Greetings tt.net members, I see you obviously have heard the sad news that the publisher of Sport Z, Robert Bell, has decided to retire. But sometimes, when one door closes, another opens. In other words, don't panic. What's behind that door will make you Z32 fans breath easier. I’d like to introduce Nissan Sport, a new all-Nissan, all-Datsun, all-Infiniti magazine started and co-owned by the key now-former employees of Sport Z Magazine. That also means me, former SZM editor-in-chief, now managing editor of Nissan Sport. Most if not all key writers from Sport Z are coming aboard (still in the process of contacting all of them). Just about every advertiser has offered Nissan Sport their full support and commitment. More importantly, though, we worked out an agreement with Bob Bell late Friday afternoon of last week that will make fans of Sport Z ecstatic. Nissan Sport will honor--in full--all Sport Z subscriptions and will have the same great Z coverage. Our Z32turbo-swap article, originally scheduled for the Summer issue of Sport Z, is running in Nissan Sport’s premier Fall issue. We’re hoping to start a Project 300ZX Twin Turbo sometime in the next year. I already have several incredible Z32s inked in for features (and always looking for more). Every issue, like Sport Z, will include 300ZX articles, from features to tech tips. Yes, there will be some changes. Nissan Sport will be shipped in a protective polybag. The annual subscription price drops to only $14.95. And we are expanding page count by at least another eight pages since we will be accommodating the full line of Nissan vehicles (not all at once, mind you). Look for the first issue to be mailed out in early September. Essentially, 90 percent of the magazine that was going to ship this Summer as Sport Z will ship this Fall as Nissan Sport. Right now we have an introductory special of $12.95, which expires July 31. For more information on Nissan Sport, including a detailed FAQ on how much Z coverage you can expect, go to our website, [ www.nissansportmag.com. ] I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Please pass this information along to your friends, forum members, and fans of Sport Z. I apologize for not getting this announcement out sooner. Art, DaveO, Mike and I have been working late nights for much of the past month to make this happen. We didn't want to see the opportunity to build on a great magazine go away. The Nissan Sport team is determined to deliver the absolute best niche car magazine on the market, and any support you can offer is much appreciated. This will be one of my last posts as Sport Z Magazine. Look for me soon under Nissan Sport. If you have questions, write me anytime at daveb@nissansportmag.com. Thanks for the understanding and see you in our pages. Dave Bexfield
