Montezuma

Heck yeah we went...it was a nice event, no nationals but still nice. I hope they go back the the park next year. There lots of the guys from this board at the event and it was great meeting many of them.

Plating looks good, when do I bring my box of parts over? . Can't wait to see this car back together.

The Mitty is having a big deal this year to the Datsun badge. I know Les is taking 4 cars to it, 3 BRE cars. Should be a great event from what I told.

Julio, I would love to buy all your blue interior parts. I have a 71 that originally had a blue interior but it was painted black. I am willing to lowball you on the price too. Just tell me what you want.

I hate the molded kit, the kit from Eiji is exactly like the original. It was so easy to install and everything fit perfectly.

sure they would lower it more. The ride would be real rough.

I got a kit from Datsun Spirit that was just awesome, by far the best. It went in exactly like the original. The fit and quality was there. Eiji at Datsun Spirit was great. The kit comes from Japan so it takes some time to get but is worth the wait. We did the intall on a 1978.

I tend to agree with SteveJ, especially if you are using the car as a classic and not a daily. Most cops would give you a pass as long as your intention was to keep the car original.

Dem, You came to the right place. You will get lots of great helpful tips here. Hope you find a good car soon.

Ok this is a no brainer from my point of view. Kumho from Discount Tire. Want a good deal see the Manager Mike at the Palm Ave Store he always hooks me up. Th Kumhos are great tires for the money. If you like Yokos he could hook you with them too. They will beat all advertised prices.

Okay, a class move by a class guy, Thank you Greg for taking the time out of you busy schedule to write such an informative post. I for one will be up there early for the garage sale. You got a great staff especially Abraham. We look forward to 2011 then too. What about the Raffle? Love the Raffle, I win something cool every year.

That is awesome....Rothrock is still there? I grew up in Coopersburg but left when I joined the Navy in 1983. My 73Z is from Springtown PA. Hope there is a good turnout. Most likely there will be more 350Zs than S30s.

Oh well garage sale and go will be my day. I don't really care for a BBQ or any of that stuff. Maybe next year. JCCS will now be the place to be, especially since it is back at the Queen Mary.

That car is super cool. I got a friend in Phoenix who should go check it out.

I got the drive train parts right here in San Diego. I think I can let all go for about $1K. It is a complete car that my friend owns that he wants to sell. A project that has not gotten off the ground. The car is at the Hobbyshop at MCRD. I got a 2400 and 2800 motor that can go with it. The 2800 has 5sp tranny and is a fuel injected motor with all the parts on it. The 2400 has fresh E88 head on it and some other new stuff. Still waiting for my friends approval to sell it.

One of the places I recommended above was the park where they have JCCS over by the waterpark. On this 40th anniversary of the Z car for Motorsport Auto not hold a big event is so sad.

Check out Motorman7's 70 engine bay, he recorded on this site the restoration of his engine compartment and it is outstanding.

Back to the message of the thread, I agree kenobi on this one. I have a great realionship with the Manager of my local Discount Tire. Mike always gives me the best deal and uncompromised customer service. He knows my cars and he knows what I want in a tire when I arrive. Just today I got new shoes for my daughter's Sentra SE/R, he knew I wanted Yokohama's and that I am not a fan of the new S-drives that replaced the ES100. Why discontinue the ES100s?...I will never know but that is getting off subject. I knew right away to move to Bridgestone Potenzas which have a real nice tread and sidewall disign. $714 later which is only $20 than I paid for the ES100s 33,000 miles ago or 2 years ago. Not a bad day. The local Tire Guy is your friend.

I enjoy it up there...it is a little bit of drive from Imperial Beach but when I got business to do there I have to go.

Awesome...late posting this Motorman7 told me about it over lunch today. I should have called myself.

Excellent idea....Don't forget about the largest club: GroupZ. Give Z guys a reason to come together they will come.

Excellent point as well....another reason pictures would have been good.

Same thing I was thinking. Go with SteveJ's advice.

I guess my next question is would you pay to display your car like people do a most car shows? Maybe like $10 per car? How much is JCCS to display? I always gladly pay $10 to get into JCCS and never complain. The free event was awesome when done on the streets of Orange but in the park it should have some sort of fees. There are a few car shows/car events I go to every year: Grand National Roadster Show in Pomona, Good Guys at Del Mar, West Coast Nationals and JCCS. I also do like the events at the Datsun Heritage Meusem as well. Tell me what you guys think.
