If Les Canaday wanders in to this thread, he could give us the tale. It was up to $52k this morning. It was at one time in Dad’s Rootbeer livery And I think Bob Sharp bought it and made it a BSR car. It’s on Bring a Trailer if you want to keep an eye on it... Name Z's like that one bring too much money for most racers but I've heard of three ex US race S30's recently imported here, no pics yet.

HS30-H Posted November 3, 2017 Share #1107 Posted November 3, 2017 2 hours ago, conedodger said: Anyone know this car? It's the works SCCN team Nissan Fairlady 240ZR, shared by SCCN works team drivers Masahiro HASEMI and Kazuyoshi HOSHINO in the 1973 Fuji 1000km race, held on 29th July. Nissan's SCCN works team had entered three cars in the race; two 240ZRs and an 'experimental' modified 240Z (testing new parts for long-distance racing), all in the 'R' class. The two 240ZRs were running bored-up, crossflow headed LY24s on ECGI injection and the other car was running an FIA 'Safari' non-crossflow head, also on ECGI injection. The race was badly affected by typhoon conditions, with HASEMI and HOSHINO crashing out after contact with another car after only 24 laps. The sister 240ZR, shared by Kunimitsu TAKAHASHI and Kenji TOHIRA, crashed out on the 57th lap, but the third SCCN 'experimental' car, shared by Seiichi SUZUKI and Yasunori TOSHIMORI, finished 7th overall and third in the 'R' class. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siteunseen Posted November 3, 2017 Share #1108 Posted November 3, 2017 Wow! What an interesting post. I did a reverse image search and found a lot of rainy race pictures, typhoon maybe. Could be the other 2 cars in some of these? Thanks HS30-H. http://japanesenostalgiccar.com/forum/forum/garages/datsun-nissan-garage/287661-vintage-datsun-fairlady-z-and-240z-racing-and-rally-images Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are images of the three Works SCCN team-entered cars from the '73 Fuji 1000Km race: The No.8 car is the TAKAHASHI/TOHIRA 240ZR and the No.10 car is the SUZUKI/TOSHIMORI 'experimental' test car. The No.10 was repaired and, as I mentioned above, managed to finish the race and place third in the 'R' class. It was a tough race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
