   I have a friend that has an engine and 5 speed from a 1983 maxiam. Is this the same 5 speed that is in the 280ZX? He also has the complete rear end. Are any of these parts worth having?

   I want to put a 81-83 ZX 5-speed in my 240Z. For now I will keep the same diff. I want to know if there are any incompatible parts, or can I just install the 5-speed with my existing driveline?

   will a 280z sway bar fit in my 73 240z? it has two brackets, on the body, next to the front diff mount and holes in the rear arms. what does the 280z swaybar look like? i would imagine it to have a "bend" in it on the front side so it would clear the diff mount. i bought a rear sway bar the the guy claims to be a 280z bar but it looks like this shape ] and it won't fit! please help. thanks

   260z 2+2 r200 into 2 seater

   Hi all I been offered a 3.70 r200 diff and gearbox from a 1975/6 260z2+2, as replacements for the 3.90 diff and 5 speed from my 1972z ( which have gone elsewhere). Question I have is will the 260z 2+2 mustache bar and other mounting hardware fit onto the 2 seater OK. ( I ask as it is usually assumed that the r200 comes from a 280z and I do not know whether a 280z has the same mounting hardware as a 260z 2+2) thanks for any help

    240z bumper guards on a early 260z

    I would like to take the big rubber bumper gaurds off my early 260 and not have gaurds at all but I don't like the look of the holes on the top. So I would like to put the 240z bumper guards on in place of the ones I have now. Would this work without modification to the guards? Has anyone done this swap before? -Ben

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6187&item=2429937703 a 76 280z as seen by the title and the front bumper. But the seller has a 77/78 rear bumper on the car (bumper guards) Do the 77/78 bumpers bolt on to the 76 chassis, and if so will the front bumper work? Im trying to find a way I can replace the bumper guards for my 76 but they are hard to find and expensive.

    A '79 5-speed was recently transplanted in my '73 240z. After initially working fine with the set up, my speedometer recently stopped working. Is there anything strange about the cable or mounting I should be thinking about or checking? Bill D.
