Has anyone seen this type of weatherstripping for a Z? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/ebayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1832804540&r=0&t=0 Guy claims that it will work better than factory or aftermarket. Of COURSE he's gonna make that claim. Sheesh. Anyway, I really wonder if it would work. After installing my hatch weatherstripping over the weekend, I could go for something that's GLUELESS! That stuff gets everywhere! [m]

I've been driving my new 240 around for a few days now and have noticed an awful lot of clunking and creaking. I've just bought the Z Therapy video and I'll get round to changing the bushings over one day - that should sort out the clunking. I'm a bit concerned about the creaking though, while it seems to be coming from the interior decorative paneling which does not have all of its plastic rivets in place surely the cause of it is the body flexing. How much 'flexing' should a 240 do before I should worry? I'm not driving like a maniac, quite the opposite since I wrote off the 260 last weekend. I'm driving it like a Volvo with a fish sticker in the rear window.

I have been to PepBoys, AutoZone, OSH, and Home Depot looking for something very similar to the gaskets Nissan used for our tool doors behind the front seats. That "U" cross section is just about perfect for what I need to use it for. It could be black rubber or vinyl - that much doesn't matter to me. I need it for a different application and was looking for four 3' sections. Any idea on where I could get something like this? -e

I've got some 6x9 pioneers mounted in the storage bin.. a problem is that the carpet that goes over the speakers dampens the sound, if you were to mount in the storage bin, you might consider customizing the carpet to free up the speakers.

I asked a similiar question earlier but now am thinking that a 240Z dash might become available or a 280Z dash. My 280Z dash is evidently not there. I looked under my dash cap to see how bad it was and was shicked to find there WAS NO DASH! It looks like someone has sawed out the top of the dash and then covered with a cap. At least I have easy access to my dash lights now. I want to keep my options open. Will a 240Z dash fit on a '75 280Z? Complications?

Ahahah... you are so curious! I have no pict of it but I may have a tips for you. I was looking at the MSA pictures and while some peoples went very far on the sport or custom look, I was a little disappointed by the side mirror looks on their cars. I am also a motorcycle nut and I encourage you to check the mirrors the superbikes have. We have some really nice shape here and they have (for my taste of course) the right size for a car like a Z. With a nice tricky look, but not too busy… This is just another option! Just my 0,10 euro, Fred

After I get done with the mechanical issues on my 240z I am going to paint it. I have painted a couple of cars years ago and i was wondering if anyone knows of any sites or books where I can get some current tips on painting and kinds of paint. Thanks, Mark

Today I have checked out 2 x 1971 240's. One was a a very sad example despite being advertised as an immaculate original and the second was in excellent condition with nothing but a little bit of bubbling on the passengers sill. The battery box and inside the wheel arches are fine. However, there is a crack in the paint between the quater light and the rear hatch fairly close to the top of the hatch. There does not appear to be any distortion in the shape of the rear of the car and the area around the crack is solid. Could this just be a crack in the paint caused by age or is it symptomatic of something more serious. If anyone has any ideas please let me know ASAP as I a…
