Wondering if there's any updated impressions of the leather seat covers from Interior Innovations? Definitely the time of year to "encourage" a new set of covers into place, just have to make the Big Decision. Thanks for any help with that

Eight teams of Japanese drivers and vintage cars, Nissans and Datsuns mostly, came over from Japan to participate in the crosscountry Hemmings Great Race this week. Cars include a '71 Z432 and '72 240, 510, 2000 Roadsters, Skylines, and a Toyota 2000GT. http://www.greatrace.com/

This listing's a great example of a well-marketed car, supported with loads of photos and a walkaround video. As usual, some details are iffy but the car's a beauty, shows well, and looks to finish in the 20's later today: http://www.ebay.com/itm/400929206786?rmvSB=true Update: Ended at $25,200

The WD-Zed episode is on youtube. Not a great copy, but it'll do for now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8G8s-LwCco

FWIW - Suspension Techniques has a rebate on bars and other components until the end of this month (May 2015): http://www.stsuspensions.com/rebate/

Thanks, John -- your subjective is much more to work with than not getting any response at all, and I appreciate that

For anyone who's had the chance to compare the two, does the Illumina adjustment range make them more livable than Tokico HPs for a mild street-suspension upgrade - or just more expensive? I have access to Illuminas but still haven't seen this settled. Hoping for subjective, seat-of-the-pants input rather than theory, if anyone's spent time with both options. Car has tired KYBs now and is due for attention.

Ohio CL listing for a one-owner 1970 they say has been parked since '74: http://dayton.craigslist.org/cto/5008108733.html

You're among friends here At the same time, that serves well as a bullshit detector on some CL and ebay listings!

Actually the description is a "rotisserie restoration" -- for obvious reasons. Strong showing for an immaculate car with sensible updates and mods though. FWIW, Mecum also had a tidy '72 4-speed cross the block for $8,000 and an '83 ZX auto for $13,000. https://www.mecum.com/lot-detail/SC0515-213475/0/1971-Datsun-240Z/5-Speed/ https://www.mecum.com/lot-detail/SC0515-220031/0/1972-Datsun-240Z/4-Speed/ https://www.mecum.com/lot-detail/SC0515-212876/0/1983-Datsun-280ZX/Automatic/

Great looking RHD example from the Bay Area -- anyone in this group? Seller will sound familiar to some here as well. http://www.petrolicious.com/this-nissan-fairlady-240z-l-is-a-rare-japanese-survivor

This DataDot system looks like a good way to help identify stolen cars and parts - and anything else that might get lost or stolen: http://www.datadotdna.com/us/datadot_cars.php

Sounds like it could be a tricky purchase - from the ad:

FRP in England -- which also stands for "fiber reinforcement polymer" -- is producing complete 240Z body shells made out of the stuff. http://www.frpautomotive.com/frp_240z_shells_clubs.html http://www.frpautomotive.com/frp_price_list_page.html http://japanesenostalgiccar.com/2015/05/13/complete-frp-datsun-240z-body/#more-39841

Here's another healthy sign that Z's and other Japanese classics are earning acceptance from the "purists": http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2015/04/20/japanese-sports-car-class-introduced-to-2015-forest-grove-concours-delegance/ Japanese Sports Cars

Curious to try this stuff from Loctite on interior repairs: "A two-part cyanoacrylate adhesive that sets in seconds and develops tremendous strength with just one drop. The activator primes hard-to-bond surfaces such as polypropylene and polyethylene. Bonds leather, cork, paper, cardboard, wood, chipboard, fabric, metal, ceramic, rubber and plastics such as Plexiglassâ„¢, polycarbonate, polystyrene, PVC, polyethylene and polypropylene" User reviews are mixed, but several people complained the glue hardened in the tube before they got it.
