Say what now? haha

Hi Guys, I am moving to Denmark in August for two years to study (had enough of working!) haha. I need to find somewhere to store my beloved 240z, Has to be fully enclosed storage for around 2 years. could potentially move it after one year though. What are my options? anyone had to do this sort of horrible thing before? I have been looking on trademe and I could possibly buy a 20ft container, Then I just have to find somewhere to put a container? Anyone used any good car storage places that dont cost the earth? Or anyone have a farm house that I could possibly pay you a rental fee? Just looking for options.. Cheers! heres a pic because Im sad my car has to be locked up

Fuck small disaster! nothing car related but im not going to be able to make it... really gutted Hopefully meet you all next month.

I'll see you all there in the 240!

They actually are charcoal, just the harsh lighting when I took the photo made them come out black,, Will just re edit the photos to show the charcoal... But thanks!

Took the Z to a few car shows with the Z Club around Auckland, was nice showing off the Z. Won a few trophies within the Z club which was cool! Not allowed to open my bonnet because its 50 years of filth under there! When I originally took ownership of this car, I have to admit, I knew very little about it. Its history, the L24 power-plant or any understanding of its relevance in the Japanese sports car world. I was a diehard bimmer fanboy from my early teens, though the more research I've done, Ive fell completely in love with the story and the significance of this car.

That's sounds good. Will be my first old school event so would rather find everyone before hand..

15x8s are perfect I think.. 16 to big. 14 look very stock which can be a good thing. Right now im just going to wait and see what I find. Suspension is first on my list. There is also the Enkei Compe that come in 15x8 et0 they have no dish like watanabe though...

Thats clean! Im a bmw man through and through just somehow ended up with a 240, I do love that e34 though!!! nice job.. still got the 2.0 in there?

got jesse to bid up to 30,000jpy for the 14s but still no luck.. Thinking I will do suspension first then decide on wheels.. is it really bad to run a 5mm spacer? guessing its illegal?

Really gutted i missed this got held up, I will bring the 240 along next time...

I have email Jesse to see what the cost of getting these would be.. http://yahoo.aleado.com/lot?auctionID=w119606393 Love the look of the wats

im keen to head along, how does a newbie find the oldschool gang?

yup I will try and be there! where are the details of this?

Yea I will definitley be keeping the original hub caps and wheels, They seem to have been replaced by 90% of the dealers when the cars where new.. Stoked to have them. Im after some wheels to give it a meaner look as it remind me too much of a grandads car atm. haha Hells yea. alway keen to take photos of cars! I dont think ill make the meet up tomorrow night buy definitely the next one.. Haha awesome! yea I made it finally been meaning to sign up for ages but been lazy. Im glad you like the car. was a pain to get here but well well worth it in the end.

Woodheads auto in Auckland did amazing work replacing the right hand-side chassis rail, as well as a new clutch. At this time I was working a lot and the car was stored at my parents place up north, So it only really got driven every now and then. Took it for a nice gravel road drive after spending 4 hours cleaning it... I replaced the door seals and a bunch other seals around the place, was hoping to help with the fumes, it helped a little but still more work to be done... Cleaned off the stickers on the front bumper, and order a new badge. Found some sweet leather driving gloves in a leather market on a recent trip to Italy. Ive never worn them, but they look sweet sitting in the car!

Hi Guys, Here is my 1970 series 1 Datsun 240z. Vin#: HLS30-10681 Build Date: 9/70 I will attempt to do a basic rundown timeline of how I ended up with it... 1970 - My grandfather purchased the car from his local dealer in San Diego 'Economy Car Center' 2005ish - The car got parked up under some carpet in his garage as he was too old and sick to get into it 2011 - My granddad passed away 2012 - My grandmother told me the car was mine as long as I got it out of her garage ASAP - I had the car picked up from their home in San Diego and all fluids replaced and the engine turned over - I flew to San Diego and drove the car 600 miles to SF, left it in a secure warehouse and flew home 2013 - I spent 4 months living in SF working using the on occasion - In December I sent the car to Auckland 2014 - I finally got the car registered in NZ after having to replace a chassis rail from battery acid rust. Here are some images of the Z in the states, before its rough trip home... Discussion click here
