Hi all I have recently got a 260z 2+2 1974 model which is quite different in the chassis to the later 2+2 cars. I noticed that the chassis rails ar very short and look like the same length as the 240z. does anyone know if datsun used the front and front section of the floors on the 2+2. When I get a chance I will mesure it up and compare just thought it was interesting that the rails were so short? Ash

how cool is that, What a great job love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ash

that sump looks ok to me? whats the prob? Ash

that cars been for sale for about 2 yrs now. I think he wants to much for it. It is a nice job though not my style. Ash

The guy didnt say much and I was in shock for a while so I didnt really speek to him. He was fined $500 and had to do flags for the meating but its really no consolation for a written off car I think. I should be able to build the car back up but I dont know untill I really stip the shell and have a good look. Probably will need a reshell though as the passanger foot well is about 25cm wide now. I guess the only possitive is I am only brused not broken. Also my dad has said I might be able to run his TR8 race car untill my cars back on the track. Its not a z but it has a 5ltr V8 with harrop calipers, 6speed gearbox etc etc. Just have to make sure I dont end up in the same possition as my z. Ash

On Friday my car was totaled by a 944 Porsche:( Ity happened in pratice when I spun on the first turnand ended up on the outside of the coner about 2 meters of the race track. The Yellow flags cam out and I tryed to restart the car. I couldnt get it running again (carbies were flooded). The after about a minute a 944 who wasnt paying attention to the yellow flags lost control and t boned my car on the left hand side. I was not hurt just got a few bruses. But my poor Z is pretty much stuffed. Hopfully I can rebuild it but its soooo disapointing when you put so much time ito a car and some ##!! head runs into you. Anyway you can check out the picks in my gallery. I will post some better shots when I get time. The left side is prettty totaled and the transmition tunnel is bent and torn apart. Ash

Let me know when you guys will be at calder and I will come out and give my car a run too. I havent been to calder for ages I think my bes time was around 65sec lap time. hope to see you at sandown I am in garage 6 if you come. Ash

That time is unreal is it timed on a stopwatch or with proper lap timing system at the track. The nations cup cars would push to do those times. How much hp does the GTR have? I take it they are very good road tyres as well. Is there a chance they would race this car as GTRs are able to run in sports cars now. My best time is a 1.23 at sandown and 1.47 at Phillip Island. These times are timed on track lap timing system not on stop watch. You have to remember my car just has an L28 and triples and I bet the gtr cost a heap to get it going that quick! Ash

Hi I will be racing my 240z at sandown in Aus this weekend and entry is free on Sunday so come and support the z car

Hi all You have got to check out the new 350z race car on the following web site. Go to round 1 and click on the gallery page. It looks unreal. now I just have to convince the boss to let me upgrade www.jgtc.net Ash

hi Guys It will be great to finnaly get some melb z guys together for a chat. I will try and bring some footage of my race car etc see ya there Ash

Thanks so much for your help Alan. Ash

HI I will be leaving on Sunday. Is Alan back yet as I would love to know some places to check out! Thanks again Ashley

Thats a real work of art 10+++++++

Hi all I have been running std flat top cast pistons in my race motor for some time now (cannot afford forged ones). Just wondering what everyone out ther who run std cast pistons rev to. I rev my car to around 7000 constently in race situations. Not sure if it would hold together to 8000 but would like to know of anyone experiance. Thanks Ashley

1:18 is f@#$ing quick for a road car. Infact its bloody quick for a race car. Must be a real point and shot car though.I bet his engine cost more than my whole race car. Let me know when hes going to be on the track again cuase I would love to see it. Ash

Hi all I will be going to Japan and staying in Shinjuku for work. I am there from the 29th feb to 9th of Mar. Could anyone suggest some places to go around there to check out any zed related stuff. I would also like to pick up some fibreglass flairs if possible as well as anything else I can fit in my suitcase!!! Thanks Ashley

Thanks for the advice etc. I will post some pics soon. Dont worry I still love the Zed the best but I think the RX7 has a certain quirkyness about it being a rotory and all.

Hi all I picked up a 81 RX7 the other day for Aus$300. Dont know much about them but thought it would complement my collection. The body is in great condition but the engine is not running well. Ash

Hi I am trying to chase up a guy called Will who has a zed with an RB20 turbo in melbourne. If you are him or you know him please email me zr240@hotmail or PM me Thanks Ashley
