This site hasn’t been updated in a little while, mainly because I’ve been working overseas. However in my spare time I’ve been setting up a new website for classic japanese car enthusiasts. The website Classic and Vintage Japanese Cars - VintageJDM is aimed at enthusiasts for early pre-85 Japanese cars. You can upload photo to our gallery, participate in our forum and even start your own project blog, just like this one.

As the site is still very new, I’m working out some kinks, but invite you to register and introduce yourself. If you have any friends with classic japanese cars, be sure to also let them know. We can use all the members we can get.

Update: I’ve compiled a list of useful books for Z owners here.

Recently I’ve been stumped as to what I can do to refresh my 240z. The most obvious choice is to buy everything from NOS (New Old Stock) or OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer). However there’s only one problem with that, it’s so damn expensive especially if you are trying to buy alot of these parts through a nissan dealer or from the states. Now obviously some items will need to be bought new no doubt about it. However I am hoping the How to restore your Zcar book will provide some insights into refreshing and refurbishing original items.
