Guy Miller and his 3 early 240z's
To kick start 2008 and bring you even better content than last year. We decided to introduce you with 3 featured Zcars this January. The real surprise though is that they are all owned by the same man! Guy Miller has the Z bug like many of us and has managed to bring into his possession 3 early Datsun 240z's. We're sure you'll love all 3 as much as we do!
It takes a man of talent to own more than 1 Zcar. Not because as the 240z ages it becomes more difficult to find one, or because the maintenance bills add up, or even that you need somewhere to store all 3. No it takes talent because more often than not we need to convince a significant other it's a good idea to own 1 let alone 3.
Guy has obviously overcome this hurdle and owns 3 pristine Zcars. Sure you could own more than 1 but more often than not these days the second or 3rd Zcar is a parts or donor car.
Guy has also resisted the urge to significantly alter his Zcar from stock standard. We can't blame him either, when you see his Zcars in all their glory and original paint it's hard to wonder why there arn't more out there like Guy?
Guy's 3rd Z to the stable though will have a slight twist in that it will feature a tuned L28 capable of producing around 225 HP. Achieved using a tried and true engine combination as listed on the last page of this article.
Thanks Guy for sharing your zcar with us and all the best for the future.

This car is basically a stock 240z. I built the engine to stock specs .020 thou overbore. We removed all emission gear and installed SM performance needles for the SU carbs. Z Therapy does all the carbuerettor work. We also installed the Eibach springs and tokico adjustable shocks. My son Brandon painted the engine bay, rear tail light panel and front spoiler.

Total 100% restoration by former owner. I bought this car as is and it is absolutely perfect inside and out. Under the hood and under the car.

Safari Gold 1971 Datsun 240z
Owners Comments
Currently in a state of total restoration. This car will also be 100% restored. However we are going to put some fire in the engine. We'll be using an L28 Block with a P79 head, shaved 0.80 thou with a 5 angle valve job (stainless valves). An Isky stage 3 cam with (shimmed cam towers to true everything up). The pistons will be flat tops to give us a 10:1 compression ratio. We haven't decided on a color yet but it will probably be BMW platinum silver.
