Who will answer my car questions about my 1971 Datsun 240Z? I am the sole owner;

bought her new and still have her on the road..but she needs alittle help now.

Will professional mechanics or other members answer questions I may post in the

coming weeks? How knowledgeable are the people who provide answers?

Will I be permitted to follow-up with a person by phone or have a person phone

me?

How soon will I receive a response to my posted questions?

Are there any fringe benefits to my membership?

This is my very first post so I need an orientation--answers to the above

questions are essential. Thanks--looking forward to an RSVP--ASAP

Roll the dice and take your chances. The level of knowledge varies from individual to individual.

Use the search engine here. There's a lot of good information in the forums. It just takes time to search and read.

For the best answers:

1. Describe the problem thoroughly. When did it start? What symptoms did you notice? When does it happen?

2. Describe one problem per post. Don't combine a mechanical problem with an electrical problem.

3. Post the problems in the appropriate forum.

4. Make sure you have looked in that forum for a similar problem. Many of us have been here for quite a while, so we may not want to answer the same question for the 3rd, 4th, or 10th time.

5. Don't hijack threads. Make sure you are asking relevent questions when you add to a thread.

Speed of responses depends upon time of day, accuracy of description, and sometimes even your attitude. The more you appreciate the advice, the more advice (and faster) you'll receive.

Welcome.

Hi Franceso and welcome to the group. Glad to have another '71 original owner in the mix.

To answer your questions, which I've numbered above....

1. Possibly some of each, generally owners responding based on their experiences.

2. It will range from VERY to HARDLY. Your job is to evaluate and use what you can.

3. Possibly, but probably not. You can send a personal message through the forum for direct contact.

4. Responses often come in minutes. But, days, weeks, and months are not unusual.

5. Discounts on parts, member ads, FREE help and emotional support, and the ability to tap into thousands of years of actual owners's Z experiences. What could be better?

Welcome to the site. You will find a collective wealth of information and kindred spirits here. jlp

You need carbs..... nyuck nyuck

Just our way of showing how easily the info flows here, we give answers before the questions have been asked...

I can ring you and answer some questions. Just send me a private message with your number and time zone and a convenient time to call.

This is an open forum, not customer service for Nissan USA. Ask questions and evaluate the information received. We do this for love, not glory.

This post, as they say, looks, sounds and walks like a duck......just sayin'.....

Welcome to the site - a lot of eye's on your first message............we maybe be faster than you expected.................

70 views and 8 responses and the first 24 hours has not even gone around the clock!

I think what we have here is a failure to communicate.
