nice ride. what's with the hood pins? (Never really understood their purpose in the first place, but shouldn't they be nearer to the windshield on a Z?)
1973 240z 5spd | Dual Webers | Koni Shocks | And the crowning glory: the big red push button ignition. vrOOOM!
Pics

they have ones near the windshield look...i assume in this car the hood comes off totaly and doesnt have hinges for fast removal..usualy people put them on cars if they think their original latch will not hold up under "speeds"
but thats a nice Z

You guys sure "braced yourselfs" on that roll cage!
Got any shots of the interior? Looks like the bar coming down the center mounts to the trany hump. Can't recall seeing that before.
Looks great.
Whats it meant to run as?
78 stockish
82 partish

That's awesome!

I can't tell what type of hood this one has but our club race car (www.zccne.org) has a fiberglass hood and no hinges, hence the hood pins. Makes working on the engine and accessories easier.
Blue more pics and specs.....we installed a 1.8L supercharger on our car this spring and will be trying it out soon. As Bob Bondurant said after taking it out at The Glen, "needs more HP".

LOL ya got me Tony :).
Well the story is that we have a club member ~ 300km north of me who is a true Z nut with a love for restoration.
He is presently restoring his VIN #127 then got an ex-240z racer dumped on his lap with GNose's (Bad Dog Parts) help.
He decided to make it a true race car thus the cage. He will be racing it for fun and wants to be safe thus the hefty cage.

That's a serious road-racing cage!
Looks a lot like the old BRE Cage from J. Morton's Car...

WOW, nice cage install, I wonder what wall thickness the tubes, are, cause if its just mild steel, then its probably .125" thick, atleast thats what bonniville's rules are.
Yea, I like strips farther apart myself. :)
Lots of Z cars, 1970's-1983's.
