It didn't "die" lol it is still here. I work 50-60 hours a week and have plenty other work when I get home. It is now past 3 in the morning and the first time that I've been able to get on here in a while. I'm going to get a full history report on the Fairlady from the link Tony D gave me. I'll do that in a couple of weeks or so and relay the info on to you guys.
For what it is worth, I phone an old cell phone of mine and the phone number to the second owner was still in the phone. I contacted that number and it is still Mr Stephens! But here is the sad part... His original story of it belonging to an air force buddy in Europe, well, he said that honestly all he knows is that he owned the Fairlady and did the mods. He doesn't remember the original owner, what country it came from, who he sold it to, or anything. Pretty useless info there. And pretty disheartening. However, like I said, I will use that link to see who brought her out of Japan. The VIN def indicates a pure Japanese Fairlady so stayed tuned!
And due to my busy schedule, def won't be any real updates in the next week or so, so don't get your panties in a bunch!
