I thought that was Leguna Seca. Thanks for the confirmation! -
Hi everyone, Gavin mentioned that there was a Z in "Herbie goes to Monte Carlo" and last night I was watching the movie as I have not seen it in years. The Herbie movies were my favorite movies to watch when I was about 5-10yrs old. I was so excited when I saw the Z. I put the movie on pause and here is a picture of it. Besides the Z, there were some pretty serious race cars in that movie. It was not just botched together. A few of the cars are listed here: 2- Lancia Stratos's. The red one had the original wheels and the dark blue one had the works rally wheels. Porsche 911 RSR Ford Pantera Ferrari 365gtb Ferrari 365 Daytona ...and many more that I missed. Does anyone have information on the Z from this movie? Was it a famous race car in the 70's? Ben

Is this the same mirror? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7979381296&category=33649

you can use the stock drivers mirror and turn the mirror part around. I have not done this, but I have seen it done and it looks like it should have come that way. -Ben

Thanks David for the slide show. It was great. I was surprized to see my car in there multiple times. Thank you for that. It was a great convention. -Ben

There are many wheel options for these cars that do not require spacers or adapters. Have you looked into revolution wheels? They are a dished 5-spoke wheel. I am not sure how hard it would be to find a set of these, but I do know that they are still made in England. MSA sells them, but I don't think they are the ones exactly like these on the links. good luck with finding a nice set of wheels. -Ben http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=1180 http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=1067

I would recommend the one piece version as I feel that it looks better and it is more traditional. Also, the one piece version was a factory option. The three piece spoiler that I am thinking of was not. I am pretty sure that the spoilers on Fairlady Z's and export Z's came either painted body color or gunmetal grey (matching the tail light panel). I am looking for one of these spoiler's for my car and I am going to paint it gunmetal grey with a gloss coat as I believe that is as close to original as I can come. Good luck with your ZG coversion and keep us posted on your progress. -Ben

No this is in the same town that the Blackhawk Datsun/Nissan show was held at- Danville. This was after the show. -
They are 16". I think they look too big as well. I think 14's look best, but the 15's still look good. 16" panasports were very popular at this show. -
It was definately a home-market car. Check out the interior. -
Ron said I was going to get a ride, but he seemed busy all day so I didn't push. I will get a ride some time. I am in no rush. It sounds so good though. It is the loudest Z I have ever heard. it sounds great. I would love see and hear it on a track. -Ben -
This is the Roadster that was in the July 2005 Sport Compact Car magazine. It was a very nice car BTW. The swap was super clean. -
Only on a Roadster... I like MG's, but I like this sticker too. -
My Dad and I went for lunch and when we came out these cars were parked next to my 260z. What a great shot. 2 Ferrari 360 Spiders, an Acura NSX, and an S30. What could be more beautiful??? Me not in the picture I guess. I had to mess up everyones wallpaper. Damn, and I don't have one minus the monkey.

Okay, it's not Z related. It was parked right outside the Z corral and it was with a equally beautiful 61' Corvette. -

This is car is unbelievable. It is has a very sexy sound. -
I would have thought that this car would have been equiped with a rally "calender" clock as it was a 74'. The clock was working and there was no oscillating box to be seen in the glove box. -

The switches on the far right are for parking. they turn on the parking lights of either side of the car while parking, depending on what side of the road you are on. -
This is just great. If anyone could bring more light to this, it would be most appreciated. -
Can anyone identify these velocity stacks? They are very interesting and I have never seen these exact ones before. Some of the rally works Z's had similar ones with the mesh screens, but they seemed to be more of a cone than these. -
