You guys that ordered the J-collection Nissan Z Coupe won't be disappointed, I bought mine from the man himself at the "Strictly 43'd" show a few months ago. Looking at it as I type. Drawback? No stinking antenna!

When the wheels turn, the calipers don't!

I also bought a Tamiya kit, but I'm holding out on building as I'm not sure how much of the underside should be body colored.

Now, to find the Hot Wheels toy.

I can just see my room now turning into a Z shrine.

I bought mine from AutoFantics.com. No color choice. With shipping it was $36.90 but I will get 10% off since it was my first order.

The Tamiya kit is plastic, but of exceptional quality. Love the tires....perfect reproduction of Pilot's tread pattern. SiZes are a tad large though, 280's front & 305's rear, but they look cool.

The J-collection Z is die-cast, silver only.

I also found an excellent Koyosho Datsun 240-Z 1/43 die cast with great engine detail. Mine is a medium metallic gray.....Silverstone? Looks skinny in comparison to the 350Z.

Anyone have the full size dimensions of a 240-Z?

I ordered one from AutoFanatics on 4/22. On 4/25, they sent me an e-mail that said "oops we actually don't have any", and don't know when we will get them. Have any of you that have recently ordered from them received anything yet?

I have e-mailed them again but have yet to hear back.
