I was just hinking about how the datsun and older z forums seem pretty deadwhat strikes me as odd is when you go to other car sites like mazda with an older model like an R100 or an RX2 everyone gets excited and a lot of them have older models stowed away in a garage somewhere, and there is a lto of interest in the older models that gave birth to what they are all driving nowis this lost on Nissan Infinity owners? is there no interest? does no one have older models stowed away somewhere?I am a general car geek, Nissan/Datsuns is what really spins my crank though I've never owned a 510 but love them and hope to find a decent one one dayI'd think most of you have had or will have other models, post what you had/have and want

My first Nissan/Datsun was an 82 stanza with a CA20 and a Npa-Z headthen a 90 hardbody SEV699 frontier SEV685 300ZX N/A87 Pulsar NX SE78 280Z

currently71 240Z 83 280ZX turbo

and I hope to have an old 510 one day

Well I myself love the old 510s and old Z cars, I have fair amount of friends that either own 510s or 240z's or 280zx turbos. If were to get another project car it would definately be a 510.

Because few of us actually posses these cars, even though we love them. There are a few on the boards, but they are much more scarce than say, the 240sx. When we talk about them, it tends to just be in gen chat (mostly because they'll get no attention in the dead datsun forums :-\)
