Take a pic with your Z? It's halfway right now... Totality happens at 8pm PST... FYI -e

Trust = GReddy It's the same company... GReddy is a more recent name that's all... I've actually heard the Trust header is not so hot on the Zs... My $0.02 -e

BTW I just got my harness in the mail and I wanted to tell you all still on the fence that it looks fantastic - very professionally put together... if the rain ever lets up (ha someone from LA complaining about rain!! then I'll put mine in... -e

Guys, I just got a reply from the seller of the Skyline... apparently it didn't sell yet after all... >From: Brian Galloway ss427bb@hotmail.com >Sent*:*Saturday*October*16*2004*1:27*AM >Subject*:* Question from eBay Member > >Car is still for sale..

Ben If you look through the gallery with "240ZR" you'll see pics of it come up - factory prep'ed ZG run by SCCN (Sports Car Club Nipon - if I'm not mistaken) -e

Weird, Ben, you would have thought the seller of the Skyline would have put that in his post, saying something like "you've all already seen the car since it was at the Natl Z meet...." Anyways I wonder if whoever bought it (providing he does get it and it is in decent shape) comes forward and drives it around... it would be a shame if it went underground again... would love to see it around at the local events or on the local back roads around here on some lazy weekend afternoon...

Alan, In your post you said some 432 bodies received LR24s late in their life. Are these smaller displacement versions of the LY cross-flow, or are they something else? And when you say that propelled the 432 into yet another class of competition can you elaborate as to who the Zs went up against then? I've seen plenty of old pictures from Fisco and so on of 432s sharing the track with so much more exotic purpose built but I had always assumed that it was merely a case of several groups running at the same time (like JGTC300 is on track at the same time asJGTC500), I didn't think the Zs were actually in the same group as them and racing them... wow. -e

For what it's worth, the first time I put my then nearly-stock Z on a set of scales I was real surprised to find out that the front to rear weight balance was very close to 50/50... As I recall it was something like 52-48... I don't know what I expected but I guess it wasn't that... Aero wise, the Z has the more slippery shape (especially ZG of course) so provided identical power plants I would bet on the S30 over the 2 and 4dr Skylines... I guess it could also come out to suspension and I do know the rear of the Skyline is set up differently than the rear of the Z - maybe someone here with more time on their hands can wax poetic about the pros/cons of either setup? -e
