My Intro
Good to see you made it Robert! Robert is a known trooper to the roadster crowd.

long champs
I thought they were Technos. But it's hard to tell. A lot of the JDM wheels are copied between JDM manufacturers

does my tranny have brass syncros?
Redline MTL. Yes you have brass syncros. Your 1980 transmission (B box) differs from the A box 5 speed used in non-US market Z cars and all SRL roadsters. The A box used steel "Porsche style" servos (syncros) for all gears up to 1970. After Nissan fitted 1~2, 2~3 with brass "Warner Style" syncros

Rear Brake Shoe recommendations??
Something still needs work. I have Nismo greens on the rear, Axxis Metal Masters up front - stops "NOW", even cold.

MSA 10th Anniversay Show 2005
Really looking forward to seeing you all. Let's make a point to get together. How about a ClassicZCar.com group photo? or an "Apres-Show" dinner. There's lots of eateries in the area. We could take over the Acapulco restruant on Katella. Maybe even a Tequilla or two in moderation, of course.

top speed of a 72' 240z
I've been to 125 according to the speedo. There's some left, but not much. I'd say at 130 you'd start to run into the aerodynamic wall. This was with a front air dam. I hear-tell these Z's get a little loose up front over 120 without one.

More Doheny BBQ Photos
Since everyone seemed to enjoy my photos of last week's show, there's more on the web. Katy was there with her camera. Not surprising, as she's at most SoCal Car shows. www.katysnest.com/datsun-BBQ-Oct24 And the Dimequarterly has updated their site with a show report www.dimequarterly/2004DohenyBBQ

Iron Mask 1
LZ20B !?!? Really? just this car? I thought (for sure) that this model was FJ fitted. I was told, the FJ was developed for the racing program, and that's why they built the bottom end so robust. Did I get it wrong, Alan?

Used Type A 14 by 7j Watanabe wheels
I was looking at the Works when I was shopping. I was a bit diconscerned that they did not have a specs page that listed the size/width/offset (s) availible. BTW, that roadster photo Must be photoshopped. The only way to get that much lip under a roadster would be to shorten the axles/tub the body or flair the fenders like crazy.

??? Electronic Igniter???
Nancy, being from the wrench-and-ball-pean school of mechanics, the only way I know to test them is have another one to swap out! Speaking of that, the pick-a-part down in Carson has quite a few nissans with the same module. Take a shorty phillups screwdriver and your ready to harvest a "Test" module.

So you think you can Autocross?
I didn't know a lotus 7 could bend in the middle. That was far out. Couldn't see the mini one, dam company network firewall.

Restored 67.5 SRL
Yes, Black/Red was a very common Roadster color and was original for this very car. I almost bought this one when it first came up for sale. It was a bit of a mess. Andrew, the owner, has spent over $50K to bring her up to this level.
