Our club has been growing! We are getting to the point where we are busting at the seams and more people are asking, "What kind of Zcar content can we post or talk about?"

Well, here's your answer!!

This site accepts any kind of content about Zcars as long as the information relates to the CLASSIC Zcar. No problem, right?!

Sure, but, the definition of a CLASSIC ZCAR is up for debate and I'm sure our club could talk about it until we are blue in the face.

So, we need to keep in mind that a few simple rules are in place here. They are:

1) Keep all content Z related. The occasional joke, comic, other car companies, and just general 'other' content is also welcome. However, it should be in limited quantity.

2) All content should be useful to an owner of a Classic Z. If you are posting messages about how to add a supercharger to the newest 350z, you should probably take your message to a site that is dedicated to the 350z. Although we do discuss the 350z on this site, we usually talk about the styling, design, handling, and how it compares to the true classic.

3) Keep in mind that our site is a place where ALL creatures are welcome. We don't have any official speakers or representatives and the messages sent and received by other members should be construed as opinions. Whatever you take from this site, we want to make sure that you walk away with a confidence that your car is the best damn thing on the planet. And, that you can work on it knowing that others are here to help you.

4) Remember that our site is a moving target. Although our focus will *NEVER* stray from the Z, our content can change and move according to the people we attract. We want to make sure you get what you came for.

5) Never flame (messages filled with emotion rather than fact) and treat all members like they were your best friend. We are here to help each other and any debate that moves away from factual Z-related content will only harm all of us in the end.

There ya go, if you think we need more rules or changes to the rules please let me know. If you forget all 5, remember this NUMBER ONE RULE... keep all content Z related. You'll be right on track....................

Thanks!

Mike

PS What is a 240ZX? Do you have an L28 in it?

Carl,

Thanks so much for the info on POSTING. I've posted many replies but never a new thread. Thanks again.

What is a 240ZX? Yes, my 240 has an L28 (w/early SU's), a late model 5 speed, 3.90 R200, R200 drive axles, and a brake system from an 83 280ZX. So, I thought to myself....If Datsun had made a 240ZX, this is how they might have configured it. Hence, 240ZX!!! I actually have a licence plate frame that says "1970 240ZX". It usually starts up a good conversation when I'm around other Z freaks. Other folks that are clueless about Z's don't even notice.

Anyway, thanks again for your assistance with posting.

Hi Tom:

Glad to Help. I'm over 50 now myself and I know how confusing some of this stuff can be the first time around.

Yeah, a 240ZX. I sure WISH they had done it that way from the factory, but as long as there is a supply of rusted out ZX's around WE can pick up where Nissan left off. I haven't done that to my car yet, as it's still runnig good with the original stuff. I did rebuild an L24 that I just installed, but someday in the future there will be an L28 (or a 2.9 Rebello L24) and a 5-speed, etc dropped into "B-killer". Currently, I'm keeping her close to stock.

Carl,

If you are interested, visit my gallery and check it out!

P.S. Can you tell I love my toy?

that the 240K is a Skyline, I have to say that I actually can see Alfadogs and others point of view - the Skyline clubs ARE a bit like the 300ZX mob with a slightly nearsighted point of view ;-) and the 240Ks are wonderful, unique cars that deserve to be preserved. -so yes lets share our appreciation of their common grounds with the 240Z.

but if ya wanna talk Alfas - well thats another story! :-)))

Mike, I'm concerned by the 'rule' "never flame" !

We are all passionate creatures, proven by the way we drive a car that will never recover the money we put into it.

A little provocation sometimes is not a bad thing and also, I thoroughly enjoyed (and learnt from) the discussions before, during and after the recent police action in Iraq.

I wouldn't want this site to 'dry up' ! It represents people and therefore opinions from many countries and cultures - how many times have you had to step in and 'forcibly calm people down ?

Not many. This group has been pretty good about keeping the content related to Z. I've seen other sites spiral into a collage of random words and threads that have nothing to do with the car. While most 'other' posts are welcome, we are known for our dedication to good content. People come here to ask/learn/read about their classic Z.

Flames are OK only if they don't spawn a huge war. I can count the number of times I've had to step in on a single hand (less than 5). So, it's really not that bad. Our new super-moderators are also helping out with this.

What, and Who are "Super-Moderators?

Yes - pray tell.

I'm not sure if I like the idea of being super-moderated by something or somebody who I don't know...........

Super Moderators, kind of gives me bad mental images, I think its just a reason for Mike to wear his underpants on the outside .
