Which car would you buy to upgrade from your Z?
PLATA replied to afbrian13's topic in Non Tech Board
To me a nice clean and sorted Z are a hard act to fallow , but an alternative toy for me will be a Zo6 Corvette . -
1991 Nissan Gloria , now in storage in Kobe Japan till Aug , by then a legal import under the 25yr rule , arriving late Sept .

A new to me vintage DATSUN is on its way , not a Z but the junior kin is on its way , a 1973 1200 fastback that will become my new money pit . Pictures will be posted as soon as it gets to my pad , here is the vision that I have in mind for my new toy >>>> this is the actual car >>>

^^^^ Very happy with this one , clean , no rust with 80K kilometers .

These are interesting cars, the racing history on them is like chapter two of the old victorious 510 of the 70's here in the US and in other corners of the world. 25yrs ago this was terror on race tracks with plenty wins . They came in sedan and coupe just like the DIME did and mods are plenty doable mimicking its older brother. Mine is a sedate version of the family, and what I like is that GODZILLA is part of its DNA.

Ebay is a good source for these .
-
A keeper, this was a hunt , hard to find an unmolested with no rust R32 . Plans are to do very few mods, will do intake , delete the cat and a stereo upgrade.

Finally here after a long wait >>>
-
Car is home , it was released this Wednesday , had some issues since it is an 1991 model , no big deal in getting the built date from Nissan , the boys from US Customs are not very friendly but it all worked out . She is tagged , registered , insured and ready for the season .

^^^ Now a have two modern Datsun's, a clean sedan with a RB20DE and a clean coupe with the RB20DET Type M , in my book money well spent , is what I do , my money my vice my enjoyment.
-
^^^ In Tokyo Japan car are less expose to real harsh weather , clean cars with valid SHAKEN are less of a risk and an abuse or neglected R32 are easy to detect . The Canadian option seems more risky , salty cars and abuse prone . This one is a one owner dealer serviced with all records from day one and valid inspection .

one more for my herd.

BTW, the Z in topic, a nice wallet and lots of patience are key tools. Good luck on your Z adventure.
