Bitten by the Z bug

[tony54418]

Hi all

I just imported my first 240Z ex Japan into Australia. It's a bit of a slight mess but will do the job. No compliance plates but have worked out it's a 72/73 240Z fairlady modified with a L28 EFI motor and other cool toys. the plan is to get it back to original and see what happens. I normally am found competiting offroad in my old range rover but with the Z I hope to have it on the track in the classics.

Hope you don't get annoyed with the questions. My dad always says "there's no stupid questions ... only stupid people" I could be one of them!

Congrats on your new car and welcome! This is the place to find out about Z's.

Hi Tony. You should come along to one of the WA Z Register meetings. www.wazregister.com

In conjunction with the Triumph club we have track days and motokhana events.

Here's some pictures and video from the last one.

Tony, welcome to the Club. This is the place for information for sure. Being that there is such a time lag for us in the USA , make use of the search function . But don't hesitate to ask any question you may have. Will this engine keep you from being able to enter the Z in the classics competition ?

thanks guys

There are a few guys here in Perth running L28's in 240 and 260's from what I can see. I think (think) that they miss a few comps for the pure classics but can run as a modern irregularity in most events. In any case I guess for me it's more a Sunday morning flyer rather than a racer so I will be happy either way.

Mr Camo ... I have had a look at the register and have a full intention of joining. Currently my motor is out and down at my workshop so once I get a chance to head down there I can get the engine number and sign up. I was at the classic muster this year and got some great Z photos on my facebook and have joined the VSCCWA and got my Cams license
