Hey Tristan,
What's up, are you in need of a car? I helped Jeff offload the Z a few weeks ago, pretty cool and would make a good race car. Be some work for ITR status but I think you could handle it easily.

I think the 240sx is totaled, and if not, a lot more money and work than I may want to put back in it. So I am considering my options. I screwed up at turn 6 and hit the wet grass. The only thing stopping me at that point was the wall. It did too. It was all driver error and that's what hurts the most. Dumb, dumb! Dumb. Not much I can do now.

Tristan, I'm sorry to hear that. Main thing is you're ok - cars can be replaced. Interested in a older Z car? We know of one that has a beautiful modern cage (about 6 months old, Competition Cages), nice body, just waiting for someone to assemble it. Has all the parts.

Not too interested in that old of a Z. They are great cars, but it's getting hard to find stuff for a 20 year old 240sx! I don't want to know what it's like for a Z of that vintage, ha. Besides I already have a vintage Datsun. I am not sure what's next. If I had 4 g's lying around I may have considered the 240sx that GA pointed out, but for that kind of money I could probably reclip the front of my car. So who knows. Sigh.

Damn Chris, ya beat me to it (you need to go back to work)
It's a way of life. You just have to spend your life on the interwebs. (see above... and he already has a warehouse full of the damn things)

Tristan I have the '86 300ZX still. Now that I am re-assembling the 944 I might unload it. It runs well, needs two Koni shocks, or rebuild them. It's all legal and up to date. I got hit in Kershaw in the RF wheel and it broke the strut and bent up the fender but I have the parts to repair them.
Let me know if you're intersted. It's a pretty good car now that I got the bugs worked out - probably good for 1:44 at RA with new tires.

Thanks Tim, but I have found a 300zx. The build will commence shortly. It's a 1991 Z32 zx.

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.

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.

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.
