   Hi Everyone, Does anyone know how to find out when my car was made? Is there a way to read the chassis (frame) number to give a build date (i.e. like ford). Luv and kisses, Gail

   Was just wondering if any of you out there are able to get full coverage on your Z if so what have you done to get full coverage. I'm trying to convert my brother into a Z nut, but one main concern is insuraning the Z. I have liability, but don't know if you can get full coverage on it(at least my insurance company won't). Please help me out with this one guys. Thanks

   zedfans I was about to refit the brake distribution valve on my 240z ( that is the valve which the master cylinder pipes go into and the front brake and rear brake pipes come out of, and is attached to the drivers side inner wing/fender) , and I find it is full of crystallized brake fluid residue. Can anyone tell me whether it is OK to take this apart and clean it or should I look for another one? thanks for any help Andrew

   1973 240z $$ question

   May 27, 2004 by Corganx33

   $1300 for a 1973 240z? Whats good on it: no rust, straight frame, solid frame rails Engine runs well suspension is solid complete, unmolested not so good: auto tranny ( would swap anyway ) horrible paint... cracked scratched etc.... interrior is mostly destroyed.... would have to be replaced. 240z's are all over the map in cost. And I know this may be a hard question to answer without pics ( don't have any sorry ) but does 1300 seem like a reasonable number in this case? Thanks
