Looking at a 71 survivor which was mentioned a few days ago in the title "Too rich for my blood". I have spoken to the dealer and gathered additional information. It's a two owner car with what looks to have a very solid body, 48,000 miles, original interior and paint. It sat in storage for 11 years before the dealer purchased it. they flushed the fuel tank, rebuilt the braking system and carbs, flushed the coolant and changed the fluids to get it running again. I had the dealer send me a bunch of under-body pics and pin point any flaws in the paint. I am trying to figure out how to include these photos since they were sent via Google Drive. Dealer has a little room…

Looking for suggestions to clean stains from the white Vinyl in this 71 Z that I just acquired. I'm recovering the seats with new vinyl but would like to save the door cards and the wrap on the trans tunnel. I have tried a number of household cleaners but have haven't had much luck. Thanks for any suggestions! How do you guys like the groovy white/blue seats?? Jay

UPDATE 10/8/2017: Decided to make this my "build thread". Summary: I recently bought a 1978 280z with an L28ET swapped into it. The owner did the swap in 2005 and left the car almost completely stock otherwise while driving it 1k-2k miles per year. It is a perfect base car for a fun project! My goal is to make it drive/handle like a modern car and eliminate any weird noises. I don't know much about the Z's or older cars in general, but I have done a lot of suspension work with my Nissan Xterra and several motorcycles. Once I freshen it up and get suspension and looks down, I'll likely start adding to engine power. Key: [x] = Done [-] = In progress …

I'm reinstalling the diamond pattern material in my 72Z after removal for paint. Does anyone have a recommendation for the best adhesive to use or maybe also what to avoid using?

I'm ready to bet that any of you have a plastic tote in the garage full of old cordless tools collecting dust...do I get an Amman? Lately I needed an angle drill...and the only one I found in my storage is an old craftsman...the batteries died many years ago and I could find no batteries for it so I did some digging and found that there is a product called "usb adapter" for all major modern tool batteries (Milwaukee m18 in my case) but they also available for makita, dewalt ect...for well under $15. Originally its intended as an adapter that you can charge your cell phone off your tool batteries ....however it also makes a perfect platform for re powering just a…

I recently discovered the "Modification Plus" manual that documents factory authorized fuel system modifications to 1973 240z. This manual refers a number of times to the prior "V-3 Modification Program." Is there a factory manual for the V-3 Modifications? I am specifically interested in finding a wiring diagram for the Relay A and Relay B fuel pump relays. Thanks!!!

I am trying to find the origin of the emblem to the right. At first glance, it looks like a series 1 b pillar emblem but notice the "Z" is chrome. I believe It always was and it lacks a raised border. A couple of years ago, I bought an old car along with a bunch of old parts. The emblem was in a box with the parts. The emblem on the left came from my vin 5xxx car. Does anyone know the origin of the one to the right? They are both the exact same size (even though they don't appear to be in the photos). The casting on the back of both are identical. They are both made of pot metal. The one on the right was mounted on a car at one time. The clips are still on the…
