Original Datsun 240Zs are getting harder to come by for a reasonable price, with many sought out by collectors and stashed away. So, it is refreshing to see one being used every day, as well as taken to the drag strip and track days.
What started as a standard car bought in 2006 by original poster Johnnymd then went through a minor restoration before thoughts turned to more power. In 2010, a Lexus Soarer was sourced for its twin-turbo 1JZ engine and manual transmission and the transformation began. More recently, that evolved to a single turbo set up and painted in the shade of blue made famous by Manga series Wangan Midnight. Now this stunning 240Z can cover the quarter mile in 11.1 seconds at 132mph - impressive.
Congratulations Johnnymd, your Datsun 240Z is our Reader's Car Of The Week. Read the thread here.
