Have there been any new developments in the media used in fire extinguishers? I recently looked at a number of units, from Kidde to FirstAlert, and anything with a 10 B:C rating had a dry powder media. So if I'm right, dry powder is corrosive and messy, and not very desireable for use on valuable cars. The only thing that would be OK to use on a Z would be the FireAide product, but those only come in little 16 oz. bottlles, and is only rated 1A:10B. If you had your choice (or requirement), what would you carry in the car? thx

Over memorial weekend I'll be drivin my Z around 900 miles from NW MT to the SE tip of Wyoming to where I'm going to college... I'm worried my Z might break down somewhere on the way. It runs very good now, but I have never driven it over a 100 mile trip. I recently got a full coolant flush and will do a oil change before I go. Also a basic tune up of course. On a trip like this, whats the most common thing that goes out? Just about anything engine mechanical or electrical I can fix myself. But what about other areas that might go out? U-joints and wheel bearings all look good. I "have" to be back on tuesday and worried about not makin it if something happens. I can't g…

We have discussed reproducing decals on other threads. I just wanted to post an update on my project. I have been reproducing decals for my own car and wanted to share what has been done with others interested. My only commercial interest is to help reduce my costs with these projects by offering them to other club members interested. Pictures of the three decals that I have done, so far, are posted in my gallery. Let me know what you think of the accuracy, authenticity, or use of these, and any other questions you may have. I am, currently, doing the master vac decal and may need your help and advice in duplicating the correct embossed, or stamped, numbers, but only …

I was given a '73 240 that had been sitting in the weeds since '91. And now that I've gotten the transmission out of it I'd like to pass it along to someone who can use other pieces. Unless you're a glutton for punishment I doubt it can be restored but there are a few unrusted body parts and except for the tranny all the mechanicals are there. When I swap the tranny into my daily driver that car's transmission will be available. (It works but has a habit of jumping out of gear 'til it's warmed up) I'm located in Bellingham, WA Look way up and to the left on a map. Dave

Does anyone know when in 1974 (what month) that the bumpers changed from the 240z style to the bigger 280z type? I've always heard of early '74 vs. late '74. Now looking at my 260z, which has the earlier 240z style bumpers and turn signals down below, I see the production date in the door jamb shows 8/74, indicating the final month of 1974 production. Can someone shed some light on this?

Take a look at these mirrors that came off a SI 240z I wrecked years ago. Both were fitted on the doors and have only holes to suit these mirrors, only other time Ive seen a pair was on another red SI 240. They have made in Japan on the base and are made of metal, do you guys think it came original?

well guys I know your tired of reading my posts of almosts, but this ones for sure I' ve found out that the first Z that Ive ever seen in person has not been sold infact its right around the corner from me literally. Remeber me mentioning my step dads karate instructors Z and how I thought it was a 280z well I was wrong its a 240 or 260z. I think its a 240 because of the bumbers, but I didnt get a chance to look at the front turning signals to confirm cause it hase no emblems except front. Anyway since I know he was intending to sell it and since hes my step dads instructor Im going for it. Its very nice most likely has some rust somewhere but none that is directly notic…

I have a 1971 z, i do not know what i should sell it for. The body has rust, but you have to get up close to notice it. the floor pans have a small rust hole, seats are in good condition, wiring on the car is pretty bad, but i have replacement rear harness, brand new head light and turn signal switch (300 value). Car comes with replacement windshield, 2 good carbs, 2 sets of disassembled carbs, 2 door panels and arms rests from later model z. Engine runs strong, has points distributor and brand new unopened electronic distributor and higher performance coil. no leaks in engine.. cant get rear brakes to work, front work good. overall it is basically a project car If anyon…

Best Buy Me color? 1 2 3

For many reasons I'm thinking of selling my Z when it's finished. Paint is about all I have to do before reassembly starts. The car is not stock so keeping the original color is not important and the car is prepped for a complete color change and has a black interior. So what do you think would make the best "Buy Me" color? I've put just the basic colors in as there are so many variations of each.
