It's worth what someone is willing to pay for it. However, the main problem with what the current market is willing to pay is the color change, never a good idea. Also, there are a few body/paint issues that the listing details. The old market might have been willing to pay as much as - my opinion - 80k but the current market did indeed speak. The upper middle class collector car market is keeping their powder dry.

Not in the current climate. See my comment above.

Excellent example of what I've been calling for the past 12-14 months the "Depressed upper middle class collector car market".

I'd like to comment about Mr. Ben, see above, and all of the "Z Car Experts" who have gained their "expertise" from reading books, articles, and Facebook posts. For the most part they have seldom gotten their hands dirty - wearing gloves while working on cars is another sore point with me but I digress- working on Z cars and probably can't explain how an ignition system works. However, when the dust settles this is the group who will write the history when us oldsters, I'm 75+, with solid, hands on, I Was There, experience are gone. History has taught me that this is so often the fate of orphan marques.

Looks like post 79 ZX wheels

A fool and his money are soon parted.

As of this date it is NLA from Nissan !

Please, please be most careful when suggesting ANYTHING from zeddsaver. I, and a number of folks I spoke with over the years , had problems, some big/significant.

Exception here (damn it).........Remember/PAY ATTENTION - the second iteration all had my reproduction door jamb and engine compartment ID tags. I've stated this more than once but given the source it's not taken into consideration. I consider Les a friend, confident and partner- in- crime, we had several long chats about the car(s) he did. I won't repeat any of them here for obvious reasons.

As it's clear I don't know what I'm talking about this will be my last post to this subject. Cue the cheering throngs!

There we go again with the insults. I've found that people like that aren't very happy people in general - that's always been my frame of mind when trying to understand such behavior.

Roo - You're correct, and I know from first hand experience, Pierre wasn't amused! Many moons ago I serviced 2 of the Z Store cars and just can't remember what exactly I did to them. If I did a valve adjust to one or both and found little or no adjustment room left for the exhausts that would have told the tale about valve seat replacement, but............

Good morning deanhuff, Can't answer your question as I just don't know. However, if you're like the owners of the vast majority of old cars and only put a few hundred miles on your Z per year it isn't really an issue. Of course if your comfort level requires a lead additive by all means feel free. If you've recently acquired a Z I strongly suggest 1 - cold and hot valve adjustment 2 - cold and hot cylinder leakage test 3 - new valve cover gasket (the absolute best is Nissan which is still available from your local dealer under P/N 13270-Y7010) Cheers

Wasn't my invoice somewhere near the winning bid?

I just wish I could remember that car!
