I was having a serious idling issue with the 240 that we just got around to looking at last week and it is solved -- it was a bad fit between one of the carbs and the spacer plate to the intake manifold, making it impossible to tune. But it was just sitting around so the problem went unresolved. About a month ago, I got a wild idea -- put the 240 back on the road.  So a buddy who's an old school Z expert, Colin and I are getting her back in shape. I have lots of little things that I want to do in the next six months or so. Driving-wise the 2 cars are very different. If you do not mind the noise and the 41 year-old Datsun smell, then consider the 240 a better handling vehicle. I am not really a big fan of power steering and the 240 handles/steers QUICK and very flat. Of course, some modified steering components and suspension work help. The 370 is faster and more comfortable. Also, I am positive the 370 will get me where I am going without the little "what could break" thing the 240 causes me to have in the back of my head. Last, the exhaust sounds is very much better on the 240 -- header to pipe to Dynaflow = music to my ears.

 very awesome man! I love me some S30... I almost bought one when I was in Tucson but the guy wanted like 15k for it... I wasn't in a position to pay that much for that old of a car. However, with that said, I have driven a few that were like new, and wow.. they handle so well
