Welcome. I've not seen anyone from Lebanon or UAE post here so you might be the first. There have been some posts recently from someone in Kuwait and from the looks of it there are quite a few nice cars there. I realize that Kuwait is a bit north of you but that's the closest member I know of.

As-salaam alaykum Sharbel,

I used to live in Dubai some 6 years ago. I've got mates out there still their pictures of the developments in the past few years are beyond belief. No wonder we pay so much for fuel these days eh.

Good luck with finding anyone Dubai or any neighbouring emirates with first gen zeds. Don't hold your breath finding a ZX either, but some maybe around. Cars like our rust out very qucikly out there in the heat and salt.

Happy hunting.

10 years after my post, changing work country pleased to say that I finally found one

On 12 Feb during a quick 5 days trip to lebanon I found my new project a 260z that in need a lots of love and care.

Now she is going in the process of restoration 

So lots of playing around was done to it and not in a good way I have some doubt about the engine and gear 

The engine has one carburetor while the gear is 5speed the VIn read GRLS30-401190 so how can I verify

And any recommendations on slight simple increase in power while maintaining the car original specs Thank you all 

Best Regards

Sharbel
