Bosozoku car feature: Okumis Nissan 240Z
Okumi from Thailand sent me the pictures of his Thai zokusha: a 1972 Nissan 240Z!

He owns the Z for seven years now and he is slowly turning it into a genuine zokusha!

This (and previous) picture was taken at the Bangsan Classic Automobile Festival, held on the 27th of february, showing his latest addition: a new sky tailpipe!
Looking at the immaculate cars in the background it sure must have given quite a shock for the other attendees! 😉

Okumi also uses his 240Z for the occasional trackday, so it is not only meant to look good but also meant to act right on the circuit!

Apart from the sky exhaust pipe the 240Z was given an oilcooler, police lights behind the grille, fender extenders and a set of 14 inch SSR mk2s!
Unfortunately this is as low as he can go: the Thai roads are not as flat as the Japanese, lot’s of bumps and potholes! It doesn’t matter: the car looks already great!

And this is the proud man himself!
Great car, Okumi! Thanks for sharing! 🙂

Do you know where in thailand this is?
im going there tomorrow for a holiday and would love to check out their retro/boso/car scene!
Sorry, but I don’t have an home address of Okumi. Perhaps he can still react here?
How much did it cost to do the work? I have a 240z in New Zealand which I would like to get some work done. But seeing this makes me want to take it back to Thailand and get work done on it. As labour is much cheaper there I might be able to save some coins. I’d still like to do what I can on it myself but somethings I just dont have the expertise in doing. :S
