  1. Where the hell do people find all these professional video editors? It's like watching a TV show. How can you guys get so lucky?
  2. This is the first time I've ever heard anyone mention a wet brake problem due to rain flowing through the ducts. Has anyone ever verified this? It's not like there isn't any water flying around under a Z without a spook and there is a shield. If this were a true safety issue, you think it would have been widely reported and the ducts discontinued years ago.
  3. A 2003 240Z would have sold millions, but they didn't listen.
  4. Les at CDM told me that these are the same kits they used in the Z Store restoration program for Nissan. Why would Nissan approve kits that are not loop pile and do not have the rear slots for the metal floor tabs or the front snaps? I guess I could take the kit to an upholstery shop and have them sew in the slots, and I could add the snaps. Looks like the Datsun Spirit kits covers even the vinyl portions of the interior floor.

  6. I only saw the MSA spook briefing so I can't say with absolute certainty, but it seems to me the BRE spook is a bit heavier and more rigid than the MSA spook. Frankly I don't think weight is an important concern for those that aren't racing. Rigidity of the structure is important to ensure proper function and mitigate cracking. Les gets many of his products made by the same companies as others, but that does not automatically mean that they are the same. I don't know how you can determine how the products are made unless you talk to Les and MSA.
  7. I was unaware of this, because it does not say on the website. It says sewn to original specifications, which I mistakenly took to mean made like the original carpet. Apparently Nissan approved the change for the Z Store program.
  8. My Z was purchased at West Valley Datsun in Glendale, AZ in Oct 71. My dad purchased the 510 at Pence-Briggs Datsun in Richmond, VA in May 71. Both cars painted 920 Gold! Maybe I should join an Arizona Z club, eh?
  9. Never heard this one, but I have heard the Datsun 510 referred to as the poor man's BMW, because the BMW 1600 may have inspired it. I can't verify it though.

    Link ZDayZ is a southeast regional event for Datsun/Nissan Z-car enthusiasts. The main focus of ZDayZ is driving, but there are plenty of activities for all kind of Z-enthusiasts! This year is at Fontana Village Resort - Fontana, NC.

    Link The 2008 Branson Z Fest is scheduled for Wednesday, May 7 through Sunday, May 11. The event organizers believe that it is very important to provide a way for the entire Z family to all be together in one place. We are firmly committed to the idea that the car show on Saturday is the foundation on which the rest of the event is built. It is the one time when we all officially come together to socialize, eat, dream and present awards to those that earned them during the previous week full of fun. AREA '57

  15. I believe I had to take the screws loose to take the carpet out of mine. I couldn't get to the carpet because it's stored, but the rubber/foam backing is very dry and cracking.
  16. Just for the record, yalls Z's are screwed up and mine is perfect.
