72 OJ

Gary ....what is the agreed insurance value on your car?..............mine is 50.000,00 US $

Read this with a little heart and my words will reveal the ''HONOR''

On mine with 13'' rotors at all corners,two pistons PBR's at the front and one piston PBR's on the rear, has a Cardone rebuilt booster for an early Z and she stops on a dime

Hubristic , a syndrome that is present here frequently,,,,,so that makes me part of this '' club ''

hls30.com.....................Honor this marvel of a car as what it is , in the sense to bring back into the position it held in the market at it's debut, but in today's automotive world . I ask...........is it wrong to modernize the performance of a Z

not an S30 Z but a relative, yes the mud flaps are coming off, got her for a song she is clean,98k miles, 5 spd, rides nice and tight

Yep, the LS1 is an L engine= acceptable LOLLOL:laugh:

Gary, that is math manipulation, and that is OK. I ask......what is wrong in honoring this marvel of a car by updating it's drive train, today 150 hp and rear drums are obsolete none fun factors. I like old school but also welcome a well thought and well done update on a classic looking sports car. I invite you watch any of the Barrett Jackson Auctions or similar venues , there you can clearly see the moneys that are exchange on complete blue chip restorations, even exotics with modern guts. At times the so called modified brings more $ than its out of the box twin

The Jay Leno ,Orient Style..................wow what a treat

Welcome to Z Land. Let the addiction and the mod bug , be with you

Just came to my attention that this lime Z(400hp) that appears on the opening page of the forum , was not mention on this thread, it is a well executed car with no regard to money, and the Z name was never ignore on the comments it generated .............that is all. Just a simple observation on my part. BTW aint she a pretty Z

http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/content.php?r=180-World-s-best-Datsun-240Z-resto-mod......So to some this baby is not a Z......

YEP. , priorities for the Z's, there is something we want, don't need but must have,need's it but it can wait,will make it fit/work,we stored it and can not find it, sold it but now need one,pay to much,sold to cheap,and so it goes

Looking for a donor,a Maisto, an Ertl or an AUTOart

I have a 1:18th Z silver Burago, I thought of doing a swap from 1:18th scale LS1 engine

this little Z's are commanding a premium http://www.ebay.com/itm/Franklin-Mint-1970-Datsun-240Z-/271032877559?pt=Diecast_Vehicles&hash=item3f1ad181f7#ht_480wt_1160

Silver and red.............................

My Z, has what I have stated before, she is a Nostalgic, Japanese Motor Car with an ATTITUDE, she is wicked and sexy That engine bay screams V8

No more credit :disappoin.

more power is more power.......................................LOLLOLLOL:pirate::pirate:

bump,

26th-z,,,,,,,,,,I see your point and value the note, Z's have been modified/customized from the get go, each of us gives its car that unique touch , some like the look of a out of the box,no mods and that is OK. To me hub caps are an instant replace item, the Z to me is a canvas, make it yours and enjoy it to the fullest . This marvel of a car is not to be compare to an exotic sport car, they are a nostalgic icon. My ''no secret handshake'' 72 Z , is a work of art, with an all aluminum LS1,6spd,a killer stance,A/C and in every outing she gets the WOW.........

Departed Mike's domain at 6.15 am , nice cool morning drive . Bro thanks for the hospitality , the crab feast was first rate, Happy B day. Say hi to the wife, see ya..............

its it

This past Sunday went to to the bay to work on ''Zfrankenvette'' , Mike did a complete pad replacemant job on her, front breaks are from a 2002 Cobra PBR's,rears are from a 96 C4 PBR's.I did a minor adjusment to my fuel line , new FI clamps and overhauled the gas line for a tight fit.
