Hello everyone...new guy here!

[AlexS13]

Hello my fellow Z car enthusiasts. My name is Alex and I'm from Toronto, Canada. I'm currently in the process of getting a '72 240z from arizona and shipping it over here. I refuse to buy a Z car from canada or the northern states because of the rust! I have been into Nissan's ever since i started driving about 12 years ago. I just recently sold my S13 240sx I have owned for about 7 years. I'm a very hands on type of person and do almost everything on my own in my garage...from swapping in a sr20det engine in the 240sx, suspension, etc..

I'm also really meticulous when it comes to cars. The slightest imperfection will bother me, whether its a paint imperfection, stone chip, dent, rust, etc..

Thats part of the reason I wanted an arizona car...to give me good starting point with minimal rust.

Well I look forward learing all about these cars and getting everyones advice and tips.

Here are a few pictures of my S13 before i sold it.

Welcome to the forum! I currently own a '72 that I had shipped from Kansas to California. My main objective was to find a one owner, low mileage car with little or no rust. I got lucky on all counts. Like me, it sounds like you're the kind of person who parks their car a million away from other vehicles In late 1989, I bought a cherry red pearl 240SX hatchback when they first came out. I probably would still have if it wasn't for the fact that I got shipped overseas. Again, welcome and take advantage of the forum's seach function to find a lot of good advice. Most of us have been there and done that!

Do you have any pics of your new Z?

Welcome aboard fellow canuck!

Smart choice on the efforts to ensure rust-free status.

Almost everything you need you will find on the board.

Also check out www.ontariozcar.com for the Ontario club. Good bunch of people, some neat events.

For hands-on expertise, check out Whitehead Performance (401 & Weston) for mechanical work (doesn't sound like you'll need much). Not always the cheapest, but they've been working on these things forever and Greg & Mike know their stuff. (I need to find their equivalent in Montreal...)

Good luck with the project. Hope to cross paths someday (although I moved to Montreal a couple of months ago).

Cheers.
