I'll post this in the emergency forum as well as I am sick and tired of my doors. My '73 240Z has doors that just don't want to click. I have to slam the poop out of them to get them to stay shut all the way. If I simply close them gently or my wife does, it closes but one could jiggle the door maybe 1/2" or so. The solution up until now is to slam it hard, sometimes three or four times, to get it to shut. There has got to be some way to adjust them so you can shut it regularly and it stay shut and not jiggle. Of couse when it jiggles, it will not lock. Please help!! timberwolf@geotec.net

I recently moved up here to SF from So. Cal and am looking for a painter to do some repair work or possibly more. Have any recommendations? I don't need showcar work, but good quality work.

Several years ago I had a catalog from a company called "Longs Z Parts". I have lost the catalog and was hoping that someone might have the addy so I can contact them for a new catalog. If not, maybe someone could tell me where I can get gaskets for my '71 240 Z. Thanks Ernie

I should have kept my hands in my pockets.......I stuck my hand up under the front fender near where the top shock mount is and found the inner fender has turned to dust,,,,I could pull handfulls of rotten metal out.............aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaghh! the rest of the car appears in pretty decent shape (considering its age --73)...except for the frame rails inside the front fenders.......... is there a replacement for the inner fenders and can I weld a repair on the frame rails........ any other ideas?.....I like the car...this is just an ugly surprise.

Has anyone used fiberglass body panels for their "Z"? What is the quality of Arizona Z's fiberglass parts? Who else makes body panels for 74 260 Z's? Thanks for any help.

Has anyone bought or used the plating kits from Eastwood or Caswell? I want to replate all my hardware, hydraulic line clamps, bolts, brackets, etc. I see Mike G has painted (or powder coat?) some of the brackets black. But some of the hardware looks new or plated. I want to get as close to the original finish as possible, not chrome. Any suggestions?

This plate is located at the bottom of the hatch. It is part of the car and is spot welded to the tail-light panel. It's flat and has a hole in it to allow the hatch to lock into the frame. My panel was rusted underneath. I had to replace it. Upon shopping every resource I could find..... I found out that Nissan re-released this part just for this reason. Here is the part number: Part Number = 999M1 - M0000 Your local Nissan dealer will sell this to you for around $100.00, but, Courtesy Nissan has this panel for around $75.00. Courtesy Nissan will give all 240z-club members a 25% discount!! This is VERY good information to have on hand. Also keep in mind that Cour…
