At least I can call my car a Datsun, because it says it on the back.
I've owned zx's for about 12 plus years, in recent times the car get noticed ALOT more! I think this is due to the lack of them on the road and the newer generations not knowing the s130.
Also, more guys are like, yea I had one of those, great car!
The eighties were fun for a lot of folks, and this car was a piece of that era!
Its age is giving it that fine wine taste.
This car is really great DD, it can be track-able of course, but its comfort just makes it seem a little out of place in stock condition.
I've considered putting my n47 head, headers, bullfrog cam, ms and meth injec. on my zx and giving it to my wife. (all I have to do is get the ecu, I hoping next year)
Then getting another z or zx. If I can get a z, I will not have to do battle just to go to the store, I will borrow my wifes car
The car I built will probably pound my brains, (esp with our roads here), stink, and leave me stranded more often, but hey when you own "race" car what do you expect!
The problem with these two cars, s30/s130, is they are so close, yet so different.
You really don't see this much between the other z's that followed.
In the end the s130 held it's own, and now it's making a come back! (thanks to the s30 guys useing them as donors, hence rearer)
So my hat is off to all those s30 guys!
One other thing, around here there are some bone stock s30's that are mint. Not that pretty, (bone stock). Bike tires with some terrible hub caps, puke.
The s130 had better styling, bone stock. On the other hand, change a few things and WOWOWOWOWOW! That s30 is one hot ticket.
I really need to see hugh's and other s130's next to some s30's in person to figure for my self.
