Greetings all. First off, a quick introduction. After looking for a long time, the "right" 240z came up for sale locally recently. Originally a Texas car, it has no rust whatsoever. It was a 1972, with all the mechanicals restored. A new 2.8L short block, rebuilt head, new carb/suspension/brakes/radiator. Interior parts were either restored, or originals were in great shape. All in all, the only thing the car needs in paint and a windshield. So we came to a fair price, and I took it home last week. Very excited!

I have a early 1974 datzun 260z on the drivers side rear tire is the inner fender wheel well I call it . just below that is a small panel the attaches to it like so you do not see the muffler from looking at the rear tire [inside behind tire] . I guess if you had mud flaps back there the flaps might cover it . it is a small curved panel so as road dirt does not fly up on to the muffler. any way I need one and can not find what the name Nissan called it as so I maybe can look up the part # or source a used one . I have one on the pass. side but not the drivers side .anybody know what it is called or better have one for sale. kind regards kully

I was searching for a new jack to replace the old rusty one, and I eventually came across a slick jack that you get with your Mercedes, Chrysler, Honda, Volve, et al. It is a pantograph design is much lighter (about half) than the heavy scissor jack, and lifts the car in a similar way to the scissor jack. What I didn't like about it, is that it only contacts the car on one side of the rocker seam, so it looks like it might slip off. The cars designed to use the jack have a dent or pocket to hold the lifting pad.

After doing some major reconstructive surgery to the under fender area I'm off to replacing the rocker and dogleg areas. Does anyone have a picture of how it's supposed to look in the rear dogleg area?

I am attempting to put new bumper rubber strips on my 72Z. As you can see the replacements are shorter. I bought another set and got the same thing. P/N 62690-E4100. Anyone else ever run into this?

When installing a new windshield and gasket, which channel in the gasket should I apply sealant if any? I have a new windshield and gasket from Precision that I plan on installing this weekend on my 240z. I plan to document the install with lots of pictures to share with the community.
