The Green Car
This was my first Z. After having a drive in John Gilbert’s 260 Fairlady Z, to the Gatton Sprint in 2003, I was hooked and immediately started looking for my own Zed.

After looking at many scary things I found this great little car on the net down in Armidale, she was not in fantastic condition but it was love at first sight. She had been a country car all her life so the rust was not too bad, compared to some of the cars I had seen, but the dust was everywhere. After 3 solid days of detailing, she looked a treat.

After getting some valuable advice form Alan Stean I upgraded the Suspension with King Springs, some new KYB shock absorbers and some Performance Wheels with Siverstone FTZ’s, now she looked the part. I was fortunate enough to know Jon Siddins for many year’s and Jon and Darren were kind enough to build me an engine in 2004.

Now with F54 L28 Blue printed and Balanced with new pistons, Billet Cam, a P90 head etc., etc. she goes like a rocket.

Since then I have added twin 2" Su’s rebuilt and fitted by Iain Stewart and an R200 4.1:1 LSD. Next is the interior and exterior back to original.

1970 Datsun 240Z         Chassis Number: HS 30 00183      Colour: Porsche Guards Red

I bought my Red 240 in early 2004 from Alan Stean. The Car first caught my eye at Alan’s workshop in 2003 and I always loved the paintwork and interior. After finding Alan starting to pull the all the good bits out of the car  to sell separately and turn the car back to a standard car I just had to do a deal to keep her as is.

The Red Car as I affectionately call her has been fantastic and not only looks great but drives extremely well on the Racing circuits,  I have competed for the Last 2 years in the Queensland Sprint Series at Morgan Park doing extremely well in its class coming 2nd or 3rd throughout the seasons. I competed in the 2005 Nissan Datsun Nationals Competition Section, coming 7th outright and also being the 2nd  fastest Z or ZX in the field gave me the runner up in the 240 Z Modified section.
I not only love to drive her on the circuit but she comes along to many club events and runs and people always can’t believe the paint job was done back in 1991.
