More of the green hornet from vision wells.

Love the sound of this thing.

Big screen and sound up!!

Lots of good old Australian know how gone into this car by Les and the boys at LCR.

That thing goes well!!  At 11.10 in the middle video - what comes flying off the GT2 and luckily misses the 240z roof??

So much Jazz Flute I was expecting to see Austin Powers jump in and say Groovy Baby.

Genuine Fairlady Z432-R? Certainly has the right parts...

 

 

Yes, it's Takeuchi san's (famous) 432-R, chassis number PS30-00187. He has a great photo gallery on the classiczcars.com documenting its restoration a few years ago. Amazing work...

 

Sorry if it's stating the obvious, but for anyone who doesn't realise - the younger guy in the race suit 'testing' the car is current works GT driver Masataka Yanagida. The gent in the black is his father, former Nissan works driver and 'Central 20' owner Haruhito Yanagida. The gent in the white shirt with the BBS sponsor baseball cap is Mr Takeuchi himself.

I don't get it, are these reproductions or have they managed to get these via Nissan as NOS?

Some are billed as OEM? The oil filter has the addition of being "Genuine Nissan".

I had a bit of a giggle about them...

Interesting I wonder if the bloke in the engine bay is using the oxy torch to burn off old paint, it looks like it.

 

Always good to see an S30z down to it's bare basics. It looks like they are repairing it the correct way, interesting the floors are being completely removed including trans tunnel..

 

Even the fresh air tubes that run along the front of the car are removed. I guess Australian cars are often not that rotten due to lack of salt on the roads.

 

But obviously that's not that case for all S30Z's.

Kats Z432 in Osaka on the motorway.

Whoa! How's the bottom hose on the dyno, it kept going flat several times, especially at 5.27 and pretty much every time it gets the beans.

 

What's with the fan pointing at the carbs, it's not for cooling...

Water pump sucks real hard at rpm.

You used to be able to buy bottom hoses that had a inserted steel coil winding, to prevent that.

 

Fan at carbs,,,, supa-chargers,,,,,,, apparently,,,

That car is now wearing earlier tail lights, because they are the best and everyone knows it! :)
