1971 Datsun 240Z review from North America
"A high performance gas saver on rails"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Routine brake jobs as needed.
Seats are pretty shot, and flattened out.
Gas tank vent lines have needed replacement.
Rubber seals have come to be looser around windows and hatchback.
General comments?
The car handles extremely nice.
Car is very fast, with good low end torque.
Steering is great, but can be a burden without the power steering.
For as much power provided, the car is very quiet.
