If you guys are replacing those switches, it may be worth while to check the materials used for the switch. You will want something stainless or nickel-plated brass. You could also head down to your local marine store to see what they've got. I know mine has a ton of these switches in stock and ready for the elements. https://www.fisheriessupply.com/sitesearch.aspx?keyword=toggle switch&sitesearch=true

Great reference thread! Thanks.

Good to know, thanks for posting this info! I have been looking for one of these for my '71. They are hard to come by (in good shape anyway). I've been pondering the purchase of another one so I can restore it. This will give me the information that I need to make a purchase.

Center exhaust is very difficult to pull off... and Honda did not do that one right.. lol I will never buy a fully electric car, it needs to have an engine backup (hybrid) otherwise I'd be sitting somewhere begging for a ride. Ever run your phone out of battery because you forgot to charge it? Yeah... Of course you have the same issue with running out of gas, but, at least you can pull over somewhere and fill up in less than 10 minutes. An electric car you'd be sitting there for an hour or more...

Does anyone have information about the driveline and frame? Just wondering if they put this on an Altima frame or they build something new? My guess is they went with an existing frame and driveline, but, that's just a guess.

Porsche did a good job making their 911 more modern and updated rear end.

Yeah man, we were discussing in another thread. But, that's ok. I really want to see something done about that ugly arse. It really destroys the look of the car in my opinion. Make the tail-lights more like the 240z. There is space to make the lights taller. And they really should widen those exhaust pipes. They look stupid so close together.

Some takeaways: Distinctive Z profile and roofline LED headlights Rectangular LED tail lights Pearlescent paint V6 twin-turbocharged engine Dual exhaust 19-inch alloy wheels Modern sports car cockpit Bespoke yellow accents Iconic Z triple-meter gauge Six-speed manual transmission Z Proto Design Pure sports car proportions. Long hood, short rear deck and wheels pushed out to the corners. The Nissan Z Proto stays true to its DNA while adding a modern twist to its iconic styling cues.

And their next promo video....

Here's passion for the Z right here:

Yeah, I'm not too attached to the headlights or brake lights... we'll see how they go into production with these.

Not bad... he says it's close to final... not a prototype

Here's a link to the reveal for today:

IMHO, these look a lot more like they should for the Z. I'd be curious to see how the other headlights look on the car though. So, please post some photos. Maybe we should make a Z headlight photo thread? ?

This is one of my favorite sources to check pollution levels. This link shows particulate matter in 2.5 parts per million. You can also mess around with the settings on the bottom left to see other readings. https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/particulates/surface/level/overlay=pm2.5/orthographic=-120.33,39.35,2015

Yeah I'm in Seattle as well. The smoke has moved up here since the winds changed in the last few days. We had an West blowing wind early in the week and now it's blowing North/NorthEast. So all of that smoke has moved in from Oregon. I'm inside with the AC blowing and double filters on our furnace. I put one of these on the front of our regular filter: https://www.homedepot.com/p/True-Blue-24-in-x-36-in-x-1-in-Budget-FRP-2-Washable-Filter-HD0124361/202195941 You can also grab one of these as well to control the odors: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Web-20-in-x-25-in-x-1-in-Absorber-Odor-Control-FPR-5-Air-Filter-WABSORBFPR/100011568 It's not healthy to be outside, so, please take care of yourselves.

Saw this small leak on youtube

A little image ****ery and we can see more details... at least until the 16th.

I like that one too... Here's what the notes say on the youtube video.. RETRO ? We'll see. ? This snapshot of the back end does look promising. And did anyone notice the MANUAL transmission? Whoop...

Very jealous... I miss having a garage for my Z to work on it. Would be better to have a nice shop like that one... nice work!

Depends on what you're going to build. Stud grade material is not so bad but if you go for the Douglas Fir #2 grade, it's going to be a bit more expensive. I've found wood can vary in price just like petroleum. Some 2x4 white wood here in Seattle is only around $3 a stick. A bit more if you want it kiln dried. Wet lumber is always the cheapest but again it depends on what you're building.

@conedodger so sorry to see this... no words can replace a lost friend.. hope you're doing ok Mike

Oh my... ?

Tell us more about this game.. ? Definitely interested in playing one involving a Z.
