I know this car is a long way away from old Mother England, but just putting it out there as a matter of interest:-
This car was the subject of a ground up restoration in 2002 and was built as a Tarmac Rally car. It has since featured in many magazine articles and has often been regarded as the best Datsun 260Z in Australia. It has been extensively modified by its present and previous owner to enhance its handling and performance and has the following modifications;
· 3.1 Litre ‘Stroker’ motor by Stewart Wilkins Motorsport (SWM) with hand built headers and stainless steel 2 ½” mandrel bent exhaust system.
· Triple 45mm Weber carburettors with Custom Airbox.
· Trik hand built 6 point bolt in Roll Cage.
· Cobra race seats
· Fully adjustable suspension incorporating adjustable front and rear lower control arms and height adjustable suspension struts with Bilstein PSS9 dampers.
· Nissan Skyline R32 GTST gearbox
· Nissan R200 differential with KAAZ LSD 4.375 ratio.
· Willwood front brakes with Nissan R32 rear disc brake conversion with hydraulic hand brake.
· Konig 16 x 7” wheels with Yokohama AO50 tyres.
· SWM electric power steering conversion.
Since being acquired by the present owners in 2006 this car has been maintained and improved regardless of cost with all work undertaken by Stewart Wilkins. Following an engine refresh in 2010 the electric power steering was fitted together with SWM custom sway bar links and rear diff mount.
The car has competed at numerous race tracks around Australia, including Mt Panorama, Bathurst, Wakefield Park, Sydney Motorsport Park, Oran Park, Phillip Island and Morgan Park and run faultlessly whilst being very competitive. It is an ideal car for Tarmac Rallies, Regularity or Super sprints.
