Hey Enthu-Z-Asts! 

 

My name is Oscar. I created ZOCIETY soon after purchasing my first S30 last summer. I picked up a mint 1976 280Z from the original owner that had originally purchased it from LA Harbor Datsun. 91k original miles and fully stock. The Z mod bug hit me really hard days after. I wanted to build my Z and I wanted to get to know the Z community better, and that is where it all started! I decided to take it to social media and have met many amazing Enthu-Z-Asts from around the world.The Z community in California is very active and wanted to build more than just a team or a club. I wanted to build a family worldwide, and bring the Z community closer together. ZOCIETY consists of builds, events, canyon runs, photo shoots, custom products, and more. Join The ZOCIETY! Follow me on Instagram! @zociety_

Had to look this up:

 

These days, it’s common to spot cars done up in some JDM fashion sporting one of these plastic 'hang rings' on their rear bumpers. In case you didn't know what the trend is all about, here’s a little history lesson on where it all originated from.
 

The 'hang ring', otherwise known as a 'Tsurikawa' as it’s called in Japan, is basically a hand strap people are supposed to hold on to when riding the bus or train standing up. If you regularly take public transport, then you should know this 'hang ring' is just like the ones found in any other country that has a mass transit system.

Pretty boring stuff, right?

What makes it cool, however, was that Tsurikawas became a sign of rebellion. Members of the Bosozoku (Japan's anti-establishment street gangs) would steal Tsurikawas and blatantly hang them off their car's rear bumpers; ideally dragging them on the ground until they disintegrate. This obviously was illegal and by flaunting one in public on your car was a subtle way of giving the middle finger to society.

Since then, hardcore Japanese car enthusiasts have taken to rocking a Tsurikawa as an expression of the freedom it represents. It became such as trend that you can actually buy different Tsurikawa styles from a car accessory shop these days. But if you want to be true to the spirit, a real Tsurikawa can't be bought and has to be 'picked'.

I'll leave it up to your creativity to source one here.

And all this time I've seen the hang ring, I thought it was for pulling you out of the ditch when over steering.   

 

The bull scrotum is popular around here also.  Some guys will weld very large lug nuts to a chain to hang off the back end.  Nuts of steel.

I thought the ring was some kind of dual exhaust, because of how low it hangs.
