Darren-B Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 Well what an awesome car the 240z is :teeth: such a great joy to drive. I'm glad I got the car on the road prior to tearing it apart as it's given me a chance to get to know the car a little. It drives exceptionally well for a 43yr old, other than the front shocks being a little tired & the wheel alignment not being perfect after changing the steering gators theres only a few little bits that need to be addressed: -The boot hatch is moving around in it's guides making an annoying squeaking sound -The heater is blowing out lots of dust, leaves & other crap, it's also hot all the time. Other than that all is good, the engine is sweet, loads of torque, the clutch was still slipping in 5th at first but after a while it seems to have stopped. Another thing I noticed is that women love it #Adrian, I'll see you in the morning, 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will370z Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Funny to think the car is 43 years old, looks a gem. Have a fun drive and good luck with Adrian's build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren-B Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 Well I have now covered just over 200miles in the old girl, I can see this strip down & rebuild being delayed somewhat. The car is an absolute joy to drive, took a little drive out to RT Performance yesterday to help out SOB (Octet) with his TT 370 build. Really can't fault the car, both motorway & city driving, it's spot on. Although I did find out that one of the fuel tank breather pipes is a little perished as I had a little leak when I brimmed the tank. Thankfully Octet was on hand with his hose to syphon out the excess fuel 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren-B Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 I must say after driving your 370z yesterday I love the TT setup, it was worth every moment we spent building it, maybe we can swap once you get your tune done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian@TORQEN Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 (edited) Mate, I'm telling you, after you left, we fixed the steering rack thing and went out for another drive.

Darren-B Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 Yeah Yeah Yeah keep going, just watch out as you might wake up one morning to find your zed completely stock Well this evening I decided to pop out to the garage & remove a few bits from the car in anticipation of a small delivery tomorrow So front wheels removed, brake callipers removed, suspension strut, hub removed then the springs compressed & removed, finally the shocks pulled out of the casings. Left hand side literally fell straight out but the right was a bit tough. Had to replace the spring with a scaffold tube them bolt it down onto the strut in order to pull the shock out, bit of a pain but has saved me some time for when the goodies arrive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren-B Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 Well when I finished work this evening I went to visit Santa, he gave me whiskey & Rum, I can't remember the rest Next thing I knew I was back home with lots of presents So I got unwraping I've obviously been a very good boy this year, thank you Santa Octet 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy78 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Love the wheels Darren. They just seem to look perfect on 240's. Looks like you have a date with a bush press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren-B Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 The bushes won't be done until the back to metal strip down as they are likely to need doing again if I'm let loose with the sandblasting gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
