Hey Jeff Young.....

[JeffYoung]

Excellent! Slicktop and with an engine?

In a couple of years, I'll need some advice from you. Good luck with the build..can't wait to see the car.

[zracre]

nice! More ITR cars the better!

[Tristan Smith]

Yep, found a slicktop, with a motor. I have to fix some body damgae, but it's not too terrible. I am looking forward to the build. I will probably just run the motor as is for a while, to see what this beast will be like. I am excited about the project.

Tristan, wish I had seen this thread earlier. The old ITS 300ZX that was built by Larry Stepp and later owned by Mike Fitzgerald is languishing unloved beside the OPM Autosports shop. A lot of the goodies have disappeared over the years, but the basic car is still all there and good to rebuild from. I'd give Tom a call over there and see what the deal is.

I recall the old Steve McCarley "Udder Car" being around as well. There was talk of rebuilding the car for historics, but this car is pretty well worn out and may only be suitable for parts. If interested, I am sure I can locate Steve and find out about it.

Thanks Bob. Those are both ITS Z31 cars. I am going to try the ITR Z32 route. It'll be interesting to see what this car will do.

Have fun with the Z32. From what I know about these cars the one thing that will need paying attention to is the brakes. They're big and heavy.

Well, if anyone is looking for a Z31 version of the 300ZX, now you know where there is a good ITS tub with cage and all to start with. This car used to be one of the nicest cars on the track.

I think the Fitzgerald car got sold last year some time and parted out, Timo944 correct me if I'm wrong. I also have 2 1984 hardtops for sale. One is a tub only and the other is a very early car in tact that has VIN# 001349 built in 08/83 if anybody is interested in a good street car. Chris

You know (as an owner of a to be Z32 ITR car), I have heard this about the brakes several times, but having looked at them they seem like they are of sufficient size (both rotor and pad) to handle things.

Has anyone here tracked an N/Z Z32? Compared to other cars at its race weight (3200 lbs or so), the car looks like it has decent equipment on the brake side of things.
