I will post more for you mark. That is Mr. K's 240z with a g-nose.

This is after a 7 hour trip to longbeach, and I had only had 1.5 hours of sleep the night before due to cleaning the car. Trying to sleep in the passenger seat of a S30 is not easy. My Dad got some shut eye while I drove with the wind in my face and the radio on pretty loud. We finally made it to a Starbucks and I was set. It was funny because we had just checked in to our hotel and we were on our way to lunch when I saw this beautiful blue Z and right off the bat I knew it was Kats. So, I honked my horn and we both stopped and chatted for a while. These were some great times. Ben

I was extremely excited. Couldn't you tell? Hehehe

I can not explain the ride in that car. It was unbelievable. First of all, it was my first time in a RHD car. That was very wierd, but very cool at the same time. Secondly, as Mr. Akamatsu came out of the corner, he didn't mash on the gas, but it sure felt like it. The engine sounded so right. It was very loud, but it sounded great with the backfires and all. I have never been in a rally car, however this felt like one. It was an experience that I will never forget.

The pictures don't give his paint justice. The paint is as smooth as glass.

Your car is magnificent Kats and I think if you were in the stock 240z class you would have won. The difference between your car and the stock cars were that every original piece was there on yours, but on the others they had the major pieces but not the hard to find parts. Your car is truely a rolling piece of art. Take care, Ben

This was only for the US export late model 260z's built during and after october 74' to comply with federal regulations to go from 3 mph bumpers like mine to these 5 mph bumpers. Lachlan, I wouldn't say it ruins the beauty of the car. That little over-rider on the front is what is ruining it. Hehehe.

It was great. That night was the best. They were all great guys, and getting a chance to talk with Matsuo was a dream come true.

That sounds awesome Craig. I would have loved to see the battle.

This was a great car. It had a Datsun Competition steering wheel. very cool.

Yes, this is Hironao Miyake. He won 2nd in the daily driver class. He was a great guy and he had one great car.

This is a great shot. I would have loved to see this car on the track. I heard he was super fast. He was showing my his right front tire and the outer edge was melted.
