That Changed 240Z
By Speedhunters
Car Culture At Large
Almost a year ago, we featured that much loathed or loved 240z which invaded the automotive internet like a virus. Since then, it has changed ever so slightly and now has the appearance of a World War II Japanese fighter plane –a plane which actually shuns taking to the air but would rather hug the earth as close as possible….
I recently ran into the owner, Yuta, and he mentioned that both the car and himself will be shipping off for the land of the rising sun, permanently, in a few months time. How is the car is going to transform in the rice motherland? Only time can tell.
Good luck with your travels and keep us updated, Yuta!

Ultra-Clean LS2-Powered 280Z
By Jen Dunnaway
Editor
What I love is how neatly the big GM mill fits under the Datsun’s long pointy hood. Makes it look like the LS2 was made for this car! See more of this beautiful 400hp ride at Mike’s ride page.

Skyline-Powered Datsun Drag Truck

Editor
Check out Dannie and Nick’s awesome little drag rig. It’s powered by a straight six out of an R33 Skyline, turbocharged. They just got done finishing the custom front valence with the rising sun graphic. Take a look!

Pike’s Peak Datsun 240Z
By Speedhunters
Car Culture At Large
Sitting not too far from the Lister Roadster at Fan Fest in downtown Colorado Springs was this exquisite example of a Datsun 240z. This was another car that I was unable to see in the three morning practice session because it was running in the vintage race car class. What sits in this immaculate example of a 240z, is no monstrous V8, but a carbureted inline-six L series motor. Continue reading at Speedhunters

Top Ten Vehicles That Need to Come Back
By Rob Einaudi
Editor-in-Chief
Most of these vehicles should never have disappeared in the first place, but all of them need to come back. Now. Let me know what you think of my list. What did I miss?
Ford Bronco
I really don’t know what Ford is waiting for. Seems like a no brainer to me.
See the rest after the jump!

Samurai 510
By Speedhunters
Car Culture At Large
As I mentioned in my post yesterday, last weekend’s Cars & Coffee event had a large showing of old school Nissans.

It looks like this particular 510 has been built with a mix of tuner car and retro elements, and surprisingly, it works. Continue reading at Speedhunters
