AFTER A WASH
the valence's have not been painted yet, but i assure you that when they do get painted, they will be black. I had the body painted to the riginal 918 orange colour. "EricB" I think is his name, broke into my mind and stole my plans for the ultimate zed.

The Fast and The Furious
I HAVE TO ADMIT I JUST WATCHED "2 FAST 2 FURIOUS"ROFL IT WASN'T AS CRAPPY AS I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE THE MITSUBISHI/CHRYSLER THING WAS A LITTLE TO OBVIOUS IS IT JUST ME OR DO MITSUBISHI FUNDED MOVIES ALWAYS HAVE AN AIRBORNE CAR THAT LANDS CONVENIENTLY ON A BOAT? IM NOT BIG ON AMERICAN CARS BUT THE COOLEST CAR AFTER THE SKYLINE HAS TO BE THE YENKO. THERE WHERE VERY SLIGHT HINTS OF A "RICED" UP 350Z BUT THEY DID NOT SHOW THE COMPLETE CAR ONLY SOME VERY CLOSE AND VAGUE SHOTS.

1GENZED commented on HS30-H's comment on a gallery image in 03 (EXCLUSIVE) Nissan Japan Warehouse TourJUST WONDERING, IF THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING WAS TAKEN AS A KEEPSAKE, OR IF IT WAS REMOVED ON PURPOSE. IF SO, WHY REMOVE IT? I LOVE THE HEAVY DUTY AIRCLEANERS. DID THEY ORIGINALLY HAVE THE PLASTIC CAPS OVER THE FRONT STRUT BEARINGS?

1GENZED commented on HS30-H's comment on a gallery image in 03 (EXCLUSIVE) Nissan Japan Warehouse TourI THINK WHAT "GAV" IS TALKING ABOUT, IS THAT THE TURN SIGNALS ARE AMBER. I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THE DOMESTIC MARKET CAR, OR THE JAPAN SPEC CARS HAD CLEAR SIGNALS. I LOVE THE CAR. I PERSONALLY PREFER THE 432'S WITH THE FACTORY/OPTION MAGNESIUM WHEELS. MAYBE THOSE ARE THE OWNERS STREET WHEELS. IF ONE FELL OUT OF THE SKY INTO MY LAP I WOULDNT DARE COMPLAIN. I WOULD BUILD A REPLICA, AND KEEP THE ORIGINAL IN AN ENVIRO CONTROLLED CLEAN ROOM.

"burnt" Orange Back In Style?
I was biking to work this morning and I saw a brand new Xterra parked in my neighborhood. I had to stop because it was the same colour as my Zed 918.It actually looked cool with the gunmetal treatment.:classic:

HI. DO YOU GUYS HAVE ANYMORE INFORMATION ON THESE 4.4L ZED CARS. I WAS WONDERING IF IT WAS JUST AN EXPERIMENT OR DID THE FACTORY ACTUALLY CAMPAIGN IT. I WAS ALSO WONDERING IF YOU GUYS KNOW ANY PRIVATE TEAMS,THAT USED A NISSAN V8 SETUP, IN THE EARLY SEVENTIES. THANKS. AHMED.

Suspension/Drive
HI I have noticed you have rear disk setup with the drum emergency brake. I was wondering how you pulled it off. How long has the project been going for?

Motor Trivia...
IT IS A SINGLE BARREL HITACHI DOWNDRAFT(SP) SETUP FOR THE JAPANESE MARKET ZED'S IT CAME WITH THE L20 ENGINE AND IS SUPPOSED TO BE RARE. SHOWN IS THE EXHAUST AND INTAKE MANIFOLD, THE CARB, AND THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM. THE BLUE PAN/PART AT THE TOP IS PART OF THE AIR BOX. BECAUSE OF THE EGR VALVE I WOULD GUESS IT IS FROM A LATER MODEL ZED. AM I RIGHT.

Questions about airdams
Hi The urethane lower valences are 90% made by XENON (Check out there web site for a pick.) I bought mine from work for $150.00can.I was really surprised with the quality you can litterally just wet sand and then bolt it on I have heard that the middle starts to sag after a while so it should be reinforced with some sort of a bracket. A freind of mine is still painting mine so I am not sure if the sagging is an issue yet. Oh, you have to drill your own mounting holes. I have seen the newer model spoilers, modified to fit the older cars to get rid of the turn signals. IMHO the "BRE spook" style spoiler looks the coolest the only reason I did not go with it is the lower valence on my car was rusted to heck. and it is fiberglass so not as durable as the urethane. Last words adhesion promoter and flex agent are very importent for a durable paint finish. tell me if im mumbling

Crash Blam Kablouy
There was no damage, I am happy to say. The car barely moved a meter for what must have been over a minute.

Crash Blam Kablouy
It all started on one hot and very late summer night. I had just gotten home from a very long shift at work so you have to understand that I was tired as hell, and all I wanted to do was crawl into bed and die. Anyway, I pull up into our drive, and I notice the passenger side window is down. So, I reach over and start winding it up as I look up out of the sunroof, and I think to myself man are the stars beautiful. As I'm starring out the sunroof, I notice a bush slowly creap into view it grows into a branch and then a trunk. Holly S#@T the neighbors massive fifty year old maple is falling over. I start to panic and fumble with the seat belt for what seems like hours. I finally get it released and fall out the door, cursing like theres no tomorrow, just as I hear a big crash. I lay there for a few seconds, reflecting on what just happened. I finally build the courage, to get up and servey the damage. Nothing happened, After I stop criing from laughter. I put the clues together. When I stopped the car I left the emergency brake down and when I was winding the window up I couldn't see out the windows, so the opticle illusion of the steady stars and the car moving made it seem like the tree was falling, and the crash I heard, it was just my car rolling into my neighbors car. This is the funniest thing that has ever happened to me in a car. Well at least from what I can talk about, publicly. Happy holidays Ahmed

I saw a Datsun today!
I LIVE IN TORONTO SO I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT. I HAVE THIS THEORY THAT NISSAN REPLACED ALL THE Z'S WITH ZX'S. I CAN GO FOR MONTH'S WITHOUT SEEING ANOTHER Z, BUT I SEE A ZX ALMOST EVERYDAY. WINTER DOESNT HELP EITHER

Datsun Again!
Nissan already has a luxury brand in North America! Infiniti If Nissan wanted to make a global luxury arm, it would make more sense to use an already established luxury brand. I would also like to see Datsun used as a performance division.

Heater Assembly Interchangability
I decided to gut the interior in my zed, so I could POR 15 everything. Anyway when I took the heater assembly out. I found it was being occupied by mice at one point. Anyway everything was stuffed with grass. and I guess the moisture rotted most of the metal away. I was wondering which years of zed heater assemblies are interchangable. I SHOULD HAVE PROBABLY MENTIONED THAT I HAVE A 1970 240Z WITH NO AIR. I HAVE BEEN SNOOPING AROUND, AND FROM WHAT I HAVE GATHERED THE HEATING IS THE SAME UNTIL 73, CAN ANYBODY CONFIRM THIS. IS THE LATER VACUUM CONTROLLED TYPE SUPERIOR IN DESIGN, IF SO, IS IT COMPATIBLE WITH THE EARLIER SETUP. THANKS
