Vappu-day parade

We had traditional Vappu-day parade and here is few videos and pictures.

Refreshed oil pan

I decieded to remove oil pan for cleaning and repaint and changed the gasket at the same. There was almost 1cm of dirt in the pan! Luckily that dirt coat has keep the rust off. Also old gasket had leaked oil, this solved that problem. Did compression test to engine and for my suprise, all the cylinders topped to 150 psi! Nice!

Wish my zee was this good looking..

These are original brochure pics of FairladyZ. Just beautiful

Waiting for the Sun

Got some parts while waiting for that darned spring to finally kickstart. I got "new" motor antenna wich im gonna restore, antenna is OK but gearwheel etc is stuck so it wont lift the antenna. Left one is the "new" one, i buffed it a little so it actually looks good. Right one came with the car and im not sure is it even original Nissan part..? Both work electrically, i've tested it. Right one is missing its mast, some turd has snapped it half. What the hell do you do with half cutted telescopic radio mast anyway?? I also dismantled half of the interior, got new quarter panels and i have Dynamatted them, maybe it reduces noise.

JDM Legends

Cars in this video are so beautiful that i almost crapped in my pants

Weather is currently extremely COLD so there is no way doing anything Z related at the moment..

What a beauty!

This baby is either THE original one or replica of Rauno Aaltonen's legendary 240Z. He drove it in Monte Carlo-rally several times. He was also a test driver for the Nissan corporation, specialised in 240Z spending 3 years in that. Rauno has said that Monte Carlo was a real RALLY back in the day, he referred that today its closer to kindergarten. :D

In the meantime...

Winter is at its best, or worst if i may deciede. Few days were good for fixing Z but then again the temperatures drop below -20C and the garage is super cold. Luckily it has been the most driest winter i've ever experienced, good for the Z.
I've managed to replace the passenger side tie rod end but the drivers side is stuck. REALLY stuck. Also some parts have arrived from US of A. New quarter panels (old ones are busted and have holes) and some other small stuff.
I think Goldie needs a new radiator, old copper one cant get rid of all the heat. If someone has few extra bucks (or new radiator!), you could donate them for good cause :D
Im gonna do some heavy driving next summer so heat dispersion must be optimal. First i was like "if its not original, im not going to use it!" But now im going to the direction of "if it helps my Z to stay on the road longer, im in". You get the point. If someone has experience about the difference of aluminum and original copper (or brass?) radiators, tell me!
