FedEx picked up the 2 wheels at 1:20pm this afternoon. They're on their way!

Got the check, cashed it, and now am ready for the FedEx truck to pick up the wheels. ---JohnG

I DO have the original wheel and tire in the spare wheel well, but I've decided to keep it as part of the car. If you're interested in the 2 steelies hanging in my garage, let me know. --JohnG.

You know what! I haven't checked my own spare wheel well in decades. I might have a third wheel. I'll check. ---JohnG

I have two original "steelies" that I have no use for any longer. They have winter tires mounted, and are hanging in my garage. I used them in the late '70's when my 240Z was a semi daily driver. I live north of Pittsburgh, and have no need of them at all---you may have them for free, but I don't know what shipping cost would be. --John G

Jerry, I'd like to buy a set of SS straps as well as the J-bolts, for my 240Z. --JohnG

That's a good come-back, 240Zed. I forgot about the wiper water squirter motor! I don't think it was ever reconnected, come to think of it. Too busy enjoying the TORQUE.

drdiabetezx66x, No change to OUR logo....we're the ones who are right. And we certainly won't get the manufacturers to admit they're wrong. Their misuse of the term "hybrid" is too embedded by now. Just a pet peeve. ---JohnG

Here are some pics of my '71 Hybrid:

Maybe I think too much, but our use of the term "hybrid" is correct. The so-called hybrids being created by the manufacturers are not real hybrids--they are dual-powered vehicles. Webster defines "hybrid" as "anything of mixed origin". We create a true hybrid when we install a Chevy, Ford, etc. drivetrain into our Datsuns/Nissans. But now, at car cruises, when guys see the "Hybrid Z--When Stock Just Don't Cut It" decal on the rear-quarter window of my 240Z/406, they ask "Um...does this thing have an electric motor too?" Sheeeesh. Had to get this off my chest. Keep up the good work, guys!

It's been about five years now since I last asked...anybody else in western PA have their V8 Datsun Z on the road yet? If so, Email me back with details. Mine's runnin' better than ever. --John G (Butler, PA)
