It seems to me that there are a lot of young Z owners here. I'm to sure if I fit into the Young Z owners club, I'm 25. Problem is I act like I'm 40. I guess thats what being raised in a military family does to you. I'm getting out of my S13 and S14 because I'm looking for a more refined machine. When I purchased my first S13 I was amazed. It was my first car that could really handle. It made a big impression on me. I grew up in the country, and eveyone knows country boys drive fast. I used to push the speed limiter on my Probe like it was my job. I grew up a lot since then, amazing how popping 6 discs and losing your Naval career does that. Please no simpathy. I have accepted my life and moved on. But I digress. I'm drove my first S13 form 168k to 196k when I parted it out. My affection for that car made me buy another, I came upon a very clean 90 Hatch with 68K on it. That was in Febuary. I soon learned that there was no joy in the S13 for me anymore. Its like dating a girl just cause she looks like your ex that you really miss. I soon remembered all the downsides to the car and began to dislike my new car so I purchased an S14. Enter my back again. I can't fit in it properly. I like how it drives. So I aranged a trade with a friend who wanted a s14 and had a Z32 (drifters ). I'll be getting a TT swap for it for a winter project. I'll get pics of the Z soon, now that we got it out of storage. I'm gonna do the headgaskets and rock it stock for the summer.

So I was wondering how old is everyone and how did you came to get your Z?

For a poll, you should have more than one option (I suggest a range) or there will be too many lines...

I am 27, bought my first when I was 13 (s30 bad rings) followed by in the same year with a 1985 z31 (engine fire). Built the s30 and rewired the z31, and kept buying from there.

Currently own 1979 280zx, 1981 280zx, 1981 10th anniversary, 1983 280zx, 2 1985 300zxs, 3 1986 300zxs, 2 1987 turbo 300zxs, 1990 300zx N/a with all 1993 tt wiring, brakes, and diff awaiting motor, 1991 300zx n/a, 1996 300zx tt (rebuilding engine).

Also everyone of my siblings also drive z's. 21 year old brother has a 1990 2+2, 19year old brother has 1990 N/A with a tt swap ready to be installed, and lastly my 18 year old sister loves her 1986 300zx.

I have a dedicated nissan and z family and I am an addict.......

Just turned 22 (Sep 3rd). I have a 90 N/A 5-speed, 91 N/A 2+2 auto, and will hopefully be picking up a very nice looking 90 n/a auto this week.

The first two are parts cars. I bought the 90 for a project car as it had a slightly busted up front end and the 91 to use parts for on the 90 but decided to sell my MR2 and buy a decent Z for my project.

I'll definitely let you guys know if I get this new one.
