bumpety bump.

Just for the heck of it, several members of the Oklahoma Z Car Club have decided to meet for lunch at Mexico Joes Restaurant in Stillwater, Oklahoma November 19th (Sunday). See below for details. Come and see Z's of all years and hang out and speak with fellow enthusiasts. EVERYONE WELCOME!

jackboxxx, I would be more inclined to listen to your arguement of "the only true z is a 240z" if yours was a pure 240z and not a modified one. I prefer to allow owners of ORIGINAL 240z's to make that statement. On the other hand I do think the 280zx is definitely the lowest on the totem pole.

I have owned a 76, 85 Turbo, 91 NA and two weeks ago I bought a 2003 Touring. I have loved each and every one of them and all are from the same line IMO. I know many purists only take the 240z into consideration and even bastardize the 260 and 280. Many z owners do not have the time to search for that perfect 240z or they simply just want a car with all the modern luxuries (at least floor pans). Until I can find and afford a perfect 1970 and have a garage that will store 3 cars, I will have to come to this site and envy all of yours. But for now I will have to settle for my 350z.

Is this Shaun's car?

Now I know why I never wondered what it would be like if a corvette, a dodge daytona and a Z had a threeway.

Can't wait to see the pics. Sounds like you should change jobs to become a professional sports agent with those negotiation skills of yours.

I love the top-down look, but Ill take the lighter weight of the hard top any day. My $.02

Checked this guys feedback on ebay (since he currently has some Z items for sale). Check this link to see what some others have said about his "Threatening emails". One Ebay user apparently had filed a suit over e-mails by this person. http://cgi2.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=crcote@mindspring.com&page=13&items=25 Its the bottom feedback. The person who left the feedback for this jerk even left the case number for people to look up. This person has a problem with going innocent individuals on all the websites he uses apparently.

It came with the car when I bought it.

Although I have researched and located all of this person's information, I must stress that I have NOT contacted him or done anything to him in any way. I simply was demonstrating, that with minimal information, and a little internet savvy, anyone can be located. I realize that I should not have posted his information, not because it's illegal, but for ethical reasons. My apologies Mike. So if you are looking for that long lost relative, do not pay hundreds or thousands of dollars to some firm that will use the same information available to me for $.75.

I've got the dash mat cover and it fits quite nicely. It is really contoured around the corners (sides) and center guages. I think there is a pic of it in my gallery.

Anyone need some nissan brake pads? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=34199&item=2411307219 Texas Z. Maybe this seller has a car for sale for you to look into. Good luck.

Reply removed. Although I have every right to post his address and information. The address, name and other contact information was made public the minute he bought a phone, utilities, and advertised his number in a public forum such as a news letter or online advertisement. The website I used is legal under the GLB (Graham-Leach-Bliley) Act as "Necessary to effect or enforce a transaction". I am simply assisting in the attempt to put a cease and desist request in to Mr. Charles R. Cote on behalf of another user. That being said, I truely do not want anyone feeling like they could "get in trouble" so I removed my post. I was merely demonstrating how easy individuals can locate people because of the ability of the newest web browsing technology. I suggest that everyone go to www.google.com and type in their name in quotes and see what information comes up. You might be surprised. I put in my name with the name of my town and it pulled a news article and my picture from a softball tournament in 1997. Very eerie. e.g. "John Doe" "Atlanta" If Mr. Cote chooses to use the internet to harrass someone simply because he really, really wants a Z, he deserves to be poked and proded as well. My .02!!

ARE YOU TELLING US THAT YOU ARE USING THIS WEBSITE AND YOU DON'T EVEN OWN A Z!! (JUST KIDDING)!! One of the best aspects of this website is that all of the members will go out of their way to help other Z owners AND anyone wishing to acquire their own peice of Japanese Supercar history. I hope you are able to find that perfect Z. Sometimes the journey can be just as much fun as the destination!! Good Luck!!

I bought the video tape from the history channel a while back and it is a "Must-See". Be sure to not to miss the part of the show about the "Black-Gold" 280zx commercial. It's very "Burt Reynolds/Smokey and the Bandit late 70s" looking.

This may seem stupid, but when i am idling on an incline (facing upward) at an intersection or elsewhere, my idle drops to about 700 rpm. Sometimes the engine even quits. I have no problems when I'm sitting level or facing downward. Has anyone else ever had this problem? (1976 280z). Thanks!

What happens when this person is out driving on some back woods indiana dirt road drinking beer and tosses a can into the back forgetting that his powerplant is now on his rear. Probably would get thrown around the fan. <p>P.S. Why do cowboys have their hats curled up on the sides? <p>So you can fit three of them in a pickup!
