Sup guys and gals
Sup people, I am back. Been a crazy past couple of weeks. My Turbo is gone, my porch is clean, we have a new shed in the backyard and the yard is cleaned up. I have been having computer problems also being that it sucks ***. I guess when you overclock a computer you stress components a weee bit. It did take it about 4 years to break though so that's not too bad. I should have me a new computer here real soon even though it is an (shudder) HP. I am not big on buying name brand computers...I prefer to build them myself as alot of store bought computers are lacking in the upgradeable area and tend to be loaded down with trial software and or Norton crap and or McAfee crap.
This new computer shows a little promise...Athalon 64 X2, 1 gig of ram (upgradeable to 4 gig) 200 gig hard drive (sATA) DVD dual layer burner with lightscribe (sATA) an open PCI E x16 slot...has an onboard nVidia graphics chip. USB 2.0's, Firewire, a whole lot of connections. Best of all the factory motherboard in this HP is made by Asus...it might be overclockable!! I will of course wipe out the hard drive and put in my own operating system...though it comes with media center in it...I have never used that...not sure if I want to.
My drivers license is now suspended...stupid DMV and insurance company...I told my insurance company to cancel cause I was scrapping the car...they did not listen so my license got terminated. BASTARDS!! Anyway...that is my story as of right now...my life sucks.

sounds just like my laptop, exatcly the same other than the hard drive, i think i got a 180gig or somthing, and you can wipe it clean, but then you do loose alot of your sweet windows things, media center isnt a very cool thing though. just the new media player and if you edit videos windows movie maker and of coarse vista. you can restore it though by hitting a few keys in the start up screen. forgot what though.

fuel injection system was added. Heavier impact absorbing bumpers were added in 1975 (USA markets only). A 5-speed manual transmission was added as an option for the USA in 1977.
In 1975, larger, longer and heavier bumpers also known as "park benches" were added to meet strict safety standards.
In 1977 & 1978, Datsun offered a couple special edition models one being the "Black Pearl". The Black Pearl edition (produced only in 1978) came with Black Pearl paint and a "Special Appearance Package" (SAP), which consisted of dual racing mirrors, rear window louvers and a unique red and silver stripe-kit. It is estimated that somewhere between 750-1500 of these cars were produced. The "Zap" was offered in 1977 as a "Special Decor Package" edition with bright yellow paint and a big black stripe down the center and full length on the sides, with yellow, red and orange chevrons at front end of the stripes. It estimated that only 1000 "Zap Z" cars were offered in 1977 nation wide. The "Zap Z" model was also used as the pace car in the 1977 Long Beach Gran Prix.
Other non USA markets continued to receive the 260Z with the L26. Also, 280Z 2+2--the two-door, four-seat model.
The 280Z, although quite heavy and smog-controlled in stock form due to government regulations, was and is easily modified, with performance equaling much newer sports cars. For instance, simply removing the heavy front bumper and adding a front spoiler corrects the otherwise jittery high-speed handling of the stock version. Further, a great variety of aftermarket parts are available to, in effect, bring the 280Z back in line with the ethic of the early Z-cars, such as free-flowing exhaust/header kits and the installation of a 280zx turbo. The 280Z was a remarkable confluence of (1) a lightweight sports-car body and suspension relatively unchanged (sans bumpers) since 1970, and (2) a powerful and efficient engine similar in type to other great sportscars of various manufacture (approx. 3 litre, 12 Valve, straight six w/single overhead cam; e.g. Toyota Supra, BMW 3.0cs).
The S30 series Z car was replaced in 1979 by the S130 Nissan 280ZX

This is a sold in Japan only model Fairlady Z that was equipped with the twin cam 2.0L inline 6 cylinder "S20" engine shared with the KPGC10 Skyline GT-R. The Z432R was orange with black steel wheels and a low luster black hood. Z432R had lighter front guards, doors and bonnet and engine go faster bits than the Z432.

240ZG
The HS30-H Nissan Fairlady 240ZG was released in Japan in October 1971 to homologate the 240Z for Group 4 racing. Differences between the 240ZG and an export market Datsun 240Z include an extended fiberglass ‘aero-dyna’ nose, wider over-fenders riveted to the body, a rear spoiler, acrylic glass headlight covers and fender mounted rear view mirrors. The 240ZG was available in three colours: Grande Prix Red, Grande Prix White and Grande Prix Maroon. The "G" in 240ZG stands for "Grande." Although the ZG was never sold outside Japan, in order for it to be eligible for competition in the US, Nissan sold the nose kit as a dealer's option which is known as the "G-nose".

1974 Nissan 260Z 2+2 (European nomenclature)The S30 Nissan/Datsun 240Z (known in Japan as the Fairlady Z and later in other markets as the 260Z and 280Z) are sports cars produced by Nissan Motors, Ltd. of Japan in the 1970s. HLS30 was the designation of the left-hand drive model and HS30 for the right-hand drive model. The 240Z was introduced in 1969 with a 2.4 liter straight-6 engine, rear wheel drive, and a stylish coupe body. The engine, based on the Datsun 510's 4-cylinder produced 150 hp (112 kW) and came with a 5-speed manual transmission (USA model received a 4 speed manual). A 4 wheel independent suspension consisted of MacPherson struts in front (borrowed from the Datsun Laurel C30) and Chapman struts in back. Front disc brakes & rear drums were standard.
Production began in 1969, the 1970 240Z was introduced to the American market by Yutaka Katayama, president of Nissan Motors USA operations, widely known as 'Mr. K'. The early 1970 model 240Z had a chrome "240" badge on the B-pillar quarter panel. Two vents were included in the rear hatch below the glass molding. In mid-1971 the B-pillar side badges were restyled with the letter Z in white, and the vents were eliminated from the hatch. Design changes for the US model occurred throughout production and are described Design and Manufacturing Changes to the U.S. Spec
The 240Z and 260Z used twin one-barrel side-draft SU-like carburetors. The carburetors were changed beginning with model year 1973 to comply with emissions regulations, but the earlier carburetors were far superior for performance. Fuel injection (L-Jetronic electronic fuel injection, designed by Bosch) was added for the 280Z in 1975. This was primarily in order to cope with the difficulty faced in getting enough power using carburetors while still meeting US emissions regulations.
Due to its relatively low price compared to other foreign sports cars of the time (Jaguar and Porsche), it became hugely popular in the U.S. and was a major success for the Nissan Motor Corporation, which at the time sold cars in North America under the name Datsun. The 240Z also broadened the image of Japanese car-makers beyond their econobox success. The Z was very successful in racing in the 1970s (Bob Bondurant and his (Brock Racing Enterprises)BRE racing team, with John Morton driving a Datsun 510, number 46, was particularly successful). The Z is also credited as a catalyst for the current import performance parts industry.
In 2004, Sports Car International named this car number two on the list of Top Sports Cars of the 1970s.
