Administrators gav240z Posted March 19, 2012 Administrators Posted March 19, 2012 Christmas is early - she arrived this morning: Awesome, sounds like it idles quite high though? Take it for a drive Quote
doudous Posted March 20, 2012 Author Posted March 20, 2012 She will have a visit to Stewart Wilkins Racing for a tune. New front rotors will be fitted tomorrow.... Quote
d3c0y Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 So the big question, is it faster than the 260Z? Quote
doudous Posted March 20, 2012 Author Posted March 20, 2012 I expected them to be very similar but they are very different. This car has more top end power. The zed had more low end torque. This car feels so easy to drive with the power steering - I have to get used to it. It has very stiff suspension - too stiff for crappy Sydney roads. It feels as though it will be just as quick on the track.... Quote
curtis 240z Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 The car looks awesome. So which z went? Quote
luvemfast Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 Now that........ Is one hell of a pretty car! Quote

I think the Z has a very mild cam in it like a 72 degree or something and he sent me a dyno of the AFR and it's off the chart rich in the first 1/3 and is still in the 11:1s at peak power!! So there is more power to get from that girl yet! Quote
saxon Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 The red 1976 Fairlady 3.1 has a new home That one from Sydney that's got lots of hits on youtube? Did you buy that? Quote
Retro Z Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 That one from Sydney that's got lots of hits on youtube? Did you buy that? No Phil (doudous) imported and owned it and has since sold /swapped it to a guy named Alex. Phil has now just imported the red Hakosuka in this thread to replace that red 3.1 he sold. Quote
saxon Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Oooohhhhh now i get it! The more i spend on my car, the more i wish i bought that 260. Friggen awesome car Quote
Retro Z Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 The person who bought it (Alex) swapped his r34 gtr for that Z!! Quote
