Angry A Story for the Ages.

So i picked up my Z last night all was well i drove her nearly 30 miles home just to find out i was running on zero oil.
the best part was this morning when i wake up super excited for work to show off the z when i go to open the door with my key...snap!

so now im patiently waiting for the locksmith to get me into my car however ive lost a days of work so its all bad.. i took some pics of her.. let me know what u guys think. Ill put up motor pics once i get her open..

Well that should teach you a leason - open the door with the handle instead... You don't need a locksmith - it's a Datsun so you just need another Datsun key, bobby pin, popsicle stick, stare hard at the lock and think about it opening, etc....

Congrats on the car though - she looks great. Personally I think the S130 looks it's finest in red. That will eventually be the colour I end up painting my keeper.

Are you sure you were running on zero oil? I can't imagine it would drive a few block before it siezed up let alone 30 miles with no oil....

That looks clean as hell nice, and about the oil yeah is it empty on the dipstick or is it showing no pressure on the old gauge with the sending unit that's known for showing eff all.

Thanks fellas. When I got home she was completley empty on the dip stick idk what was up. And I ended up going to a locksmith with both key pieces and thank god it worked. Mobile locksmiths were trying to charge me 260$ I ended up paying 4$ and had triple a open the car for me for free! Hell of a morning...

Overall though I'm super stocked with the car 10 years to get my dream car and it was well worth it.
