Re: New Build - 73 240Z - RB25det

Hi all.
My z is finally back on track after a long hiatus....child (now 5)....house build (not quite finished).... all that good stuff to slow it down!!
She’s just been painted. Almost 10yrs after i bought her she’ll be waiting for reassembly soon. Have virtually all I need to put her back together.

I’d go with the stainless ones.
Think they are out of Thailand but have seen ones they do for vw’s and they are fantastic quality.

If it’s LH240Z rego it’s a pretty low vin.
I Used to own it before Z’s were worth anything. Rebuilt engine and suspension at the time. Good car.

The 240z I did the USA trip in is now complied!! Went through no problems. Couple of paint touch ups to happen and then rock and roll!! Also the 260z is on NZ shores and I’ll pick it up next week. She doesn’t run but after sitting in a garage since 1987 that’s to be expected. When I get her in...

It's got some great potential. In some areas she's cleaner than the 240. The seller took the plugs out and put some WD40 down the bores and left for 2 days, just in case, then cranked it to check she wasn't locked up. Brakes are functioning etc. I'll give it a good going over when she's here. Check ...

Umm. 20yrs between them so very difficult to quantify. 964 is an amazing machine which combines the classic looks and "modern" mechanics derived from 959 supercar...... she just goes! and you have the certainty of 4 wheels drive / abs / big brakes etc etc. 240z was amazing for its time but...

Got a chance to give the new Z a scrub today. Wheels off and clean some of the dirt off to reveal the joys of a Californian car. And gave the interior a good vaccum and discovered a very interesting original feature- ever seen these carpet clips before?? All new calipers / rear drums / hoses etc. ht...
