hmm 99-now....still not as long as mine :( 97-now and I still need to assemble - problem with having a car like that and then moving OS for work, moving back to New Zealand then purchasing/building houses, having a family - but at least we still have them ;) I have 2 now one for each of my boys...

see the galleries section on my website - have not updated for ages - new project is at the bottom of the galleries page. nzeder.net

lol so true, I say that every year and I have been saying that for 16 years now lol

No about the same - I think 95/96 mine came off the road too - so 16/17 year now I have lost count lol. Ok you make me look it up...22 July 1995 was when the last WOF (MOT to you UK guys) expired. And I know I took her off the road about 3 months prior to that so that make 16 years and 9...

Looks great Dave. So what size tyres are you running on all corners. I have 245/45/16 and 225/50/15 on my RS Watanabes that are 16x9.5 rears and 16x8.5 fronts. I thought the largest tyre you could get in 16 was the 255/50/16 so who makes a 265? And what is the profile :D I have room in my steel...

That might be the case in your part of the world but 12 months ago I had my zed painted and we got the paint from the supplier just by giving them the "Datsun 240z 1970 907 GP Green" as the description and I must say it is right on the money :) I am in NZ by the way. Cheers Mike

Bring this back to life :D There is a guy in OZ installing a S50B32 into his zed. He has some stuff to work through - clutch M/C setup given the BMW leans the other way to the typical RB install + he is installing the engine as far back as be can. I have helped him with some direction the M/C...

bring back an oldish thread. This is not 100% ture. I have a general RHD export RS30 and it does not have the threaded holes. All the 240z I have owned or have seen did have these so the later 260z shell are different in this respect - well at least the one I have lol

yes my L3.2 was more than that and my mates L2.9 is more than my old L3.2 (better head work on his 2.9) for me it is the look of a DOHC engine that is all. There is no real performance difference - there might be in MPG but the good old L6 is a good engine Nissan did a great job on the L-Gata...

Engine was already build :) cost was less than my L30 bottom end build (which was N42 running 90mm bore, cast Tomie pistons from Japan, balanced blah blah sold after I sold my 240z race car. Head went with the car (it was a 3.2L) and bottom end to another local racer here in NZ) Time will tell...

Yes I am doing one :) it has been a long term project. The engine I have was build in Japan using a RB25 block and RB26 head. Internals are balanced with adjustable cam gears, high lift cams, 1.0mm metal head gasket the list goes one. It had the stock RB26 TB's and plenum with a Top Secret ECU...

I like this part and

hmm I wonder if a ZG Stainless bumper could be made for the front of my zed :)

Sounds like a good idea see how the rest of the setup feels before you hack the car up with the weld-in plates. Re the spring rates what is your take on it? My zed when last on the road was running 225lb both front and rear and that was ok for a road car. I have been/driven a road/race car with...

I have the kit from Dave aka Arizona Z car - however I have not installed the camber plates as I did not want to cut up the top of the struts. So I have purchased the camber plates from K-Mac in Australia - the front kit has camber and caster adjustments (not sure how much as my zed is still in...
