NZeder Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 For those interested here in a Video on youtube of some of the cars that compete here in NZ in the HMC (Historic Muscle Car) vs the Oz Trans-am series recently from QLD. One thing I would say is I doubt the NZ cars have those kind of HP figures given they must run all iron engines, stock steel body work. Many of the NZ cars above are the same as those I posted earlier in this video where my good friend Ricky gives them a hurry along in his 240z. Hope you guys enjoy the action. My mate Ricky from this weekends racing. Last race of the day for him - a reverse grid so he started 70 seconds behind the first car - he cut out the first 4-5 laps from the video as it was just him playing catch up on his own - so this is the last 4 laps. The gird is the HMC combined with Under 3.0l Pre 78 Saloons and GTs. HMC = Historic Muscle Cars. The aim of these grids it to have period correct cars running together with only mods available in period so 15" rims is one of the leveling factors. Gav how about putting in the youtube bbc into the forum - see http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=936 Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted June 25, 2013 Administrators Posted June 25, 2013 If I didn't already want a V8 muscle car, I now want 1 even more! Although I like rotary vs V8 rivalry and I'd rather be on the rotor side of that debate . Quote

juz0 Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 nice sounding turbo 260z interesting flutter sound! i wish my s15 sounded like that http://youtu.be/7zK-i2dRbPo Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted July 20, 2013 Administrators Posted July 20, 2013 Sounds funny, I assume it vents straight to atmosphere which is not allowed in Australia is it? You have to have it recirculate into the intake right? Quote
pauly_adams Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 that sounds just like my 280zx turbo, as for atmo blow off, in a 280zx its legal as prior to 1985 pollution laws permitted it, the fact that 280zx turbo came out with a atmo type pop off valve also helps the situation Quote
CooperJS Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Thats a awesome 260z not a big fan of the BOV but still very awesome!! Quote
MyEnquiringMind Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Great in car from Goodwood festival of speed... 240Z rally car... Quote
NZeder Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Great in car from Goodwood festival of speed... 240Z rally car... Kevin owns 2 outstanding 240z. I am sure hs30-h can tell us more about Kevin's cars but the there have been a few magazines that have covered his barn find and rebuild of the ex works 240z. I believe the one in the video is his non works car but one that has rally history going a long way back in the UK. Quote
Missinglink Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Shake down motorkhana laps for my V8 Zed, had just fitted a rear sway bar, new tyres and am getting used to the Zed handling. Runs a 302 windsor (Alloy heads, 288 Cam, 600 Holley blah blah blah) with 5 speed supra gearbox, Arizona Z suspension and brakes, half cage, chasis rails tied in to rear. Weight: 1100kg without driver or fuel. Quote

I'd like to see one about hi power Zeds or EVO's beating Porsches, authentic WW2 connextion with Ferdinand who designed some of the German WW2 military hardware. Quote

dat240z Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 my latest video Well thats one way to do an engine bay refresh!!!!! Quote
Stivva Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 Well thats one way to do an engine bay refresh!!!!! The refresh was a fairly straight forward process, since all the body work had already been done and it was just covered with a black primer. So once everything had been pulled out it just need led a rub back and paint. I would have loved to get the engine pulled and get into a booth but $$$ Quote
Retro Z Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 No need to pull the engine in a z..unlike other cars there is enough clearance in all areas to paint the engine bay just like you did. Quote
