By the way, thanks for all the help guys! I thought this car was a '78 but it looks more like it was a '75 or '76. It's been a LONG time since I got rid of it, so, my memory seriously lapsed here. I was going to convert mine to fuel injection, but, I don't need that kind of project right now. I'd most certainly have to replace the tank and fuel pump, which is something I don't want to do right now. The triple Mikuni's are doing well.

Ok, so who wants to buy it? I'm cleaning out my storage by August so I need it gone. Looks like I need to adjust the title to say '75 EFI, will do that now.

Hmm. It's been a long time so my memory of the car has faded. It could be a 76. Here are some more photos. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Wishing him a speedy recovery! Come back to the world of Z's when you are!!

Amazing art shown here! Very nice work...

Sorry I did some upgrades and broke something. It should be working now.

Hey Don, you know I just did a search and didn't come up with much about u-joint replacement process. For such a common thing that needs replacing on a Z, I figured we would have a few at least! This looks like a good opportunity to start some more discussion. The search results, feel free to rummage through them: http://www.classiczcars.com/search/?&q=u-joints&page=2&sortby=relevancy Back when I did this work, I found out that cheap u-joints are not the answer. If you use the cheap ones, you'll do the job twice.. one with the cheap brand, and a second time with the quality brand.

Sorry your car was stolen! Hope it turns up, and please keep us updated. Anyone on the site see this car, please notify the owner!

It's likely the ads, they are loading from Google. I know I sound like a broken record, but, supporting members don't have any ads showing up. If you become a site supporter, these will go away. It helps us pay for hosting fees and things that keep the site online.

@Zed Head, that's because you have a blocker running. Please put our site in your 'white list' so it doesn't happen anymore. @siteunseen, ok let me know what you find. Thanks! Mike

I took your image, cropped out the white space below and trying to upload it again. Looks like it works fine.

There's a lot of white space at the bottoms of the images. Are you sure your screen capture program isn't doing that? Can you open the images in a picture viewer on your computer to see if they in fact have white space below them?

Didn't see the problem. When you refresh, are the images OK?

The Jaguarish for sale on Ebay. Not a Z, but, my gawd this needs some smack talk. My 7 year old son loves it though... ha! http://www.ebay.com/itm/172653782702

This 1965 Datsun 320 (chassis L320011764D) is described as a one-owner California truck, though the seller doesn’t seem to be including themselves in the count. The truck looks unusually good inside and out, and the ad says that paint finish is original and “restored.” Mechanicals sound to be very good as well, the seller claiming a strong running engine that exhibits no smoke, leaks, or strange noises when running. Find it here on eBay in Palm Springs, California for $11k. Beige suits the little truck’s utilitarian vibe, and the seller reports that finish is both original and restored–perhaps they’re referring to a correction process. There’s some paint wearing visible around the rear of the bed, which would seem to suggest this might be the case. Brightwork looks good, and original glass appears to be undamaged. New Hanook whitewalls are mounted over the stock steel wheels. The interior looks pretty tidy, with a crack-free dash, clean vinyl floors, and and good looking fabrics. The seats and door trim panels have been reupholstered in a tasteful two-tone scheme, and there’s new carpeted floor mats, though their color doesn’t quite match the other tones. All lights and gauges are reported to be working. Note the emergency brake handle mounted on the floor between the seat and driver’s door. An 1189cc four cylinder provides about 60 HP through the 4-speed, floor shifted transmission. Both the engine and tranny are said to have undergone a rebuild at some point, but a timeframe isn’t given. Other new parts mentioned include hoses, belts, radiator, and battery. New brakes, wheel cylinders, and a clutch have also been installed. The odometer shows just shy of 114k miles. View it at bringatrailer.com

One of Japan’s most iconic cars is making a comeback. A descendant of the game-changing 240Z that debuted in 1969, an all-new Z car (code-named Z35) will honor the legendary Datsun with a stylized 21st-century interpretation of the original’s long nose, short deck, and perfect proportions. That first Z was designed to appeal to buyers in its main market of the United States, and the new model will be no different. Just get a load of one artist’s vision of the dynamic silhouette. While the car will feature a low-slung, swooping body, it will be downsized from the current 370Z to dimensions that resemble the original’s. That means the car will lose around 2 inches in width from the current 72.6 inches. Our insider mentions that lightweight high-tensile steel will be used to further reduce the car’s curb weight by up to 420 pounds to a class-leading 2866 pounds. According to a source close to Nissan, the Z35 will be powered by a choice of V-6 and four-cylinder engines at first. Company bosses want to phase out the V-6, though a small but strong fan base might lead engineers to retain it. Nissan feels that it has to “wean” the motoring public off the six cylinder, which has been its mainstay powerplant since the very beginning, and switch to a more fuel-efficient four. We are told that the new four-cylinder will be a 2.5-liter turbo unit and incorporate direct injection to make at least 330 hp. But our insider explains that Nissan bosses are concerned about fuel economy and CO2 emissions, a fact that will almost certainly force them to reduce power to around 280 hp. For a gutsier Z, we can look to the company’s in-house tuning arm Nismo, which is rumored to be working on a 330-plus-hp model. The Z33 of 2002 was a big hit and its low-$30,000s price tag helped it drive out showroom doors. With the Z34, Nissan created a good-looking, sharp-handling coupe, but by Nissan targeting rivals in the BMW Z4, Porsche Cayman, and Audi TT, the price went into the low $40,000s and hurt sales. The new Z35 must pick up where the Z33 left off and reinvent the Z car all over again. That means downsizing while creating a compelling design and minimizing its sticker price. And employing four-cylinder turbos will do the brand no harm in lowering prices, CO2, and fuel consumption. We can expect to see the Z concept unveiled at the Detroit auto show in January. The final production version should debut one year later at the same show with a price tag starting under $30,000. Credit: http://www.motortrend.com/news/new-nissan-z-car-code-named-z35-in-pipline/
