Agreed, thanks again to our Silvia Master-Tech SP311.

To me, their corporate quest for 250kl (is 155mph) is remarkable in 64'. Watching the series 1-4, I believe 4 shows them switching a hot motor - R16 to dual Webers (must have been 50's!) and then finally a hard top to get there. The grand finale: they plasma cut the motor in half (all staff attended) to protect the achievement. In addition (or continuing film), showing all the Z design(s) on the roadster platform including the fastback with Z c-piller and many, many roadster versions that never made it to production; very cool history. Makes you realize they modified these cars daily.

Yes I put the 3 videos on my site. Period, Nissan is testing a new design/configuration of engine either for the roadster or using a roadster as a test mule. Project A250X and the promptly smash the engine up with sledge hammers and burn the documentation..there was a lot of secrecy within Nissan and other auto companies then...ah typing at the same time!
