wow, copycat. Chase made all the posts.

1978-83 280ZX forum and 1983-89 300ZX forum.

The guy doesn't even know the years they were produced.

Theres like 3 members of that forum. Chase, Premoz, and dwight. At least thats all I saw in my brief looking. Pretty lame. I never got why people make a forum when one already exists for the exact same subject....unless they got banned.

Wasted IP addresses...

Hi guys, that site was not an attempt to copy cat or fake a forum. I just started it earlier this year and was hoping to get it started. Most of the posts are just me (user: chase) trying to populate the forum to get discussion going.

I am a full-time web developer and have been a Z guy for a few years now. I started a 300zx forum a few years but was too busy to maintain it, so I decided to give it another go as a general Z forum. I have several other popular forums and wanted to get another good Z site going.

This was just an honest attempt to establish another Z forum. There are a ton out there, I had actually never been on Zdriver.com until earlier this year when I saw it was already well established (unfortunately after I purchased the .net domain and setup the forum).

As far as the inaccurate info for the model years, I was going off of Wikipedia and other Z sites I casually browsed. I've always been more of a Z32 buff. And also, for that I listed internationally, 90-99 since they stopped production in Japan in 99. I'm aware they stopped in 96 in the US I've owned 4 of them now.

So yeah, hope you guys understand. I was not banned from any other sites, I actually know the guys that run 3zb, and have crossed paths with more than a few tt.net vendors and members over the years. I just build websites for people for my 9-5 and always like to make a few sites for my personal hobbies and interests. In this case, Z cars

*whew* Damn for a little while i was thinking "Oh god, this could turn into a huge **** storm..."

I've always had great past experiences with other Z'ers, so I was hoping we could talk things out without too much flaming.

The Z community is one of my favorites, that's whats kept me in the scene for so long. My slicktop build has been going on for way too long, but I bought a house mid-way through last year so I have to prioritize. At 22 that's pretty hard but I try to stay focused. I WANT TO MOD THE Z!! Or at least finish the build..

Ha, sure thing NismoPick. Either way, clean looking 280zx. Most of the 280's I've seen have had a hard life.
