Hi Fellow Z Lovers! I have had my 1978 280Z 2+2 for several years now and have been slowly restoring it. It would be nice to finally drive it in the summer of 2010! I am in need of the right and left front bumper guards and also if anyone can give me some advice regarding rims and tires (where to buy/what to buy) I would surely be grateful. :ermm:Thanks

Been a 240z owner since 1972. Original owner and I'm in the process of some upgrades and refurbishment. A lot of great info has always been available from the Classic Z club. I also have a 1976 Honda Goldwing, which I also bought new.

Hi all, I was referred here because I'm looking to buy a z (prior to 76). I've got a lot to learn and until I get my hands dirty, understanding some stuff beforehand should help. I currently have a 2004 RX8 which is in the process of being sold. I try not to count my chickens before they hatch, as they say, but I'm too excited about the prospect of owning one of these beauties. My husband has a 370z which is going through a little reform too. Anyway, if you want to check out our cars, I have them on my blog www.jdmgallery.com. Here's one pic of my current car: Otherwise, I just wanted to say hi to everyone and let you know that I'll be stalking... Christine

Picked up a 74 260Z 2+2 a couple weeks ago here in SoCal. I have owned a 78 280Z and a 90 300ZX, but this is my first 2+2. The car was in the same family for 36 years and I'm hoping to enjoy the car for many years, too. The car has an L28 and carbs from a 240. Runs pretty well although I can practically watch the gas gauge go down. Lights weren't working, but it just took cleaning the contacts in the switch. Still not sure about the dash lights. I also joined HybridZ and have been doing some research there. The main issue I see coming is overheating. The temp gauge climbed quite a bit in stop and go. I'll have to figure something out before the summer heat comes. I went …

Recently purchased 1st series Z number HLS30-19645. Love the car and have wanted one since they first came out. Mine is a numbers matching vehicle with no rust in the floorpans or spare tire well; apparently has been a southwest vehicle all of it's life. Currently working on a few electrical bugs (previous owner was obviously NOT an electrician!) and have already got the carbs right, door locks, windshield wipers, windsield washers, and a few other things working. Looking forward to communicating with other Z owners and hopefully will be able to lend some assistance to other new owners!

Hey everyone. I've been a member here for quite some time, but I'd like to let you guys know about our car club the Grip Syndicate, where I was recently elected pres. We're based in eastern VA, and participate in numerous autocrosses in the area (over 20 last year). We also have our own road trips and road rallies, along with running with NASA at VIR. Check us out at http://www.gripsyndicate.com or on Facebook at Grip Syndicate, and you can see videos, pictures and our calender of events. If anybody is local, feel free to come out to a cruise, meeting, or autocross and run with us. Thanks, Billy Jarrell
