Hey Guys! What do you guys think is going to be a better thing to do??? Get new rubber for the stock bumpers on my 76 280 or get a bumper off of a 260 and get a front spolier??? Its seams to me that the only rumber you can get is the end pieces.

hi, I decided to replace the broken speedo cable in my '71 240 z. Purchased a new cable from blackdragon, but i have 1 problem. The connector for my speedometer-end is different. The old one has a metal threaded end and the new one has a white plastic lock-in type connector. Obviously the plastic connector does not fit. The transmission-end connectors for both cable are the same. Do i have the wrong part? has anyone ever run into this problem? The part number for my cable matches with the one specified in the blackdragon catalogue.I searched the forums but didnt' find any concrete answers. I hope someone can help! Thanks

New Lime Z Owner 1 2

Hello All, Happy to report I joined the Z Owner's Club! I bought the Lime Z from member DougN. I have driven it about 600 miles so far. I'm heading back to NH this weekend with a couple of stops along the way. I don't want to jinx myself but the car runs great! Doesn't seem like a 36 year old car. Some kids at a gas station asked me if it was a race car, I told them I was Speed Racer! I will get some pictures posted next week when it's all cleaned up. I want to thank alot of people here who gave me advice and offered help in my search for a car. Thanks to all!

Installing the 15" Konig Rewinds on my Black Pearl yesterday, and the wheel cap on the fronts (only) seems to be (a) too short to clear the dust cap and ( even if it did, the taper of the front spindle appears that it will interfere with the ability of the cap to "snap" into the wheel center hole. Is anyone aware of a solution for such a thing? I have heard there are thinner dust caps, but can't seem to find any. Or perhaps does Konig make either a different wheel cap or some sort of adaptor so the caps will fit. The car looks Wonderful with the wheels, but it'd be nice to cover the dust cap. Suggestions would be most welcome.

I can't remember if I posted this before or not, a quick search makes me think not. Anyway, for those of you who are interested in the odd date codes and such, here is a picture of a tag that I found on top of the transmission tunnel, under the console. The part number that is hand-written on it, seems to indicate a sub-part for the main console. At least, I can't find the entire number on the fiche, but the first half (86700) always is the console itself. Anyone want to take a stab at decoding it?

Going to trailer my new (to me) Black Pearl home on Saturday, dormant since '87. When it was stored the tank was topped off and of course it's all evaporated now. Thinking of throwing either a gallon of denatured alcohol or a gallon of paint thinner in the tank with 2 or 3 gallons of gas for the bouncy trailer ride home to help get the "goo" broken up. Thoughts on which one to pick? Mike

Does anyone know where I can purchase these items new? I looked in the MSA catalog & may have missed it, but didn't see them. I checked out Banzai's website & didn't find it there either.

Hey everybody, first off, I just wanted to thank everybody who has helped me out with good advice. I'm a new Z owner and own a fixer-upper, so I've needed a bit of help lately! It turned out that what was wrong with my clutch was...the retainer clip on the clutch fork (that clips to the pivot ball) was bent ever-so slightly and wasn't doing its job. I'm fine with getting a new clutch since the one I pulled off looked ancient. Kinda figured it'd end up being something small... Anyway, I'm having various electrical problems which are very similar to the ones described over at The Z Garage (http://datsunzgarage.com/engine/ -- scroll down to 'Alternator Upgrade') I own a '74…
