240Z: Engine stripping and Garage cleanup
So with every day the small bits and pieces at the house are more and more finalized and slowly i start to have more time (and money) for the car again. I rather do one thing, but that right, instead of having 10 different projects at one time. So the car was a bit on hold over the last two years, but i really hope that i find more time now. Before i start work, i decided i need to get a better overview of all the parts, so i went through all the boxes, labelled them (I will improve that) and made sure all parts are in the shelve…

The covid crisis apparently gives me too much time to browse the online classifieds for nice stuff. so i stumbled upon a german Ex-nissan dealer who had a lot of old manuals for sale. Luckily he had a set of Transmission manuals for the 240Z for sale. I own a FS5C71A transmission, but he only had the B-type and Automatic transmission manuals.

I also have plans to update my…

240Z: NOS splash panels / Mud guards arrived

He got the panels with his car when he bought his personal Z from a Nissan-dealer a few years ago, but didn’t need them.

240Z: New Panels arrived from Bogota
Lately it seems like more and more companies are making panels for the 240Z and other japanese classics. great 🙂 A while a go a guy contacted me to discuss the market situation and i suggested to make some panels for the 240Z which aren’t available yet. Well – turns out he followed my suggestion and now KFvintagejdm.com is offering the first batches of panels for the 240Z. They’re also known by the brand KlassicFab for many years in the classic Volkswagen community. The owner is living in the US, but he is originally from Bogota, where also the factory is. The parts where shipped from there. I still have…
