Freshly reconditioned FJ20ET

https://www.classiczcars.com/gallery/image/11155-freshly-reconditioned-fj20et/

After driving my DR30 around for about 9 months, it started to use some water. A faulty head gasket was to blame, so a complete rebuild was undertaken. The engine is just about ready to be fitted back into the car (April 2003).

Did you "talk it up" a bit. I hear these are good to 300hp easy and depenable.

The only mod was a bigger compressor cover (RB30 T3). I checked the balance & it wasn't worth messing about (about 2-grams across all 4 piston/rod assemblies). It's still effectively still stock except a 3" system from the turbo. It might even get an intercooler one day!

FRENCH 1972 240Z

Well @Gav240z was here back in January. If you send him a PM, he might get an email notification.

Very,very late response but who knows Gav240z is still around ?
My 240Z is a 1972 french model , I bought it in 1990 and totally refurbished it ( from bare metal body shell) The original dashboard was perfect ,no cracks. It start developing cracks in 1995/6 . At that time I was working in the Middle East (Bahrain) and ordered in 1997 a new dashboard (was available ) through the local NISSAN importer. The one you see on the picture is that one fitted ion the car in 1998. Picture is dated 2001. Today in 2025 it is still perfect with no cracks. I have kept the original one and look from time to time to the different way of repairing cracks but until now none of them convince me.

Probably no different than using Photoshop on a regular image.. that's why it's so important to see a car in person before you buy it. ;)

Won't this make selling cars a lot more difficult, misrepresentation and all that jazz? @URGELIS could retire a rich man.
