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?

is that what that building was, i have always wanted to know i think the building is up for lease at the moment, first time in at least 4 years

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.

    • Yeah it was a good result, and confirming the car is full of fluids and all interior etc in, other than fuel. I think a few pages back (maybe many pages!) he mentioned some serious lightening in the doors with the chassis punch, might have been done elsewhere I hadn't seen yet too
    • He still had the suspension dialled in for him! I would have sworn the lowest weight he ever got to was 1300kg though Maybe Neil had been drilling a LOT of holes somewhere you haven't found yet... 😛 Or has he also drained all the gearbox and diff oil out too, between it, and a tank full of fuel there's about 65kg to 70kg to add back in I'd guess. 😛
    • Yeah this isn't a super complex shape, but I was still happy to buy instead of fab version 1; very little in a modern can is a flat surface, and that is true here again - the undertray has about 50mm in height differences that I would have had to work out myself. I will probably make something more substantial before it does any rally, I don't think 1mm steel is too much use as a bash plate. There is also cooling to think about, Z1 have done a bit of development and have some air holes and louvers in the shape, will see how that works out too
    • If it's been tuned idle rpm can be changed.
    • Very slightly as there are bars connecting both sides of the ramp. The only difficulty that I had was doing the gearbox, everything else so far has been ok
