Francesco Posted May 10, 2011 Share #1 Posted May 10, 2011 (edited) 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 thecoming 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 phoneme? 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 Franceso Edited May 10, 2011 by Francesco spelling error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveJ Posted May 10, 2011 Share #2 Posted May 10, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary in NJ Posted May 10, 2011 Share #7 Posted May 10, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
