Now who would really buy something like that on ebay...some far off government? That has to be the most ridiculous thing I've seen on e-bay. Sure could ship alot of Z-Cars on that. What's next, the Saturn 5 Rocket? Go figure

This article is right out of our newspaper here today and I immediately thought of this thread. A 56 year old man in a 1995 Chevy Camaro Z28 was racing a Corvette on a city street. The speed limit was 45mph and they were topping speeds of 90mph. The Camaro driver lost control, crossed over the median and killed 3 kids in another car and also killed his wife riding in the Camaro with him. This is what HIS attorney said: "We know he was going faster than the speed limit. The problem was that the rear tires of his Camaro lost traction, sending him out of control and into an oncoming car, killing four people. Perhaps a finicky traction control system is to blame." Can you believe it!!! This is why some attorneys make me furious!!!!! :tapemouth :mad:

I got 5 out of 10. Kinda half-assed the testROFL

I must admit that I was excited to hear that Nissan was bringing back the Z. I expected a 340Z, not a 350Z. It took some getting used to. Comparing the 350Z to the 240Z is like comparing the young, slim Elvis to the fat, bloated, overweight Elvis. I can't even think of the 350Z as a "Z". Even the Z emblem is shaped different. No offence to any Elvis fans or 350Z fans, OK

You lost me with 350Z. I agree with 240zx. Now lets move on to the next more mature subject.

Thanks all and Phred.......you da man. I better listen to you now rather than hear you later. Just ask and you shall receive a plethera of info on this site. Who needs a freaking mechanic.

I have to agree with Marty on the selection. The other styles are bordering on "The Fast and The Furious" look. Just my opinion. I do like those rims:classic:

While flipping through the Summit catalog I see the SplitFire 3 spark plugs at $5.99 each. Has anyone used these on their Z and if so, did you notice any difference, then say from the NGKs or whatever other brand you were using? $5.99 is a bit pricey so I would like to know if you guys think they are any better then NGKs.

Datto If you look in my gallery, you'll see a shot of the door panel. The window cranks on my Z were purchased from a Hot-Rod shop, I believe it's called "Little Joe's Hot Rod Shop". The spline fit perfect. I replaced the door latch opener also. I think you can find these types of set ups at any modification shop. Good Luck in your search.

Welcome Black Beaut, always loved a Black car. You're among the most knowledgable people (not me) around when it comes to Z cars on this site. These guys know more about the Z car than Nissan ever did. Again, very nice car you have there.

I think it's an improvement. Never really cared for the vette lights when they popped up, it ruined the lines of the car. The people at GM have finally changed the headlight design to flow with the car. No more pop-up lights. The vette always looked like it was winking at you when one of the lights wouldn't close and the other did.

Whats anybodys opinion on running aviation fuel in their Z. The local airport (not a major airport) has fuel with a 110-112 octane rating. Would you mix half with pump gas (93 octane) or would you run a tank full of 110 octane every once in a while. I've always heard that you should run the highest octane available from the pump in our Z cars.

Has anyone out there done any business with Jim Wolf Technology Inc in El Cajon California? If so, can you tell me what you thought of their service.

Went to the local Chevy dealer last week because the S-10 was recalled due to a wiper motor flaw. While there I "Pushed the Button" but didn't win.....naturally. Anyway has anyone seen that new Chevy Truck, I think it's called the SST. It's in the new Chevy commercial which is actually pretty cool with all the cars running up on the Car Hauler. The one that they had on the lot was $55,000.00! For a truck!?!?. It's really a cross between a car and a truck, sort of a Cruck.

There are no guarantees when it comes to theft, except "I guarantee I can steal it". If someone wants something bad enough, they'll get it even with LoJack and On Star. Locks are ment to keep honest people honest. On Star can be disabled by popping the fuse. This was told to me by a Chevy Dealer who also spoke of the "Big Brother" syndrome.

That is a very, very nice Z. I guess the whole blurb on "The Last Samuri" is a plug for the movie, which by the way, I've heard hasn't even hit the 100 million mark yet. Unusual for a Tom Cruise movie. Anyway, that is a nice car........what are they asking?

When I was in high school, many, many years ago, we used to take the coil wire off to keep others from taking our ride. This also used to work for friends who wanted to drive after drinking way to much.

Lo-Jack is a tracking system that is placed in your car. When the vehicle is stolen the local police (If they are equiped) can track the movement of the car.

Yes Victor, I've seen that car that optimaxtech is referencing. You CAN paint it yellow. Very nice car with a great price. But maybe we're speaking to soon. The car might very well be returned to you. Lo-Jack should be on all our pride and joys, as this could happen to any of us.

Katherine Ross was in the movie Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid with Robert Redford and Paul Newman. Marion Ross was in Happy Days. I ThinkLOL

Sean, I didn't quote from any site, I think you mean Mike W. I agree, you could never mistake "Jaws" for a Japanese. In "Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry", I thought it was an yellow Charger. I could be wrong as it's been years since I've seen that movie.

Vic If (God forbid) your Z is not returned, get another one. You live in the Z world, so I'm sure many would be happy to assist in finding you a Z. I know if I had an extra Z, I would gladly give it to you, that's how bad I feel.
