Hi guys I also have a 3 piece rear spoiler which I am currently fitting to my race car. It is a copy of the ones that they ran at lemans in the 70's except it raps around the back a bit more. It should be fitted on the car by next weekend. I will try and get a chance to take a photo of it. If it works well on the track I will be making a mold so if people are interested I can make a few. Ash

I like them. I can get one for you if you are after one! They were made by datsun.

Hi guys does anyone know were I can pick up a cheap r180 4.1 diff (opencentre) as none of the z shops around melbourne have any Thanks Ash

send me an email I think i can help you out Ashley zr240@hotmail.com mob 0418508756

The car is fairly competitive in the modified under 3 ltr class . infact it kicks arse the z is the best uder 3ltr na car around I reckon. The alfas, clubmans and even the small cap porsches couldnt beat me. Infact (warning I may be braging a bit hear) event the 3.1 ltr z that had all the bells and whistles couldnt touch my car. Just to give you an idea around the phillip island curcuit the other z cars were doing 1:55 sec laps and I managed a 1:47 with an apparently inferiour car go figure. Alot of peolple told me when I brought the car 3 yrs ago that you needed all these special bits to get the car to go fast and you had to get the engine built specialy with forged pistons and dino the car and have the shockers special set up etc etc. I built my own engine with A$200 pistons and setup the car in the garage at home with a tape mesure and bit of wood and ended up last year beating all the V8 cars and finishing 5th outright behind 4 2002 spec turbo porsches. If anyone ever tells you a z doesent kick arse for value/speed and ease of working on then dont both speaking to them any more. Ash

forgot to metion adjustable platforms with koni inserts adjustable front and rear sway bars rose joint front end adjustable rear lower control arms think thats it Ash

Thanks guys:classic:

Hi I am trying to find out what colour speedo drive gears go with what ratio diff. I found a chart age's ago but cannot find it now. thanks Ash

If I didnt already have a race car I would buy it!

Thanks for all the info guys! the reason I was asking this quetion is that we want to run a car in the historic class in Aus and would make a lot of sence to run triples to keep up with the porsches etc Could you tell me were I could get a copy of that sports option cataloge so I can show it to the powers that be and see if I can get triples homologated in our historic class. Thanks again Ash

I was just wondering if it was ever a factory option for the 240Z with the L24 engine to have triples (webber, mikuni? etc) If so are there any documents to say so? Thanks

Hi I need a r200 diff (open) in 4.4 ratio or 4.6 or 4.1. please email me if you have one that you want to sell zr240@hotmail.com thanks Ash

Just wondering how the rb30 conversion kit is going. Could you let me know the price, what you get in your kit and availability. thanks Ash

Thanks for the help. I put a second hand Voltage regulator on the car last night of a 260z and it work great now! Ash

My 71' 240Z road car has all of a sudden got an elec problem. The amp meter goes to the end of the guage when you give the car a rev. I have tryed another 2 altinators and it still the same. also the headlight get brighter when the car revs. I checked the battery and it is fine. I also checked the voltage at the altinator and it show about 12V at 800rpm and about 15V when reved. The only thing I can think is the voltage regulator could be dead but the voltage at the battery is good (doesn't follow the altinator) Please help? Ash

HI Just thought I would add the new z seems to be pretty tough as it did 22 hrs in the bathurst 24hr before the driver hit some marbels of line and spun it into the wall:stupid: . Other than a set of slicks, roll cage and upgraded springs the car was totaly standard and it keeped up with alot of the cars. It was running 10th at one stage. All in all I think it will live up to the z car name! check it out at www.procar.com.au in the bathurst section. Ash

The wheels are 16x10 front and rear and the flairs are of a 911 Porsche.

what do you think of the new body kit I have fitted to my race car. I just finished the championship in 5th outright.

another with it on the car
