I have thought about a swap meet for individuals-but I have to find someone to completely oversee it,and to make sure everyone cleans up after themselves. We have a vendor packet for business-and vendors renting space in the carshow can sell clean used and new parts-but must clean up after themselves.

It is tropical and warm-but we didn't wait until August for the Convention-August is when it gets HOT around here! Standard Tourist outfit: Shorts, Short Sleeve Shirt, sandals, boat shoes if you want your toes covered. Light colors will keep you much cooler in the sun! We are working on some "beat the heat" things and Polarized sunglasses as being a part of the goodie bags-samples due in the first of next week! Check us out on Facebook: ZconSavannah Ga

A little more for you... Convention poster Photo of Riverstreet to the left, Talmadge bridge in the middle, the Savannah International Trade and Convention Center and the Westin Savannah Harbor Spa and Golf Resort to the right-you can't see the track, but is is to the left and behind the Westin. Floor plan of the Westin: Large green area-Store and Registration, large Blue area closing banquet. Photo of The Convention Center and the Westin. Floor Plan of the Convention Center we have Hall A and B for the Judged Car Show, and the brown/orange area for the Special Interest vehicles a view of River Street from the bridge end of the River Walk. A map to show where everything is in relation to each other! A) Convention Head Quarters F) ZCCA Judged Car Show G) Peoples Choice-if the field is too damp(the field is normally 20 degrees cooler than the parking lot)! C) The Track! E) The Route the Free Ferry follows every 20 minutes or so to and from Party Central (River Street). Will PS registration is still in the testing phase, as such the website is up but still under construction-but the link to Register at the Westin is open and Working!

I believe you will see improvement there-I saw the lines, and actually gave up the time I had planned to prep my car for the show to help with that very issue. We have a two pronged cure for it, and I think either one could handle that issue. Road Atlanta is almost 300 miles from the Convention Headquarters hotel-I think you are under the mistaken idea that The Georgia Z Club of Atlanta, Ga. is Hosting this years convention-They are not. The Coastal Z Club of Savannah, Ga is hosting this years Convention-and we would love to have you come for a run on the course we are using for the track events-It was designed for Nascar/Indy Lights use, and with the Bucaneer Region of the SCCA setting up and overseeing the track events, you are sure to have some serious and challenging fun!

I will say I have always respected the efforts of those who have gone before us, and now-in the throws of it-I respect them even more... I have volunteered at three of the last four(I didn't make it to Texas because of unexpected surgery) and will actually volunteer more at future conventions because of this experience. I have a couple of clubs who have contacted me to find out what it takes to host-and I gave them front row seats to the process-so once next years is locked in, hopefully there will be a list of clubs waiting for their opportunity to show off their neighborhood, and have 400 or so of their closest Z friends over for a visit! I guess with all of the car shows in the Oregon/Washington area, Motorsport Auto putting on their mutual admiration bash, and a website selling members cars, and the too busy repainting/repackaging Hotwheels trade, no one feels the need bad enough to do the deed!

This is where you get to tell me from the perspective of an S30 owner what ZCON needs/has been lacking. I know that the last several years there have been way too few things in the auctions and store for S30s-Last year there were only two items that were S30 specific-what a crock! That was only because they were all (in terms of S30 items)that were donated-I will approach our sponsors that carry them specifically for S30 goodies-S30 owners need more more interesting stuff in the convention store! One of my pet projects is to create a safe display of early literature in the convention store and at the car show-I have a reasonable collection, and have had the conversation with several other members (whose' collections make mine look anemic) about doing this for several years. What would would you do to even the field?

I am sending you a boat load of luck-no excuses for not bringing them! I am up for a conference call at your meeting... Will pS-the convention has a Pirate theme-and we will be reserving River Street parking for photo ops-giving us both sides of the River!

Should be over the weekend for www.zcon.org, and registration should open right behind the website!

If there were a 240Z entered, I would be voting for that, but this is the only Z, and any Z is better than no Z!

My 240Z is still on a rotisserie waiting to be painted and put back together, and for me to finish Larrys car...

What would be the most welcome change to your Z. if the poll doesn't cover it, post it!

