Hello all!

I'm currently the owner of a 98 240sx and an 89 Silvia clone. I plan to purchase my first Z (1978) after I sell my 98 to a family member.

It's so refreshing to join a board with members who rather help, than chastise :classic:

Welcome aboard! Always great to ave a new member. Where ya from?

Fortunately, I'm from Savannah Ga and I'm alway seeing classic Datsun's aound. I can't wait.

My future car (hopefully the owner will take my offer tomorrow)...

It looks good, but inspect it well and be prepared to walk away. Don't sell yourself. battery box, frame box area behind the wheels, window frames, rear hatch area. Please don't buy a pretty Rust bucket with nice paint. No one needs a shiney parts car.

Is the Silvia crowd that bad? That's unfortunate.

Welcome to the club!

This club is a wealth of early Z knowledge, and a group of great members!

Enjoy it.

There is also a Local Z club in Savannah, We meet the third tuesday of every month at 7pm at B&D Burgers on Abercorn-that club is open to all people interested in Z cars-from the 240Z-350Z. Next Tuesday is the next meeting, and the following Saturday night we are meeting at the Sonic in Garden City.

I hope to see you at the meetings-there are only a few members with Early Zs, PM me if you wnat more info.

PS, It does look good, if you need a hand checking the car out, let me know.

They are here in Texas. A lot of snobbery and poking fun, Very little help or appreciation.

Hi ShinHed, that's awesome to hear! We work hard to help our fellow Z friends!! Hope you find that car soon and enjoy the site.

Welcome! I'm sure you'll have an absolute blast owning the Z. It is a very different car.

Nevertheless, would you mind posting a picture or two of your S13s?

Don't let the pics of the Z fool you. It was wet and it's paint looks very dull and original.

I have very few pics of my S13 so, here are some very old ones when I first got it started.

It handled like a skateboard (all new bushings, coils, arms...)

Now it's on jack stands (axle came undone prompting more upgrades )

hls30.com,

Have any ties to Asian Automotive?

Welcome to the group! I have an 89 S13 daily driver with minor mods. Great little car. I wish you the best of luck finding a Z that suits you.

Mickey Carter owns and operates Asian Automotive, and he is an outstanding mechanic. If I didn't do the work on my car, I would pay Mickey to. Mickeys Dad is one of my closest friends-and a Master Datsun mechanic-he is the one that came up with the "factory fix" for the '73 carbs.

Sorry for hijacking the thread, however,

73 carb fix?

Can you enlighten us flat top drivers!

MOM

Cap the return line orface, and bleed the vapor off just before the carb by putting a nipple at the inlet fitting, and hooking the return line there.

Also replace the mechanical pump with an electric one, and run the fuel lines from the fender instead of around the engine.
