Well
i bought this car because it was close to me and i have never had a 260Z, the price was right (dont ask) and it a bit like being a kid and waiting for Christmas, after having a play a good jet wash down and a study of the paperwork i'm certain thats it a genuine 61,000 miles with 4 owners, got a bit confused today when having a little tune up as when i first see it i thought it had 240z carbs on but then today i realized they was not, but not 260z flat tops either, done a bit of research and i think there jag hd8 su's never had these before but done a quick tune up of them found the ignition timing at 2 degrees ATDC set that to 10 BTDC tell you what i can see what they mean about a late 260 z drives well, the doors shut like a modern car the throttle is so responsive (probably down to the carbs) and the gearbox and diff sound and feel like a 60,000 mile car what makes it feel great that the cockpit it totally unmolested down to the rear defogger warning lamp working and the Hitachi radio cassette working, its great to see it tuning itself mechanically, answer to you question Wyn after driving it today it was such an easy driver i'm looking at keeping it as my daily driver, ratty on the outside but mint on the inside,its had some good welding done by fourways to the lower inner wings and front foot wells and new full outer sills, also came with 2 NOS front wings and must have had replacement rear arches in its time ,looking forward to doing this and using it most days without worrying, i'll post some more pics soon of the carbs and the nice mans coilovers polybushed front suspension and 4 pot calipers
