    New guy from College Station, TX

    I've been restoring cars and trucks since the mid 70's and my last restoration was a Nissan 93 300zx convertible a fairly expensive build, (was my first foreign build) but loved it since it's kind of a fairly rare car to see on the road and have also won some first place showings at some Z car shows. Now the wife is wanting a 33 and I've been lusting over Factory Five for over a decade now, and we are setting up a game plan on getting the funds to make this adventure happen.

    I'd first like to do the factory tour and will more than likely do the build course, I could use some more schooling.

    Welcome to the forum. This is a great community of helpful people. I am not a 33 guy but there are plenty here that can answer any question you might come up with. Z car sounds cool. I don't think you can post pictures until you get more posts but I would love to see it.

    Thanks for the welcome, yeah I read that in one of the stickys for the 20 post so when I get there I'll be glad to post some pics.

    Having wrenched on the new 33 truck for Sema while I was out in MA with the FFR guys, I can't say enough about the build quality and attention to detail of these packages. And of course we're here at BluePrint to help with a complete driveline if you're looking! You won't be disappointed with the 33 kit, they are gorgeous!

    Thanks for the heads up, I hadn't made up my mind on the drivetrain and was looking at y'all for that.

    Thanks Johnny,

    When I decide on a drivetrain I'll give y'all a call.

    Welcome Mike, lots of useful 33 build threads to read through here.

    Read as many as you can and bookmark the interesting posts - you'll refer back to them many times (and can sometimes be hard to find again!).

    I already started that process, thanks for the heads up.

    Thanks,

    I've learned years ago to join web forums to get the skinny on projects you plan to work on. When I started my Z project I joined a forum for Z's and now I'm one of many moderators there, with a ton of technical articles produced on how to work on this monster. it's going to be hard to let go of the Z to start the "33"

    Here are a few pic of my Z you wanted to see, a lot of work went into build. It defiantly draws a lot of attention on the road. Looking forward to start a 33
