Barely one day into the auction, bidding for this car looks to be the exception rather than the rule: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1971-datsun-240z-69/

I have a couple of questions regarding some options that can be done when restoring the price nterior of my series 1. I am having the seats reupholstered with leather, but not sure whether to use vinyl or leather on the tranny tunnel and the rear wheel wells and shock towers. The original vinyl is in perfect condition, but I sort of want to go with the leather since they use the same diamond pattern as the vinyl. Will this hurt or help re-sale if I ever decide to sell it? I have the dash out and am replacing the heater core and actuator. The dash is original and uncracked but I know that it is 45 years old and not sure how long it will stay that way. Do you th…

These are available in the Porsche restoration world but I’ve never seen them in the Datsun world. First a confession: I’ve owned my 240Z since 1980. Somewhere along the line, I put in a Griffin alloy radiator and an overflow tank. I mounted the damned overflow just above the VIN plate. This is the result:

Here are a couple updates until the thread is restored. Got the carbs cleaned up and mostly installed. Got new braided hoses from Jay at http://jdm-car-parts.com/. Jay does a great job with these hoses. The quality is amazing and they look great with the wire clamps. Will continue adding parts to motor. Also doing a bit of interior work.

Well here is something that stopped me dead... This thread on HybridZ is about a widebody kit that is being developed for a race car, but I just couldn't believe this wouldn't be a best seller as the next generation retro Z car! Nissan should look at something like this, maybe a little less rear wing and canards, but the overall styling would be a hit IMHO. Widebody Kit

I wanted to get a few opinions on whether is is worth spending close to 1000.00 for a stock AM radio to install in my March 1971 build. Car is rust free, glass out repaint, all original interior in near perfect condition. Engine has been completely rebuilt and except for some non braided hoses looks original. Non original parts are: a 280Z 5 speed and an aftermarket CD player. Any thoughts / opinions would be appreciated.

I own a 1986 300zx that I bought 9 years ago and ever since I bought it, I have wanted a 240z. Well just this weekend I was finally able to acquire something that's definitely far from perfect, but something that I can drive and work on and make into something my own! I have attached a link to the imgur gallery below. I am super happy with the car. It's a 1972 240z. It definitely needs some work, but I can't find any rust that's bad. A little bit of surface rust and that's about it. Which is amazing since this is a midwest car lol. The car has been painted at some point in it's life and it shows how old it is. A lot of little scratches in the paint and such. It used to be…

So far I've been only looking at local Craigslist to stay updated on Z prices, with new post alerts sent to my email. But I wonder, is there a better place to find a Z? I am aware of the For Sale and the Internet Finds forums. Problem is that's over the whole US, sometimes Canada, and not only S30s. It doesn't necessarily have to contain only road-ready Zs, as I don't mind learning. I'd love to hear where y'all found your Z. Also, I'd rather it were based in Texas, or someplace close by... Am I asking for too much? PS: I'm not actively looking for one, I just wanna know if I should be watching other markets

I am looking to purchase some replacement sheet metal for my 1970 240Z and was wondering if all the metal out there is manufactured by Tabco and sold by various retailers like Motorsport/The Z Store? If not, what have you found to be the best quality replacement pieces? Thanks!
