Resources

Places the club actually uses — parts, forums, and the apps worth having on your phone in a garage. Nothing here is sponsored and the order means nothing.

Parts & Suppliers

Motorsport Auto

Datsun and Z specialist trading since the 1970s, covering the S30 through the Z32. Prints a paper catalogue, which is still the easiest way to find a part when you do not know its name.

Parts & Suppliers

Z Car Depot

Restoration and replacement parts weighted towards the early cars — trim, rubber, interior and body pieces that general catalogues do not carry.

Parts & Suppliers

Z1 Motorsports

Performance and OEM parts for the later Z, plus their own developed components. Publishes a large library of install write-ups and videos that are useful whether or not you buy from them.

Z-focused parts across the modern generations, including harder-to-source OEM pieces.

Parts & Suppliers

NissanPartsDeal

OEM Nissan catalogue with factory part diagrams. The exploded views are worth using even when buying the part somewhere else — they tell you every clip and gasket that comes with the job.

RockAuto

General catalogue, not a Z specialist. Where the club goes for wear items — brakes, filters, bearings, suspension bushings — rather than anything Z-specific.

Forums & Clubs

ClassicZCars

The long-running forum for the early cars. Decades of archived threads, which makes its search more valuable than its front page.

Forums & Clubs

HybridZ

Engine swaps and heavily modified classic Z. The place for questions that begin with what will fit in the bay.

Forums & Clubs

My350Z

The Z33 forum, and the archive that goes with it.

Forums & Clubs

The370Z

The Z34 forum — the counterpart to My350Z for the later car.

Serves over plain HTTP with no working HTTPS, so treat it as a public room: do not reuse a password there.

Forums & Clubs

NICOclub

Nissan-wide forums, and a free library of factory service manuals. The FSM is the book the dealer technician was given, and it answers torque specs and procedures no forum thread will.

Z Club of America

Running since 1971, with chapters around the country — the badge in the footer is this club's. Worth a look for what the other chapters are putting on.

Z Car Club Association

A separate non-profit from the Z Club of America, despite the near-identical name. It exists to support Z clubs generally and runs ZCON, the international Z car convention.

Apps & Tools

Torque Pro

Android OBD-II app paired with a cheap Bluetooth adapter. Reads and clears codes and shows live sensor data, which turns a check-engine light from a mystery into a number.

OBD-II only, so it reaches 1996 and newer cars — nothing earlier.

Apps & Tools

OBD Fusion

The same job as Torque Pro, on iOS as well as Android, with support for some manufacturer-specific data beyond the generic OBD-II set.

OBD-II only, so it reaches 1996 and newer cars — nothing earlier.

Apps & Tools

Harry's LapTimer

Lap timing and data logging from a phone, with video overlay. Built for exactly the HPDE and autocross days this club runs.

Apps & Tools

RaceChrono

Lap timing and data logging with a free tier, which makes it the easy first one to try before deciding whether you want the paid features.

What's missing

No local shops, machinists, painters or blasters. That is the list this club would most benefit from and the one nobody can assemble from the internet — it only means anything when it comes from a member who has actually handed someone their keys and got the car back. Post one in Maintenance & Mods and it can move here.
