Default Hello!

My name is travis, I've been using this site for sometime, but just now started checking out the forums. I am a car enthusiast, the datsun/nissan Z cars in particular. I've had two, a z32 2+2 which I had for about a year, pictured here...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v224/Travbabble/aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.jpg

I recently traded it for this
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v224/Travbabble/300zxT/myz.jpg
a 1986 300zx turbo, MUCH faster (running 10psi). As soon as I get back from basic training though, I plan on buying a z32 twin turbo, because those rock.

Yeah, that's him. Mention a Z32 and he won't shut up images/smilies/tongue.gif (I'm just as bad with AW11 MR2's though)

I love z's because A. They are relatively cheap for the performance you get, and B. In the z31's case, no-one knows what they are, so when you race, people have no idea what to expect. I truely love the Z line, my dad sold Z's, and my mom had a 240 for a long time! I only sold the z32 because it needed alot of work that I wasnt able to do right now due to time constraints, plus I want a twin turbo lol! I moderate a z31 forum to boot, and it was getting embarrassing not having one....

you can say that again

i never saw this car before

i thought they had the 240z, the 260z, the 280z, and then made the 300zx, but that wasn't what they expected to be and abandoned the line (until the 350z showed up)

(or is there also a 300z images/smilies/unsure.gif)

I hear ya, 300ZXs are t3h rox0r. images/smilies/thumbup.gif They're comfortable enough for eating up the highway, and fast enough for attacking the mountains, and they're sexy to boot. Hope you get that Twin Turbo soon!

Bone, the lineup went from 280Z to 280ZX, then to the first-gen 300ZX (known as the Z31) then to the second-gen 300ZX (Z32) before the break. There was no 300Z, that's just a typo; in the crappy streetracing put-body-kits-on-shit video game Juiced, there's a "300Z", and it's infuriating to no end. images/smilies/mad.gif
