So im in the parking lot at school one day about to back out when this girl in the parking space behind me backs out. She keeps coming and coming and ends up backing into the side of my car. I get out just in time to watch her speed off. I get the tag # and report it to the school "police" Needless to say they do noting about it and how I am left to deal with this on my own since i only have liability insurance on the car. Now i need to find a way to get this fixed. Would it be best to take it to a body shop and have them do it, Bang it out with a hammer and bondo it? If you can see in the photo, there was some rust in there that cracked when she hit it, so that ma…

I am cleaning up my '71 Z tail light assy's and noticed that the driver lenses are much darker then the passenger lenses. Is this due to age or have they changed their lenses with newer light assy? I think the passenger T/L lense has been changed. I like the newer lenses. Can I get lighter lenses or do you have to buy the complete assy?

Saw a 74 240z the other day. I took a photo of the VIN plate so I'll post it when I can. Anyone else seen this? It also had 240z interior door trims but pull handles on both doors... wierd. Must be one of the last 240's ever..

Here's a question to all... What makes an Nissan/Datsun OEM part, an OEM part aside from being sold by an authorized Nissan dealer?? Reason I ask is that I called Courtesy Nissan to order a set for the door's, the parts guy came back with a price of $125.00 for one side, and $115.00 for the other, When I confirmed with the parts guy that this was for a 71 Z, he said that these seals would work on all Z's from 70 -78. After reading all of the articles on the board about after market seals being different in thickness due to a change in door gap(?) It makes me wonder if these are original factory spec seals, Thus my question if Nissan is farming the manufacturing of the se…

I have 2 240's and one 260. Each one has her unique problems. 2ed #1 is pretty straight but is well-rusted underneath (I bought it for $150 for the carbs and the windshield, but she's been good for many other parts). Zed #2 has only minor rust and is very straight from the front compression rod mounts back, but she has had damage to her nose. I'll spare you the details, but she's crooked. A frame shop has obviously worked on her but couldn't get her perfect. I think she's close enough that she's driveable, but it's possible she will be tough to align and set up properly. With the exception of her warped front, Zed #2 is clearly the best of the two. This is not a restorat…

My Z was Ziebarted when I bought it. Don't know how old it is or who would even have done it. (Dealer at sale or Mom and Pop garage later on) I've heard the Ziebart is not as good at protecting the body from rust as you might be led to believe. Any experience/ideas on what to look/look out for? Thanks in advance.

I mastered the lock assemblies and the new locks work great. (I even had a new lock built for the hatch) I am now ready to start putting in the glass. What is the process? (1 - Put the stainless window channel on 2) - Put the forward glass channel on. 3) - ????? I do not know what goes on next, and next and next???????? I can figure this out just like I did with the lock mechanisms. But, it would be nice to have someone give me the order of putting everything together. How about someone who has done this a few times? :surprised
