I got my video of the People's Choice Car Show uploaded. If you can, watch it in 4K.

He arrived on Monday and left on Wednesday. I had a chance to chat with him at the reveal of the Z Proto on Tuesday.

Interesting. I'll have to keep this one in mind.

Here is a panoramic photo I shot of the cars lined up on the front stretch. Unfortunately some of the cars up front got cut off. Before that, I was in the garage area talking on the phone with a friend. Then Chris Karl, head of the ZCCA, asked me if I wanted to ride along with him on the parade laps. I told my friend that I had to go, grabbed my camera bag, and hopped into the passenger seat. (Well, as much as my old bones would let me hop into the passenger seat of a 370Z.) I didn't have a chance to get one of my action cameras with gimbal, so I got my old handycam out of my computer bag and did my best to hold it steady while Chris was putting on a show for the ZCON videographers. Before that, the cars were lining up double file to go onto the track for parade laps. Again, no time for the steady camera equipment (sorry!), but I thought the video looked neat.

Dang it. Someone wiped out at track day. I thought it was Greg IRA from a distance. The driver is okay.

Sunrise at ZCON

Nissan put on a great show for the ZCON attendees today. The setting was great. They fed us and had cars from the Heritage collection on display. I had a blast. https://photos.app.goo.gl/NYnCcyg1rKe3VF6K8

Here's the video to go with the photos from the Judged Car Show.

Oh, and if they were broadcasting when someone in Nashville yelled, "Save the manuals!", that was me.

Alphonso said something during the presentation that I have been saying for a while. The original Z was successful because it was more than just another sporty car. It has a practical side (that I put to good use stuffing mine with all sorts of tools, clothes, camera equipment, etc. for the trip to ZCON) that made it where it could be your only car (if you didn't have kids). I'm hoping there is plenty of that in the new Z.

Here are the rest of Monday's photos and a video from Suds & Shine: https://photos.app.goo.gl/UaeiMfMAhHnzXiQu6

What's worse: you saying that, or me immediately knowing where that came from?

Are you ready for the photo flood to start? Day 1 (or is it Day 0?) https://photos.app.goo.gl/xLN3ymszPDNSx87j6 This morning https://photos.app.goo.gl/UxdKfupPw7E6ZDyh6

Actually, you need to post a photos of the passenger side headlight out of the car (front/side/back). If it has two adjustment screws, then it's possibly one of two things: 1. Someone replaced the headlight in the past with a driver side headlight. 2. You somehow managed to mount the headlight 90 degrees out. Without being able to look closely and not knowing much about your car, I would consider #1 first. Getting back to an earlier topic in the thread, I think I found a better source for the DRLs. The washer fluid motor isn't close to the front, but you could use power from the blue/red wire, again with an inline fuse right after where you tap. That way if the fuse blows, you only lose the DRLs and you still have your wipers.

Some people got preferred paking in the hotel.

With using the coil, you must use an inline fuse, or a short will stop your car dead. I will try to find another source, but it won't be until much later today. I'm hitting the road for ZCON. As for the headlight adjustment not lining up, that should be part of the factory assembly. Please post clear photos.

Yes, I'm bad about discovering something wrong with the electrical diagrams and not telling everybody.

Look through the 74 BE section and wiring diagrams. They should be available on this site. I was helping a friend with his 73 when I realized that the wiring I saw didn't match the 73 FSM. I then compared it to the 74 FSM and found that it matched up better.

This looks promising for those of us who like to choose our own gears.

$5.98 at Home Depot. $5.60 at Lowes.

Another reason you should consider the Dawson County/Forsyth County option. There are plenty of good Z people who would be willing to lend a hand.

Check to make sure the resistor is still plugged into the tachometer circuit.

No, hence unobtainium - A substance that cannot be obtained.
