Believe it or not, this Rocket Bunny S14 (240SX) is a daily driver. When owner Stanley wanted a new daily driver, he approached a workshop in Sydney called Garage 88 and requested they build him something unique, quick and comfortable to drive. This is where the Japanese Tourist was born. This S14 has been completely stripped down and built back up, modernising the S-Chassis platform whilst still retaining period correct aesthetic with the right use of two-tone paint and wheel choice.

Owner Dave Scholz, shares his connection with a Japanese cult classic that could easily be regarded as the 911 of Japan. Its iconic beauty, modular mechanics, and desirability inspired Dave to heed to Datsun's famous racing campaign of the '70s, "Dare to be different." American heads spun when the 1970s ultimately snuffed out their beloved horsepower-drunk muscle cars. As the world watched them squirm for performance, Japan was busy developing the 240Z to bring a new thrill to American roads using balance, harmony, and technology. "Datsun didn't invent the overhead cam engine, or disc brakes, or independent suspension but it has a habit of incorporating these sophisticated systems into brilliantly conceived and easily affordable cars." (Car and Driver; June, 1970)
