This guy obviously owns some other kind of car-probably one seriously trounced by 240Zs back in the day, and it wouldn't shock me if this thread is posted on some Parsche/BMW/ Alfa forum somewhere as a "here's you sign" humor poking fun at Z owners... Will

And Johns car

And a few more...

And some others...

Here are a few of that Porsche and its younger brother. The originals are 8mp, I'll add someof the others... Will

I am going to post all of the pictures somewhere, but when I posted to the archives here, I picked and chose the best of what a I took-I took a healthy number detail shots, to pick up the particulars of many of the details of the rare cars there. My though was the full on shots would be the most interesting to the members here. Will

Just kidding about the problem, or am I? I really don't know what they all look like! Will

I hesitate to include this one because it gives Free Beer! Anheuser-Busch gives free tours of their Jacksonville brewery, complete with company history, brewing knowledge and free beer! 111 Busch Drive Jacksonville, FL 32218 +1 904 696 8373 Open Hours10am-4pm Mon-Sat http://www.budweisertours.com/toursJACK.htm I guess I answered the question I posed above-Huh! Will PS, On further investigation the tours may have been suspended-but all it takes is free beer to get your attention!

"Your wheel collection was your ticket out" Still addicted I see! Will

I have a long list of other family things to do in the Jax area, most are of the playground/arcade/inflatable(not your kind of inflatable toy there E!)rides type thing, I am getting the web links set up too so they can be completely checked out. I will list the places I have been first and give my thoughts of them, those that I haven't been to, you'll know as much about as I do. My thought was that those of us that will go to See Carl could get together for Friday night/Saturday for something before the Amelia Island show on Sunday. Whether it is renting a pavillion at one of the ocean front parks for a Saturday drive up Z show/swap meet, or just hunting down the closest Hooters(Restautant there guys!)! What kind of thing would you guys be up for? Will

Have you tried the obvious-filling the opposite side of the existing plenum to force the air to the drivers side? If you paint or cover the obstruction with black material, you will still have all of the stock components in your car, the vintage look, and the answer to your problem(limiting the path of the air will increase its velocity and impose a specific direction(if filled purposefully), and unless I misunderstood, that is what you are after... Just a thought, Will

I believe Stephen is right on it, sounds like junk in the tank... There is a copy of the EFI manual in the archives, if you can't find it, PM me an email address, and in the next day or two I'll send it to you. Will

Doradox, The pretending and deliberate misleading is the issue. The value of the keys is just a small part of it. Will

Looks pretty silly to me to advertise NOS OEM parts at an obscene premium to a market that is all about modifications...but, I guess when you completely alienate the primary market for your investment... As pointed out earlier, Fortunately an original key blank is a want a not a need, the cars will run without them, and anyone into the cars will identify the keys made from these blanks as non original replacements anyway. So waiting for a better price, or an indistinguishable reproduction that comes cut (not ground) and stamped with original Nissan tooling at a 1/3rd the price should just about kill the marketability of those anyway-better sell them quick! Having something isn't nearly as important as having a market for it... Will

I can't wait to see more of this car! WIll

To some this is a market, not a club, to some it is a club and a market, and to some it is only a club-there is plenty of room for all three kinds-as long as they don't pretend to be any kind other than what they are... It is the pretending that that ticks people off. Selling something to a friend isn't wrong, But giving the friend the question "How much would you give me for it?" is certainly more out in the open than what has gone on in this thread... Friends don't take advantage of friends... Will

What Kind of Carshows do you really enjoy In waht capacity Note any cool events you experienced... Put anything that adds to the car show experience! Bikini contest, vendor displays, etc... Will

Cold for the beach is warm for the mountains... Jacksonville Fl average March Temps High 73 Low 50 Asheville NC average March Temps High 58 Low 36 73 degree day at the beach...sounds pretty appealing to me! Granted, Saturday and night last year were COLD, but Sunday was very comfortable from 10 am until about 6 pm Will

I didn't want to be as obvious...

And Now for something completely different! If you like the beach or camping. or both, you are in the center of more coastal parks than you can shake a stick at! The Temperature averages 73 during the day. Peek at the addresses-all seriously close by, all but one right down the street! My family camps out at Huguenot at least once a year. They have RV and tent sites(with fire rings), restrooms inside and outside showers(inside access limited to registered guests). Legal beach driving, an on site store, an on site cafe/bistro, and there is a ferry($8) to cross the St. Johns a mile or so down the road for quicker access to Jacksonville than driving down Hecksher alone will allow! Amelia Island State Park 12157 Heckscher Drive Jacksonville, FL 32226 904-251-2320 Big Talbot Island State Park 12157 Heckscher Drive Jacksonville, FL 32226 (904) 251-2320 Fort George Island Cultural State Park 12157 Heckscher Drive Jacksonville, FL 32226 (904) 251-2320 Little Talbot Island State Park 12157 Heckscher Drive Jacksonville, FL 32226 904-251-2320 Fort Clinch State Park 2601 Atlantic Avenue Fernandina Beach, FL 32034 904-277-7274 Huguenot Memorial Park 10980 Hecksher Drive Jacksonville, FL 32226 (904) 251-3335 Will

