I'm glad there will be some sort of event this year at Motorsport. However, I have a feeling it's going to be a cluster-****. Now I'm not suggesting it's not going to be fun......I can just see the turnout exceeding the confines of the lot and general vicinity. I say this learning that there will be no street closures??? This should be interesting. In terms of Motorsport's reasoning behind this years plans, I'll save those thoughts perhaps for another time. All I can say is if they really wanted this to happen the way we would all have liked, it could've been made possible elsewhere, another time, etc. I've been a supporter of their business and events for a long time. I will continue to do so. See ya guys there.

Thanks!

So, it looks like the big weekend will be for only one day this year (April 24th in front of the store)? I also heard that nothing was going at all. Does anyone have any solid info on what happened with the WCN for this year? Thanks!

I just picked up a 96 Z32 last week. It's my 3rd Z.......and I love it!!!

1970 low vin 240Z 1972 240Z in orange 1974 260Z 2+2 in red my 78 280Z is just fine 1979 280ZXR 1983 280ZXT in black with all the digital gimmicks 1988 300ZX Shiro Edition 1995 300ZXTT in pearl white my 96 300ZX will be fine in there too! any year 350Z Nismo 2009 370Z

That's right!

Simple answer: Time for a rebuild most likely. This happened to my 78 a few years ago.

Sure says a lot about that guy.....Wow. Maybe Tiger Woods owned it once.

Yes, I understood. I was just trying to see what others have experienced. Not that I don't trust your advice......just getting a feel out there

I'll start looking there. Thanks! Anyone had issues with urethane bushing squeaking?

OK, my shop can't seem to yet find the problem here. There is a very distinct and loud squeaking that seems to be coming from the front left part of my suspension. It squeaks whenever I hit a bump or start to brake. I am assuming the squeaking happens whenever the weight of the car is forced upon the front of it, or when the tire is pushed up when going over a speedbump. The left side in particular makes that sound. I am planning on changing out all the old bushing for new urethane versions. Not sure if this will cure the problem. My garage has already tried greasing things down there but the squeaking still persists. I've been living with this for a couple years now!!!!!!!

What makes the seller think it's the injector?

AMEN! Took the words right out of my mouth!

Incredible. AWESOME!

The Z31 qualifies. I checked. And to be honest I contemplated for a while weather I should turn in my 86 300ZX. I know to some of you that is blasphemous.....foolish, and plain stupid. Hell, I wouldn't even consider mentioning this on Z31.com. They would eat me alive! I would never ever turn in my 78 for any program. But, I weighed my options and wondered how I would benefit from a "clunked" 300ZX being turned into scrap. Honestly the notion saddened me. It seemed an undignified way to end her days. I started not to care if $4500 was more than her street value. So.....what caused me to even consider clunking a Z31? Simple; Financial. That and I've been having some serious issues with the 300 for a while.....until yesterday. A $48 part saved her from a decision that I may have regretted down the line. A part of me is ashamed to even share this with some of you....but I did think about it for a while. I think I was very frustarted with the Z31. Oh, and as far as any finacial gain........what a joke.....Especially after reading some of the posts here it got me to think even more. I am still the proud owner of two Zs. The Z31 will remain in my posession. All be it they are completely different from each other, but I love them both. I didn't want to be seen driving a Versa anyway.....Massive cool points would've been lost But more importantly I would've been another idiot destroying an important car....a car that I actually care about. Unless it's truly junk, keep your Z.

Ahh, great and thanks for checking this out for me. Much appreciated. Would you happen to know if any of the mechanics still work there before it was sold? I should be in the LBC by June. Can't wait! I hope the proximity of the ocean won't hurt my Z.

Really? That's strange. I looked it up yesterday and it seem to be in business. I'll call to confirm.

I will be moving to Long Beach pretty soon. The only Z shop I know of down there is Datsun Alley....Any feedback from fellow members would be appreciated. Also, if any of you know of other Z garages in that area, it would be helpful. Thanks guys, Andy

no 510's, no Roadsters. But I am totally there with you about that ONE jerk who was revving his motor. Where's the Z patrol when you need them?!:mad:

Great, wish I knew this before. Well, better late than never.

It was awesome as always. I didn't see nor recognize anyone from the board, but I've been gone for a while any way. It looked like there were more vendors this year. There were a few 370's entered and a GT-R on display....not sure who drove it in. I didn't stick around for the awards, but in a nutshell I'll say this; If you've been to the last couple years since it moved, then there ya go.......and that's not a bad thing One thing though.......I couldn't stand the guy with the beat up 280 that had a V8 dropped in it with no hood. The reving was driving me nuts as it's not allowed anyway. Stiil, a great time to spend a Sunday.

...Looks nice from the pics. Ask the seller if the timing belt and water pump have been serviced within the last 60K miles. That is VERY important with those cars. If not, it will cost you another 1k.......Been there when I bought my Z31. Yes, being an n/a automatic Z31 I would agree that they are not all that fast. However, they are comfortable and still a joy to drive. Good looking cars too.

It's a 240Z you're looking for Good luck.

Cool, here's the right thread I'll be where I always am....in the 280 section. Andy PS. RIP Bill.

I see someone beat me to the punch months ago. Thanks! QUOTE=Mike B;289448]http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=33388
