I got the Z in 2010 and had a ton of fun with her. I got to drive her for two seasons in autocross with my club. On this blog you can read about my seat restoration, picking out parts, driving around the state to get used Datsun stuff, and work that I got to do on her. I love just time getting my hands dirty.
I won my autocross class (Street Touring R - STR) in 2010, but didn't get back to the trophy range cause the car started to struggle. She had fuel pressure issues, and try as I might things just got worse. New fuel pump, nothing. Dropped and cleaned the fuel tank, nothing. Took it to a local mechanic, nothing. At that point it was over my head what was wrong so she sat waiting for help.
Then I changed jobs, got too busy to work on her, and then she got put under a cover and sat... each year I thought, this year I will have time (and $) to get her running... well as you can see from the time stamp on the posts... neither happened. I work in non-profit world and have three kids, its hard to save money to get her the work she probably needs. So fingers crossed that we can get her back on the street.Well so today she got towed, Tony's came and got her for me and hauled her off to EurAsia Import Specialists. They have a Datsun Master Mechanic there who will finally get to the bottom of my baby's issues. Hopefully I can afford to get her fixed...
So for now the garage has a big empty hole, where my Z used to be. Well now a major cleaning and organizing of the garage can happen. So lets do that while I take my mind off my baby being gone...
