Zrush

Beautiful car, however I don't see any stickers in the quarter glass. Maybe the previous owner took them off. The radio looks after-market and what's that red band on the shifter? Still looks to be a nice Z. Vicky

Hi Kyle Unrelated to your post but I gotta ask........What's the color of the Z in your avatar? Man, that's a nice looking car. Vicky

Anyone ever try Banzi Motorworks at www.zzxdatsun.com Vicky

Funny, when I'm watching a movie or TV show from the 70's, I find myself loosing track of the show just to spot a Z car. :laugh: I yell for my husband, "Scott come here, I just saw a Z". Then we sit there for the next hour or so trying to see the Z again. :cheeky: Vicky

I've just recently started to see a few programs dedicated to this type of Japanese racing called "JGTC". I heard that this Japanese racing will be making it's US debut at the California Speedway on December 18th & 19th of this year. Along with other auto manufacturers, the big three are Nissan with the 350Z, Toyota with the Supra and Honda with their top of the line race car, don't know the name, NRX (?). Anyway, I know we don't dicuss the 350Z here but from what I been watching that's the car to beat. Anyone know more about this type to Japanese racing that's soon to come to America. I'm very interested and would love to know more. Vicky

Ditto! Thanks much Enrique Vicky

Funky!!! I do like the rear hatch conversion to a pantera style window. Never seen that modification before. Very.........different Vicky

Bad shape, good shape we don't care (at least I don't). I love to look at Z's in all stages of life. Vicky

That's what I was thinking also :cheeky: I too would like to see some pictures. We love pictures here. Vicky

What would be the cause of the wipers remaining up on the windshield when you turn them off? This is in a 77 280Z. Is it a simple fix? Vicky

Like injecting cancer into a body that already has cancer cells present. My father-in-laws' original 72 240Z had the little Zbart sticker on the window. If memory serves me right, it was a pictire of a Knights Helmet. Seventies were a blurr :stupid: Vicky

Did they put Zbart in the engine bay of cars? I thought Zbart was an undercoating. Also, wasn't it determined that Zbart added to the deterioration of metal. That's a very nice Z. Vicky

Hey Michael, 1) They ARE Nissan "Authorized" vehicles (Factory IS the wrong word) 2) I meant to say specifications but probably should't have put "much better" in front of that word, rather "NISSAN specifications" would have been better, my bad, sorry. 3) No apology necessary, I didn't feel insulted. I've been called a "rice burner" before....now that hurt Friends now Vicky

And to think that this thread was started by some gentleman who's so proud and excited to have purchased a "Vintage Z" I suppose we could all debate about the term "Vintage" as all of our Z's are technically a vintage vehicle, no? Running for cover now................... Vicky

Was I being a "Arrogant American" Sure didn't mean to be, sorry if you took it that way. Hey wasn't that a movie "The Arrogant American", no it was the "The Ugly American". I hope I'm neither Vicky

Gosh, what was I thinking I'm not going to get into a "war of the words" over these cars. Thanks ChrisA for understanding what I meant. I have no scanner so that's out. This particular checklist was on a website and available for download awhile back. I will try and find it so others can see the process and detail. Vicky

This is a great question that can only be answered by opinions I believe. Even though I own a NMC Vintage Z I would think that an "all orginal unrestored historically correct S30" would be of more value but not by much. This unrestored Z would have to be just as if it had been in a time capsule. Absolutely perfect. The value would be that it has been "preserved" and well maintained. The Vintage Z would be hard to beat as I believe, and this is just my opinion, that these cars have been "re-assembled" to much better specifications. I have a inch thick manual called the "240Z Restoration Program Quality Control Checklist" that is simply amazing. The detail is beyond belief on what each one of thes cars went through. This manual should be the standard for which all fine automobiles are restored. Vicky

Hey, I resent that statement. I'm a wife and I drive a Z Vicky

Looks like a crack pipe to me, at least the kind you see on "Cops" NO!!! I don't do crack so don't say "how would you know". The only addiction I have is "Z Fever" Buuaaahaha. Vicky

1970 LS6 454 bb is a beautiful thing. Friend had an all numbers matching one ,sold it for $46K. Man the Chevelle was perfect and the engine was just music to the ears Vicky

You know alot!! It was in the "ricer" section of a performance catalog I just can't imagine that people would fall for such a line. But I quess if you'll bolt a park bench on your rear hatch you'll pay $160 for 4 plug wires for that 2 hp gain. Vicky
