Ok, I have attached a photo by Paul Woodbury. You can find a couple more on my IMSA photo website http://zlalomz.googlepages.com/imsagtuz

Alan, I admire your relentless quest for historical fact. Rob, I admire your desire to argue as gentlemen. Now as my wife who is a school teacher would say, "A gold star for both of you". I wish I was an Admin so I could impose the "boobs thread law". If you don't post a picture, don't post.

Here is a pic I took at Laguna Seca. The Bob Sharp IMSA GT/U Z is above the Porsche and the Frisselle Z is leaving the frame on the left.

I love your 510. It makes me miss my 510s. They were never as nice as yours but still buckets of fun. This was 2 weeks ago. 4 Zs in a 3 car garage. My brother's beautiful and fast white Z has since been sold to a good home. It will only see track days. I am swapping a 5 speed into the orange automatic street car, and then working on the green car. The green car is kind of a kit car now that I have everything to finish it. Just add motivation and stir in some extra room to work now! Anyone in Nor-Cal want a free automatic tranny?

August 15-18 1991 4th Annual National Z Car convention held in Pleasanton Ca. I think I know the guy who took first in street prepared at the autocross:) If anyone wants scans from the program let me know. Steve Millen and Frank Honsowetz were guest speakers.

Congratulations to you John Thomas, Rick Martinez and Tom Holt!!! Congrats to Andrew Canak for second place, his first Nationals in a Z? How was your new motor Rick? And Andy Craig? Someone team up with him and get him back in a Z, he's my hero.

The new GT-R if they throw in some Depends for when the turbos kick in. http://www.autoweek.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071017/FREE/71017001/1065

Some Ronal Racing wheels on my brother's Z. 3 piece 16 inchers which Ronal no longer makes in this diameter.

This looks very interesting with a nice '72 and a rust free '70 body thrown in. The price is too high for me but maybe for someone else here. http://sacramento.craigslist.org/car/393212410.html

I came across a build thread for the car with a few more photos. http://atlanticz.ca/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=98&topic=1041.0

Here is a Prepared Datsun with the floor to roof metal bulkhead.

Here is part of the e-mail from the original owner. Zwolf's flares look like they were molded from these original ones. "The bodywork was done in San Jose, by Steve Doudy at Sport Performance. They created the molds from either Joel's or Frank's parts. The flares were lower than the original race flares so that the cars wouldn't have much space between the tires and fender lip."

It was Sport Performance and Joel Anderson. Scott Performance was in the same industrial complex at the same time.

Carl B. the black one I've been told is connected to Pierre Z in L.A. The last I heard was it was sold to someone in Japan. I tried to get more photos from Pierre but with no luck. Enigma. I talked to the owner of the red one and the flares were done recently. The car I am looking for was built by Sport Perfomance in northern Ca. Thanks everyone for any leads.

I am trying to help the original/owner builder of this Z locate his car. I know this Z is not many folks cup of tea here at ClassicZCar but I also know there are many well connected Z lovers on this site. More info can be found half way down this page. http://zlalomz.googlepages.com/streetimsa

I can't vouch for the mileage but this car might be interesting for someone here. It just needs S.U.s and a hood to go back to stock. http://sacramento.craigslist.org/car/305355696.html

Keep checking with the Z Owners of Northern California www.zonc.org for information about the Blackhawk all Nissan show. I think it's June 7th this year. It's held in the parking lot of the Blackhawk auto museum which is great to check out and my wife and daughters like the ritzy mall next door.

A couple of things to add to xrays excellent write up is of course you need to remove the shifter and its cover. Also be careful the shifter clevis doesn't hook on the firewall brakelines as you finish lifting the engine/tranny combo out. I have bent mine before. I use matching labels to mark any wires that I disconnect and label them too. An old wide tire (without the wheel) makes a great temporary engine stand on the floor. Lower the oilpan into the center of the tire and then you can seperate the tranny from the engine so you can put it on an engine stand.

Some black lights in the garage and Iron Butterfly cranked up on the 8 track will enhace your experience. Maybe add a profoundly cynical qoute to tell the man to stick it like Transcendental Racing did back in 1976. I actually like it, it reminds me of the body paint on Goldie Hawn from the Laugh-in T.V. show. untitled.bmp

Let Nissan brass ride around in a clean 240Z for a day and see how many looks and thumbs up they get. Then try hiring the Mustang designer to give it a shot at updating the good looks of the 240Z. He cleaned up the old design while keeping to its core soul. It's one of the few retro-revivals I have liked. Oh, and let a 6'4" old guy fit in it.

It looks like the best picture on the calender to me. Nice shootin'.
