here are a couple crappy pics of my other baby 
I've posted a couple times, but it's cool that there is a dedicated thread! Forgive the crappy pics...they were stills done with my digital 8camcorder a few years ago.
I got this car in 1993, back when I was in college, with just 82k miles on it. Everything worked, everything was original. I steadily built it up, doing lots of auto-x and cut my teeth doing road race events with it way back when.
I've spent so much time on the 350, I have not touched this thing all year basically. Last time I drove it.....July 4, 2005 (seems we're always playing with something; most recently the new fuel system (I'll snap some pics tomorrow if anyone wants to see)
Fully built motor, T66 turbo, massive front mount, electromotive standalone, recaro seats, new Nardi *** steering wheel, AP brakes (custom), 18x8.5, 18x9.5 with 245/285's (no spacers and no fender mods...gotta love custom wheels!) . It's always made awesome power, and now with the new fuel setup, I am hoping we can come closer to 700 whp.
The G nose 240's posted above.....my god, I'm in heaven. That will be my next "big" project when time and money allow! I want to do an old school build....everything age appropriate with mods of the day, triple webers, 13:1 CR, etc etc..one day. Paint it white or a light grey, or burgundy, with the flares, and toss on some old school Watanabe's. Dare to dream!!!!!!!!!

man I have SO many pics on my computer of old school Z's At the shop, we have a turbo'd '77, an original '78, my '79, and then the 350's
This one is probably my favorite old school one of all time
the piece de resitance - the head on this motor alone costs as much as my 280zx did when it was new (and sadly, they only made a few)
Oh how I wish I had this head on my Datsun, if for nothing else than the rarity of it!

Bit of a mixture from our track day in June. http://www.zclub.org.nz/album_showpage.php?pic_id=585
http://www.zclub.org.nz/album_showpage.php?pic_id=588
I'll see if I can get some good picy's of the newly finished Supercharged V8 240.

A few picys of the Supercharged V8 power racing 240z here in NZ. Looks a bit ikky, due to bonnet vent being fried in a small engine fire the day before testing at the track. 
These picys taken waiting to go onto the drag strip, hence mismatched rims.

MC those pics that you have are priceless. That is truly great and shows how so many of you are true enthusiasts. What a great thread. I wish I had an old school Z for the fun of it. Keep up the great pics.
