DZ240

Thanks a lot! Funny thing, that IOZ shop is almost within the area from where I bought my Z I've got to ask the previous owner if he ever serviced the Z at IOZ. He mentioned something about calibrating the carbs. My driving season this year comes to an end. Plates run out in October. But my Z has a completely reworked suspension, so if you need some input or ideas, please let me know.

Hi there! Another great Z on german roads! Would you mind to tell me in which part of Germany you live? I'm desperately looking for some decent specialist to take on some work on my Z, including putting some Webbers on her. I live next to Heidelberg. If you don't mind, just send me a PM.

Hi George, nice to read your story here! Welcome! Yeah, we are kind of "neighbors" It looks like there is a project ahead of you. Enjoy it! And if possible, drive the car as often you can. They are built to be driven, those Z! cheers Luke

Thanks a lot! Yeah, it is the lime green. Meanwhile I detailed the car and the paint is more glossy now. Will shoot some pictures during September. Stay tuned.

Thanks guys for the hearty welcome! I already feel at home here. Thank you very much! I know what you all are talking about when referring to becoming hooked up to the Z. It took me only few moments of the whole test drive to fall in love. I love the mechanical feel of the Z, the short shift of the box, the engine sound (although a little bit muffled due to domestic regulations), the entire feeling that embrace yourself when sitting behind the wheel. My english vocabulary is lacking some superlatives to describe entirely what is going on inside me when pushing the car :tapemouth It is the whole experience you get with driving this car. When I happen to have really sad days cause something is going wrong with my business or the stocks exchange is not working in "my" direction, then all I need to do, is to get in the car, fire it up, let it rev and within seconds I forget the whole world around me. And if sun is out, a drive in the countryside is a must! Some teasers attached! More to come, I promise.

Thanks! I will upload some pictures soon. Everything I got now are some pics with the car standing in the garage. Not very tempting are they... It seems to me there are way more Z on the roads in NL then over here. Do you have a strong community in the NL?

Hi guys, Recently I purchased a modified 240Z. The car has tailored coilovers from K&W (fully adjustable), brake system upgrade with discs all around, Watanabe wheels, rebuild interior and few more. Ze overall condition is great. Ze car drives great. Thank you. ^this was a typical german introduction, correct but boring, haha. Just fooling around...:stupid: The Z is my first old school car in my collection. Until now I was collecting and driving mostly japanese cars from the 80s and 90s. There were (and still are) Hondas, Lexus, Nissan, but never a Toyota (don't know why cause they have some great cars too). And some french cars (no, they are not as bad as their reputation). But I'm digressing... So the Z was a surprise purchase over a holiday weekend. It popped up on the usual car webpages and after a short call with the owner I went on the road to inspect the car and bought it right away. According to the seller this Z is an one of in the whole country of Germany. And taking into consideration how rare those cars are over here, I totally believe him. It is like buying an old Alfa Romeo in the US. Hardly to get your hands on a nice one. My Z is fully restored and originated in the Californian sun. There were other Z on the market but either they were rusted or in untouched stock shape. My goal was to find one which is modified. There it was. Sitting in the garage, low stance on those beautiful Watanabes. Since I bought it I drove her about 500 miles around the area here. People take notice of her, even hardly anybody knows what car it is. Datsun? What's that? Nissan? Oh yeah I know Nissan but I never thought they built such gorgeous cars! Nice one! etc etc. Currently I have few small niggles with the electric (turn signal flasher is not working properly on left turn signal) but with the help here I'm pretty sure I'll sort it. Getting spare parts over here is a real challenge. The forum provides very helpful information and I hope I also can contribute to it any soon! seeya Luke
