Are any of you people using those family radios for communication? Either in the car or on foot? I just got a Motorola 6200 and it seems to work best between 50ft - 1/2 mile (in the neighborhood). Haven't had a chance to try it on the road. Had it on hand at the airshow last Sunday, but only to listen. I would like to get the new Motorola 7100 radio. Do you people have any favorites? Models to avoid? thx

I took my Z out for the first real run this afternoon. I bought the 72 240 I found here in the classifieds about 2 months ago. The car had been sitting since 93'. So far rebuilt the carbs (z-therapy kit) dropped the fuel tank cleaned, sealed and checked the system, battled a fierce electrical battle. Symptoms of a bad fusible link but turned out a bad ammeter will do the same thing. I have rebuilt the brakes all around. New shoes and cylinders in the back new oem rotors and toyota calipers in the front. The old slotted wheels were pretty coroded so I have been waiting on some BBS e-bay wheels. Wheels showed up with a 4 x 108 pattern. I have had some new Falken 205 60 14's…

well i went Z shopping today and my luck was great. Im sure just about everyone here knows about my former Z which turned out to be a rust bucket. Well anyways im searching through some local ads and i find a 1976 280z in a few towns over. So i call the guy and i go down there to check it out today. I looked it over and couldnt find much wrong with it besides the obvious floor pans. Its a total project car that the resto was started on but never finished, and damn was this thing clean. It had brand new OEM fenders (not even screwed on yet). So i take them off to get a good look at the shell and it seems solid as a rock except a little rot spot near the very front e…

I have heard from several of you trying to sell me an assist grip for the DRIVERS door. It doesn't have one! I now know that after advertising for one in classifieds. My BAD! I have owned 5 Z's over the years. It has been 25 years since I owned my '70. I bought this '71 in CA and drove it back to Oregon from California. After having it for a few days, started stripping it for restoration. It has been 8 months and I am finally putting it back together. I found only one 'assist grip' and thought I misplaced one. After checking the situation out, I discovered the 240 doesn't have one on the drivers door. Ouch! You caught me on this one. I will never make another mistake at l…

Hi, i recently bought a 1972 240z however the resto project turned out terrible... the car ended up being a rust bucket. I was searching local ads and found a 1976 Datsun 280zx coupe. Its a project car, and i was wondering if there is anything i should pay attention to other than the obvious rotted floor pans, and frame rails before i purchase it. Also i havent seen anyone with a 76 280zx only 81 and on. Is there such a thing? Im only familiar with 240's. If anyone has a couple pics of a 76 280zx i would like to see em aswell

how much fluid volume would your engine hold if you were so inclined to fill it? from the oil pan to the top of your oil cap port. on my car this would mean the oil pan, a 280 block, su's and an e88 head. the fluid would fill the return hose, intake, cylinders, carbs and don't forget to plug the dip stick port. the valve cover alone might take a gallon. i filled mine with atf as a detergent while its in for paint and body. considering i made three trips to the parts store for more and the amasement of those who watched me do it; i'm curious if anyone could guess just how much it held. post your answers in quarts and i'll post what was my reality (for my car). feel free to…

Emblem ideas? 1 2

I screwed up while refreshing my '73, and now I have holes from a dealer plaque/emblem on the driver's side of the hatch lid, and nothing to use for an emblem there. I tried locating an original dealer badge (a long-shot, I know) but Gregory Datsun Sales in Chattanooga, TN is long gone. Does anybody have an idea for what I can put there? I really don't want to fill the holes and repaint the hatch. All panels match because I painted the entire car in 1 session (original mettalic gray/silver).... -Ken :stupid:
