Datsun Zs are the absolute nuts. If I could get a useable one for sensible money I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Last year I went up to York to get an e30 from ebay, followed a 260z nearly all the way back and felt comprehensively upstaged. They're like a capri, only better in every way.

Haha, I watched 'Yes Man' less than a week ago and I was hoping I'd see something about him having one. The internet never lets me down.

Isn't the car in "Bird on a Wire" an e30 convertible?

Not really on topic, but still an e30 in a movie ! winkeye
Anyone who knows of an S50 B32/B30 E30 for sale, please let me know.
