After qualifying 3rd and tangling with a Honda in the EP race, Greg Ira added a 3rd-place finish to his SCCA Runoffs portfolio and put a Datsun on the stand once again (photo borrowed from Dave Patten/FutoFab) http://cdn.growassets.net/user_files/scca/downloads/000/018/014/EP_Runoffs2016_Race_Provisional.pdf?1474659180 http://www.scca.com/events/1980938-2016-scca-runoffs-presented-by-garmin-virb

Those are great looking seats! I'm wondering if the metal vents higher up the seat back will cause problems for you when they've been sitting in the sun awhile. Keep us posted.

No worries -- here's the whole fukung set

The Great Race came through Reno yesterday -- 3 Z's present and accounted for Dave Perdue posted some good images on the Northern Nevada Z Car Club FB page also:

Not all-season but adding this 14" to the discussion: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Dunlop&tireModel=Direzza+ZII+Star+Spec&sidewall=Blackwall&partnum=86HR4Z2SS&tab=Sizes

It's not like there isn't Italian influence in the Z design . . .

Did a double-take when I first saw this Road & Track photo of the new Fiat/Miata/Fiata. Seems vaguely familiar -- maybe they should develop a fastback?! http://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/first-drives/news/a29486/fiat-124-qa-review/

Something different — Here's an LA craigslist ad for what is claimed to be the original pace car from the 1982 Caesar's Palace Formula 1 race: http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lgb/cto/5600483262.html

Three S30's are among entries in this year's Great Race which begins from San Rafael, CA on June 18. According to the event site, these include cars brought from Japan as part of a 5-car contingent specifically to participate in the crosscountry rally.

Since they got the TBI setup for free, it's probably a "cooperative" relationship with Jenvey that helped them make the decision to toss the carbs. Their site doesn't show the Z setup but they're sending me more info which I'll pass along.

Like a Brit Overhaulin'-meets-Wheeler-Dealer TV show, this episode rescues a Z:

Better than Starbucks!

No Z's in this portrait but all in the family nonetheless

John Coffey referenced this purpose-built '73 in several posts -- here's a video taste: http://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/classic-cars/videos/a29112/1973-datsun-240z-peking-to-paris/
