Here's a video of the Z getting introduced at ZCON in Colorado by Tamura-san himself.

Thanks for posting. He is such a cool person he speaks like a philosopher when it comes to cars. I got to sit in on a meeting with him in 2016 and it was so interesting just to listen to him and his approach to the Z and GTR. Also a very polite and humble guy too. The Nissan sports cars are in such good hands with him!

The metaphor of the Z being a dance partner is perfect either comparing it with the GT-R or as a dance partner with the driver. Anytime I hear him speak I feel a sense of calm and happiness, it's contagious.

for sure. my #1 signature from him is my most prize position. I even went and bought a replacement engine bay cover so I could put it up so it would never fade. I only break it out for car meets now haha. would love the chance to meet him again and get something on the Z signed
its followed by my other signature from Shiro Nakamara ( who recently retired from Nissan) he was just as cool to speak to. He designed the 350z and the GTR and was replaced by Mr Alibasa right before the new Z

I would do the same thing if he signed my car as well. Hopefully you cross paths with him again so he can sign the Z too. I'm sure he'd be more than happy to do so.
