72 OJ

It never cross my mind to sit beside a car and have people asking questions , but it did. I came to the hobby some 5 yrs ago, 510's , had a super nice 4 dr , for a while till I blew the motor and sold it . Got a time capsule Orange 510 2 dr with period mods and the Z bug bit me. Hunted for a Cali Z for close to a year, then traded two cars for my current Z. She is a "SUPER CAR'' the work done is worth showing her. So I have entered her in local established car shows. My advice, go there with a humble attitude , lost of trailer queens there and cars detailed to the max , yours is just one more. My experience this past spring/ summer was great. yes I washed and wax her for the event but in no way to the level as most in the show. Went to 3 events and Z-VETTE got the attention from the judging panels in these categories : TOP 50 in a show with over 300 cars, Best Import Modified, and Nicest Foreign..............

You want to move to my subdivision or close to my house and take some Z projects.......

Let me share this Happy Z Days ,this spring / summer I attended 3 local established Car Shows, my Z got the attention from the judging panels , she got an award at each show...........

Well I respect your personal opinion , the original knob/stick and steering wheel replacements are very popular mods from day one, I never liked the truck like stick shift( sits to high ) or the skinny steering wheel ( no grip ) we do to them what we like

Mike on post # 46 can you delete the link url, since you merge the info, thanks

The day is getting closer for her hibernation , she will be stored in a facility close to me , just 11 miles away. Hate that I can not enjoy her year round, harsh weather will do severe damage to her sensitive skin...........................:disappoin......

Extra fuses, ........................

This is the proper shift knob for a Japanese Classic Sport Motor Car

On the same topic, I see a lot of nice Z's on this site, from refreshed to total restored examples . Besides the annual Z event , do you take your pride and joy to other gatherings, beyond the local am coffee meet or club meet ..............

I got this one for my old Z and it was very nice :bulb:

That is Vincent Joseph Dooley..................

Almost is almost , the OP ask for help, so I clearly put FWIW on my response , no need to scream my GA Bulldog Fan. BTW the pictures are not at the same scale , that particular knob has the same size as the one that came from Nippon

The Ebay knob is almost identical to the above as per the original OP.......... and 39$ , real wood, no delay plus a perfect fit , BTW the vendor has good feedback

This summer I attended 3 established local car shows and my Z got recognized , there were some super nice rides/multi awards winners and ''Z-VETTE " got the attention from the judging panels. Happy Z Days

There is no insertion/listing fee for a low volume seller( six items in one yr ) , so you can test the waters(for nada 0 $) and you can remove the reserve if item/car gets hot. That will cost 125$ ( for a 5K + item) for a completed transaction.....not bad for the exposure that Ebay gets, if the deal gets sour there are no fees,,,,,,,,,FWIW

Put it on Ebay. With a reserve on it you have control on the auction, FWIW

CHECK this out...........http://www.ebay.com/itm/110965426302?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 My Z has a set and I get tons of complements
