What was it like to meet Mr.K, Mr. Matsuo, and Katayama-san?
Because it was taken with a regular camera. I don't have a scanner, but my father-in-law does. Maybe I can get him to scan it for me and I'll upload it later on.:classic: Great story Ben!!! Vicky

Scott and I were lucky enough to meet and speak with Mr K and his "posse" in New Hampshire last year. He confirmed the japanese writing under the hood of the 77 280Z did say "DATSUN". I have a treasured pictue of Mr. K, Scott, me and the 280Z together. Can't wait for your write-up Ben:classic: Vicky

Me and old Rusty.
Hi Bill. At least it's not so rusty that when you sit in it, you go right through the floor boards. Your 16, you look like your 20!

Euro spec rear lights
I'm married Bill, that doesn't work much anymoreROFL . Scott says that Z is DONE. The only changes/add ons will be to the engine. That area of any car is never done IMO. Vicky

Your opinion on this front air dam (sweet)
Well, I'm going to go against the grain here and say I like it. But 160 pounds does seem quite heavy. You'd really have to be careful with that air dam. Could do alot of curb surfing with that one. It is kind of "in your face". Just my .02 Vicky

Euro spec rear lights
That's a great price Wes. I cannot convince my husband to change the lights on the '77 280Z or else I might be interested. Oh well. Vicky

Z on Ebay
I used to think that was the car "sweating". My 1978 280Z did the same thing after a good drive, especially on the driver's side from the exhaust manifold. I've been told by the knowledgable folks here that wasn't the cause of the dampness. Never really did get a straight answer. Anybody? Anybody? (BuellerLOL ) Vicky

Cutting spring coil
What's the difference between lowering springs and just cutting the stock springs? (Other than....the lowering springs you have to go out and buy and the stock springs are already yours). Are lowering springs stronger/stiffer. Very interesting thread IMO Vicky
-
Z on Ebay
"Very rare passenger side mirror". Engine bay area is a mess IMO. Never was a fan of all red interior in any car, nor do I care for a white car. I like the hubcaps, that's about it.

trivia
Not so much car guys, but automakers. I owned a 78 Trans Am and on the hood-scoop it said 6.6 litres. I've seen early 70's models T/A's with 400 c.i. on the scoop. Early Boss 302's are now 5.0's. I'm kind of thinking it was when the US tried using the metric system in the 70's, no? Vicky

Forgive me father for I have sinned.
Will You understand that I was being a smart azz, right? I wasn't suggesting he do that, quite the opposite. But as the thread started out. "It's your car do what you want". Just leave off the spinners. What else are these ricer manufacturers going to come up with next? Wait, I know, the neon lit steering wheel Vicky

I was wondering.
Both. During the week it's more from work because that's where I spend my days. Weekends, obviously, is from home. Like now I'm at work and should be working, but I'm completing a poll about where I log on more often, work or home. Vicious circle this web site isLOL Vicky

The exact amount IMO is................NOT ENOUGH. Zhome.com has the answer but I'm at work and really shouldn't be this involved on the web. Just can't stay away from this site. (Hey that should be a poll! How many folks log on here while at work) Vicky

Something to think about.
Already gave away a 1978 280Z a couple weeks ago. Hold on, hold on, it was a major rust bucket and IMO was beyond restoration, plus I have no more garage space. But I will find room for my next baby....an original Scarab by Brian Morrow. Ah... to dream Vicky

Happy to hear that Bill. Glad he pulled through. Now you can concentrate on fixing up those Z's out backLOL Vicky

Useless info.
No Hair types will tell you that they're more stealthy. Less hair means less drag, hence faster speeds, leading to more tickets and finally being dropped by your insurance company. Vicky
