As many of you long time members know, I've spent the last few years building a business manufacturing and developing performance parts for older sports cars, although mainly geared towards undersupported vehicle platforms from Japan.
I recently have begun importing vehicles and parts from Japan as well, and recently picked up these gems -
The black car is a 1988 Nissan Fairlady Z (300ZX) Turbo. Also available here in the states, this car only has roughly 45,000miles, and is in pretty decent shape - although I can tell it has not been driven on a regular basis in some time. Has really neat touches (RHD of course, warning nanny that speaks in Japanese, mirrored t-tops, Japanese aftermarket performance parts, BBS RS wheels) and will make a good showcase vehicle for many of the products we make for this vehicle.
The white car is a little bit more special in terms of rarity and significance. It is a 1982 Toyota Carina, which is a model never sold in the western hemisphere (at least this generation). This vehicle is significant because the powerplant is the first Twin-Cam, turbocharged engine ever built in Japan - the 3T-GTE. (Think early 80s Corolla motor on more steroids than Ah-Nuld.) I kind of lucked into this car.
Conservatively rated at 160WHP, this thing is a monster, and uses twin spark plugs per cylinder, but is not a wasted spark system - the head design is such that 2 plugs were required for ignition. The car weighs less than 1000KG, and "proper" stock power estimates are around 200WHP, and easily upgraded to nearly 400 with some modifications. The car drives well, and is a hoot - if it were left hand drive, it would be the ultimate sleeper.
Although I currently don't have any British cars right now, I am going to hopefully start looking for another BGT pretty soon!
