I was reading an article on Z's the other day that said the guys who helped make the Zero fighter in WWII also helped on Z's. Then i was reading some other article and it said the people that worked at Prince Motor Company worked on the Zero fighters. So at around 4am i came up with this. Would look crazy with some Works Equip wheels. Dont flame me for thinking up crazy paint jobs

I'm planning a paint job on my silver 240. Keeping the metallic silver and considering subtle metallic charcoal for hood stripes and same on lower panel below doors. I know virtually nothing about modern paint technology. Want a good, high gloss and good chip resistance. Also, is one type of paint easier for stone chip touch-ups?

I'm trying to find a pair of those circular mirrors off of the 240Z. Also, what I'm really looking for is a diagram as to where they go. I wanna move them from the door panels to the fenders, like in Japan. I'm sure it's out there someplace!

Does anyone know if Nissan made an OEM passenger side mirror for the 1975-78 280z? If so, any leads on where I can find one? I've only seen these on a few Z's. Thanks!

I just received my Motorsports Side Skits. Which by the way aren't even close to fiting my 240Z. I plan to cut, re-fiberglass and fix them. My question is: My car is done with prep and primer and ready to go to the painter. Do I fix and fit the side skirts for my car, and have the car and the side skirts painted seperatly? Or should I attach the skirts and have them painted on the car? It would make more sense to have them painted on the car, but the car is currently only painted with primer. I don't want to have un-protected (primer only) areas underneath the skirts. So do I spray rattle can auto paint on the area where the skirts will go, mount the skirts, and sand a…

Just a heads up if anyone has been waiting for stampings from Mill Supply, like I have for more than 6 months now, it looks like they are finally available. I just got email confirmation that my parts have been shipped. I had trouble getting the right side quarter panel and both sides wheelhouse outers. Tabco supplies all the Z stampings for them, but I had no luck trying to buy direct from Tabco. It was a long wait but I'm grateful that someone is still punching out the parts we need.

So the kids need bread for their sandwich's, I go to the store, get bread, trying to leave the parking lot and get on to the street, and this kid is in front of me trying to do the same then changes his mind and throws it in reverse. Guess who he hit with his Mazda B2200 truck? YUP, MEEEEEE. This is the third damn hood I've put on my 240Z. Now I need a fourth hood. Any takers. I am looking for another hood for the Z but it needs to be straight. If it has a little rust, it's ok. PM me or shoot me a comment here, under the pictures of my F'd up hood. And May I add that "I JUST FINISHED THAT COWL INDUCTION HOOD DAMNIT!!!" I'm mainly looking for a Washington 240Z h…

I just removed the bodyside mouldings from my 73. What a major improvement, they really did detract from the lines, at least in my opinion. I won't be putting them back on the car after paint, however, I imagine someone doing a factory quality restore may want them. I have the complete set, and all of the parts are in good shape (they were riveted on). Are these worth anything, or should I just store them with the rest of the extra stuff?
