New Member Introductions

Greetings Everyone, I just bought a 2024 Nissan Z. It's my 3rd Z. I previously had 1992 300ZX TT (first car ever bought in 1998, I couldn't afford to keep up the car, sold it) and a 2007 350Z (totaled when I was hit by a drunk driver on NYE).

Welcome! I’m in the same boat as you! My Z is my 3rd one as I owned a Z32 and Z33

Hello, I'm new to the whole classic car thing! You can call me Duncan.
I've recently come into two 240Zs that were my father's. I'm not a car person, and unsure what to do with them, but I would like to get one of them up and running.

These are them in their current state. Just got most of the junk off and from around them.

That's awesome Duncan. I see lots of potential in these two and a California license plate with '94 tags on the red car. Is that a ZONC (Z Owners of Northern California) jacket or car accessory in the front seat?

It may be wise to reach out to https:https://zonc.org/zonc-board/ for assistance or potential history in case your father might have been a ZONC member at the time.

That's a good point! That secondary car (which I'm sure is a parts car) has a ZONC sticker in the window too. He was their treasurer in at least 1991. I'll see about getting in touch with them.

Look at all that room in the engine bay! And those skinny little A pillars. Cars have changed so much.

2 time Z owner. 2004 Lemans Sunset 350z and new 2024 Seiran Blue Z. Both 6 speed manuals

 

[trackratZ]

Great color choices @Mtenbarge Congrats!! Still love that Sunset orange when I see it.

 

[Resnort]

The Blue interior is beautiful.

Thanks for the add.
Here is my BananZ, Acquired 2 months ago with 34km on the clock.
First time Z owner but always liked them, particularly the old 240Z.
I have owned an R33 skyline in the past and while looking to get another I realized the price of those old cars is just crazy and went with a new car with warranty and mod cons instead.

The new Z in the most retro 90's looking car that can be bought new and ever since the proto was announced I've been excited by the idea of possibly owning one.

So I finally made the decision and when I went to test drive, to my surprise they had a Proto sitting in the showroom.... It was fate I guess. Haggled price, and signed the papers that day.
