IMSA GTU Datsun Z website

[Steve Parmley]

I'm working on content and history still and have contacted a few folks from back in the day. I am trying to get information from the source rather than relying on what is already out there. I am going to link to the 2 companies I know of that are starting up production on flares and g-noses once I see they are actually making them. I just recieved an e-mail from the buyer of the Arizona Z molds. He thinks he will have the rounded IMSA flares and g-nose in production soon, like in two weeks. I really like your idea of a side by side comparison and description of the different flare shapes and what will fit under them. Maybe the stub axles didn't hold up, so there could be some good or sad stories to be told. I will have a for sale section for parts and cars relating to the IMSA era. I might have a vintage racer soon on there for sale. Check back!

Nice site,

FWIW I saw Paul Newman stuff the Bob Sharp Z under the bridge at Atlanta during an IMSA race. Should have been '76 or '77. It was also the same weekend I got to meet him and his wife. I was crewing for an IMSA Radial Sedan back then.(an AMC Gremlin of all things) Jim Downing was just getting started with the RX3 and Amos Johnson and Dennis ? (Team Highball) were racing AMC Pacers.............and WINNING

thanks for the pictures and the memories
