Vintage-TechZ

THEMES.........I think a theme/style is crucial in a cars final attitude. Even though every single one of does it differently....you can ALWAYS tell how well someone thought their plan for the car out. (Vince..shut it ! ) The Green Mettalic 73' Turbo now has Veilside 3-piece wheels,Veilside steering wheel,Veilside stainless exhaust,leather interior,Titanium and stainless hardware,insulated like a Lexus for sound ,even the interior plastics are fabric covered and insulated.(who cares,right ?) I just wanted Vintage basic lines and trim mixed with tight handling,smooth power,no rattles/squeaks, air con.,power windows,power locks ,hidden sound system etc. Vintage mixed with some later tech>theme ! 8) Soon to be wearing a barrage of Carbon Fiber goodies !! (after I get everyone else's done... ) The early 260 is all Old school parts,triple Mikuni's,turbo blow through,Centerlines,roll bar,Tenzo-R rally seats (ok,not so OS) .................................................Vince

Knowing how expensive some of those RC's can be,I'm pretty sure after checking on the girl/wife, I would ..without pause beat the owner with the car til' I was in jail !lol. Get to work,Mike....................Vince 8)

I hate to admit it when I pee my pants !lol Good one JMORTENSEN ! ..........Vince 8)

Now you might be aware of your CLEAR conscience ! She will either be jealous of your newfound strength and try to draw you back into the abiss OR.........learn NEW respect for you and perhaps find some for herself ,.......not today....but in a few years ! Well done,(minus the hood stunt) Life OFTEN comes down to manipulation of time....and not always your own. Beware of others who do not bring quality to the time they share with you,particularly the me me me me me me me me types ! 1 out of 10 can EVER find the tools in life to fix a portion of screwed psychology ! READ: PORTION !! Best of Luck Mike finding a more complete girl/woman you DESERVE,your a nice guy ! ...............Vince 8)

James...I trust you DID recieve the Tomei Stainless exhaust gasket that I shipped you guys ??Hope it made it unbent ! Man thats looking SO tough !! Can you give a quick run down of the internal mods along with your touches ?? Can't wait to hear that thing growl ! .........Vince 8)

There's a BIG difference in being STUPID from INDECISIVE ! There is a POINT when TOO much input is a WASH for decision making however ! So just flush it ! And take a good look down the road at where you REALLY want to spend your time and have a QUALITY life in the end ! And I meant" putting up with ALL of our asses " ...............Vince 8)

Well I see your STILL poking at this horse ?! Thats fine...your a cautious young man,thats fine too ! But LIFE has a way of working out for each of us IF you work just as hard for it ! And reading between the lines of the HEART and MIND are a skill developed over experiance and witness. There is NO cheating there ! Those of you out there that feel the need to screw your way through those lessons with woman simply give a bad report from woman exposed to that side of mankind. Men who use the phrase " FUCKEM & FUCKOFF " are generally the same men that have BAD bussiness practices and lack many things that they don't have the ear to hear or care to learn. Your integrity as a man speaks volumes to others but is always subject to critisism . But as we ALL have said to you in one way or another.........choose your mates with not only what you FEEL,but what you have inside to offer them (forever) and viceaversa .I have made a point to question aged old couples who appear to still Love each other and I ask them" what is it that makes it work for SO long" ? And the answer is almost ALWAYS the same." God comes first,and take on a mate that is EQUAL in ALL ways to your self. Mentally, spiritually, eb and flow of your natures and MORALS ! If your not a termultious type (gets juiced from havic) then don't subject yourself to something your not built for,and most likely you'd know it by now MIke. Everyone have a Happy Thanksgiving, and give extra thanks to those people who have put up with your ass all these years !! .......................Vince 8)

Those old BAE kits were cool ! In fact ,for some reason I have the cast aluminum "J" pipe for the Z car BAE piping (non IC) .It's a nice piece with "BAE" lettering cast into it. If anyone is trying to be authentic and wants it I'll sell it for 40.00$ (US) plus shipping. It comes with 2 original orange conectors and clamps too ! ...............Vince 8)

Hey guys, I'm almost CERTAIN that that is a modified Kaminari air dam. Several people have them on this site,maybe they can look closely and chime-in. .................Vince 8)

Bill, We are ALL VERY sorry for your families loss. Obviously your Dad did A GREAT job in you.....in that you have learned SO WELL to appreciate so many things. Things that likely brought us ALL to this site to begin with ! I commend you on having the strengh to post this so soon to our eyes and comments. I tended to pull away when I lost Greta (my Fiance') and didn't reach out to others....BIG MISTAKE on my part. This extension of Family and its values,friendships and willingness to help can make Life a little better,more so than we realize sometimes when we reach for each other on these keyboards ! God Bless you and yours.........I'm sure I'll meet you soon,Vince Cox

The Getrag and HKS 6-speeds generally begin around 5-6 thousand US dollars when they come available (used) No kidding too ! I'll be picking 1 up for my "Widebody AWD RB-Z" too but not til' I have the change rolling around in my pocket ! ..........Vince 8)

