I tried to find the thread concerning the 240z on Ebay a few weeks ago. The one that had the amazing list of parts but the photos were lacking. Anyway I tracked the guy down in L.A. He agreed to sale me the N42 race prep head so I jumped. The parts this guy has new in boxes and just laying around in bins labeled is simply amazing. Everything I mean everything you could think of brand new. Coil over sets, rubber seals, rear disc brake conversions, Twin TD06 turbine set with rebuilt turbines, emblems, anything with a fairlady badge, G nose kit with hinges, Brand new Watanabes with Brand new Nito's, R200 brand new never installed, energy suspension kit, Triple carbs kit…

Well I was just skimming through the clasifieds section on sites to find a 260z and well this one seems different. I asked the seller to send me some more pics of the car and it seems like some kind of special edition, but no info on the car was brought up on google. Can someone please fill me on this car strange features. It seems the interior is a bit different from what im use to its tan or butterscotch yes, but it has multi shades of brown stripes in the seat and an DATSUN emblem on the dash below the three gauges:surprised . The exterior looks like a regular early 260z but the rear spoiler looks like the one on the special edition 280z and says what i thought to be…

This is only Z related because I am an owner. The family and I will be relocating, courtesy of Uncle Sam, to Las Vegas, NV. I will begin my recuiting duty at Centennial Station in October. The bad news is that we wanted to go south. The good news is I will be able to make it to next years West Coast Nationals. Z yall west coasters soon.

Hi All, While coming out of a bank here in Palm Springs I ran into a guy getting out of a fairlady. I spoke with him for about 30 minutes about the car and it turns out that he purcahsed it 14 years ago from the original owner that brought it in from Japan while stationed in the military. The owner stated that he's driven the car daily for the last fourteen years and has never had to perform any major work to the engine or tranny. The car has over five hundred thousand miles on it! He has pictures of him and Mr. K. next to the car and even has Mr. K.'s signature under the hood. The car is in rough shape but it is all there and would be fairly easy to restore. It was…

I've reached the age where my practical family carrying minivan days are behind me, and after leasing a Altima for a little over a year, I'm enjoying driving again. I really like pretty much all the Z cars, but where I live you don't see to much of them. (Michigan) I'm not really interested so much in horsepower as a car that is sporty, handles well, reliable, and fun to drive. I've been lurking on a number of Z Boards and have these thoughts - 240Z - Looks like a great car but nice ones with no rust are somewhat expensive and at my age, certain creature comforts are appreciated. 260Z/280Z - Also nice cars, except for the hideous bumpers! Do they compare well with …

I just left the DMV and the funniest thing happened. The DMV clerk stated since my car was built in Sept 1970 that it should be registered as a 1970 and not a 1971. I was under the assumption that September signified the start of the new year. In any case, the car is now registered and titled as a 1970. Should I try to correct them or should I just leave well enough alone?

I have a 1976 280z, and CA recently repealed the rolling smog exemption legislation. Since then, I've had a set of headers put on the car. It does have the smog fitting, which has a tube running from the header to the EGR valve. I'm not too worried about the visual inspection, it looks pretty darn clean with that heat sheild hiding most of the header anyway. I'm running a test pipe right now, and I have a brand new cat sitting in my room to swap in on smog day. You think this puts me in good shape? There might be a small leak in the bottom of the header, could this affect my pass/fail status you think? BTW, I'm so pissed my car missed the exemption by no more than 5 mont…

I brought home a parts car today. It is a later '71, HLS30-27602 built 4/71. It is seriously damaged, but still has a fair number of useable parts, some that will go on my car, some I'll keep as spares, and some I'll sell. The poor thing is basically totalled. It had a touch of rust under the battery box when the prior owner's son spun it through the weeds and slid into a telephone pole between 2 and 3 years ago. No body panels are undamaged, and the driver's frame rail is collapsed. So the bodyshell is trash. The engine is supposed to have been in great shape prior to the accident, but the fan was pushed into the radiator and so it hasn't been started in close to 3 yea…
