I am looking for some new idea's, been through the detectives etc. Trying to locate the orginal red Primadonna (picture attached). The car disapeared a few years ago without a trace. Sorta thinking that a collective effort by the alerting the Z car brothers mat be the last chance. I can't hardly believe that a car this outrageous could simply disapear, and no one in the Z car community not know. Any ideas on how to get the word out that were looking?

A black 280Z has been parked in front of my house since last weekend. The steering wheel column cover is off and the radio is missing. The car looks otherwise unmolested...doesn't look broken into...license plate starts with "2XUX"...I'm starting to look at it as a parts car... :pirate:

Thanks to those who responded to my earlier thread. After reading your replies, it sounds like a 240Z is a good tall man's car. Can anyone recommend any publications that list 240Zs for sale in the Tampa area? I haven't had much luck so far with internet searches. I'd like to go drive one. I'm not in the market right now, I'm just trying to narrow down which car will be my mid-life crisis, You know what I'm saying? -G

Several months ago i bought a non running '73 Z with '72 carbs on it. i flushed the radiator and replaced all the hoses. My gas tank was filled with brown slime so i purchased a recently wrecked Zs fuel tank for $50. I replaced all the fuel lines. Compression test (all cylinders 140-150), changed the oil, rebuilt the carbs, fiber glassed a hole under the master cylinder, installed a pertronix ignitor and coil, and finally... turned the key. The car started up real easy and was running strong when i noticed a little stream of fuel running out of the fuel inlet of one carb. I was very excited since i wasnt sure what condition the engine was in. Last night i removed…

I have a 80-280ZX Anniv. Special--Red and Black (1 of 500) today I broke the thermal switch!!! What does this switch do? Before I broke it, the car was running beautifully, and now it is terrible--rough idle--blue gas smelling smoke--and I have to coax it to start. I need all the help I can get!! Thanks very much FredZed

if i actually own a Z. when i first joined this forum, i was working on my g/f z car. since then, that car got sold. i bought one and then she got another one. yes, it's a long, convoluted story. but after much mystery, i thought i'd share with you mine: http://www.photohost.org/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/20083/size/big/sort/1/cat/500 mine is the one on the trailer, and currently is in about the same shape as you can imagine. the grey one is hers which is the one i'm working on now. almost road worthy. yeehaw!

First, let me say that over the nearly 3 decades we've been married, my wife has been very tolerant of my car habit. I've learned (self-preservation) to take note of the little warning signs that indicate when I'm about to go too far. The warnings are starting to show tonight, I've got to chill out for a while. My wife and I took a short road trip late this afternoon to pick up an engine. I got word of a supposedly low miles L24 about 50 miles away that I could get for $100. It was described as very low miles (although the current owner admitted she had no way to confirm that), and complete. I envisioned (from this lady's very un-car savvy description) a complete L24 with…

hey guys, as you can tell by my name, im not really a Z guy, but i do admire their great shape and classic feel... anyways, im in NJ, and my friend is interested in either a 240 or 280, so i was wondering first of all, if anyone had one for sale....shes looking for somewhat of a project car...but one that can be driven on weekends and such.... if no one has one for sale, then what are some things to look out for...which years are best, where are problem areas, and what should she expect to pay for something in this condition? any help would be great, thanks in advance -Aaron

After trying to get a new unit from the dealer & all the local parts places & internet ; the heater control valve that operates with a vacuum diapram for the 74 to 78 with air conditioner is no longer available! Only MSA & VB have them in their cat. but backordered when I called . So I decided to look for an o-ring gasket to replace the old stock one that was leaking antifreeze all over the passenger side carpet. Found one at harware store for .30 cents but it still leaked a bit because it was the donut style & did not quite seal very well. I called around & found the right gasket just down the street from me at a diesel repair shop. Those guys gave i…
