On my 3rd Z.
Gone up the food chain with a 77 280Z, 83 280ZX and now an 84 300ZX 50th with 17K. Multiple show winner and all original. Finding a mechanic is easy...just look for the old guy at any Nissan dealer :)

The suspension geometry did that.
In a 200SX with worn shocks (redundant), you could practically slam the fuel tank into the ground by pogoing the suspension with throttle application. Touching the throttle would suck the suspension up to the bumpstop.
I love these cars! I currently own 11 of them!
In reply to Knurled. :
Back around 2002 or so I saw an all white (white wheels too) turbo damn near slam its rear bumper off the ground on launch, and for the next 2 shifts at a (Nopi?) import drag event. It was legit fast though... ran 10s on radials.
My mom also sold them in the mid/late 80s when they were new, and she'd bring one home every once in a while. It was a pretty cool car for me back then, so I've always had a soft spot for them.
Plus... the turbos gave us that awesome hood scoop! I had one on my XR4TI To feed a top mount intercooler, and they were all the rage in the VW scene at one point too!

Welcome to the forum! Start a garage thread and tell us all about them.
It's also somewhat traditional to humblebrag about how many of them are actually registered or running. Of course those two factors are never the same number... or if they are, it is entirely coincidental
