So some of you have seen that I am trying to see if I can sell my 260 project. I have posted it here as well as Zcar.com. I keep getting emails from people stating they want to buy my car. Their sentence structure and spelling is way off from the english language and to boot, the person emailing me never asks specifics really on the condition of the project...only that they are def going to buy it. Now, the person wants my address information so that they can send me a certified cashiers check (from a third pary mind you). The cashiers check they state is for the purchase price of the vehicle and that they have already made arrangements with a shipping company to come …

An odd question here, excuse my ignorance. I notice in alot of sigs I see people list thier VIN numbers. Some say HLS30 and some say HS30. I am assuming (you know what they say about assuming) that there is no difference, just a letter ommited. How far off base am I? :stupid:

My rear left spring was sagging on my '72 240 so while I was reworking the suspension, shocks etc. etc. I installed an Eibach Kit. At first it was ok but I think I am getting old because I don't like the ride to be so harsh and where I am there seem to be plenty of pot holes. Anyway, I tried to order brand new OEM springs for the car but they are no longer available. I was told that I could have my original springs re-worked, heat treated etc. Is this true? Is it possible to recondition the springs back to their original spring rates and If so does anyone have suggestions as to where to have this done. I am in Raleigh NC.

From months of viewing the post of new Z owners I have an observation I wish to discuss.I read,bought Z therapy carbs,ordered headers,want more power,need it faster.I never read what I feel is the first manditory repair.I want to STOP!!These cars are old.The rubber brake lines probably haven't been replaced.If they have when?Guys we dream,look.and save for the day we get our Z.In a moment it could all be gone.The rear wheel cylinders are bad about leaking,brake fluid sucks up moisture=rust in the lines.You know how the more you blow up a balloon the weaker it gets?Guess what your rubber lines are doing?.The cost of making sure you will stop is small when you consider at a…

For some reason I have it in my head that some 240z came with twin exhaust. Was this just some works cars? if so does anyone have any pics or details of the set up.

like i have said in the previous post, i'm new to the Z thing. since i've been on this forum, i've noticed quite a few of you that are very dedicated to this car. i can admire that. my first (car) love is the corvette. they're great cars. unfortunately, they're too heavy and expensive to go out and just enjoy a track day. so mine will get restored and the Z will become my track car. from what i've seen so far, it looks like a platform with alot of potential. already, though, i can feel the same type of division with the rest of the Z owners, just like the corvette community. there seems to be two or three sub-groups in each group of car enthusiasts. one says rest…

some of you may remember the saga of my friend's '72. i spent quite alot of time asking questions and getting advice. well, i have bad news and good news. first the bad news. said friend traded the Z as partial down payment on a new tiburon. not really a bad deal because she really needed something reliable. now for the good news. her dad still has another '72 and a '73. he is saving the '72 for her, well, because he loves her and all that 'parent' stuff. but i've helped her out alot and he appreciates that, so that has gotten me "in there like swim wear" and he has offered to sell me the '73 for, get this, $100! now granted, it doesn't run (yet) but that's j…

Hey. I looked at going over to the dark side today. 1982 280ZX with 59,000 original miles. 20 miles from my house here in central IL. Owned by an older couple since they bought it new in 1982. All original, supposedly garage kept. So, it looks really nice from 20 feet.
