Hasn't ANYONE ever fitted weathershields to a Zed ?????????? If so, what make and model will fit a Zed?????. American translation;;;;;;;;;;;; Clear plastic thingies that are fitted to the doors, that deflect the wind and rain, allowing the windows to be wound down. :love: your Z, keep it original. Rick.

OK, it is pretty well documented here and elsewhere my preference for the 75-78 body structure. So it weighs a bit more and blah blah blah...weight is easy to lose: plain and simple it is a stronger body.....The problem of course being the complete IMPOSSIBILITY of registering a 75-78 body here in CA with a motor that puts out any sort of pleasant umph. How hard would it be to simply switch numbers? Who is going to know? I always do something radical with the bumpers anyway. How else could anybody tell? without weighing it or having a Master's degree in Nissan manufacturing techniques and history? The 70-73 body is identical to all but the most trained eye. Just bu…

I'm looking for a R200 rear end to go on my 74 260. I *thought* that only the Z's had them but I've seen some from other newer Nissan's that people sell to go on the Z's. What different cars could I rip this out of? Also what other parts would I need to finish the conversion?

I have been looking around for a car I could turn into an SCCA Autocrosser. Imagine the look on my face when a friend told me that he knew a guy that had to get rid of 2-1977 280z cars. I have virtually no experience with these cars except that I have always admired their lines, and thought one would be fun to own. Now I have two. THinking one would end up a parts cars, I investigated each car to find the "parts cars". Neither of these cars qualify for parting out. Both are in relatively excellent condition (for a remodel) very little rust on one, none on the other. Both run well, just need alot of love. I paid $100.00 for both. Yep, 50 bones apiece for these beaut…

Windshield wiper arms

I started out taking off the cowling between the hood and the windshield. Just out of curiosity. I figured lets take a look. After I removed it I noticed there was a little bit of rust, so I figured I would get some POR 15 and take care it. While I was cleaning out the leaves and rest of the compost I ended up taking out the entire windshield wiper system. From the motor to the arms everything. I noticed the arms were a little difficult to move by hand. So I started to take the arms apart. I cleaned it up and am getting ready to paint (the arms). My question is what kind of grease should I use on the arms? Hope I can remember how it all goes back together.
