Introducing ourselves formally to the Classic Z Car Forum - Datsun Spirit Inc.

[DatsunSpirit]

For some of you Datsun Spirit may be a familiar name, for others this may be the first time your learning of this shop. Eiji however, Datsun Spirit's founder is a legend in the Z Car community with his orange, slide carb, 240ZG. Datsun Spirit offers various parts for L Series motors, from our custom piston and rods to full on part restorations. Utilizing Eiji's knowledge and passion of L Series motors Datsun Spirit has created top quality products that speak for themselves in the Z car community. We are committed to bringing additional products to the Z market and over the next few months we will be updating our products catalog to showcase just that. Please visit us at Datsun Spirit, Inc. | over the coming weeks to see what we've been up to.

I have read several accounts of Eiji's work on this forum and they've all been very positive. But who are you?

What is your 1/4 mile official record? Any winning awards at the show? credential as a mechanic? Is this a shop or a shop out of a storage. Very curious as a customer. No offence. More info will help........

I've bought a few hard to find early Z items from Datsun Spirit over the years. Good service, able to get "unobtainium" type parts, OK prices, and good communication on orders. One man's opinion.

I met Eiji when I was a member of the Z Car Club of Northern Virginia. Sometimes he brought some of his interesting toys to the club meetings. I would also see him running his car up and down Prince William Parkway. He is the real deal. I'm not sure who made the original post, though. Whomever it was has not come back since.

Guy, aka Diseazed, knows him well.

So - "Kobe Beef" wants more information about Richie and Eiji. Sorry, but that just struck me as funny…

I do agree - that Richie should have been introducing himself - as lots of us know Eiji. Some of the information suggested should be found on their Web Site.

FWIW,

Notice how the guy separated Eiji out, and he is presenting himself as Datsun Spirit.  Like Eiji is leaving and new management is coming in.  Almost 8 years ago.  Things change.

This doesn't seem relevant anymore although it is odd that the guy has not been back since he made his 3rd post May 13, 2016.  Whoever the guy is.

I must have missed this thread.  I had no idea.  I should call him.

I miss the direct phone conversation days. 

I'm selling Ben Moore paint and they want to email everything. I call and after 20 minute hold they can tell me what is available and not. The email snail takes 2 days at least.

Did that Datsun Spirit stealing an engine thread get deleted.  I can’t find it now and tried to post on it  and it failed,  I think it was deleted.  That was the most insane thread I’ve read on here.

Edited -

Disappointing.  It was a good conversation.  But it's Mike's forum at the end of the day.  We just hang out here.
