Hi all,

Has anyone noticed the old showroom on Kingsway full of dusty 300z's just before the freeway entrance?

Map

I think this used to be owned by Spencer from Nissport who is out of business now... Seems weird that it's still there though.

Is his old mechanic Joe working at Dontex now?

yeah Joe works at Dontex in Vermont now.

i didn't know about this showroom on kingsway, but he did mention that he had zeds in storage so you could be right.

nobody really knows what happened to spencer and nissport, just shut everything leaving cars and parts locked up in the other workshop too. i think the mordialloc workshop has a new tenant.

apparently he is working on rain water tanks now

It's no secret as you can see the Z'd through the glass when you drive past. I think Spencer must own this place as he was always talking about opening it back in 2002. It's been too long to lease it...

I was trying to contact him recently but don't have him number. Anyone know it?

I remember working around the corner from this place on Kinsway back in 1999 and the same cars were there. Every time i drive past, i still look out to see if the cars have moved. Theres a ZX, supra, FTO and once upon a time a Soarer. These cars would be in vertually brand new condition. Dont know if the engines would still be ok though.

I have also taken notice of this place.

Cars I have seen there were a Supra / 300ZX and a Soarer.

Like you said, covered in dust.

I thought it was some sorta performance / tuning garage or a placed that just sold parts.

      Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.

      Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.

      I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.

      Stock O2 sensors are narrowband. They're useless once you're away from stoich. IE, useless for what you're trying to do. 10:1 will read the same as 14:1 from the stock O2 sensors. That is, they'll read rich. The same level of rich.
