Cant see a 240z in it, but I suppose you have to win it or something. there's 300zx twin turbos though! Mr C.

Is the lettering on the tyrewalls big enuff?? Bet they look like white wall tyres when the things moving.

Toyota 2000GT (1966 to 1970) Production: 337 units Construction: Steel body on backbone frame. Engine: Yamaha DOHC triple carb 6 cyl 1988cc, 150bhp @ 6600rpm Transmission: 5 speed manual Fully idependant suspension, coilspring and whishbone all round Disc brakes all round Max speed 206kmh (128mph) 0-60mph 10.5sec 0-100mph 24 sec 31 mpg. The reason it and the 240z look similar is because they are both based on the design penned by Albrecht Goertz. A modified convertible starred with Sean Connery in the Bond Film You only live Twice. The door handles look exactly like the celica door handle from the 70-77. Mr C

I saw a story on a car show where they took a new 200sx (silva) turbo and about 10 different filters and a dyno and tested which ones actulally made the most power. Suprisingly the car made less power with no air filter than with the standard filter. THe one that made most power I think was a hks foam type filter, but it was only up by about 10 HP over standard. Mr C

I was reading the post about a computer game (http://www.240z.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=13783#post13783) which referred to a site in denmark? (.de) www.nissan-szene.com, anyway I used google to translate the site and found a downloads page with lots of video. The last one on the list was datsun-power.zip (about 1.5 meg) so I took a look at it. It's a video of a Black 240z driving insanely! You gotta watch this. http://www.nissan-szene.de/cgi-bin/download/download.pl?file=datsun-power.zip its a .wmv file Mr C

Get the google tool bar for IE (and/or) type the web address into the search and click go or whatever. When it finds the page, click translate this page and Hey Presto you get the page in english. It makes enough sense to be able to work out the meaning of the page. works for any text based web page. So having done that the password for the zip file is "www.nissan szene.de" Mr C

Yeah once you get the engine running there's other stuff to worry about if the car hasn't moved for 4 years. Most importantly stoping! You'll wanna check your brakes are working and the pistons havent jammed up, and that there is no leaks either. Mr C

Looks damn ugly if you ask me.

From a website (that probably copied from anoter website or a book): horsepower: James Watt (1736 - 1819) observed that the average horse of his time could move a 550 pound weight one foot in one second, thereby performing work at the rate of 550 foot pounds per second, or 33,000 foot pounds per minute, for an eight hour shift, more or less. He then published his observations, and stated that 33,000 foot pounds per minute of work was equivalent to the power of one horse, or, one horsepower. foot-pound: One foot-pound is the amount of force required to move one pound one foot torque: The turning power of a shaft foot-pound of torque: One foot-pound of torque is the rotational force necessary to support a one pound weight one foot from the fulcrum of a weightless bar A full rotation of a one pound weight one foot from the fulcrum of a weightless bar is equivalent to moving that weight 6.2383 feet [radius ® of the circle = 1 foot & circumference = 2Pi x r ] and therefore equates to 6.2382 foot pounds of force You do the math! Also, Power measured in Kilowatts (kW) Torque measure in Newtonmeters (Nm) For all the non imperial speaking countries Mr C

Horsepower is a measure of power. Torque is a measure of rotational force.

Hi Halz If it's bonnet with vents in it and it's a factory original bonnet then it would be a bonnet from a 280z turbo which had vents in it to let the heat out. so yeah it could be a "rare factory fluted bonnet" but it's not original equipment on a 240z. 280z with the vented bonnet (hood)

Auxilary's awsome black 240z:

Have you set the points gap correctly. it should be .45 to .55 millimeters on a no emission controll engine or I think .30 to .40 on cars with emission controll gear. Might be a problem with the balast restistor (i think Z's have them), check there's a circuit through it. Hmm, what else, fuses, voltage regulator??? anyone got any ideas. Probably would have been easier to take it to a mechanic to find out what was wrong first before spending the cahs on a new coil, battery, plugs wires, rotor...etc.

That would be inches, since they are in America. Even in Australia photos are still reffered to in inches.

and my favourite (note the bigger wheel arches, giving it a lower look, and no rear side windows):

Now this ones not too bad:

or this:

How would you feel if your 240z looked like this:

A 240z features very prominately in the movie Capricorn One, about How the USA faked a mission to Mars, and planned to kill the astronaults and say they got killed during re-entry to Earths atmosphere. Based on the conspiracy theory about man never really landing on the moon. It's stars Elliot Gould, and at the end of the movie he's rushing around in a 240z. (might be a 260 or a 280, but its the 240z shape, not a 2+2) Inner space, features a wicked mustang, but in the background of one fo the scenes you see a 240z going by. and I saw an episode of sliders, and I'm pretty sure they blew up a dastun roadster. Bad people, that they are. Mr C

1) Just get used to your car. see how high to rev the engine an how quickly to let the clutch out, without either staling it or geting too much wheel spin. clutches were invented for a reason. hold first gear right up to 4000rpm, at least. 2) it was probably an auto. there's a reason professional drag racers have autos, not manuals, and there's no reason to take your foot off the gas in an auto. 3) again just get used to your car, workout where the powerband is. peak power will probably be between 4500 and 5500 rpm, for a stock engine, so that's when you'll want to be changing gear. 4) Get a bank loan to pay for all the new parts you'll be needing when the old parts start breaking And 5) Get life insurance so your family can bury you when you kill yourself.:dead: It's fun to beat someone off the line at the traffic lights, but when you get up to the speed limit the race is over. what's a chevelle? Mr C

Really. I've never heard that before. I know that the 240z was developed originally as a convertible to replace the roaster/2000 sports or whatever it was called in the country you live in, and the develpment of the convertible continued alongside the development of the coupe for some time (in the design studio at least). They even toyed with the idea of a mid engine coupe. Some of those early designs were very ugly (i've got photos to prove it). You should be glad the 240z looks the way it does, and the 2+2 looks great compared with some of the prototypes. I think the best angle to look at a 2+2 it from directly in front, ............so you dont notice that it's a 2+2! Mr C

Or if you feel like doing it yourself for free check out http://www.newtier.com/graber/z-car/gauges.html Download the zip file, Load them up in photoshop and have whatever colour you want ! And while your on the site check out the VR conversion. Mr C

Is this car a 2 seater or a 2 plus 2? ie, does it have a back seat. If it's a 2+2 I'd keep looking for a 2 seater. But that's just me, I'm not a big fan of the 2+2's shape, but mechanically its the same car. Mr C

If you're gonna go a complete engine swap for a efi turbo engine, why not stick with a 6 cylinder and put a RB25DET in it? There's photos in the photo section of a FJ20 in a 240z. Mr C

Yep there are crazy kamikaze car pilots that drive the wangan motoway at 300+kmH. If you wanna see the video evidence check out http://www.exvitermini.com and go to >movies>various. Mr C.
