GARAGE: Version 1.5: New shelves and other stuff in
Soooo, time for an Update on the Garage. I’m working on Garage version 1.5. Not because i really planned to do so, but because of lucky circumstances i got hands on some neat stuff which now needs installation and relocation of a few things. Aside from the big neon sign which needs a bit of extra-wiring to have it actuated with the light-switch, my company was parting out again. I missed the big auction where they sold off the complete assembly line stuff for cheap, but at the end it was luck, because it probably saved me a lot of money 😀 but even better so, the parts they didn’t…

GARAGE: Vintage swiss Datsun dealer neon sign
I’ve always wanted to decorate my workshop & Garage with some authentic Vintage datsun signs or so, but they’re not exactly easy to come by.. So when this one popped up, i had to get it immediately.

But the seller had other, similar signs, so i guess it must have been part of a combination with other signs outside a dealership in the french speaking area of switzerland. Nevertheless.…

GARAGE: ADVAN Nobori Flag
I had the feeling that my garage needs a bit more decoration. But rather than buying fake-stuff i wanted to make sure i get some genuine stuff, without spending a fortune. Many “JDM” Brand fake-things are sold on ebay, but when i stumbled upon this Advan Nobori Flag, which perfectly fits my Advan Equipped EK9, and for a reasonable price too, i had to get it: I have no proof that it isn’t a fake thing, but the seller seemed legit (with not selling 100 similar flags with different prints) and was from Japan. And details like the marks on the packing and this little label on the flag made…

240Z: I’m back
Has been way too long since the last update, but finally i got back to work: 1) Got a new shelve and cleaned up the mess in the garage: 2) decided to get some work done on the Engine – started to remove the valve cover and gasket: Love the oldschool mechanics: 3) wanted to remove the cylinder head then but found out i need to read a bit before i start with that so i tried to turn the engine manually and it cranks smoothly with a torque-wrench, at least i know it turns – good to know: that’s it for today, more stuff and work to come soon…
