Something about these cars makes me have a "moment" in my pants. What a noise.

I got a good example for not silly money. I often wonder where people get their "facts" from when quoting such things. No offence intended, but you can buy a well cared for example for less money than you think, it wont be a concours car, but in my case i wanted a car to drive, not a garage queen to just look good.
What sort of money are we looking at then, never seen one for sale

You said in the article "throttle bodies"? They be carbs, the other vid of the screaming hakasuka is also on carbs. Anyway I love it and I want it. How much are these? I'm in the market for a classic

in the vid I posted they're 240+280z's.

Good 240z's are starting to get the attention they deserve so 10k upwards for one worth having. 15k gets a nice one, 20k gets a great one. In 5-10 years they'll be a damn site more!

Had one a few years ago. Superb fun car. Felt more specail than a lot of exotic metal. Would love another but it did demand a lot of money being spent on it. Don't let this put you off owning one they are a once in a lifetime type car. Thanks ph. Really enjoyed that.

You're right of course, apologies. I had a clear mental image of the six intake trumpets but any further memory was drowned out by the sound of six cylinders at 9,000rpm playing in my head. Ho hum!

I've emailed newera imports and the gtr shop trying to get an idea of prices. I can't find any for sale or if I can afford one, anyone have a idea of prices? I need something to replace my now sold mk1 escort, it doesnt have to be a gtr but a rep would be ok

Help guys
