   So it looks like all the Z bodies will interchange, what about the 280ZX? I could use 2 fenders for my 240, and I know where a 280ZX is in a junkyard.

   i have a complete 83-z i cant get it register in texas cause of the title. so i found a 78-280z chaise for 100bux with clean tx title. i know the engine/tranny/rear diff will fit. but will any thing else fit? like the sub frames/ or front cross-member etc. also how hard would it be to wire in the fuel injection system or should i just find some old carbs?

   260z front bumper on a '73 240

   I did some searching and I'm still unclear... Will a early 260-Z front bumper fit on a '73 240-Z? they look very similar and Black Dragon has new 260-Z fronts for $149. I know the '73 240 had the beginings of the 5mph bumpers and it looks like the early 260 used the same bumper. Has anyone tried? Will it fit? Thanks

   i got my hands on an l28et for really cheap. the catch is that it didn't come with the ecu, distributor, starter, alternator, fuel pump, and tranny. is there anything i can use from my l24 to get the l28 up and running?

   Hey all! Been out of the hobby for a while, since my son was born. I feel like a bonehead for asking the most common knowledge question, but which casting is the 260z intake manifold? I have a few intake/carb combinations from different cars, but I forgot which is which. Thanks, and try not to be cruel!

    :classic: :squareeye While I was getting ready to swap out my auto trans for a manual in my 260Z I did alot of reading first. Both here and in ZCAR.com If it were'nt for these two sites I am sure I would of wasted a lot of time and money. Anyway, while I was reading about this swapI ran across the "pesky spacer" on the rear of the crankshaft. Had I not known about that ahead of time I would of surely tried to install the manual and pulled out what little hair I have left. What I didn't find was any photos of this spacer. Sooooo here are some pics of it in place and off the crank. I hope this helps someone in the future. Again thanks to all who have posted and m…

    I bought my '73 240Z intending to restore it and be happy with it. A bit of nastalga and an every other day driver. I put my efforts into upgrading the suspension and handling. A daily driver should ride good... and I put a bit of money into it. Then I started thinking about how I would miss the horsepower. Handling is great, but hp is better. So I started looking at the upgrades available for stock 240Z's. I was thinking in the + tens of horse power upgrades. I started thinking about the cost of the "+tens" and it just didnt make sence. Sooooo, I started thinking in hundreds of horse power. I looked at V8 conversions, Skyline engines, and the ol' tried and true…
