Man, I just love everything about this car - the paint job, the interior, the engine bay, the sound. Most people end up completely overdoing their restomods, but this Z has stayed very much on the classy side of things. Wouldn't change a thing. Great job.

It's a very brave and bold project that Rahail and Martin have launched and I believe that they are not catering to a customer demand but rather creating that demand. MZR makes RHD and LHD cars - those who pooh-pooh the injection for not having the induction noise - you've never tried it ! Zs needd builders like these for the special market - there are other builders for other markets - the Z was always a world car - not it is classless - a car for everyone and every pocket.

It sure is a great looking engine! Great car as well! I had a '73 back in college (early 80s), but it needed a lot of work. The engine was good, but the body was a bit of a rust bucket. No rust showed on the body, but it was all over the place you can't see without looking harder. Good old St. Louis salty roads.

honestly, in a world of Singers, and Eagles, this is average. I have seen better builds at car shows. This is not up to the level it needs to be. I have been saying for 5 years, that if E-types, Alfas, 911's, and MGB's, can have this uber tuned versions, then 240Z is ripe for this make over. I think this is not quite it. The interior is decent but not great. My triple L28 in my 240Z sounds as good if not better. Fuel injection may be okay for some, but I think the sound of carbs working are irreplaceable. I do like the wheels though. Look like 8' wide, which means it probably has coilovers. Again, I do not see craftsmanship, I see a parts thrown at a car. You cannot expect Singer levels of detail for 90k, but Vast improvements can be made to the interior in this car. NIce try, but I can tell you without a doubt it is not the ultimate 240Z

Check out their other builds, this one is quite tame in comparison to build they have done for various customers.

I don't think sdamico555s' comments are related to whether the car in question is tame or not - they also have a classic version (I've seen an orange one) which is tamer yet so imho, that is not the issue here. Hard to compare Singer and other equivalents to MZR because MZR are taking on old product and modernising it whereas the Porsches are moderns having been back-dated ! And for me, any 'ultimate' Z has to have an L-gata engine otherwise it is no longer a Z - that rules out all swaps whether Nissan or otherwise. .....now who is going to fit an S30 body on a Z34.......?

I think this is too far, just do a little upgrades within reason like triples, rear disk kit etc.. and enjoy the car for what it is. You said it is still a 240Z engine, well in fact it is a 280Z engine. I have found revving the 2.4 higher and using all the power VS the heavier 2.8 is probably a better option for twisty circuits and roads.