Guys, I know I have been well beyond scarce-and ready to take any and all heat for putting myself in that situation-but I still have my matched NOS originals in the boxes-as pictured at the end of page 42 of my gallery (found here, http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=500&page=41&ppuser=4106 )and on page 43 as well-don't use the viewer it brings up to progress through the images, it does not progress by page, you will need to actually go to page 44.), and if there is anything I can measure, photograph, etc to help with this, let me know. I have one box with the JDM NOS parts in it, and I know exactly where they are. Will

I only had 15 slots to fill, and had them done before I entered the new thread! There is some good stuff in here! some of them I am not familiar with, and a link or an mp3 would be appreciated-thanks JMortensen! Will PS when I refinished my first Z, the 76 2+2 in my album, "Addicted to Love" (Robert Palmer-and those "simply irresistible band members) was on the charts(MTV), and my car was washed with it as often as possible!

Here's what I found, good press release info, video is a roving still.... http://www.autoweek.com/article/20100729/VIDEONEWS/100729818 USA Today http://content.usatoday.com/communities/driveon/post/2010/07/nissan-z-car-owners-headed-to-nashville-for-convention/1 DNJ http://www.dnj.com/article/20100729/BUSINESS/100729033/Nissan-Z-car-owners-headed-to-Nashville-for-convention MotorAge http://motorage.search-autoparts.com/motorage/Industry+News/Yokohamas-tires-highlighted-at-Nissans-Nashville-Z/ArticleStandard/Article/detail/681014?contextCategoryId=43145 AutoTalk http://www.autotalk.com/nissan-z-enthusiasts-gather-in-nashville-for-23rd-annual-z-car-convention-5357/ http://www.earthtimes.org/articles/press/international-z%C3%A2%C2%AE-car-convention,1405526.html http://automotive.speedtv.com/article/vintage-z-fans-partying-in-nashville/ http://online.wsj.com/article/NA_WSJ_PUB:PR-CO-20100730-910405.html Will

Those ZCCA guys Rock! Chris, Chris, Todd, and Bob!

What is your favorite driving music? Please list what I haven't

OK, As soon as I finalize the arrangements, the dates will be announced. as stated above the tentative dates are: July 20-24 or July 27-31 William Stokes Event Chairman 2011 ZCCA international Convention: Savannah, Ga.

According to Chris, I have only one responsibility...get our Local hooters girls into his roo-uh-the convention hotel...he said he'd take over with them from there...Jim said he would make sure Chris knew what to do-and show him, repeatedly if necessary-what a great wing man! Aw man, I almost forgot, I am supposed to stock his room with some local Floridian rum too.

Zcon 2010 was off the hook! The team behind the scenes was hopping to keep everything seamless and did a terrific job, They handled every hickup(free margaritas at happy hour!) with precision and paved the way for convention attendees to get maximum enjoyment! A serious thunderstorm in the wee hours before the car show didn't even cause a delay even though Nissan instructed no cars on the field until after 7am! With out getting into details, these ZCCA guys, Chris Karl, Chris Wenzell, Todd Wagoner, and Bob Bosse have brought the ZCCA back from the brink and pushed it well into the 21st century , in addition to putting on the largest ZCCA convention ever held...from their homes in Ohio, Florida, Virginia, and TX/SC! I can't begin to imagine the effort they put in to making a great convention from hundreds of miles away...but, I am pretty confident they met at Hooters in Nashville to iron out details! Chris picked a hell of a band for the show, not only were they HOTTER than hooters girls, they put on a hell of a concert! I swear that "RedNeck Woman" was written for The Dirty Curties and not for Gretchen Wilson! I saw all of the usual suspects at the convention, added a few more, and because of Mr Carl Beck, got a picture of Me and Mr. Matsuo in front of the Nissan Manufacturing plant in Smyrna TN! Thanks again Carl, You really know how to get to a Z guy! I also figured out what so many have tried to do when it comes to Ron Carter.... To Beat him in a race, you have to pull the car he is driving with a tow vehicle! Notice I said figured it out...we pushed his car out, so he still beat all of us! I did get to tow Less out in the BSR 33 cars...I really need to write Collin a thank you for putting me in that position... Ron graciously saved all of our eardrums in the Nissan Garage by waiting until his BRE racer was outside the garage to start it!

I am going to round up and send BTF/PTM a pair of good Taillight housings... Will

And here I though I had a good answer! http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35002&highlight=perfect+box

She beats a pen and pad for note taking every day-not to mention a built in distraction for point deductions(leather seats not withstanding)!
