Bahrain eh? Welcome to the club! It is nice to have some diversity in the club, I wonder if you are the first member from Bahrain here

thanx will..

Schevets, I might be the 1st member from bahrain here but not the first oner of z car :classic:

thanx for ur concern..

peace!

nice zed.do you drive on the left or right handside of the road? hard to tell by your pics. by the way, how much is petro in your neck of the woods?

Welcome to the group , as was stated there is a tremendous amount of Z information here . Mostly we are from the USA and so the cars mentioned here have those features. So if our Zs are somewhat different than yours , please mention this when asking a question. For an example : our 260z was only available for one year , ' 74 . Your Z is looking good . I bet you don't see many other ones on the road there. Gary

I believe Nissans sold well there. Wouldn't doubt there's quite a few. How's the parts situation over there? Hard to come by? How about shipping costs from the U.S.?

the liter of fine petrol cost approx. 0.266 USD/liter, that is a dollar and something pe gallon as i guess, the lower petrol chich has the octane of 90 or less if I'm not wrong costs 0.2USD per liter which is 0.8 USD per gallon, I hope that i gave the correct figures:)

we drive on the right side as normal people;) I cant imagine myself shifting the gears with the left hand

I dont think that there would be any difference between my z and the once u have there in the US, coz my Z s braught from Texas 11 years ago:) thats why I'm goining this forum, coz answers can be gotten from here..

yes nissan are well sold here since a long time, but unfortunately our grandparents and fathers didnt care to buy sports cars that time, they were mostly attracted to datsun 280C or 200-240L, they claimed that z cars are for teenagers.. so most of the 240-260-280Z or maybe all of them were braught from the US untill the nissan 280ZX '83 came with gullf Spec's here so many people bught them and there were really many of them even they were so cheap and not attractive, I had a 83 280ZX b4 bot cantcompared with the Z! the Z s more classy..

but nower days the Z cars dissapeared, guys from kuwait baught the most of them for race and dunout porposes, the others are kept inside and hidden! coz in bahrain we have really nice clean cars, my car is braught from the US as i told, still stock since that time, and will remain so..

I have no idea about the shipping cost, i guess u can get it from the post there in the US maybe!? and spare parts here for an old Z car is hell! i have to pick up my part a hang arround with it between there spare parts shops until i find a similar part! i had a problem finding a tie rod man!, the base of the flange (outlet of the block wher the heat sensor is mounted) s NOT AVAILABLE HERE AT ALL!! well, have to be carfeull on my car :stupid:

thanks guys, I hope that i gave u good info.

I attach more pics of the interior so Zhead will be satisfied;)

peace!

Your petrol prices over there are less than 1/3 of what we pay here. Since there are 4 quarts rather than liter to a US gallon, the price would actually be less than what you stated. I guess that makes sense since you are in the region where it is produced.

i huess so:)
