Absolutely, let's all be thankfull for the forum and vendors.  It's
understandable why the Z is so supported while the roadster has been "all
but abandoned by Nissan":  There were hundreds of thousands of Zs made vs.
the few thousand roadsters made.  It's simple economics, and Nissan is
beholden to their stock shareholders (not roadster holders ;^).   I don't
know how many 510s were made, but I'm betting several orders of magnitude
more 510s were manufactured over the production run than the roadster.

 the message that got sent to Nissan only mentioned 510 & Z. , but
