Hello, my name is Zak Smith,
I am from sydney and my best mate (from brisbane) and myself have been collecting Z's for nearly 20 years. I have a few cars and quite a lot of parts but unfortunately I have a large work load and very little time to be active as a member. I am however a very lucky man as my missus also has a love for z's. I am located about 1 hour west of sydney and have a shed chokas with cars and parts.
I am able to help out with some parts and advice on early sylvia,prince skyline,fairlady,2000 sports,240z,260z,260z2+2,and280zx. Please be patient with replies as sometimes I dont get to log in for days or weeks at a time. I will endevour to be more active as a member though. I have a very good network of people that can also help if I can't.
I am ill with a lack of resistance to collect more z cars but my missus is trying to help me and it is slowly working (i.e. sell one if I want to buy another one). I can now put a dollar value to the emotional attatchment to the cars and parts. This can be seen by the sometimes ambitious prices I put on things and also reflects the things I have given away to those more deserving. I have adopted a philosophy that they are not mine but I am the custodian, and although money exchange often has to take place, I have never sold a car that hasn't gone to a equal or better owner (custodian).
I am not a purist (in the modern sense) nor do I own any concourse cars at the moment. I do appreciate all styles,modified and original, and usually like the car more than the person that owns it. I dont have a lot of time to chat ect on the forum but I will try t6o more often.
Thank you for your time
