Do any of you know if the side molding on some of the 72 and 73 240's is stock? I've noticed a few on ebay and other classifieds that have the black strip running down both sides of the car. It doesnt look bad, but I like the cleaner look. The 73 I just purschased has this but the car is still in transit, so I havent seen it in person. Is this molding screwed on, can it be taken off without showing any damage, etc. Any thoughts please let me know. Here is a link to one on ebay that has the molding in case I'm calling it by the wrong term. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1972-DATSUN-240Z_W0QQitemZ150065187522QQihZ005QQcategoryZ6187QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Inside the wheel well, near the front, there's a rubber elbow/grommet, that the headlamp & front side marker wiring passes through. The microfiche calls it a 'sealing-headlamp support.' 63814-E4100 Where can you get those? thx

It would be great for small suspension parts and what-nots...

priming the car 1 2

I am planning on having the shell of my 240z chemical dipped to remove the paint, rust, etc. My question is: when you are down to bare metal, what is the best way to prime the metal? I have seen cans of self etching primer at Autozone, etc. but have heard that many primers are actually porous and won't save the metal from rust. It may be some time between the stripping and the painting. I don't have the money to go straight from the dip to paint. Also, there is some body work to be done. So, can I buy a bunch of cans of primer and slap some on to protect it until the eventual paint or is an epoxy primer (that someone else has to do) the only way to go? Thanks. Ca…

So I just bought this great Z. The 2nd owner painted it a horrible burgundy color that is all faded now. The paint job was not quality. So it needs to be redone. The original pant code is #905 red, with the sticker preserved on the radiator support. I really like the #114 green that was offered in the first years. http://zhome.com/History/ZColorGallary/113green2.jpg Would it affect the value of the car to change the paint color from the factory original? I am thinking no, especially because the engine is a replacement and no longer numbers matching. Pretty much any new paint will significantly increase the value of the car. My question is will repainting the car the origi…

I am in the process of removing the undercoating from my rear wheel well. I am encountering the factory seam sealer at the fender/body seam. I plan on applying POR-15 in the wheel well once finished. I know I need to replace the seam sealer, but I am concerned that the POR-15 will not adhere to it. Conversely, I am concerned that the seam sealer will not adhere to the POR-15 if I were to do the reverse. Any suggestions? Thank you, Bo

We've tried and tried over at Hybridz to come up with some information about this car and it's bodykit, but came up dry. It seems somebody sniped the pictures from a guy that sniped the pictures, and nobody knows anything at all about it. Does anybody here have any info about what's become known as the Monza Mystery Z? I'm hoping it's not a one-off bodykit, but I'm starting to resign myself...Sure does look like it was meant for the JGTC, doesn't it?
