This Datsun 240Z is a sought-after and engaging classic Japanese coupe, fitted with appealing modifications. Under the bonnet sits a rebuilt naturally aspirated triple Weber carburettor-fed 2.4-litre ‘L24’ inline-six, which sends its power to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. The odometer indicates 33,262 km, though the true mileage is not known. This Datsun 240Z is finished in white, with a black front spoiler and wing mirrors, as well as a carbon-fibre rear spoiler and light surround, over a black vinyl-trimmed interior. It rides on a set of four-spoke 15-inch Work Equip wheels, framing Wilwood front brakes with black callipers, and wrapped in Kumho Ecsta SPT tyres. Equipment includes a three-spoke Momo Prototipo steering wheel, a Kenwood stereo, Pioneer speakers, central locking with a Mongoose alarm and immobiliser, Cusco front and rear strut braces, Techno Toy Tuning custom Koni front and rear coilover suspension with adjustable camber, caster and damping, an R200 differential, a sound insulation kit, a 2.5-inch exhaust system, and an upgraded front air dam. During an engine rebuild in 2013, the head was reconditioned, the block was bored to 60 ‘thou’ and decked, and L28 intake valves were installed alongside new guides, seats and seals, oversized 50 ‘thou’ flat-top pistons, heavy valve springs, ARP rod bolts, a CT58 702 performance camshaft, a new oil pump, and a new starter motor. In 2016, new triple DCOE 40mm Weber carburettors, a Kameari intake manifold with all-new connecting rods, an electric fuel pump, an aluminium radiator with thermo fan setup and water pump, and a Skyline electronic distributor setup were added. In 2022 the 40mm Weber carburettors were rebuilt and retuned. Accompanying the vehicle will be the original service manuals, some documentation rebuild documentation, a record of all services completed since 2015, and the original steering wheel, shock absorbers, and painted front valance sections which were removed when the air dam was installed. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: a full respray and some rust repairs were completed in 2013; the passenger-side rail was pulled a small amount on the chassis rig to correct the steering in 2016; further rust repairs were completed in 2022; there is a small paint drip and two small stone chips on the front bonnet area; minor paint peeling inside the fuel filler cap due to fuel spillage, which is also present on the right-rear quarter; the front-right fender has marks from the mirror being bumped; the seats have been retrimmed; cracks in the dashboard; the centre console above the shifter is not original; some air flow (heat) functions are not working as the cables need to be re-attached, though the blower fans works. The front passenger footwell carpet is missing, though the car is provided with rubber and chequered mats. The most recent service was in September 2023 at around an indicated 32,500 km, which included replacement of the engine oil, spark plugs and rear-left drum brake. In 2022, the gearbox was rebuilt with new synchros, a new slave cylinder, and braided clutch lines. The front brakes have been replaced during the seller’s ownership. The steering rack was rebuilt in 2017. In 2013, the subframes were sandblasted and the bushes were replaced. Rust repairs have been carried out by Custom Car Creative, which included either repair or replacement of the right-rear floor pan, right pan/sill panel seam, left floor pan, firewall, and battery tray area. This 240Z is a striking example of Datsun’s iconic 1970s sports coupe, benefitting from some restorative maintenance. Now fitted with desirable upgrades, it will make a stylish companion for spirited weekend drives, long-distance tours, and car shows.
