  1. In case you were wondering what has changed in our website over the last week, here's a video I posted in our Youtube channel. This should help clear up some of the new features and how you can use the new website design to your advantage.
  2. Here’s a business card that was sent to me by Taka Sato

    Just found this gem in my Youtube channel, not sure why I haven't posted it yet. Taken a year or two ago after I had the VTO wheels installed.
  4. Someone from the club should go rescue that damsel...
  5. Ugh, that steering wheel
  6. Exciting News: Welcome to the Next Chapter of The Classic Zcar Community! Greetings, Z enthusiasts! I’m thrilled to introduce you to the refreshed and revitalized Classic Zcar Community—the next evolution of the space we’ve all cherished for the past 30 years. While we may have a new name, our mission remains the same: to bring together passionate Z-car owners, restorers, and fans from around the world. This update isn’t just about a fresh look—it’s about embracing new technology while preserving everything that has made this community special. Whether you’ve been here since the beginning or are just joining us, you’ll find all the resources, discussions, and camaraderie that have made this community a staple for classic Z fans. There are countless new features and enhancements, far too many to list in a single announcement, so I invite you to explore and experience them over the coming weeks. We’ll continue to fine-tune and make improvements, but everything is up and running smoothly. I encourage you to dive in, connect with fellow enthusiasts, and keep sharing your knowledge, experiences, and Z passion. This community is what we make it—so let’s keep the Z content flowing! Welcome to the new Classic Zcar Community! See you in the forums, Mike
  7. If you are going for originality, yes of course... 😉

    Man, I'd give anything to have any kind of shop... 😉

    Man I wish I had the space for a blast cabinet... I would use it all the time. A few more years until the kiddo is out of school and I'll be looking for a place with a shop.
  10. Other than a throttle, key, choke, and a gauge to make sure you have oil pressure... should be fine.
  11. Ah yeah looks like they are out of that model... might want to give them a call? https://www.thezstore.com/datsun-280z-1977/product/2579/factory-heater-control-valve-8-75-78-280z
  12. Looks like MSA also has the valve... double check to make sure this is the right one... I am not sure what car you've got. https://www.thezstore.com/product/2576/factory-heater-control-valve-79-83-280zx-with-auto-ac MSA also gives discounts to members, just need to provide them with your membership ID.
  13. Yeah that's probably one of the worst designs for a valve. I've had plenty of curse words during my time working on that thing. Do it right or you'll be back under the dash again later.

    Welcome! Great car you got there... 😉
  16. Mike posted a post in a topic in Open Chit Chat
    This is great!
  17. Wow, your friend is doing a very good job at both the restoration and the videos! Thank you for sharing with us and please let him know that we would love to see him on our website as well. Thanks again!
  18. Hopefully your wheels clear it.. 😉 Do you have a shot with the wheels on?
  19. Very nice! Thanks for taking photos and taking the time to document this project. How does it ride now?

    Well, I guess I was wrong... check out this search https://www.classiczcars.com/search/?q="hood latch cable"&quick=1
  21. Mike posted a post in a topic in Open Discussions
    I've tried rebuilding several cables like this, mostly the choke. Anything I would do to it would eventually fail. TBH, I'm not sure anyone here has taken on this kind of project.

    Security. Usernames are published in each post. But email addresses are not. So, by moving to an email login this eliminates 50% of the information that hackers can use to try to get in. (other 50% is the password)
  23. Mike posted a post in a topic in Internet Finds
    Thanks guys! I wish they were around when I did my restoration. I did mine the old fashioned way.. 😉
