Hahaha, well it’s an old American style race car ; )

Well, it’s the first only Japcar meet since 2007 and we were 610 cars so that was great. Still only 5 Z cars.

Took the Z to Japdays at Mantorp Park.

Here’s a new dash from Vintage Dashes with a km/h face swap. There may be a small stock of the dashes (If it was a 240z you had) here in Europe if you are interested @EuroDat //Andreas

Well, depending on were in the world you live parts aren’t as available as in other places. I live in Sweden and when i swapped my oem cam in my Us spec 240z for a Schneider cam (head had been rebuilt in the USA and the rebuilder wasent as exact/good as he should have been) the lashpads had to be adjusted a bit to get the exact wipe. I left the pads and my measurements to a mechanical school and they grinded them down to the size i wanted (then I could take some off if needed by myself with a small file. For me it would have taken 2-4 weeks or so to get correct lashpads from the US. This way it took me a couple of hours. I started with size 190 (that was all that msa had to offer) but can’t remember were i ended up, there were not to much that needed to be taken off the pads but still... better to aim for the exact same wipe on all then just make it work. //Andreas

Nice!! What head gasket (thickness) was used and how tight was it between pistons and valves? Is the head shaved and how much in that case? //Andreas

Just a heads up.. The pillar emblem for the early Fairladys are allready being replicated/made in Europe.

Attended a nice small car meet today.

Looking forward to it.

Past inspections today now its good for another 2 years.

Out drivning and enjoying that there are no oil leaks ; )

872F2D80-DA0C-48B4-8F79-1E2BA3AE88C5.MOV A160km drive done and no leaks....yet. Carbs and linkage have also been synced, valves adjusted etc. Now it really goes, made a great improvement.

Up and running again, now just wait to see if there’s any oil leak. 244F8B31-A054-447B-BA3A-230EFB69A862.mp4

Condition of the Schneider cam and valves/bolts etc checked. All looks great.

I know the feeling, I have always finished my projects fast i think but the last project, my Mr30 E88 Head build with the potter cam (same as you have i guess?) will take a long time. Really annoying but sometimes you just have to accept that $^!# happens and sets back things like this. Keep up the good work. I’m interested to see how it works out. /Andreas

Well, its back together. Just waiting on oil and filter.

Side seals was my guess and it seams like i was right. Using oem Nissan seals this time.

Better luck this time....

Time to get rid of the annoying oil leak

Took the Z out for its first run this year, haven’t done anything to the car this winter except swapping the battery. Car runs great but still have a small oil leak, need to take care of that soon. Still amazed how small these cars look besides a normal sized modern car : ) //Andreas

Hmmm.... What could shipping be to Sweden, Im in need of a better clutch. /Andreas

Yes, 290 is what is supposed to be
