Call me ghetto, but I have a torn up front spoiler with a couple of good sized holes on it and instead of buying another for 130ish I was wondering if their is some way to fix it? Considered fiberglass but im sure I can only get that to work on steel. Other solution is spraypainted duct tape I guess =P

I drive in the Columbia River Gorge where the east wind is really raging now. If it is not the east wind, it is a strong west wind. The car really gets pushed around by the wind. I read somewhere that the Z does not handle well with a cross wind and I can confirm that. Is it design or just the light weight of the car? '72 Z

Can some one tell me how to deflate my bumper shocks. My 1974 206Z has both front and rear bumpers that stick way out. I would like to do away with the rubber seal behind and push the bumpers closer to the body. Any Suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Also does anyone know if you can put 240 bumpers on my 260? Are the mounting plates the same or do I need to change them out? What about the bumperettes?:sick: I'd like to remove them!

was just wondering if you get condensation under the headlight covers? If so, there is the potential for it to get on the plastic and mess up the way it projects? thx.

Couple of POR-15 questions 1 2

I'm busy doing the POR-15 thing and I've got a couple of questions. I've alaready done a few pieces and was wondering if I should wipe down the parts with Marine Clean before applying a second coat? They are still clean just full of fingerprints and a little dust. Next question, I have a piece that has been Marine Cleaned and Metal Ready'd, I do not plan on painting it with POR, will this piece rust? Or is the coat of Metal Ready enough to prevent rust? Thanks guys.

Hi all, Who do you guys in the states prefer to source your Z rubbers from? A guy I know locally said he is looking at importing a full set of victoria british rubbers which will work out to be a fraction of buying genuine nissan items. Sounds good and i might jump on the band wagon. Is anyone using these rubbers or can recommend others? Opinions are appreciated Thanks

stainless or aluminum bumper covers?

February 2, 2004 by hls30.com

Does anybody have any interest in a a set of polished Stainless steel or aluminum bumper and over-rider covers? They would be a close fit to the entire face of the bumper (and each over-rider as a seporate piece) and loop around at the top with no seams. I am thinking about setting up the tooling to make them-not sure what they would cost-but certianly not the $900 for the OEM pieces at either end, They would never rust-out or corrode/peel, and could bring that mirror polished pride back to a Z with a bad bumper. Thoughts?
