very cool - thanks for the write up -e

What rear end do S13 240SX's have? Is it an R200? It looks more compact and the bolt arrangement for the mustache bar seems to be setup differently... won't work on our cars? curious... -e

send them to me at hybrid_egb@hotmail.com did you look through my gallery for pics of my car? it's the orange one with black hood, black overfenders... let me know if you want more detailed pics of them... -e

i'm wagering they are 15" as well...

FYI i'm waiting to get a better detailed picture from the seller... if i like them more than my set then mine would be up for sale. FYI I have 15x8.5 front and 15x9 rear with some very nice and still quite nice Advan A048 rubber (I think they're A048...)

wow - this seller has some awesome stuff... time to call the friends in japan and hopefully call in a favor!

Hey Gav what's the catch with the RockyAUto fender flare kit??? 89000yen for the set of 4? seems kinds steep no? when the first pick came up I mistakenly thought they were selling one of their demo cars?!?!?!

did you see the other stuff for sale? the leather trimmed C110 dash looks pretty cool I think.... -e

6yrs old... 9 yrs old... 16yrs old... damn... i was 5yrs away from being conceived! My 73 240 is two years my senior. Actually all three of our old cars are older than my wife and I... just the way we like it actually... -e

Kats... ahahah your kid is funny... if he keeps watering his car maybe it will turn into a Z?! -e

A good idea??!!???!!??! An absolute must if you ask me. -e

If it wasn't clear before I don't care about the maker of the hub... It's got to be able to take a steering wheel with a Nardi bolt pattern though - that's the only requirement... -e

I've got a Nardi hub marked "N6" which I thought would fit the Z - unfortunately the opening for the steering shaft is too small... There's plenty of hubs available for more modern Nissans, but does anyone know with which cars our 240Zs share steering shaft diameters/splines? 240SX? 300ZX? Thanks, -e

i love the unloading of the first box - how cool that must have been! -e

Thank you Kats - the videos look wonderful! -e

wow - nice find.

Ok so I just heard back from Kinokuniya Bookstore regarding the Best Motoring Video Special #56 (Fairlady Z Special) The VHS is no longer available - only the Zone 2 DVD is. In Japan it retails for 2500yen ($20) but they will charge you roughly $40 to get it here (basically they double Japanese retail price to account for shipping, etc...). Being unsure that my DVD player will play Zone2 I have to pass which bums me out. But if someone wants it, you can call Kumiko at the downtown LosAngeles store at 213 687 4221 & she can order it for you. For the guys that aren't local I'm sure they can also ship it to your address. -e

Hey Chris did you actually see the Fairlady Z Best Motoring Video Special #56 DVD in your hands? Did you check to see if it was a region encoded DVD (I think Japan is Zone 2 or Zone 3) or if it is region free? As for ordering it, I went to my local Kinokuniya Bookstore (there's one in LA, one in SanFran, and other places too including I think the East Coast) with a printout from the Japanese Best Motoring website of what I wanted and requested they order me a copy. It can take about a month to arrive if it's still available as I think they send them by boat from Japan... I refer to the JAPANESE BestMotoring website because there's a recently created BestMotoring International which is dubbed into English but by the same people that do the English dub of the culinary show IRON CHEF!!! And clearly these people are not car guys because they keep referring to the KPGC10 Skyline GT-R as the "Ha-Koo-Soo-Ka" which just kills it for me... I mean how complicated is it to first listen to the Japanese pronunciation of Hak-o-ss-ka & then repeat it??? Sorry if i'm a little pissy this AM I woke up to find some jackass had broken into one of our old cars last night. It isn't so much that they stole the radio out of the Karmann Ghia that bothers me so it's that they didn't bother first checking to see if the doors were locked before they went ahead and broke the passenger quarter glass... the driver door's never locked because the lock's broken... so pissed.... -e

hard to say... a sentra perhaps? (modern day bluebird) -e

ok fine here goes, go here: http://www.osgiken.co.jp/tc16/tc16-story1.html (it's the japanese side of their website & go to the bottom right of the page, see how there's a link to a 2.6Mb PDF file down there? that's it!) -e

Hey Lance I saw a very similar airbox for sale by the folks at TWM up in the Santa Barbara area - I haven't had much luck in the past with getting friendly people on the phone in the past but maybe that's changed or can be overlooked... http://www.twminduction.com/airbox.htm -e

Maybe we collectively blew up their bandwidth Chris? -e
