    I had a flick through it at a book store near the RNA showgrounds in Brissy. Was hugely expensive I thought.

    lol.. patrick ... i was suggesting that if the library had it, you could borrow, assess and decide for yourself whether it was a worthwhile option for you to purchase ....

    ..sorry, i am inclined to be a little criptic at times

    I picked this book up from Borders a few months back and I think it's great. Lots of great info, the history of Z's / Fairlady's, Nissan motorsport. Some great photos and art. It is expensive though, and fairly focused on the American side of things.

    So is it worth it? I think so :)

    $50 for a hardcover book isn't really that much is it?

    I've got it, it's not bad! Info tends to concentrate more on cars preceding the z32, lots about the history and development of these. Doesn't go much into aftermarket potential although and I noticed that in the z-car comparo they didn't give a 0-100 time for the z33 :p good info about the racing side of things.. A good z guide overall!

    :p I mean in comparison there isn't much on the z32.. If you're buying it just for the z32 I think you'll be disappointed. Even the z33 gets a bigger wrap.

    I have noticed this "invisibility" about our cars in many car books. Considering it was the biggest break through in a few years of Z's and ran almost without change for ten years!! It was also voted best car for a few years running, in America. It almost seems as if its deliberate because its only a Japanese sports car!:zlove:
