Posted February 2, 200619 yr comment_154424 Hey there, I'v had an idea to register here for ages. But now i kicked my self to do it. Im from the same city as "260z" is. We have few Z's in here I guess 260z has told about them already. I have a -83 280zx (the 83 model wasn't an option in the selection of "my Z cars" in options for some reason?) Aaaanyway it's been driven 270tkm and has some rust under the floormat, but thats usual in these This one i bought little over a year ago. Drove it last winter with no problems, but for this winter i got another car so i don't have to spank the poor Z in the cold. Im thinking of getting the rust off and repainting it to black. Also i need some Chrome rims under it. Mmmm thats about it i guess.

February 2, 200619 yr Author comment_154434 Yeah.. i kinda figured that later.. but there still is 280zx models 80, 81 and 82 there. Why is that? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/18751-hello-jani-from-finland/#findComment-154434 Share on other sites More sharing options...
February 2, 200619 yr comment_154441 JaniH First, welcome and I'm sure everyone is happy to see another Z enthusiast come onboard and second, you're correct in stating that the 83 280ZX was not a selection option available for you to use. (Don't feel bad, it wasn't there for me either!)I guess since there is no 1972 240Z available, then individuals with those models might wanna look elsewhere? And just why are we discriminating against these two models (83&72) when we let the ultra rare 75 260Z & the 79 280Z be included. Ease up Billy boy, there's enough room for everyone.

February 2, 200619 yr comment_154471 Nothing "Rare" at all about a 75 260Z, they were only "Rare" in the US.We were tighter over ZX's here two years ago. Thank goodness we dropped our biased opinion a bit. I like the S130's myself and consider them a classic Z car as much as the S30 models. I guess if Otso sent you here, You must be alright.Bill, Jani is a man's name (Most often) in Finland Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/18751-hello-jani-from-finland/#findComment-154471 Share on other sites More sharing options...
February 3, 200619 yr comment_154478 As Victor wrote, we were tighter on ZX's. But they didn't have anywhere else to go, so I guess we can only be of assistance in areas of similarity.It may be time to give them a separate forum as we did with the "K's"?Welcome aboard anyway, I doubt we can be of much assistance apart from enigine & transmission areas.

February 3, 200619 yr comment_154479 Oh my bad.....didn't realize the selection list included the JDM and other export markets. So you mean there IS supposed to be a selection option for the 76,77,and 78 260Z's as well? There seems to be so many other possibilities missing.

February 3, 200619 yr comment_154507 Hey, we are totally welcome to the ZX. Although most of our members are early Z owners, the ZX is quickly becoming a classic. If you have a question about your ZX, don't be shy....I must also compliment you on a very nice looking Z. It must be difficult to find parts and support in Finland. Or, do you notice a lot of other Z car owners in your country?

February 3, 200619 yr comment_154522 "Ease up Billy boy, there's enough room for everyone.'You should read more carefully.

February 3, 200619 yr comment_154528 It must be difficult to find parts and support in Finland. Or, do you notice a lot of other Z car owners in your country?Mike,There are few Z-owners in Finland. You can check some of the Z-cars here in Finland e.g. at www.dnsf.orgIt's quite hard to find some parts here, but I think that several of the Z-owners order parts from the USA, UK and Ebay.I've owned two 280ZX:s and one 240Z. At the moment I do not have Z, but looking for new projects :lick: Sorry Jani that I hijacked your topic.

February 4, 200619 yr comment_154634 Welcome Jani. There plenty of info here on the ZX. I'm sure you'll find the board useful. Nice lookin ZX btw. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/18751-hello-jani-from-finland/#findComment-154634 Share on other sites More sharing options...
February 5, 200619 yr Author comment_154688 Thanks for the kind replies. I think there aren't many parts for Z-cars in Finland, But local nissan dealers have almost every original part for atleast zx's, but all of the parts need to be shipped from Holland, if i remember correctly. It ain't cheap of course And Kimi, no problem. You should buy the new Z already, there is still few months time to build Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/18751-hello-jani-from-finland/#findComment-154688 Share on other sites More sharing options...
