This 240z was setting in a field for about 7 years {with the windows down}next to my brother in laws. The first time I looked at car I saw the floors rusted out and that the sway bar had been ripped from the frame and offer the owner $500. He said no way but about 6 months later he asked my in law if I would still buy car. So for $500 I purchased a 240Z With car in my home pulled fenders off looking for more rust. Other then the floors no rust in car. But noticed where the emblems where the holes had been welded. All the emblems on car had been removed. Also a 5 speed transmission installed. Schell seats where installed. I order Mad Dog frame rails,sway bar stif…

I am considering using a 33318 drier since the supply of 33286 (low intake port) driers is pretty much gone. I got the 33318 on the way but not sure of the correct switch. FSM says its a high pressure cut off, but I assume a binary would be fine. Any one know of a correct sized switch for the 33318? I got a NOS compressor (SWP) ready to go, have some dye in it now to see if there are any leaks around the condenser. It has a slow leak so will need to deal with it in a few months. I just hope its not leaking at the evap. My you tube channel is Dave WM https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxMsHgfGwCVtyRrqXVtll-g

I need to remove the glass from my '77 280z OEM door mounted side mirror without breaking it (hopefully). Does anyone have a good method to remove the glass from the OEM door mirror housing? It appears there is a backing plate the mirror glass is attached to, does anyone know how the glass is attached to the backing plate (glue, double stick tape, etc)? Is there access through the backing plate to the 2 screws that hold the mount for the backing plate into the housing? Does anyone know if there is a source for the replacement mirror glass cut to shape for the '77 280Z?

Damn fellas I'm supposed to fly out to Redmond OR tomorrow and make the 280 mile drive home in my new 73 240. Weather calls for scattered showers and I cringe at the idea of the car being exposed to all that water. Do I make the drive or re schedule? I will lose the cost of the flight ....what would you all do? Thanks Jr Video added Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

Hey guys, As you can see in the title, I purchased my first S30 this afternoon from the original owner’s mother. It is a silver 1974 260z. VIN RLS30-035938 with Build Date 5/74. It has rust in the usual places, but starts, idles, and drives. This is my first resto project, and I am excited... I paid $600, and couldn’t be more proud. What details can you gather from my VIN and Build date, as far as production #s, options, etc? PS, I know the 260 is the black sheep, and to some, the least desirable... so if you are going to be negative, I don’t need your opinion. I bought this to restore with my son, not to send to auction. Can’t wait to hear from you guys, THANKS!

Such a beautiful day out and I only drive my '72 240Z on these type days so I was considering having a sunroof or similar of high quality installed. It's garage kept and if and only if it sees rain is when I unexpectedly get caught out in inclement weather so no issues with any leakage to worry with. Since its Sunday and everything's closed I was hoping someone could share their experience on the cost, fit and finish of a nice sunroof/moonroof for our cars. This isn't a definite decision but something I'm considering so I'm asking the forum for advice or some type of direction on the options I have. Thank you for taking the time to reply with any pertinent information on …
