Time for some updates, it's been quite a while.
The car has been running and running, only some minor issues like fine rust in the tank clogging the injector filter. I clean it from time to time.
Summer has been great. Did a fun thing with my tuner. Drove the car to him and we swapped cars for a week. I took his Ascona A 16S. Had a great time with it. And he couldn't help himself after driving the Datsun, so he fixed some daily driving things with the tune. The car runs so well now in daily conditions. So smooth.
Last weekend was a big one. They run a big Japanese car meet/trackday called Japdays at a racetrack 260km away. So me and a friend with another Z drove there.
All packed up with spares and tools:
Weather was terrible, so I only drove two sessions. I had a bad off during my first session, but nothing damaged. I was quite close to the barrier. There was NO grip what so ever, but I can't blame it on that.
The meet was divided between a show and a trackday. My friend parked at the show and I went to the pits. I was the only older car driving on track, which made a lot of people happy:
My tracks in the sand:
Sand everywhere...
To get an idea of the conditions, my car spun the tires in third gear going almost 100mph an the straight...
Anyway, going the the car show, there were a few more Zs actually, and one of them was a real treat. One of the factory restored 72s they did in 1997!!
Just look at it. Like it left the factory in 72!
After the track we stayed at a friends house close by.
My friends immaculate 280:
And being in Sweden there is always a Volvo in a garage close by. 71 142:
Next days we drove to the last Sprint race of the season. Quite the detour, but fun. Of course my car stopped charging on the way, but I have now traced it to the black fusible link having a bad connection. So I managed to solve it so I could at least continue our adventure
Some videos from the sprint:
Now, it's back to normal duties:
