Kevin’s 1973 Datsun 240z

Kevin R has a long time relationship with Z Car Garage and he has put plenty of miles on his 240z. We wanted to help Kevin out with few things that needed attention like the dash. Dim lighting and non-functioning items led to pulling the entire dash out:


With the dash removed we restored the gauges, center stack and cleaned up wiring.  The heater blower motor was replaced with a modern, more effective unit from a Honda:

The result is a beautiful, fully functional interior:

In the suspension department we installed Motorsport sway bars front/rear. S30 Z cars do not have camber adjustment so we installed Techno Toy Tuning rear control arms to dial in the alignment:

Underhood, Kevin’s 240z sports a hot D.L Potter engine built many years ago. The triple carbs needed some tuning and a heat shield. No triple carb setup is complete without the ZCG heat shield in place:


From the interior refreshening to the carb tuning Kevin’s Z is ready for more miles of enjoying the ride!
