im new to the south Island after moving down here with my girlfriend about 5 months ago.
Travelling down from Hamilton in the 240z was a good roady!
moved down because Work ( JPMarshall Engineering ) have given me the opportunity to became the Foremen and GM for the south.
Making me the youngest Foremen/GM at 27. we are a general engineering workshop that take on any task big or small but at the moment we are just focusing on screw piles to help rebuild the city, until i hire enough workers to start up a new Heavey Fab shop.
enough about me. . . back to the car. Orginal inline 6 L24!
1971 240z stil original engine with modifications to make 200rwhp but this was a few years back and things are getting a little tierd. was set up for track and drag doing 13 flat on its first run.
Half cage 4 point harness for the. Dual SU's. Re jetted to run avgas with twin side draft K&N carbs alot of work done to the engine to get these figures and just recently changed the points to Pertronix ignition system and still trying to work the bugs out on that one. was able to rev up to 8500 rpm no sweat but not at the moment so i hopefully work out the kinks. also did a comp test on and was at an even 200psi in all cylinders. Raceing cam, pistons and flywheel etc drilled out oil galleries for better oil flow in the cam and head matching port polish exhaust and intake not to mention valve work for better flow. up grading the brakes to 11.5" twin slotted front brakes with 4pot calipers and custom made aerotech alloy used for the hats for better heat transfer.
body work. . .
stripped down and pro panel and paint. took out about 100 kgs of panel steal and weighs in at 890 kg with no driver. fiberglassed back spoiler. looking to get the gaurds flared and rolled to for bigger more agressive tyres with a new paintjob so if you know anyone please let me know.
umm thats everything off the top of my head for now ill try post up some pics when i can.
if ya have any questions please dont be shy.
be good to meet some local people that are into the same things.
cheers,
Brian
