Hi guys, The 240Z's were brought in although not in big numbers like Australia or US after the success of the 510 SSS.There are only about 10 that I know of in existence in KL. The 1600 SSS were a performance icon back then which paved way for later versions of the 510 ie 610's which were not as succesfull as the 510's. Proud to say that my dad still has the same 1600 SSS which he took delivery of in 1971. One owner after 32 years still in original condition eventhough it goes in yearly for its rust checks and treatment. All the 240z's sold here were Jap spec export models with the clear indicators under the front bumper and labled " Fairlady Z". I shall get some pics up after the weekend.

Hi Dazza Well there is only a handful of 240Z's in KL. Most of which are kept under covers. As such there is not really a "local" 240z scene. Most of these owners have poured good money into their 240z's. They are not daily runners with the exception of one or two I know. Tried to get my 240z into the classic and vintage car club in Malaysia but was put off by their anti-japanese snobery. You know unless you have a Jag or an MG its not a classic car ... a very sad and narrow minded lot. Never mind to each his own.

Greetings from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Checking if there are any 240Z enthusiast in my part of the world. I have a red 240Z with a triple weber setup, stage 2 Cams and a ported and polished head done by Spike from Samuri conversions, UK. Janspeed exhaust and wolfrace wheels. Hoping to hear from any 240Z owners out in this part of the world.

ricer or not ...the fact of the matter is ... the jap auto makers are more succesfull world wide. Whether it be a 240Z or an Integra Type R they have the audience with the disposable income to afford them and all the mods that go with it. They have a winning formula. Just out of curiosity, if a person who drives a japanese car is referred to as a ricer than a person who drives an american car would be a "hot dog" .... hhmm

A friend of mine use to have enormous difficulties trying to find alloys for his Peugeot 405. Now with an adpator over the standard Peugeot bolt pattern he is now able to have a wide choice in Honda styled rims as he is now running Honda bolt pattern. So if you are really stuck think outside box .... anything is possible even Ferrari 355 rims can be made to fit the 240Z. Why endure those ridiculous prices these vendors are asking for?

Triple webers setup properly in conjunction with a hot cam and ported and polished head works very well. Dont forget to work on the ignition as well. If you expect to just bolt on triple webers or Mikunis for that matter and expect big horse power gains then you will be dissappointed Obviously I am running a triple weber 40DCOE setup with 290 cam with a ported and polished head. Still enjoying the car everytime I go for a drive. Idling is a bit limpy with the 290 cams which is the only drawback. I am ordering the air box from TWM which looks the business. Cant afford the carbon fiber version.
