72 OJ

Yep, PANASPORTS complement the S30 to a T, my Z has them

I was in the same boat not long ago, not an engineer but with a grad degree in Psychology. Age is a factor in today's tight employment market, I now work as a legal/medical interpreter and flip odd watches on Ebay.As mention above turn a hobby and a natural talent in your favor. Good luck and do not panic .

I think it is a neat Z, likes the euro tail lights, front naked bumper, pwr windows/locks. Do not see the A/C as in the post. Room to negotiate , some one is going to score a nice rare Z

check this 77,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Original-1977-Datsun-Fairlady-Z-/221080511026?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item33796ce232#ht_500wt_1093

Last night , after the happy hour thing, went home, had some java. A fem give a call and I obey to her call, on the way there I did some spirited driving , RT 108 has some nice twistys . This morning I see a large pee spot and low on coolant, got a new radiator cap, back to normality

Hey, guys I just got back from a local happy hour thing, I swear on my way there ,I stop at the 7-11 for cigs and a well dressed guy comes to me and says ''nice Z ''. Then while parking I get a '' super clean 240 ''from a guy getting out of a very nice BMW. Had the mandatory Mojitos, and when I pulled to my driveway ,my neighbor's visitor shouts '' tight Datsun''.......................

When Dave the PO, built this car I was there wrenching , his money then my mula now.......................well he farm some of the work

PUTUS INVIDIA........................................the poll read it , do the math....................................... Gary in NJ and 5th let me come down to your local Tin gathering, and lets see who's Z gets the WOW, UUUUU, AAAHHH

hls30.com you must be related to EScanlon,,,,, if you use a quote please use it as intended and not just select parts of it to misinformed , MY seduction was to the beauty of the car's condition ,its preservation, its provenance and yes the updated drive train. SHE IS ALL ''Z'' with an ATTITUDE.

5th, please put on your eye glasses, so you can see what it is.

So for many this is not a Z ( click on picture)

William,,,,You mention essence,the properties of what makes the Z that I own what it is, she began her life as the pride and joy of the first owner, then a few years later , she became an executive's play toy in Car Land California. That executive move East, she rested in all her beauty for some time, then came a dreamer and found her,she growl to him. He became the new master of this fine feline and transformed her into a wild but seductive beast. Then she again went dormant, I came in to her path and fell in love, that big red heart that pulses her seduced me, she growl to me and I took her home.

Mike...........all set for the Z meet on Sunday, a case of white Belgica brew, a set of new pads for Z-VETTE,plus a visit to a local MD crab by the bay dive

in the hunt for a ''TORDYMOBILE'' not a turdmobile, a 240 Z BEATER..............this pinkish 83 is a GRAN MOJON LOLLOL

you can take this pink ride.......I will pass on this turd mobile

5th, no body twistie, keep in mind that the LS1 is a good 70lb's lighter than the iron L engine, she has a custom/welded/steel frame rails front to back , the former PO did lots of track days at Summit Point WV, and there is no evidence of abuse or stuff falling off, she is solid and can win a beauty pageant with just a shower ........back to the subject,,, the attributes,nature,heart and soul of a Z my current Z has it.

............

for stock mirrors panel must be remove,in order to bolt in or out, after market some do , some don't, other choice drill holes on the out side of the door for universal type side mirrors

This thread is on,,,,What makes a Z a Z............................................................................................

Mr.K ( the Dad of the 510 and the Z ) the man behind and in front of the S30 marketing,so the term '' his creation'' is my interpretation

Arne,,,I also agree,,,,but on the same token,personality can change for some reason or other and characters are strengthen ,,,,,,let me add , the so called personality/character of my v8 Z has not change , she has the same look as any well kept Z, the original interior enhance by modern seats and full carpet,she retains all original working gauges, her original electric harness only has five adapters to the LS1 electronics,she now has better brakes, a balance suspension, and an ATTITUDE,,,

No offense intended, but this marvel of a car will not gain the status of an exotic, so if a Z owner wants to'' personalize'' it so what......ten yrs from now an AMX or a Cougar Eliminator will be worth more than Z with OE hub caps.

Julio, I am of the same vintage,DOB 1953,,,,,,,Your silver Z in many ways mirrors mine. If we are at a Tin car gathering , both car detail to the max, both hood open, the UZZ, AHH, WOW..... goes to what car ?

Yes,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, and the mods must be done professional and details galore in the built, to keep the Z-Factor
