I'm waiting to hear the current status as Jeff and I spoke last night about this very subject. Johnny's friends might be in Okinawa and I heard airline from Japan (mainland) to Okinawa cost more that Japan to Hawaii. Yeah, with some connection there are military ships and aircraft going back and forth on a regular basis. Oh well, everyone has their reasons............

I do but Not sure if they would be able to help.

Where is this guys shop I didn't catch that?

but okinawa to main land flight should be a domestic flight, I know that they can get it to there.

But hell Im a Military dependant if anyone really really wants it I could take space a flights all the way to japan and then work on getting the car to the shipping container but thats about it since im unemployed at the moment waiting to go to school

Thanks Johnny. He does not have a shop and these pics are from home garage in Himeji area. I have not heard anything for a few days and I'm sure he's busy with work. We'll see what is left; it appears the only person with any interest is Jeff at the moment but not if there is not a race car to be had from it.

Here is the latest and I am waiting more details and pictures.

The chassis is $2000, but not sure what all it consist of yet.

The CF doors are $1200 for the pair.

I imagine the shipping cost might be too much for anyone in the US to consider but he is checking what might be best. I have to ask him if there is a title with this chassis even though it might not matter for a race car.

The motor I found was built by a company that builds F1 motors in Japan and I'm curious myself to know more about this build. He is contacting the company to see if he can find out about the build.

Sorry, this is all I know for now.

Well, other than the windshield left that I would like to buy if I move to Japan later this year, this is pretty much stripped and I guess it won't be brought back alive at this point. I wonder how much this flywheel weighs in at? Anyone recognize the pressure plate?

Sad end result. Just plain sad.

flyin ryan · 01-16-2010

Yes...Very sad. Disturbing to see, actually. Looks like some nice work done by someone, IE:Time/Money, unfortunatly it's specific to 'That' car & most likely that car alone. The guy who owns the car now can do what he wants, of coarse, but your not going to convince me he's thinking very clearly.

I was hoping one of the member could bring that car back to the states and build it back to spec and enjoy. The last two pictures breaks my heart. Still it was good to see a Z in that kind of race trim before the disassemble.
