me too ...

Wow, that's a VERY nice 240 you have there. Welcome !

I wanna know why his shadow looks like a skinny Michelan-man...

No more pics sorry... I dislike the front and rear spoilers, but I think the headlights have been done quite well considering the owner obviously wanted the car to look modern...

You'd better believe it...

Here's anotehr one :

That sounds quite interesting actually.... pics?

He might be referring to the mailing list... http://www.240z.org/mailman/listinfo/list

Escanlon I dont think he actually used a stop watch to time it at precisely 3 seconds...

Z - The Ultimate. Or something.......... why dont you check out some old ads for the Z - surely Datsun came up with a good slogan

grrrrr stupid americans and your northern hemisphere..... I'll finish in 6 months

Fat ladies can waltz, but sexy ladies tango ok ok enough of the analogies

How about "International Z Club" I dont think you *need* to specify that we're only about the early stuff...

I feel it should have some sort of reference to the Internet, as we really are unique in that sense. "Internet 240z Club" doesn't sound too good IMO however, but as Doehring said "Classic Z Club.com" or "Classic Z car Club.com" are good alternatives... Worth a thought

I understand that they all use the same engine? Is that true? Also, what about mechanics (e.g. gearbox)?? I'm looking for a parts car atm and I've found a couple, but there are plenty of cheap 240C's around and I was wondering how the parts interchange...

Haha ! It's my Z's first award! www.motorcities.com - My car got car of the week! hooray!

Mmmm yes, they do look quite distinctive... Kinda like you bought a muffler and then you realised you didnt have room to put it "normally" so you just whacked it on like that. Can't say I'd have it (unless it was a 432 of course ) on my Z, but it certainly adds to the character of your car...

It is indeed a 432! I now have a red one, a silver one and this yellow one. The beauty of this game is that the cars dont cost you anything to buy, and once you've reached a certain level of credits (which you win by winning races) you can choose a level of tuning for most cars - either normal, light, medium, heavy or race - for free! The Z only goes up to heavy but there are many other things to play around with including camber, front:rear braking force, ride height and gear ratios! And yeah I was going to ask about the double exhaust pipes... they look quite odd. Do they look any LESS odd in real life?

Like I said, I've never seen it in any shop...

...And the back!

It's a reasonably accurate model, for how old the game is. A few things are just blatantly wrong but all in all it's a good fun drive - especially if you tune it up to "heavy"...

Couple of screenshots of my newly acquired yellow Z

Good on ya 8000kms isn't much though... how do they check btw?

Genuine replica??? Now if that aint an oxymoron.... The only way you'll get a genuine ZG is if you buy a genuine ZG, like Alan did. Perhaps you didn't realise that these "bodykits" if you like were available straight from the factory. I'm sure Alan could explain the ins and outs of the stock ZG stuff in another small novel if you'd like hehe
