Hello all, This is my first post, but I have been lurking for the past three weeks. So the quick version about how I aquired my Z. My uncle has been a Z car lover for a long time and had a 75' Z in his garage (it's been there as long as I can remeber) and recently at Thanksgiving I said I wished I had a stereo with an audio line-in. He said, "You can have the one out of the Z before I have it towed away" I was like :cross-eye and asked if I could have the Z. I was looking for a second car for me and my fiancee to use and I would rather put 2,000 into a Z and save it than buy some used hunk of junk. The car has a completely rebuilt engine (done by my uncles friend who d…

Were there ever any metal 'Datsun' fender emblems ? I've only ever seen plastic ones for sale.

I need help in reference to the tail light gaskets. I just received them and both are the same. Both have a recessed area for the bolt/nut to go through. Would it make a difference if one of the gaskets (right side OK) left side is reversed, all holes match up and appear to be OK on the left side. Should I use contact spray to hold in place while installing them? Any help will be appreciated!!! Randy rbm260z

Hello all, I have a bit of a dilema ... I have some rust in the crossmember of the roof between the headliner and the rear hatch on the passenger side. I have tried to think of a source of this problem and have yet to find the reason. The car is generally rust free (compared to other Z's) as it's a Texas car and has been garaged for most of it's life ... Anyone out there care to speculate where this is sourced so I can stop it and fix the situation? See attached photo of the damage.

Hi All, Can anyone with ZG flares tell me how far the wheel arch extends past stock? I want to get a set of the CF ZG flares, and i currently have 15x7 Koing Rewinds on my car. I will need to get spacers made to bring the wheels closer to the lip on the flares. Anyone know what size to get? Do you have to cut the quarters to clearance the tires after the flares are installed? Also, what's a good place to have quality spacers made? Anyone else offer the ZG flares cheaper than MSA? Thanks for the help, Jay

My 77 is in excellent condition with the exception of a few items, bushings they're all in poor shape (and the antennae is tits up) should I go poly or rubber. I like a comfortable drive but I don't like holding the tiller against the wind so to speak. Would all rubber be a loose ride?? Is poly like a perpetual dirt road or the right the way to go? Rick P.S. : Antennae kits??

Compressor

Last year when I painted the car I kept having to wait for the compressor to catch up leaving me with uneven pressure . Is there a way to connect 2 compressors together so the storage capacity is increased, and would this solve the problem. Someone else had mentioned it to me after I finished last summer but now I am definetly going to repaint . I have my sears 27 gal and can borrow a 5 gal or my brother in laws 27gal. How much capacity do you really need anyway?