First Family iinteresting place! Jacksonville Zoological Gardens http://www.jaxzoo.org/ (904)757-4462 370 Zoo Pkwy Jacksonville, FL 32218 9am-5pm 363 days a year(some attractions within don't open until 10am) Combination Tickets (includes Train Ride) Adult: $14.50 Child (3-12): $8.50 Children 2 and under, free Add $3.00 for stingray bay-it's worth it! Feeding the stingrays ads $1 My family and I drive down twice a year to visit "The Jacksonville Zoo" it is a great place for Kids and adults, and is stroller(renals available on-site) friendly! There is a stroller friendly train(with a tour guide to point out highlights) that circles the park all day long, and you can ride as often and long as you want. There are tons of animals, you can pay to feed Zebras, stingrays (reasonable, but sometimes a long line), and the animals in a kiddy petting zoo. The staff makes a presentation out of feeding several large Aligators ,and the sharks! Everywhere you or your children can feed/pet animals there is a large handwashing station! Children have several areas that can go and just play! Gerbil maze-just what it sounds like a giant series of plastic tunnels for the kids to run through-and believe me they do! In the Play area of the park: There is a Splash Ground-be sure to bring a bathing suit for the Kids! "Swimmies" can be bought on site. There is a Tree House(seriously up in the air) playground with rope/net bridges, two story slides, and lots of "secret areas" to explore. A Garden Maze-just for kids-they go in one area and meet you at the other end. All of the Childrens areas are set up so an adult can participate as well-and it is fun to get in with them! We spend 5 to 7 hours at the Zoo each time we go-and usually don't see it all-the boys get tired. There are several places to eat within the park, ranging from outdoor stands to fast food type dining-eat early-the lines get looooong for the climate controlled restaurants-in March that should not be an issue, it will not be hot-nor will it be cold(maybe in the early morning hours). We have taken children from 6 months old to 14 years old, and all of them have had a great time. If you have kids in your mix, this is the best, longest, and most memorable(make sure you have a change of clothes for the splash area) venue that we have taken our boys to in the Jacksonville area. Will PS I forgot to mention the Zoo is on Heckscher Road-a road that goes all the way to Amelia Island. Three turns and you are there-Granted it is a good stretch of road(around 30 miles) between , but...turn left out of the Ritz Carleton, turn left on to Heckscher-go about 30 miles(well signed-even though you will think you are lost) and turn left onto Zoo Parkway, and you are at the Zoo!

This thread is to help you figure out your plans to come to Amelia Island over the weekend of March 13-15, 2009. The Car Show will be held on that Sunday, and the initial point of this thread is to address what to do with all of the significant others that come with you with short automotive attention span, and to give current and historic details about the show. First, When and Where is the cars how? Ritz-Carlton-Amelia Island Golf course on Sunday March 15 2009 4750 Amelia Island Pkwy Fernandina Beach, FL 32034 Website (904) 277-1100 Here are several images from mapquest to save me thousands of words! I will be labeling these maps with locations suitable to seriously entertain family and friends while you come see Carl, his car and the rest of the wheeled rarities at the show.

Our Local Dealer, Victory Motors (a Datsun dealer since at least 1967), didn't receive its first shipment of 240Zs until April/May of 1970, proven by the absence of advertising for them in the news paper, and confirmed by the dealership mechanic, I am hunting the first 240Z ad in my local paper. to see when the first batch of Zs was atleast scheduled to hit the dealership...this probably should start a new thread. Will

Victor, I figured your last Iron Bottom run shook something important loose! That, or you got some bad(or maybe waaaay too much-if there is such a thing) imported beer! Anyway, glad to see you were able to get the right wrench from ebay to tighten what ever it was that shook loose. Can't attach a wave file-so here, sing this aloud so who ever is close enough to hear will catch a nostalgic moment if they are old enough, if they aren't old enough, well, they probably already excuse some of your behaviors anyway, what's one more! Welcome back, Your wheel collection was your ticket out, Welcome back it's the same old place that you laughed about, some of the names have changed since you hung around, But those cars have remained then they've turned around, Who'd of thought they'd needja Who'd of thought they'd needja Back here where we needja Back here where we needja Yea we tease him a lot cause we've got him on the spot, Welcome back Welcome Back, Welcome Back, Welcome Back, Welcome Back, Welcome Back, Welcome Back, WELCOME BACK!! Will

A set of 7 or so just sold for about $60 on ebay-I midded the auction, or the pice would have been higher-quite possibly significantly! and a die would have been made-it still will be, just not as soon. Will