Thanks John for being a "good sport" in all of this. I was anticipating more negative oposition actually ! Your responses are well warranted and thus I look forward to meeting you someday in my frequent travels. Sorry about the mathmatical error too !lol. I didn't mean for that to look like "yellow journalism",but it did. Of course I have NO intention doing hoods for the Z that are already in existance or are others original designs (eg; Cowl).I feel it in the best interest for all involved that everyone will find the style they prefer more easily if there are more "CHOICES" and less "COMPETION" in our construction efforts. (don't you ?) So here we go ,lets "git er' done". ....................Vince 8)

Well' date=' then they don't know about mine: http://www.betamotorsports.com/products/index.html and if you need it to bolt onto the stock hood hinges and use the stock hood latch: Good point John C........So the ONLY other option out there is The hoods farmed out for JohnC, that are 1044.00$ in Clear coated CF that have a back sub-structure ! John,are these something the customer pulls from the carton ,attatch the factory hardware,and then simply "bolt right on" ??With NO other work needed ? And "yes" POUNDS9, hood is here and is looking good !Between your "Warrior" hood and the other three designs I have for "Vintage Tech Z" line-up,I think EVERYONE will have something they like as long as they do want original designs on the "factory Hood" base. So feel free to E-mail me with serious inquiries or pre-orders. Thanks for chiming in JohnC ! ..................Vince

..........and the Tenth reason why NOT to buy bolts of fabric at garage sales is..........................????????? But I guess who are we to knock "self expression" Huh ?? lol. later,Vince

yes sir old man.. its gonna be funn why i smoke your "badass 4x4 "lol" Z" in the Hulk.. ya thats right im calling you OUT old timer! Muhahahah ! Better bring a box for when I hand you your ass !!hahahaha. I just Love this punk trash talk ,don't you...MICKEY,oh,eh...I meant Mike !lol. Play nice now boys...Vince's Syclone is box stock,and your Z has had it ALL done ! Cheater Besides ,I'll have it sold by the time "the Hulk" is near my soil. Hence saving the SOIL in your drawers !! ....................Vinceinator-Z

ahhaha so what your running the show now vince? bought some tools and beer today, so Z wont be worked on for awhile ahahhahahahaha mike When was I not ??? lol......................hahaha ! Now git the hell out of my Sandbox BOIY ! ..............Vince

i can hot tank it for free too, i just need to get the whole motor out and apart by tomorrow.. Git er done BOIY ! NO BEER TIL' ITS OUT ON THE FLOOR AND APART You'll feel GREAT by then and when it comes out of that tank you won't have that SLEDGE filled "boat anchor" to mess with and wonder whats going to sludge it up quickly again later ! Just DO IT ! ....................................... git a gallon of cheap "wash Laquer Thinner" and soak your rods and pistons in it tl' its time to hand clean and inspect them for "re-ringing"...etc,etc. Do'nt forget to chase/tap ALL of your used block bolt holes and air hose them out good ! Everybody hit him in the noggin' with this stuff ! He's stubborn......and git' a damn J. O. B. son....... lol. with LOVE MOTHER !

Looks even better now James (of course ) I think it would certainly confuse a "Lab Rat " though ! lol. Just curious to the final "WEIGHT" of the header ?? Were you after a "Equal Length" header in the end as well,or mainly just "Packaging" where you wanted it in front of the shock tower ?? ..................Vince

Joel.....have you tried :HYSPECO yet.? I buy all of my Vacuum and pressure fittings from them ...at least at my local store. Maybe they have a Dot com ?? ,..........Vince

They do have another "REAR" flare that has about 2" more than a standard ZG flare. It is available through only a few distributers in Japan. You'll be glad to hear I have a set being repaired somewhat for mold making in the near future ! It's interesting how subtle the visual difference's are until you hold them side by side. But it looks as if it would cover a 10"-13" wheel ! I'll post pix when I get the chance...............Vince

OK I showed mine now you show yours.. Anyone else doing anything RB related that might be of intrest to others.. Jeff Yeah,But,but but, I uh,not ummm. Not there yet ! I'm just too darn pre-occupied at the moment (moments) ,Vince your stuff looks great Jeff.........is it Stateside yet ??

Very nice JT ! Did you get to use 321 SS this time ? Much different than 304-316 L ?? Can't wait to get around to doin' up my RB26DETT AWD Z. I just LOVE seeing you guys "Gittin Er done" ! 8) ................Vince

It's funny how with the CF tail panel thread going,and all the CF hood orders I've been taking via e-mail,that no one has thought maybe Vintage Tech Z might have those ?? Well fellas,guess what ?, molds have been ready for over 4 years ! So just let me know via e-mail if your interested ....they won't be much more than MSA or Classic Datsun sells there standard ZG fiberglass ones, so let me know....... I also have molds for the 2-piece G-nose,but ask me about those via e-mail as well..........thanks,Vince
