Looking for information from the Z cars racing glory days. I live in Indianapolis, and if my memory is clear, there was a Datsun dealer in Indianapolis by the name of "Jim Campbell Datsun", it no longer exists under that name. I think they sponsored a driver by the name of Logan Blackburn, a contemporary of Bob Sharp and John Mortn in the early Z car racing days. I would appreciate any information concerning logan Blackburn or Jim Campbell Datsun, or if anyone has any idea how to contact Logan Blackburn. Irecently re-purchased a Z that I had owned 20+ years ago, that was supposedly owned by Logan Blackburn. Any input would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks, John 1972 1973…

Like I said, dumb question. Did the 71 240Z have a windshield washer? The switch is there but no tank and no evidence of washer nozzles. I know that the lever could have been changed at any time and might not be original. Anyone know if they all had them or when the started? John

Hey guys, I need some help! Does anyone know of a good source for a rust-free (or pretty close) shell for an early Z. I have a '72, and I pretty much have aquired all good parts, and it turns out my frame is too rusted to be worth fixing. In fact, it even appears someone already did some metal work last time around. I live in Toronto, Canada and all the Z's up here are generally rotted from our winters and the road salt. I have been searching for a few months here, ebay, other sites, forums..etc. I have only found one or two rolling shells that dont need work. I know Texas, Arizona, and California are the promise land...but I'd like to find one closer if at all possible. …

I was lookin around for places that have manuals and books on z's and i found this site, http://www.books4cars.com/search~findmake~Nissan~finddesc~Z.htm What books do you guys recomend that i should pick up for my 71. I was thinkin a shop manual for sure, and maybe the "how to restore" book cuz everyone says it has good info. If you guys know a place to get these books at a better price or if there are any other must reads that arent on that list let me know. thanks

I finally got the title for my Series I HLS30-03486 Z car. The build date is 4/70 but the title has it as a 71. It was first registered in 71 - could that be why? What determines the title year? Maybe its an Arizona thing. thanks in advance....

Okay... so I'd like to know if this is true, because apparently there's a story behind the creation of the name Datsun... Well... does that sound right?

Hello everyone, My name is Reese and I live in Harrisburg PA. My father and I owna shop in town called Modified Motorsports and we mainly work on sport compacts and Honda Acura Nissan Swaps. I look in here from time to time because i have been searching for a z car for 2 years and found one earlier today! Great shape and great interior. I will post some pics later for everyone. Car was only 300 bucks. It is a 78 280z. I would really like to know where some of you are getting the replacement front bumper for the zcar. I am looking for the one that the silver car has on it from the road and track article that was posted up in here. It is smaller and closer to the c…

Picked up a parts car recently. Now looking at this car, I know that it's only reasonable value would be that of a parts car, yet something about actually leading this car to it's demise kinda bugs me inside. I mean..... being the man at the guillotine with rope in hand, knowing that my next action will actually remove from existance one of man's great achievements without any chance of recovery, dumps a 55 gallon drum of guilt all down my back. It's almost like the string of identification numbers that makes this car what it is today, will be all thats left, much like the dog tags of a long forgotten soldier. But maybe I am looking at this dilemma from the wrong a…

hey guys, some of you might remember i was looking into a Z in Arizona. Good thing i didnt pick that one up cuz few days ago my dad handed me an ad from the newspaper for a 71 240. The car is from Nevada and has been in Chicago for only one year. The car has no rust, well one spot on the cowl where like 2 bubles are cumming from under the paint, thats all though. Floor pans, frame rails, spare tire well, inner fenders, its all mint condition. no body filler, never been in an accident. The car has some nice 14" spoke rims with new tires, interior is complete, one rip in the 30 year old leather seat. looking underneath and at the suspension no bolts appear to be rusted. My…

Hey for those of you who subscribe to R & T, Car and Driver or Motor Trend there are several Z's featured in a new Nissan advertisement in the July issues. There is a picture of Me and my BRE replica (with several BRE decals airbrushed off the car for some unknown reason) taken at MSA this year. Before you run out to the newsstand, keep in mind that these advertisements are only for people who subscribe, and not on the newsstand copies for some reason!? R

i finally found a car for me. Its a 73 with round tops. anywho, i am planning to drop the gas tank and see whats inside. I expect it to be filled with sludge and rust and who knows what else. From searching and reading the forum for the last few months i know all about the options of gas tank renu, por15 kit, or having a radiator shop boil the tank. However, i havent seen any one talk about prices for a new used tank. ZnZX in houston claims to have several used tanks in excellent condition for sale. What would yall expect the going rate for a gas tank to be? i assume, since most people seem to spend 100-150 to get their tank boiled a new used excellent condition t…
