There is a 1977 280Z on ebay now that says it is a "ZZZAP" special edition with a decal delete http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Datsun-Z-Series-77-280Z-ZZZAP-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem3cb6b12345QQitemZ260763099973QQptZUSQ5fCarsQ5fTrucks#v4-39. To me that just makes it a 411 Sun Yellow 280Z, but the interesting thing is it has what looks to be a customized plaque on the console that says: 1977 Datsun 280-Z HLS30 385188 Customer Order Production Model For Sam S. Melnick Nissan Motor Co., LTD. Yokohama, Japan April 1977 I've never seen a plaque like that before on any S30, but it looks like it could be authentic. I didn't think any US market S30s could be custom ord…

This car is either mis-listed as a '71, or some '71s came with hatch vents and '70 sail panel emblems, but I am certainly no expert on early Zs. Anyway... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Datsun-Z-Series-1971-DATSUN-240Z-VERY-CLEAN-ITS-AGE-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem1c1b0f7d22QQitemZ120713084194QQptZUSQ5fCarsQ5fTrucks

Since we've all cooled down about the Z car listed at 38K, I would like to say that while I'm a Z owner only for 9 months, I've been a pro musician/guitar buyer/seller/collector for almost 5 decades, so I do have some experience with mid-level collectibles. Which the Z car in general and the Z car in question may or may not be. There are guitars selling for 6 figure amounts that sold for $300 in 1959. There are electric guitars in the mid-5 figures that sold for $250 in 1962. What it takes is someone who has so much money that those figures are capricious to raise the bar to levels unheard of by normal folk. There are many, many, young and mid-aged people making great mon…

Alright, ive done all the researching that i know how to do and came up with nothing. So Iam going to ask. Where are the best spots to lift from on, a stock L28 out of a 75 280z? Ive removed small blocks before, and theyre extremely easy. And im sure eventually i would find some good spots, but i thought i would get the experts opinions first. Any suggestions would be very helpful. Thank you.

Some punk broke the mast from the power antenna. :mad: Yes, I should have retracted it but I didn't. :stupid: I thought that antennaX (ebay) had the correct replacement mast but it is not correct. I would prefer not to replace the whole unit with an aftermarket. I have an up/down switch on the console and a two wire connector back at the unit. I have only found units with a good motor and no mast, which is what I have. Hopefully someone out there has a unit with a bad motor and a good mast?

Greetings, Not exactly sure where this should go, but here goes. While out hunting for a turn signal switch for my 1972 240Z (see my post under Parts Swaps) at the Stockton, California Pick 'n Pull I came across the following vehicles / parts which may be of interest. 1971? 240Z (for sure). Pretty thrashed out, had the E48? intake manifold I posted about under Carbs. Sheet metal not bad on left, but cut up, literally cut up on right side. Very odd. Hood in good shape, seats possible, though they can't appreciate being under a bunch of parts from misc. cars. 1981 280ZX 2+2: Close to complete. 1976 280Z 2+2: Appears to be an abandoned project car. I'm not an expert …

Ride height 1 2 3

I know this has been discussed before, and I did do a search, but I am looking for a quick answer please. I replaced the rear struts and kept the same springs, but now it looks like the ride height has increased. Is this right? Dosen't the car ride on the springs and not the struts? Why would the height chage if I am correct. Am I wrong as usual?
