    Helen and Ant (the motorcycle guy) took some photos of my 240Z on the GTROC stand at Autosport International :-)

    My 240Z in Japanese Performance August 2019 issue - out now

    Once a media whore, always a... Anyway, my bronze 240Z is in Jap Performance mag's August issue. Seven pages and some really cool photos. I'm very chuffed. What the pics don't show is that the car needs some gearbox work. That thread to follow soon!

    What did you do to your Z this week?

    Well... I took the rebuilt 240 out for her second brief road-trip today. Had my o/h in the car so nothing lairy. Car feels quick but needs a bit of fettling. Power delivery is a bit binary - there's a slight flutter coming onto the throttle from tickover but as soon as that goes it really wakes...

    Part suppliers

    Skillard (US) I've got the deep 240 grille, front bumper deletes and sill protector plates with "Datsun" cutout. All a perfect fit, well wrapped and not bad at all on delivery time. Retro-Spec (US) I've got the RS front spoiler, headlamp cowls, scuttle panel, wide ZG arches, 3-piece rear...

    15x8, 15x9 15x10.5J and now 14x8" Atara wheels

    I've just put 10.5x15 ET-32 Pisangs on my 240Z with 245/45/15 tyres. If I knew how to post bloody photos I'd put a couple up!

    Modded L28 - single exhaust pipe or two?

    Hi all, my 240 is "getting there" and attention is now on the exaust. At the moment there's a single 3" pipe leading to a chunky 300ZX backbox. It's quite fruity as you can imagine. The backbox has rotted out and I want to replace it and the centre pipe. The engine is an L28 with a modded head...

    S30 Engine swap - but which engine?

    Thanks everyone for your input. Decisions took ages but I’ve actually gone with putting an L28ET into my 260 with an S14 box, while the 240 is staying n/a and old school with triples, a worked head/cam combo and a new exhaust :-)

    240z factory body brace?

    Wow... almost lost nuggets of information. There's also this from T3 that might help a bit but obviously isn't as involved or strong (but is cheaper!) https://technotoytuning.com/nissan/260z/240z-260z-and-280z-racing-harness-bar AND a chap called Andy selling various strengthening add-on...

    Triple 40 Mikunis

    I've got a set of triple mikuni 40's that I'm hoping to put on the 240 in the next couple of months. They've been sat waiting for a couple of years so it's time I got a move on! I could get webers but these are more in character, Can anyone suggest a parts supplier? Jets etc?

    Rusty Nuts and assorted bits

    Do I remember seeing a while ago somebody had found some zinc platers that they could go to with a bucket of rusty nits and after the exchange of some drinking vouchers come back a while later to find their stuff all nice and shiny? I've got lots of nuts and bolts and various small bits that...

    LM24Hrs 2015 - who was this ?

    Hi Sean, sorry for the very (very!) late reply. That was on Maison Blanche, right next to the Porsche Curves. They've changed it (for the worse!) in the last couple of years by adding a slip on/off the track there. The mob I go to LM with usually camp there - that's our "party tent" in the...

    SEZK meet today

    Sorry I couldn't get along - I was really looking forward to digging the 240 out for the first time this year but I'm only just getting over flu and didn't want to risk giving people any germs. This bug absolutely kicked the **** out of me last week so best kept to myself!

    Opinion on arches...

    Thanks everyone for the feedback. I love the look of the FuguZ, Brinkworth and Moonbeam cars but I do think the "classic" ZG arches look will wear better over time. I'm leery of cutting decent arches but one of the back ones on my 240 has some issues already and I've sourced a pair of front...

    Opinion on arches...

    I think the Toyo r888/r888r's are the only tyres in 235/50/15 now. I couldn't find 245's and 225's are a bit skinny for 10x15 wheels which is what i've got.

    Fiberglass door cards?

    I don't know about fibreglass but Skillard do them in aluminium at $214 the pair. Link says 280 but they do 240 and 260 too. https://skillard.com/products/280z-door-cards
