I am getting ready to start putting the car together. Do you think it would be easier to install the hatch glass with the hatch on the car or on a table? I am thinking it would be easier with the hatch mounted on the car.

Hi all! I have been looking for a while to add a classic Z to my modern Z collection and have came across a clean 75 280Z but saw something odd that I have not seen on other S30's which seems to look or be a soft top with sunroof. Here is a photo of the car. Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Is getting a new fuel rail worth it? I definitely want to clean up the engine bay and get something prettier in there. I was looking at the godzilla race works rail that comes with a built in gauge. But after doing some price calculations I’m looking at around 380-400 in total price. Was wondering if anyone could shine some light if its worth it or not before pulling the trigger.

Hey gang, I recall seeing recent posts of someone getting new or refurbed sail panel and/or other body emblems, can't recall the company doing them. Any help? Thanks, Jim

As a new owner of a 240Z (2018) it amazes me when I meet a original owner of a Z purchased new and beloved for 50+ years. Several owners at ZCON had similar stories. Hagerty posted a story of a 240Z owner, check it out on Hagerty site, weekend road trips. https://www.hagerty.com/media/car-profiles/original-owner-a-navy-sailor-returns-home-to-a-new-datsun-240z/?

Figured I'd post up another build thread we've been working on for some time now, if anything for the entertainment of others to view. This is my personal Z I've had for some time now. Was actually in the process of tearing it down when a Series-1 came up for sale locally, temporarily putting the project on hold. If you're more interested in a completely bone stock resto you can hop over to that build thread here: Restoration of HLS30-12070 Back on the current build and some history on the car. It’s a late '72 build that had been sitting since '86 in dry storage when I bought it. 51K on the clock, few bumps and bruises but a very solid and complete car to work …

Hi, For someone who is interested in aerodynamics of our S30 cars, here is a thesis made by Nissan engineers in May 21st 1971. Aerodynamic Study on Passenger Car Body Configurations / Michio TAKEI, Hikota SAKAMOTO, Kazuhiko YOSHIYUKI. The effects of G-nose and spoilers are quite noticeable, 7 pages of this thesis is worth to read. I'm not an engineer so some of the numerical formulas are unable to understand but the figures and illustrates work easy for me. So, I tried to show one of their data. Those numbers in pictures are excerption from the thesis. The only thing which I am not for sure is the data of Clr for the rear spoiler only configurati…

Hi, I’ve had serval posts on my 1978 280z, I got really busy with school and work so I stopped working on the car. I had it sorta running about 8 months ago, till the hood latch pully broke and I just parked it and never got to it. I really want to get it going to at least drive on a weekend or so. I got a better job recently and want to throw in some money to get it running smoother. Does anyone know where I can start? On rebuilding, upgrading or replacing? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I thought I remembered a map with "stick pins" with member locations? I'm a snowbird and spend winters in the St George, Utah area. This year I've seen a very nice black Z with the tail light panel painted silver, no bumpers and it has a V8. I stopped the guy once but didn't get his name, he said he had to get on the move before he over heated. Since I've seen the car a couple of times weeks apart from each other I'm guessing the car is local to the St George, UT area. I'd like to see that map and see if I can find this person.

I talked to ST suspension and was told sway bars made for stock 240Z's with L24 drivetrain might not be compatible with my car. Is this true? If so what would be compatible with my car?
