Brian Brazda's Z-Cars
My first Z - 1972 HLS30-55040
|
Bought her used from Countryside Nissan in 1974. First thing I did was put the 240-Z stripe on the side and took this photo. Subsequently, I got a set of 14x6 Kosmic mags and put on 195/70 Michelin XVS tires. I bought the mags from Mark. Can't remember his last name but he had a dark green 240-Z that he'd put new wheels on. I'd met him at at a parking lot slalom in Schaumburg and he was also a Windy City Z Club member. Later I made performance enhancements including headers and new exhaust system. I advanced the cam timing by one notch and added a high-performance coil. Also added a rear spoiler, just bolted on, not blended in. She met her fate when I lent her to friend to take to a rally, and she ended up in a ditch. |
My current Z cars
Both of these are currently buried in my garage.
Better pics coming when I'm able move the stuff all around them.
License plates have long since expired and all tires are flat.
1969/70 HLS30-13456

I fully restored her sometime in the late 1980s. Replaced windshield which had a huge hole in it. New doors from Nissan (I undercoated the insides before attaching hardware) Added front air dam, fiberglass flared front fenders. Rear fender flares and spoiler, blended in, not just bolted on. Drive train is from my HLS30-55040 (above), equipped with headers and other performance enhancements. I have the original 13456 drive train - see below for details. |

Other Z stuff (more stuff & photos coming soon) Windy City Z Club jacket - I have two, am keeping one. The jacket (as some may remember) was coated with aluminum paint which never seemed to dry and remained sticky for years. 1 set 14x6 Kosmic mag wheels L-24 short block Orignal 13456 drive train - I think has a 5-speed transmission. - Dunno last time it was started, or condition. |
