I saw a Datsun today!

Wow, well most of you think im crazy.. but its rare to see a Datsun around here, especially because its winter, although we have no snow.. (Oshkosh, Wisconsin)...

I was walking through the living room, and I saw a blue flash go buy, so I ran to the door and looked down the street, and holy crap.. a blue 240z, turning the corner down the block.. So.. I wanted to follow it, but my sisters car was blocking my truck in the garage, so I took her car, and tryed to find where it went, well a block a way I found it, I turned, and he was coming towards me down the road, wow.. mint condition, blue.. awesome! I turned around, and tryed to see where he went. He was looking at a airplane at the airport, then I went to get my truck.. and he took off down the road.. and I never saw it agian.. but it sure did sound sweet.. I want one even more now..

ya, and thats the first one I've ever seen driving on public roads.. I've seen them racing before, and sitting, but never driving on roads.. soo.. yay..

i'm in the same boat. the day that i decided i was going to buy one i was out under the harbour bridge where some nice cars meet on the weekends. anyway, i'd only ever noticed one on the road that i can remeber and being rare over here too i was blown out of my socks when this deep red one drove past. as soon as he'd parked i went over to talk to him and man was this car mint or what.

he'd just finished it after a couple of months in the shop where he spent over $35k on it. Loud, proud and quick was this car.

btw, i'm thinking of importing one from the US but i'll leave that as a last resort.

Us cars are lower spec than aussie cars. No rear sway bar, 4 speed gearbox. some have weird emmission stuff and impact absorbing bumpers. But if you could get a coupe of them stuffed into a shipping container it would probably be worth it.

There are plenty of decent Datsuns around here in Az, but it seems that I never come across any when I am in my 240z. I did pull behind a new 350z in the Sonic drive through in my z and got a few looks.

I LIVE IN TORONTO SO I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT. I HAVE THIS THEORY THAT NISSAN REPLACED ALL THE Z'S WITH ZX'S. I CAN GO FOR MONTH'S WITHOUT SEEING

ANOTHER Z, BUT I SEE A ZX ALMOST EVERYDAY.

WINTER DOESNT HELP EITHER

I think i'm gonna import from Japan, now. Should be a lot easier and much more to choose from.

Any differences between them and what may have been imported to NZ?
