Interesting day yesterday which I thought I would share. My 240z is pretty original aside from an L28 engine swap by the previous owner. The big issue here is the fact that it has been in storage for many years before I aquired it and my lack of understanding to the ravages of time. My car has...

Well, it's finally happened....new V5 arrived and new plates fitted to my 240Z so another one on the roads again. First legal drive and not I was not disappointed. Very very pleased with the car but as you would expect some minor issues require attention. The two most pressing ones are two...

After only ever driving a 240z once at the age of 17, thanks to an offer from a mate who had just bought one, I've finally driven one again yesterday!! Its certainly been several years since that day. Over the last few months I have been preparing the one I bought but have only been able to...

Can anyone recommend or give a link for purchasing Datsun Blue engine paint in the UK or closest match please. Sent from my GT-N8010 using Tapatalk

Hi Folks, I'm in the process of removing the mass of pipework that relates to the anti-smog componentry on my L28 engine. As you can see from the photo I have a nearly new air galley rail and air purge valve that I will finally have off the engine this weekend (been a pain as I'm having to...

Hello Folks, Just thought I would introduce myself as a new member and owner of a 240z. Its taken many years but I have finally been able to take ownership of a ca that I have always wished to own. The last and only time I drove one of these cars was when I was 18 years old. A mate of mine had...
