280Z in the Netherlands
280Z in the Netherlands
So now that our Z is almost finished, I thought I would finally join! My 19 year old son bought the car as a learning project that we could work on together with his 17 year old brother and their friends. The project has taken almost 3 years now and we are always just one repair away from having it completed. We bought the '75 280Z in Charlotte NC and it came with the original engine and a 5 speed. We imported it to the Netherlands where we live and started the restoration project. Now we almost have it on the road and are just working the kinks out of it. Latest problem has been a stumbling and missing when it starts warming up which has almost left me stranded. Still need to finish wet sanding and buffing the paint, then we can start enjoying the car. Oh wait, winter is almost here, so we will finish it just in time to park it for a few months!-

Restoration of BringaTrailer.com 240z
Restoration of BringaTrailer.com 240z
I got an itch to acquire another Z last year... This car on Bring-a-Trailer got my attention and I couldn't let it go. A project car, the previous owner acquired most of the important rubber parts, a NOS dash, a bunch of spares, etc. and did very little to it other than keep it stored in his garage in the Denver CO area for over 25 years. Prior to that, it was in Arizona. So, having restored one Z which had a fair amount of rust, I was super excited to think about restoring one with next to none. I've been at it for a little over a year now, and so I have a pretty good amount of the work done. My hope is that within the next 12 months, I can complete the restoration.-

Duffy's 1/71 Series 1 240z build
Hello all, I am going to document my build. Basically I have a garage kept series 1 240z. That hasn't driven since 1986, it needed brakes which she couldn't afford so it has sat since. It was resprayed in the 80s as well. Some bad overspray but overall it's a very rust free car. I actually found it in my neighbors garage. My goal is to drive it and enjoy it, but it needs some TLC. First and foremost I got it running, and that is when I made the decision to keep it and I have

Choosing an SU Needle - If I have needle station info and real world AFR, can I use that to find the right needle?
inline6 ·I have been driving my Z a bit with a wide band 02 installed. Generally speaking, the car is rich at idle and lean everywhere else. If I am not mistaken, the needles I have are the stock N-27. I cannot confirm because they have not markings. After reading the following post, I got to thinking... If I have the needle station measurements, and I can record my AFRs for each of the general categories of start, idling, pick up, cruising, and top speed, then might I be able to calculate the station
