  1. Very cool. If any of you are interested in uploading all your images after the show, I can make a gallery area for it. Just let me know. Would like to see the images! Mike
  2. Funny how things are turning around though. There once was a time that people searched far and wide to find the cheapest deal. Now people seem to be searching far and wide to find the best quality. There are good products that come out of China. Just reach into your pocket and look at your mobile phone. Manufacturers can no longer build disposable crap. I have a feeling the new generations will shift things back. Don't blame government, blame the consumer.
  3. Yuck! They should have at least put in one of those Retro Sound radios.. or I guess installing nothing in that area leaves it open for new owner to install whatever they want. I don't like that 3-dial A/C control panel at all.. it looks unfinished.
  4. I didn't read the description, but, did they explain the reason for the three dials where the radio should be located? It doesn't seem that Nissan would make that kind of modification..
  5. Kats, these concerns aren't just limited to cars and parts. Just look at household appliances, home construction materials, etc, etc.. Who do we blame? The manufacturer, or the majority of consumers who wants to buy these things for the cheapest price? In my old age, I'm starting to focus more on quality/workmanship of well made (and typically expensive) products. It's a lot easier to appreciate...

  8. https://www.japaneseclassiccarshow.com/locationtime/ 14 years ago a group of Southern California car enthusiasts got together with the idea of putting on a new event – one that would celebrate vintage Japanese automobiles and the culture that surrounds them. At the time this was a pretty bold idea, as classic Japanese cars had yet to reach mainstream acceptance. Fast forward 14 years, JCCS has become one of Southern California’s premier car gatherings. In recent years the event has grown right alongside the popularity of classic Japanese cars themselves. It is and remains to be America's First and Original Japanese Car Show, Dedicated to Old School Japanese Cars. JCCS recognizes that time marches on, and that yesterday’s new car becomes today’s classic with the passage of time. As the years rolled on, we felt that our 1985-generation limit had grown too constrictive. And so, we announced that we are allowing cars built through 1995 (and later cars of that generation) since 2018: that means FC RX7s, DC Integras, NA Miatas, Mk3 Supras, R32 Skylines, and “many more” are now eligible to join us on the show field at JCCS. http://www.japaneseclassiccarshow.com/register/

    Get the BRE cover. I have it and the fit is wonderful for inside my garage. Mike
  10. Gorgeous!!
  11. Hi @jonathanrussell, yeah I compared to Panasports, Rota, and Konig's. The VTO wheels are very nice option at a medium price point. No real complaints from the shop on mount/balance. From what I can tell, the wheels looked like they balanced up just fine with a minimal amount of weights.

  14. Hi Jay, glad you found the site. Good luck with the sale of your roadster! Mike
  15. Woot! My yellow 240z was recently featured in the VTO Wheels Customer Spotlight! I was wondering why Alex wanted me to take some photos of the car.. Anyone notice the cat posing for the photo? His name is Mr Banks and will sign autographs. ? Thanks @VTOwheels Mike PS: One correction, I am running Tokico Illumina adjustable struts (it says I am running stock struts). p{ margin:10px 0; padding:0; } table{ border-collapse:collapse; } h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6{ display:block;

Mike came to VTO Wheels because he knew our fitment and customer service is the best in the industry. The VTO Classic 8 GTR 16"x7" wheels gives Mike's Z car a stylish finish, while the deeper lip gives a much more desirable and understated aggressive look. This yellow beauty is sitting on stock struts with Tokico springs that lower the car 1 inch. The VTO's are 0mm offset and wrapped in 205/55-16 BFG G-Force Sport 2 sticky rubber. No rubbing issues are reported, and the ride is said to be smooth and free of vibration. Thank you for your support, and please let VTO help you find the perfect fit for your next project, whatever the year, make, or model may be. Don't know what offset or bolt pattern to run? With us fitment doesn't have to be a guess! We will send you a wheel to test your fitment so you know that when you place an order, the fit will be perfect.

  16. Check out what I just found in my files. This was the original order form that was sent to me from the Franklin Mint. I used one of these to order my model. I have two copies of this set and am willing to send it to the new owner of the Z purchased on BaT (if you don't already have a copy). Just send me a PM.

    Here's a scan of the original sales brochure, marketing letter, and order form for the Franklin Mint Z. I found this among my documents and wanted to share with the club.

  21. In that same box I found my original AM/FM radio.
  22. Update, I found my original door and engine plates in a random box. I did start another post to discuss replacements below. Glad I found these before I purchased new ones. Here's the post I created about buying and creating new plates:

    Absolutely, I have no idea why I put them in such a random location! It must have made sense at the time, I'm sure. @Patcon, sure I could use them. Do you advise rivets over screws? Not sure if screws would clear the door, though.
