Is this still a "Z" site??
Before I was a old Z purest. Even more was the fact that I only was really interested in the Fairlady Z's. Now I have come to appreciate the home cars and the exports. (I sound like I am confessing or something..)The more interested I am in the first generation z cars the more I am interested in other Datsun cars of the day. I love the lines of the 510 even if they are not there. As far as this not being a Z site. I think it is 85% Zcar and 15% other stuff. Other stuff is not all Nissan/Datsun either. But as far as a forum goes this one is my favorite. The people are helpful and the cool thing is that we are all enthusiasts. If I were ever to own a non-Zcar by Nissan/Datsun I would like to own a Nissan Skyine(kpgc10). Yeah me and million other people on this forum. hehehhe. They are beautiful. Keep this non-Zcar forum going. If it wasn't for that I may have not learned about the skylines, 510's, etc.. -Ben

Modified 240Z pics
Nice car. Are the side mirrors that you have on your Zed the sebring style? I love the flares. What width wheels are you running front and back? Take care and don't do too many burn outs. -Ben

Nice brembo's. I have seen a few Z's witht these Porsche brakes. It looks good and no matter what the drivetrain or weather conditions, a zcar with these brakes will stop on a dime. Great car. Nice pic.

Painted bodyshell
I was just wondering if you were going to paint the hood black. Do all 432-r's have a black hood? Was the 432 and the 432-r availible with the same standard colors as the Fairlady Z and Fairlady 240z? Thanks a lot. Your car is going to be a beaut with those rally wheels. Hehehehe, you should have the extra two stacked on top of each other in the boot like a rally car. J/k. Take care. -Ben

Nice work Alan. Your car is definately going to be a beaut when it is done. May I ask what that Z is in the background. It looks like a ZG. Thanks.

Tomica 1973 rally winner
I just started collecting these little Tomica cars; only the Z's though. Tomica is to Japan what Matchbox is to the US.

Konig Rewinds
The suggested retail price is 115USD per wheel. I would love to see a picture of a Z with these wheels. They seem like they would fit perfect. They look great on an AE86. -Ben http://ggtyler.com/TechnoToyTuning/konigrewind2

sr20det at Zs by the Bay 2003
At least he is keeping it in the family. Anyways, I am sure it is still a pleasure to drive. Course with prolly between 250-350 horsepower who wouldn't be happy. Me personally, would stick with a well tuned L-series or to be insane I would put in a RB26DET. Take it easy. -Ben

Watanabe wheels for 260z
Thanks guys. I feel a little dumb because I am interested in purchasing a set of wheels in the near future, but all I know is that the pcd has to be 114.3 by 4. Here is a newbie question. To get that dish look, what width, diameter, offset, and backspacing should I look for? I do not want to flare or install spacers. Thanks again. Sorry, I know I have been bugging everyone about wats. :stupid: Here is a pic of the deep dish look that I am going for. I would like those wheels too. http://www.rs-watanabe.co.jp/images/users_photo/z_gin.jpg

Watanabe wheels for 260z
I know. I am looking at them and the more I look at them the more I don't like them. I would like that dish look too. Thanks for reafirming that.

Konig Rewinds
I believe they still make these wheels. I went to the konig website a while back and it seemed like they were easy to come by. Have you checked your local konig distributer? I really like those wheels too. They look more Japanese than the panasports. -Ben

Watanabe wheels for 260z
I have been looking for some natural finished Watanabe's for my 260z. I wanted 15 by 7j. How would these fit on my car? Would the tires stick out of the wheel wells? Do I have to get special lugnuts for them? If so, how hard are the lugs to find. Thank you. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=43955&item=2426679735 -Ben

What's your favorite part of the site?
This is a great forum. Before I joined I would always look at the pictures. I still do that even if I have looked at the pictures over and over. However, the forum is in my opinion the strongest point of this site because whenever I needed answers the other members were prompt and very helpful due to their vast knowledge about these cars we all share a passion for. Keep up the good work everyone. -Ben

thoughts on my new idea :)
Hey Ozzy, if you look in my gallery you will see a 240 with an SR20det. I don't know much about the engine, but I saw a 510 with 0ne of these motors and I think it was pumping about 310 hp at the flywheel with no internal mods. Just a acu, turbo, and exhaust. The only problem I have with the SR20det is that there is so much wasted room under the Z bonnet. Just get a 3.1 L-series with triple mikuni's. You could get 300hp easy with that engine and there would be little to none fabrication to make the engine fit. Good luck with your car. -Ben

nice g nose
The nose that was on this one looked to be a motorsport kit. If so this nose costs 750USD and that is without the light covers. The light covers are 400USD extra. I think this car looks good, but if I did it I would have painted the front bumper a very dark grey to simulate the urethane. -Ben

Zs by the Bay
I don't have much info about this car, but I was under the influence that it was a normal 510 with bluebird SSS tail lights. I guess it isn't too normal since it has an sr20det. nice car. I hope I helped. -Ben
