Very nice especially in that yellow paint, I'm still not sold on the black under the front bumper though, but i appreciate that's how the G nose is. :D

Got back yesterday from the Le Mans Classic after a fantastic trip in my Fourways Engineering prepared 240Z.
Over 800 miles with absolutely no issues whatsoever !
Lots of great feedback from fellow members, so glad I decided to keep it.
Aircon would have been nice, one day ....

I thought the windows open created low pressure in the car and pulled in fumes if there were any leaks through the back end?
Correct. Check weatherstrip sealing and rubber bungs in bottom of Hatchback door.

Best to keep fan on and have air vents at side of dash open.

Not necessarily the main cause, but the quarter panel vents on your car were filled and covered with the earlier '240Z' type non-vented emblems. The car would originally have had the superseding round 'Z' logo emblems with venting function. As it is, with windows up, there's no way for 'used' air to escape the interior of the car...

Might - at some stage - be worth investigating the possibilities for opening up the quarter vents again and re-installing the vented type emblems. That would allow a certain amount of windows-closed flow-through with the under-dash fresh air ducts open.

Update on my Gnose, fitted electric power steering last year after seeing a kit on a stand at last years LeMans Classic, much nicer !

Now underway with changing the back end back to standard (ish ...) - all by Fourways Engineering, of course !

This is going to be banging Matt, I’m tempted to buy one of those kits as well…..maybe I could bring it back with me this year?

Will this be ready for Spa?
