid though What about something British?

rtbiscuit Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 don't tell me about electrical systems, mine has been off the road SORN now for 6 weeks, trying to track down an ABS fault. i've finally given in and its going to a specialist at the weekend. so far i've been out with the multimeter checked all the sensor,s the harnesses, replaced the ABS ECU, replaced both front hubs as the speed rings were damaged. still no luck and £700 and still no fix yet. only thing left to replace on the system is the rear hubs and the ABS pump. but before i do that i'm getting the bloke in Penge to check its not a fuse or other issue i didn;t for see. but once done it should be the last of the big jobs done. apart from the respray. then its off to sell it and get a diesel for the forth coming kids. will be a shame as i'll have just built the perfeect XKR which is now future proofed for the next owner of all the major faults as i've sorted them. so in short. old cars and old electrics can mean problems. but are great fun to work on. since owning my XKR i've learnt even more about bodywork, rust removal, brake systems, electrical work. i've designed my own exhaust, derusted a car, re wired, and rebuilt lots of parts and its been alot of fun learning along the way. so if you do buy an old car buy a sorted one thats been looked after, it will save you in the long run.

Leeroy Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 The 911's and Z3M's are a safe bet. S1 Elises should go the same way as the original Elan eventually, although there are a few more of them I guess. How's about an Esprit? An E30 M3 or Integrale would be an awesome ownershiop proposition - not 2 seaters I know. Maybe out of budget too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
