Hello Glen,

I really admire you folks overseas that have these or any foreign cars as I know how difficult resourcing what you need is and the cost related. I was here in 2013-2014 and really curious to know who's car that was and how it ended up in Japan, then New Zealand. Funny you mention it, I have a friend from New Zealand that has lived here for a long time and he is an auto exporter shipping cars here in Japan all over the world. Basically cars over 5 years old are gotten rid of. I'll have to mention to him the next time we meet. I'm pretty sure this Z won't be going back to the US, but I might give it up in about 5 years. There is no market here for our cars. Thanks for sharing.
Craig

Hi Tom
When I painted the top of my engine I did it in bass coat clear coat so I paint the silver first then I tried to paint the black with a brush all it did was make gray so I then clear coated over the hole manifold once dry I sanded the whole lot down with 400 sand paper then I masking taped the area of and painted it when dry I sanded the excess paint of then clear coated over the hole manifold once again here is a photos of the job hopefully this makes sense

Dave, I have no clue, as that is Glen's plenum. I also did not take notice until you just pointed that out. Hopefully he will see the post and respond. I would imagine that would need a repair. It's weird as it appears in one pic and not the other. So maybe it was repaired before he put the final finish on the plenum...

How did you get that "ZR-1" on your air horn? That is awesome.
Is it hand painted? Decal?

[gtcollins@maxnet.co.nz]
