240z vs Rx7
This was the third session of the day in HPDE3 on April 25, 2010. We saw this Rx7 zipping around all weekend and finally caught up with it. Both drivers were testing their limits and it was quite exciting being in the car and experiencing this "battle" firsthand. Gee-Force Z spider got a good workout too. Until next time little blue Rx7!
1972 Datsun 240Z run. (One last good time before I sold it)
Right before I sold it...
Clicking noise is a leak in the balancing tube (welded day after this video) Some sloppy shifts due to slack in the rear end and un-adjusted clutch with cracked clutch arm bracket.
I loved/love this car! So much fun to drive...

Fairlady Z Build Updates
Today I thought I would update the couple of guys subscribed to my channel with an update on the car. I just had it painted so I thought it was about due for another video.
Updates in this video,
New Paint in Gloss
New flares
Ducktail spoiler
Headlight covers
New badges
More updates are still to come.
I have bought a new centre console and gear shift boot, and a whole lot more, but for today, take a look at the new gloss Hiroshima Screama.
240Z vs. the Ozark Mountains
Some [conservative] horseplay in my 1971 3.1L 240Z before putting my new race motor away for the winter. This is NOT a performance driving video, just some fun on an awesome road.
This is first time I've driven the road, so I'm a little more confident after 3:00. (I found it on Google Earth then trailered my car there.)
Some highlights, since it's not exactly a concise video:
1:55 downhill stretch, crossing Beaver Lake
2:40 more aggressive driving begins
4:00 scared myself a bit
4:40 traffic encountered
5:00 engine vs. open highway
Referenced walk-around video of my L6 motor:

Datsun 240z vs Nissan GTR
This is a homebuilt twin turbo " blow through " system on a 409 cubic inch Chevy small block engine in a 72 Datsun 240 z. The car is Street Legal due to emission excemptions and is used for cruising, car shows, and drag racing. It is a Sleeper since it uses a full Exhaust system and mufflers.

Just a little fun video. 1st part is during a cruise thru The Valley of Fire near Las Vegas, the 2nd part was shot to show the Exhaust sound and LACK of valve train noise...
