Count the turbos!
I think this is just a complex airconditioning system! I mean lookat it, the exhaust (ventilation pipes) clearly goes straight into the cabin!! Imagine the power of that...

FILMS "Road test in the U.S. & CANADA Oct-Dec 1969"
Hi Kats! Yes I agree with you. I think they are talking about how the emblems will look, when they are made. I do not believe the story of Mr. K removing the emblems from the early exports. I think Nissan was a little more professionally run, even then. It is a romantic story, but doesn't really make sense to me. Perhaps this story is just a romanticised version (changed over the years) of the fact that Mr. K really really did NOT like the name "Fairlady Z" for the American market. We know that much is true, right? Here is another question! Do you know what they are shooting pictures for in the same video with the young woman? Has anyone ever seen a photo that looks like it could have been taken here?

What might come as more of a surprise is that it has the same 147kW as the S14...!

Numberplate Light
Hi guys, Has anyone got a spare, CLEAN numberplate light for a 240K? I only really need the lense, they're the bits that usually go all brittle and dull from exhaust. Cheers!

It's also heavier...! Beats me why anyone would buy it over the Spec-S. I mean nobody in a silvia is going to buy it just to be a poser......... edit : aw shucks, you beat me to it

States droping tax on gas !!
Excuse my ignorance, but.. err.. why? It's not like it's a BMW 7 series GPS system that can tell you the air-speed velocity of the pigeon that just shat on your windscreen, just a tracking device... (I'm not saying it would work, I don't think it would. But I am curious as to why you think it wouldn't work in cars without computers)

Brown Bread
Ed, how do you feel about the brown bread on the doors? I would be worried about it soaking up water and perhaps leading to rust.... no?

Vanquish is too fat! Fatter than a 350Z! The styling is absolutely brutal, not worthy of Zness IMO...

States droping tax on gas !!
How can they argue that tax for petrol should be paid for how far your drive, not how much petrol you use? Surely you would want to encourage fuel-economy, not discourage it?!?!? Or maybe it's just an excuse to monitor everyone. Next up - automatic speeding fines emailed to your door! err.. dont laugh too soon

pricey
It also has special "Mr.K" edition rear emblems. Personally fitted by Mr. K! That's why they are not in the position you'd usually see...

240K auto to manual conversion
Hi Coung, I didn't know you had a 240K! Can you post pictures for us please! As for your question, I don't know but I do know the hardtop and sedan have the same wheelbase! HKS has already answered the question anyway so it's alright. Anyway, HKSZ, how come you know so much about 240K's? Hmm??
