This car inspires me to get that z running..

Haha yes the disease.. although it might've bitten me earlier as my father's first car was a 240... either way I'm down to learn.
If this darn -35 weather would just die and get warm i could go out...

sweetness, hopefully i'll run into those z owners in the summer! be sure to shoot me a pm and drop by the Nissan dealership! I could probably swing some free detailing ^.^

wow! that's a great before and after!

is the common opinion that the flat tops were more reliable than the round? or something to that effect?

cool, i guess those would be bridges to cross at a later time.
yeah, definitely dig the jdm look..
here are a few pictures of that 280z..

tell me what you think?
