Hi guys, I wanted to re-open this thread from 2005! Did anyone find a CAD drawing or (better) a 3D model of the 240z ? If someone wants to digitize or scan my Franklin Mint model I can send it to you.

Oh, sorry... VR is Virtual Reality. Second Life is a VR world created by a company called Linden Labs. It's an interesting world to explore, but, a lot of fun. You can create many different things in there (including an alternate reality). I'd like to create a club garage and start a cool collection of user rides. But, first we need to create a base-model of the 240z that people can modify. Check out SL at: http://www.secondlife.com -- Warning, it is addicting. -- Mike

Any of you know if a Datsun has been put together for the VR world Second Life? I'd like to get one going if not.

Konig does make a 16" rewind. You can find it at Motorsport: http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/WWC001H/25-1151 Panasports are also on sale there as well: http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/PFW/25-1016 They are only 7" wide though... Not sure if you wanted to stick to the 8" + wheels or not... I've been doing some research on this topic and Panasports are at least double the cost of Konig's. Konig's are good for standard drivers, but, Panasports are stronger and will hold up to hard cornering and racing conditions. -- Mike

Nate, what did you pay ? I'm looking at 16's, but, have been trying to justify the cost. I wonder why those wheels cannot be done quicker, that company has been around for years. -- Mike

You should post this in the classifieds.

Very sexy! Excellent work and THANKS for sharing. I loved driving the curves of the Great Ocean Road even if it was in a Holden.

Hi Matt. I'm in the Chula Vista area staying with relatives.

Anyone want to get together ? I will be here until Monday and then it's back to real life. Would be fun to meet some of you guys. -- Mike

That's when our clubs microfiche CD helps.

Nope, Courtesy doesn't sponsor this club. I've tried asking them to help out but I get no response. If anyone knows the guys at Courtesy, I would love to get some help. Sorry, I don't want to hijack this thread. I have actually received a pretty good response from the Nissan dealerships in the area. When I talk about the 240z, I usually get the typical response, "Oh, I knew someone that had one of those cars...." It also helps to talk with the parts manager at any particular Nissan dealership. They are typically older and know more about a wide-variety of Nissan/Datsun vehicles. The managers are usually pretty good about giving discounts as well. ALWAYS ask for a club discount and tell them about our website. The biggest discount I've received is 20% due to this relationship. -- Mike

I think my Z's about 6-7 seconds. But, I've got some extra goodies under the hood.

Send the guy an email, he's only got one post on here so I'm not sure if he'll be back. Maybe he will become a regular once he gets the car back, though.

A man was riding his Harley along a California beach when suddenly the sky clouded above his head and, in a booming voice, the Lord said, "Because you have TRIED to be faithful to me in all ways, I will grant you one wish." The biker pulled over and said, 'Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can ride over anytime I want.' The Lord said, "Your request is materialistic, think of the enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking; the supports required to reach the bottom of the Pacific and the concrete and steel it would take! It will nearly exhaust several natural resources. I can do it, but it is hard for me to justify your desire for worldly things. Take a little more time and think of something that could possibly help mankind." The biker thought about it for a long time. Finally, he said, 'Lord, I wish that I and all men could understand women; I want to know how she feels inside, what she's thinking when she gives me the silent treatment, why she cries, what she means when she says nothings wrong, and how I can make a woman truly happy. The Lord thought for a few minutes and replied, 'You want two lanes or four on that bridge?

Did you know that you can also EMBED the video into your posts here? On the Youtube site, copy the code next to the "Embed" link and post it in a message. Here's what it looks like:

Don't worry, I moved it.

You should give Steve a call at Ztherapy. Check out his shop at: http://www.ztherapy.com Tell him Mike sent you. He knows the SU carbs intimately.

Hi guys, Where's the best place to buy Panasports or Konig Rewinds? I want to pick up the 16" rims in the light silver color. Of course I want the best deal with the right service. Any of you done that research already? Thanks! Mike

Sorry, didn't mean to hijack it. WAASSSSSSUPPPPP?!

Man, I thought Bud used the WAAAAZZUUUPP for over a year? Sorta like "Where's the beef?!"

I just want to say this. Anything said in this thread, although funny to read, does not convey the thoughts or opinions of this club as a whole. Anything said by individuals was written at their own discretion. Also, I must leave you with the following quote of the day: Goodnight.

Beauty.. I really like your new photos. You've taken some time to get just the right angles. Very well done!

You are almost there!!! Take a few weeks and finish the project. You'll either get a buyer or you'll want to keep it at that point.
