There's an international Z car club on the net with heaps of info. Can't recall the url though.
I used to own one, lots of fun, I rebuilt the suspension and it handled brilliantly but the rust demons came and ate it. And I was sick on little niggly things constantly going wrong, like leaking seals, rusty hatches, screeching brakes etc. L-series are good motors for their day, can be worked (lots of parts and advice available) and pretty quick in stock form.
I'd be tempted by a stock, restored 240z again, but not a 260z (slightly dumpier styling, esp in the 2+2).
Not really a reliable daily driver unless you've compeletely restored it. And they've all got bad rust, or badly repaired rust, and generally have been owned at least once by a dodgy sleazebag coz they're a cheap sportscar.
