Close encounter of the second kind! (350Z)
TOO RIGHT 26OUNCE !!! Biker, I will give my thumbs up to any Z driver, PROVIDING they look at me. That tells me they know what I'm driving I will not toot at anyone though, unless they are an early Z driver. I will follow them for as long as it takes before they acknowledge me. I get so excited when I see one on the road

Bolt On Flares to suit 240z
Flares you'll find easily, perhaps not second hand but new I'm sure you'd be able to find somewhere. As for Watanabes... search the forum for old topics about these great wheels. New from Watanabe Japan is around $400 each plus $400 shipping I think the general concensus was. Very hard to find in Australia............

Early 2+2's
Well the bottom badge says "Fairlady Z". The top one seems to be a red white and blue (French version!!) rectangle with characters in the red and blue parts. "2 2" perhaps ? I'll scan it in as well as the picture inside the mag for you if you like- just post your email address.

Black. Don't forget the fender mirrors, Fairlady badges, or front and rear grey bumpers! Also, you might want to try to find a short Japanese girl who has no problem wearing a yellow school-girl outfit (shouldn't be hard!). That'd be an awesome replica car, but you would have to explain it a lot...

Close encounter of the second kind! (350Z)
Well, I saw my first glimpse at a 350Z driver today. Saw this car at Uni once, but today I saw it driving! I followed it for a while, until I was side by side at a traffic light. I looked over, and there was this 20-30 year old with glasses and a bit of a tough guy look, staring straight ahead. Hhmmph! I kept looking, waiting for him to turn around so I could give him the thumbs up, but to no avail. As he quietly hummed off around a corner and under a bridge, I felt it was time to go home. :mad: 350Z Driver Type 1: Young businessman who desperately wants to look cool, and knows absolutely nothing about the history of the Z (See also 300ZX Driver type 4, 1989). Who else can add to this list?

Ah, a GTX. You won't get any closer to a GT-R than that!!!

1973 KPGC110 "Ken&Mary" Skyline for sale $4500
I'm a little confused... I dont know if the GT's are any different but the GL's are KHGC. I think the 4 door model is KGC? I doubt very much that this is indeed a KPGC110 as there are half a dozen things unique to the GT-R which this car doesnt have (I have been researching for my own). The main ones are the rear tail lights, front grille, vent badges, interior panels (they're brushed aluminium or something similar on a GT-R) ... but it does have flares! An H looks awfully similar to a P though doesnt it ....................... If I was in America I would have to seriously consider it, well, assuming I had a free $4500 lying around. Someone buy it, quick! I dont like being an outcast here... I'll feel quite out of place when the Z goes, and if there's no one to reassure me I might find myself crying myself to sleep every night...

1973 KPGC110 "Ken&Mary" Skyline for sale $4500
I honestly don't know!! Maybe it was when they pushed it around, but it would be a bitch to get up that entrance! Seems that way, as it seems strange to take pictures of the car in such a position. I'm guessing that was where they rested it while they had a smoko, then got back to work to make the final big push up the hill. Sorry I can't help you more than make predictions based solely on my imagination!

1973 KPGC110 "Ken&Mary" Skyline for sale $4500
Too bad it's not a GT-R.. still I wouldn't mind having it!! Certainly would go, and the exterior seems to be in reasonably good nick. Am I right in saying America never got the C110 cars? I've attached 2 more images of this car that were probably taken when it was running. Don't ask me how I got them......

New 350Z - old 240Z story !
The TT couldn't be any more different to the Elise. The price bracket they are in is about the only thing they have in common... As for Audi S4... mmmmm

It's obvious he didn't want a Porsche. He wanted a Porsche AND a Corvette. So why not both? :sick:

Early 2+2's
Strangely enough, a lot of newer imports are also "1993 car first registered in 1995" or something. Maybe investigating down this path may lead to some explanations? Maybe it was held back by Nissan for a bit of internal testing or something? Did Nissan ever do this kind of thing (Alan!)? I have that 1974 Motor Manual magazine, I have attached a scan of hte front cover of it for interest's sake. And before you ask, the article about it really isn't very good. Maybe 100 words saying what it is, and that it will be "ready for early 1974".

Insurance- Just got it!
My insurance is around $330 a year, comprehensive. I was totally stoked by the quote, the only problem being it has a maximum value of hte market value - being $5500 I think. When I tried to get a quote for the 240K I found it much more expensive (like almost $2000). Ridiculous, so I have to put up with Fire & Theft only until 2004 when it should go down. As for Shannons etc. that's great if you're over a certain age but useless if you're younger than that. What I find stupid for most big companies you can only have an agreed value if your car is under 10 years old. WHAT THE? Certainly the value of cars older than that would vary more??? Who knows, certainly not the telephone guy on the other end of the phone when I wanted an explaination Can't wait until I'm old enough for insurance companies to treat me like a person...

VIN/Engine number discrepancies
I think the thing wehave to prove here is the "1973" stamp. Like Alan said, how do you know it's a 1973?
