Hello, Nice to meet you, I'm in America, and I have 2 S30Z's. I do speak and read Japanese, but I'm not good at typing it yet. I did live in Japan for about 7 years, 3 years in Okinawa, and 4 years in Osaka. Right now I live in CT, USA.
My red Z is a 1974 260Z, built for drifting and autocross. I built almost everything on the car. L28 bored over, FI swap, 240sx TB, Port and polished head, F54 block and a P90 head. 5 speed transmission, ACT clutch, ACT 6 puck racing disk, Nismo 2 way LSD, R-180 4.11 diff. Seats, and harness, and some decent flares. I have way too many wheels and tires, and I'm constantly buying more.
My White Z is a 1976 280Z, built for HPDE's, track and road race courses. Too many parts to really list, but it is fully set up with everything from a turbo to Bilsteins, R200 LSD, and more wheels and tires.
I hope to make a few friends here and when I come to Japan to visit we can hang out and have some fun. I still have a lot of work to do to my cars, but who doesn't...hehe
Nice Hakosuka, I love them. And that red Z next to it is what my white Z will look like after this spring. I just got some Works overfenders, :) but no nose airdamn :(
Plus I got a set of wheels, 15" 10j & 12j with 245/35 front and 345/35 rear that is going on the white Z.
Hello AIRJOCKIE.
It is terrible that it is cost most of work by oneself. But You are happy. Because oneself works by oneself little by little, I understand the pleasure.
My car is Z of a model of 1970, I have trouble with a supply of a part in an initial model.
Let's do its best each other.
Then again.
I do all the work myself when I have time. Right now I'm playing around with building and swapping in an engine into my old 1987 CRX, The civic that's in my galleries. Time is the hard part. また、よろしく

I have the fenders, but no nose piece. If someone can find one, and ship it to me in America, then I can paypal them some money, and a little extra to make it worth thier time. また、よろしく

I've seen that car all the time on the web, and I love it. I'm trying to make the same style of it over here in America. It's hard to do since the parts are so hard to find. and I love the ITB's that you made for the engine. How much more performance do those add over stock? America doesn't sell any tires in that size for the rears :( I wish I could have found a pair in that size, but only found the 345/35zr15's...so thats what I bout...I wanted the hiparri look, but they turned out to the normal look when installed. また、よろしく
Hi if you are in the states, try to look for the early('71~'72) 240z chassis they're lighter than the later years. I am glad to see someone from the US in this community. Keep up the great work on the cars.

Thank you, yes I am looking for an older 240Z to swap everything over from my white Z, the white Z suffered a rear end love tap recently. Plus that shell has been raced at Walken's Glen for over 7 years its tired and worn out. And it's cool to see someone else reply to this thread in English. :)
