I bought my 240z less about a year ago and recently joined as a member here. I was planing to replace the front fenders and the bumpers. My question is, Does anyone know of any inexpensive aftermarket parts? I'm a student on a tight budget and i don't want to sell it. I would prefer a metal fenders and plastic bumpers, but fiberglass would be okay too. I was also woundering, does anyone know if you can leave the stock metal rail bumper in and place a plastic or fiberglass bumper over it? I thank you in advance for you help and input.

I second that! I got their catalog about 5 years ago (never owned a Z car yet though ) It's great to just leaf through and get ideas and plan budgets.

I got interested in Zs when my dad showed me some pics of a red 72 he bought brand new. I looked at getting a 73 240z once which had a 280z engine, but it just didn't seem to run right, so I passed. That was about 3 years ago. I hope to get a 240 in good condition and make a sleeper out of it.

Hi Shiin, hope this helps you out with the parts your looking for I found this site by accident myself while looking for parts for my 73 240z The name of the site is showcars and they carry everything you need for that z. just send them an email requesting a price list for the year car your and they will send an entire list of all the parts they carry. http://www.showcars-bodyparts.com/240z.html

Hope this helps. Sincerly Dan Daly

Shiin,

You might want to try a company in Kansas, it's called Victoria British LTD. www.victoriabritish.com Parts that they sell for the Z cars are really affordable especially the rubber seal kit:

Cowl to hood seal

Windshield seal

Door sash weatherstrip (lh/rh)

Quarter window frame/body seal (lh/rh)

Quarter window glass/frame seal (lh/rh)

Sill edge seal (lh/rh)

Door weatherstrip repro (lh/rh)

Rear hatch seal inner

Rear hatch seal upper outer

rear hatch window seal

rear hatch seal lower outer (lh/rh)

Weatherstrip adheasive

for only $189.95 I think that's a good price compared to other Z stores...the catalog is also free.

Thanks,

Cel

Thanks for the help guys. I've have the motorsports.com catalog and I'm ordering the Victoria British LTD this weekend.

These guys are great to deal with - they know their stuff and are very friendly. If you belong to a Z car club they offer a discount.

granted they still do have a lot fo parts for the Z and available. and i do like there service. but if you think your getting a 25% discount think again.

when i ordered form them some time ago for a clutch. i didnt think about the price. they have me logged in there and i just sent the money off.

well i look at the reciept and think something is funny. go to the web site and the prices are totaly different.

never saw where a discount was removed either.

when i called they said that there site hasnt been updated in a while and the prices reflected were wrong. then i asked about my discount, same answere except now it was only 10%

im not bashing them but they should do something for us guys since were suppling them with out hard earned cash to keep that store up

just my .02
