240Z Spirit Garage

Such a cool video and this is why we own Zeds.

This driver really sums it up in his comments when he finishes his racing.

Enjoy!!!!

Yes those more than others such as the early Z series vehicles, early series skylines, Datsun's, Toyotas etc, however a market which has yet to start the increase IMO and one which you ought to get in on are ...

When racing had little rules

So sad I missed an era of racing like this. My old man had it good. When growing up he always harped on about how when he was younger and in the car scene in the late 70s, throughout the 80s and early 90s how good it was and how many different vehicles use to compete throughout the categories compar...

Damage to Z, but how do you prove..???

Hi all Just after some advice on the below. Last year I decided to get some oil hoses repaired on my Z31. I decided it was time due to a slow weep which had developed. I took my vehicle to a well known chap around town (Whangarei) who has been doing mech repairs, transmissions etc for many years. Th...

Air flow metre..? How is that? Also electrical connections how are they....? May pay to look a...

Best bet is to talk to somebody in your area who recharges gas struts they will be able to give you the most accurate info.

You will typically be looking to pay for a pair to be recharged anywhere from $40-$100. I've never know boot/bonnet struts to cost more than that unless you buy brand new ones.

5 Cylinder Engine......

It's called a L series Nissan :) :) :) I have to say though this guy can drive and is one quick pedlar. This series and spec audi ...

You will find that in 5-10 years time the later model Zeds 280, 300 will soon climb in value. It might be worth taking the gamble on a 280 as an investment as I can put money on it that you definately will not lose out even on a LHD. Obviosuly the 240z as mentioned has a real following, better engin...

Very nice looking 240. Looks neat, tidy and in original condition which is refreshing to see.

Do I spy a left hook?
