Zrush

Got a 32% on the test, Says I'm a Racer X and 100 % of the males in my age group scored lower. I guess I still have some brain cells left after many long exposures to high levels of Z exhaust. Scott ( The one that rarely posts ) :pirate:

Chris is a ricer, Chris is a ricer! Vicky

I think Deeter said "Minkey". "Do you want to touch my Minkey? "Touch it, Love it". "Now is time on Sprockets when we dance." Then he walks up close to the camera and then back. Too Funny! I love anything Mike Myers does. The guys hilarious Vicky

:classic: That was fun!! I got a 19%. Does that mean I'm clueless to the ricer scene? I do like Monkeys Vicky

My 72 looks like it's gloss black. Vicky

This guy is great. He made custom Z running lights for the 77. www.lambertenterprises.com Vicky

Bummer, I hope he gets it back in one piece. Vicky

You are so funny Bill. You'll get the Z running some day. Don't give up. :classic: Vicky

To destroy your kidneys, do as my husband has done. Tokicos set on 3, 1" heavy duty sway bars, polyurethane bushings, Suspension Techniques lowering springs (2"), adjustable front and rear strut tower braces, 4 wheel adjustable camber kit and a LSD. :hurt: Very, very, very rough ride and beware of a pebble in the road. Vicky

Thanks Alfa for your clarification. So no other car company can produce a vehicle and call it a "Z". They just can't have a badge with "Z" alone on their car right? Vicky

From a females point of view, nail polish remover will also take paint off plastic. But nail polish remover has a drying agent in it so I would do a small test spot as Tom has suggested. Vicky

Jeff, we know all kinds of body shops and painters over here in the Tampa Bay area. This area is the haven for primo shops. How much do you want to spend? My husband knows paint quality and he can vouch for these shops as we've seen the cars that have come out of the paint booth. Vicky

I don't know how BMW owners refer to their cars but I refer to them as Big Money Wasted . MikeW's find does show a Nissan website, hmmm. Maybe Nissan does hold some kind of rights to the letter. If you look at alot of products for Z cars that have the "Z" in the advertisement, it normally as the circle with the r to the right of the Z, Meaning registered trademark, no? Vicky

Correct, Correcter or Correstest, it's a beautiful car. It looks so clean. Wonder what the under-carriage looks like. Vicky

Chris is taking his car back to "Factory" (oh geez, I used that word) specs as much as possible. The ZCCA rules are an excellent example of the different mods/classes for the Z cars. I needed an oil filter for the 240Z. I figured Fram or whatever will do but Scott would not here of it. I had to order (got a couple) OEM Nissan filters with the Japanese writing and all. "We must keep the 72 240Z pure and untouched" he says. Dammit there goes my V-8 swap idea :cheeky: I think that Z on ebay is typical of what most owners did to their Z when they originally got them back in the day. Vicky

Wow, that is a nice car even though it has a few minor interior mods. Is the muffler suppose to be silver? Don't like the way you can see it from the side shot. I'd powdercoat it black. What is that thing hanging just to the left under the glove box? Very zweet Z :classic: Vicky

This is a topic that we've discussed many times with numerous "other" automobile fanatics. The letter Z is a registered trademark of Nissan, so does that mean that no other company, auto or whatever is allowed to use the letter Z, by itself in their products? The Z28 came before our 240Z's but Chevrolet never refered to their camaro as "The Z". BMW has a Z3 (or is it a Z4) but the number follows the letter. The corvette Z06. Do you see what I mean. All other companys seem to have some other letter or number proceeding or following the letter Z. Is that because Nissan has a trademark on the letter Z. Any opinions or comments. Vicky

Brian Morrow used the R200 rear ends when he was building the Scarabs. Those cars were 327ci & 350ci, some with 350+ hp. He did put some kind of a plate on there to keep the rear end from "hopping". Served as a traction control and stabilizer of some sort. I have the name and a picture of the plate up under the rear end at home. Will try and load it up when I get home. I just cannot think of what it's called. (Getting old and the mind is going ) Vicky

Not 98 (I wish). We have between 93 and 95 octane at the local stations. Of course, closer to the race tracks you can get higher octanes but that's a different situation. No matter what we're getting and paying, it's all a RIPP OFF :mad: Vicky

Same over here in the Tampa Bay area and we can get 93 to 95 octane for around $2.10 $55 a barrel I here in the news today. Man that's ridiculous Vicky

Nissan imported the Z cars under the Datsun brand incase the car was a flop here in the states. I would never call my Z's "Nissan 240Z" or "Nissan 280Z". In my opinion, when Datsun went to the Nissan 300ZX it was all down hill from there. I am proud of the Datsun name and it's recognition here. Datsun was a "strong" name in it's day, at least here in the states. Long live the DATSUN (brand)!!! Vicky

Insulation in the doors? Well Ed does live in Niagara Falls, brrrrrrr Vicky
