| 2022 Supply Chain Disruptions & Manufacturer Pricing Updates |
|
|
 |
|
| The supply chain disruptions have certainly improved this year over 2021, however there have still been many lingering issues with our manufacturers getting all of the materials they need. Many have been able to re-supply what they weren't able to provide in 2021. Across the globe, they are still working hard to make the items you want, and we're hopeful this trend will continue in 2023. We continue to replenish inventory and reduce turn-around time for the parts you want, with well over $100,000.00 of parts on order currently with our manufacturers. Thank you for your patience and understanding. |
|
| Unfortunately, most of our suppliers have informed us that, due to the global issues with staffing, the supply chain, and shortages of raw materials, they will be having significant price increases either immediately or soon. Even items we've had on order for months, or in some cases, over a year, may be subject to these increases. If anything you have on order is affected by these changes, we will contact you before proceeding. |

| The 2022 Holiday Shipping's On Us Sale! |
| |
Place an order over $100.00 on or before Tuesday, January 3rd, 2023, at midnight Eastern Time, in our online store, and we'll pay for Standard Shipping service (does not include tax or core charges, some restrictions apply). This offer applies to standard size single packages shipped to the lower 48 United States. For oversize, truck freight, expedited, multiple package, Alaska, Hawaii, or international shipments, enter your code, complete your order, and we'll contact you with a shipping allowance of up to $100.00! (Amount of allowance will vary depending on the parts, package size, and weight). Truck freight includes Body Kits, Hoods, larger Air dams, and other very large parts. Oversize means large items like Dash Covers, most Wings, many Air Dams, Louvers, Carpet Kits, and similarly sized items. Note that due to the dimensional weight shipping changes, which have been expanded by the freight companies again in 2022, there are many more parts that are now "dimensionally weighted" by the shippers, and some items that qualified in previous sales may now have a healthy discount instead.
You must put coupon code 22Holiday in the “Z-Mail Coupons” box DURING CHECKOUT. The listed amount will be removed, and we will contact you to confirm your included shipment (or allowance discount) before we finish your order (Note: The online store will show "FREE", but it is not capable of applying the terms listed above. We will get back to you to confirm your free shipping or discount). If you wish to confirm your discount with us before placing your order, or prefer to place your order over the phone, just give us a call before 4 pm Pacific Time on Tuesday, January 3th, 2023, at (714)639-2620, and have your coupon number ready (note: keep in mind that we will be closed from Saturday, December 31st, 2022, through Monday, January 2nd, 2023). For orders placed over the weekend, we will get back to you with your totals Tuesday or Wednesday. Just give us a call or email if you have any questions. |

| New Part Highlights! |
|
| In addition to the major new parts we feature in Z-Mail, we're adding other parts to The Z Store all of the time, from hardware & gaskets to go with parts already online, to various less common parts. If for instance you're looking for a bolt or seal for a specific part, you can check that part in our store to see if the associated part is shown in Related Items. In addition, you can always contact us to see if that part is still available, or if we have a replacement part, or even if we have a used part. |

| |
| MOTORSPORT SPRINGS for 70-78 S30! |
| |
 If you've been with us for a while, you'll remember our ultra-popular linear rate performance springs that are 25% stiffer than stock, and 1.5" lower than stock ride height. Motorsport Springs are for the performance/racing enthusiast who wants linear spring performance, or who want that lower stance without Coil-Over kits. For the racer, linear rate springs give the most predictable performance response when taking on any track, or canyon "road course". If you mostly tour with your Z, and don't race (or drive like you are), then our exclusive Eibach Springs might be a better option for you. If you're in it for the performance or stance, Motorsport Springs give you the best possible performance & predictable cornering, without going all the way to harsher coil-over kits, designed for track cars. Let us know if you have any questions! The image above is of the company 1978 280Z, with Motorsport Springs installed, during a hard, fast corner at a performance driving event during a previous Z-Car West Coast Nationals. It was very predictable, and we had a blast! |

| One Time Run! All Graphite Gloss Finish Wheels! |
|
| Our most popular wheel has been the Rewind Graphite with the machined (bright) lip. We have had many requests over the years for "All Graphite", using the same Gloss finish, all the way to the edge! We were able to get a special purchase of a few sets of these wheels, and they look awesome with any color or finish of Z-Car. They are direct bolt-on, requiring no adapters, for 70-85 240Z, 260Z, 280Z, 280ZX, and 300ZX (4-Lug configuration only). Our complete kit includes 4 wheels, 16 chrome lug nuts, 4 Chrome center caps, and 4 chrome-sleeved valve stems. Click each wheel above for a larger image/different angle. This special purchase is limited to supply on hand. When they're gone, they're gone! |

| Perhaps One Of The Best 280ZX Upgrades Ever? |
|
 |
|
|
| Carbon Fiber 280ZX Victory Spoiler Exclusive! |
|
| For a long time, there were only a few rear spoiler options available anywhere for the 280ZX, and most were pretty old. Your desire for new 280ZX Spoiler options was one of the most common calls we would receive. Recently we introduced our exclusive Victory spoiler design, fitted to the 280ZX, and the fiberglass version has been very popular so far. The manufacturer was slowed greatly by the struggles of the past 3 years, but has had his foot on the gas for a while, and this awesome Carbon Fiber version of the 280ZX Victory spoiler is one of the fortunate results. |

| Motorweek Retro Review - 350Z vs RX8 |
|
| From 2004, Motorweek put their familiar stamp on a comparison test, a 2004 Nissan 350Z vs a Mazda RX8. The Z wins most of the performance tests, but they ding the Z on the price, and say it came in a close second to the Mazda. We may be biased, but think the superior performance of the Z puts it in the winner's circle in this competition every time. Let us know if you agree or disagree at zmail@thezstore.com! |
