    Oh wow, that is an amazing trip, i am envious!

    Oh jeez that's quite the roadtrip, where'd you go? I'm hoping to do do a bit trip with the Z at some point, possibly next year (once i quieten it down a little).

    Thanks! And nice, i bet the extra room of a 2+2 would have been very handy for that.

    Got some film developed finally, and had taken some shots of the Z a while back so:

    Awesome things are going well. I had a '77 280 2+2 which had loads of storage space with the back seat down. As others have said I went on camping trips with it and got everything in no problem.
    Perhaps I should this was when I was A/ much younger, and B/ single. Now we do what's sometimes described as "glamping"

    i believe the 240 has a record amount of space for any 2 door sports coupe.
    I remember the days of camping gear and 4 track tires loaded in for Solo 1 weekends!

    It seems so haha
    And nice! I've heard stories of people doing that back in the day, just wasn't sure if they'd all fit as the normal Z tire dia is around 24" and these were 27" 's, all adds up. Happily all good though, and would have been even easier if I didn't have the welded-in rear strut bar.

    Thanks! I was very much not expecting it haha, showed up late, chatted with friends for a few minutes and then the event organizers walked up to us and asked who owned my car lol. It was a good day.

    Car show today, managed to win a trophy which was neat - for Best Paint of all things haha. I guess they meant the "that's cool" aspect as opposed to actual paint quality but i'm definitely not complaining either way






    Also (unrelatedly) got a really good deal on some tires for my subaru, so decided to see if i could fit them in the Z on the trip home instead of coming back in the volvo, and yep, turns out 4 27" tires will fit in a S30 lol

    Fluid Film is my go to lubricant for anywhere you need it to "creep". I'm still working on a 20L pail I bought over 20 years ago.

    ​Indeed! I need to pull the speedo (thankfully comes out the front easily on 260s) to replace a burnt out bulb or two and rectify the inaccuracy i seem to have introduced when I pulled the needle off years ago to put on the KM/H sticker (it reads about 14km low at all speeds) so i'll make sure to do that then. Any specific lubricant you'd recommend?

    It was a good time for sure. We've built quite a nice local Z/other old nissan Facebook group for the Ottawa area and the sheer number of old datsuns around that I would never have known were in the area is quite neat.
