Hey guys,

Long time lurker and Z fan. Have owned them for 30 years. Mrs. E-tek raced one in Vancouver for a while. This one we've had for 15 years and is about to get the full monty. I restore cars as a hobby and usually keep them1.

Thanks for looking!

Worst Parts.....

Lots of views of my beater above, but not a one reply!!

Maybe you guys needs some incentive!

Here's some of Mrs. E-tek's PR shots for her racing efforts....enjoy.

HI E-tek. I know those pictures

Cool web page. A great tribute to the hobby!

Thanks Thor - that's a very nice comment - means a lot.

(Sorry it's sometimes hard to navigate tho!)

Question posed in PM - thought I'd answer for all....

nice photos on your website. Who's the girl by the Z. Very nice. Ben

That would be Mrs. E-tek! Those are some PR out-takes we used for our sposnsors. When we met she was into F1 and street racing in a big way and wanted to learn to race professionally. She took a road-racing course and I "built" her that car (fully race-prepped 71 Z). It was sponsored by a variety of big name but mostly local sposnsors. Fun years. We sold it just a few years back to another racer, who campaigns it in central Canada.

Cheers!

Hey welcome to the site and good luck with your project. You are a lucky man to have such an understanding and supportive partner. Definitely a rare find. I look forward to seeing your progress.

Moving slong with the stripping process...

START 'EM YOUNG!!

Love to see the family is involved. Keep up the great work.

Here where the work will go! The second photo is of a patch I did several years ago, with the car on wheels in my driveway. I'll be redoing the right way now!

After looking at buying, then making a rotisserie, I'll be building and using one like this ingenious set-up:

Got the rest of it stripped and stored. Pulled the rubber factory sound deadener off the passenger floor and found a completely rusted out floor.

Does anyone repop floors and sheet metal for the Zeds?

Charlie Osborne of Zedd Findings http://www.datsunzparts.ca/NewParts/summary.htm is a fairly popular choice here for the floor pans / rails. I have a pair in the garage waiting to go into mine right now.
