Arizona240z

Desert Z is a decent local club however from MY experience it is full of 350Z owners who have more money than knowledge of the Z. There are a few really good and helpful members but most of what I saw when I was around them were a bunch of guys who had the new 350Z and didn't know much of anything about the Original Z. JUST MY OPINION

I've been looking at that since my 26 gallon husky was stolen out of my garage a couple of weeks ago by some border jumpers.... I don't need all the tools but the price is pretty good.

Shutup Steve.... just because you are the king at finding the smoking deals doesn't mean you have to rub it in. As for me... I'd rather pay slightly more for my Z stuff because I don't live in that evil vast wasteland of a state :devious: Besides, once you exit California, the overall cost of living drops drastically :laugh:

Don't take this as me being rude or being an A$$ but if you want to sell stuff you need to know how to do it. I think anyone posting should be required to read the sticky post regarding hints about selling. I for one have been known to see an ad and buy something not because I need it at the time but because I either will need it or fell the price is to good to pass up. The best way to sell what you have is to list what it is and how much you want. If you have too much to list, start with a partial list and then add to it as you sell stuff. Always list an asking price. If you are willing to move on the price "OBO" tells the possible buyer that. Tell them if shipping is included or not and if you have paypal or how you would like to be paid. I would have much rather sent you an email saying, I'll take the radiator, 4 springs, steering wheel, etc tell me how much the shipping is so I can pay you than this post. I'm tempted to make an offer of $5.00 for everything you have including shipping to Arizona. Those are the offers you are asking for when you don't name a price. Many members have quickly moved a large amount of stuff on here by doing it the right way.

Just a warning that looks like somebody has hacked ebay and found people who buy and sell Z stuff. I got an email from the guy asking info about something I was supposedly selling... He was asking about: 280ZX / L28 ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT / ECU His email is bsamuel2@ozark.coop (though that could change on a virus). Here is more info on the email: Question for seller -- Item #2442531575 (subject heading) Can you please provide the part number? Thanks Blaine -------------------- Question from: samuel20024 Title of item: 280ZX / L28 ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT / ECU Seller: mark (text) Chart.xls.scr (44 KB) ugly attachment that is probably a virus. Be careful out there

Get him that carpet.... that hatch area looks naked!

I'm moving to Indiana just so I can use Lance's garage! I have 4 plates not including the garage opener plate. I hadn't planned on adding any because we were going to sell the house and move but it looks as though the better half might have a new job lined up so we are in it for a while..... time to go to the electrical department at HD

I KNOW you are trying to start something when you start talking smack about hacking a 240..... Do it to a 260. Many more comments like that and we might be able to arange a stay at a nice little hotel with padded walls. :stupid:

It's not a sign of a mid-life crisis. It's a sign of realizing you can drive a car with the top down and not have to worry about your hair getting messed up! If you can swing it, I say go for it! I've never owned a roadster but I've driven a few here and there and would love to have one to run around town in.

Firt the rules... I don't work for Autozone and I'm not trying to promote them for any reason other than to let you guys know this.... Now the story.... The hangers on the muffler finally rotted ot so it was time to replace the muffler (muffler ony, none of the pipes). I hit 2 other stores up for a muffler (Autozone and Checker) that wasn't a glass pack or a Cherry Bomb. I just wanted a cheap muffler that would fit the baby and stop the exhaust fumes from killing what few brain cells I have left. I decided to try a second Autozone (the guy at the first one was a jack arse) and lo and behold the kid comes to the counter with the perfect fit muffler..... I take a deep breath and ask how much.... I figure there is no way I'll get what I want at the cheap price I want..... I was wrong. I spent more on the hangers and junk than I did on the muffler. $15 for the "Defender" muffler. Receipt part number 016679. Stamped on the muffler: M1560 and 159201 H. It's got a nice smooth sound to it so those of you looking for the OEM style and not wanting to sound like a ricer go get it!

Come on... did I read the posts too fast or did all of you forget about Dirty Harry in The Deadpool and the remote control car????

Steely Dan....... Come on admit it, everybody likes Steely Dan, I'm just brave enough to admit it. It doesn't exactly make you want to drive the Z the way it was meant to be driven but the it's still great!

Big fan! His Z may have a better paint job than his Daddy's but at least his Daddy's Z runs on the road The link will only be active until 03/06/04

I've been watching this saga from just about every view available and I've got to add my 2 cents in.... I probably would have done close to the same thing as David did if I were buying a car from a person who makes his living sell Z or Datsun stuff. I might have asked more questions (I don't know what he did ask). Most Datsun people are good, honest trust worthy people. I've seen some of the stuff TIR sells on eBay and have spent some time on his site. Personally, I think he is one of the ones that has high prices. That's just my opinon. I will also say, that as a Z owner that will begin "refreshing" 1 possibly 2 (my current one is up for sale, sort of) 240Z's this year, TIR will get none of my money. Not because The engine wasn't original but because it was misrepresented and TIR made no effort (he came close to accusing David of lieing at one point) to correct the situation. I just hope that Chloe or one of the other vendors with a good reputation in our comminuty can get me what I need! One daily driver that needs some TLC (if I don't sell) and one 71 series 1 that hasn't been on the road since 1991. I think I'll stay busy once I get started.

The mechanical pump should work fine... And they are easy to change if it does go out! When you say it reeks of gas, do you mean actual gas smells or exhaust? If it's the exhaust smell, there are several ways it could be seeping in (these cars are famous for this). Try getting an extension tip on the exhaust pipe to bring it out just past the bumper for starters. I'm in Chandler right next to Mesa send me a pm sometime, I'd like to meet and check out the car.... Not to see what might be wrong with it, I'm not a mechanic!

2forty... congrats on the find. Send me a pm when you get a chance, I'm in Chandler and have an extra set of carbs if you are interested. Post some pics!

While the subject is brought up you can check your compure for a virus by going to trend micro free virus checker Just because your computer is running fine doesn't mean you don't have a virus on it. Most of them run in a hidden mode and are looking to more than mess up your computer anymore. They are looking for passwords and credit card info and they get this by recording every keystroke you make. I sell this stuff for a living..... you don't need to get this products but get an anti-virus program now if you don't have one. Stick with Trend Micro, Symantec or McAfee. These three are the big three and have the fastest response times to new viruses as they come out. If you ever get an email such a the one from Paypal asking for credit card info DO NOT use the links in the email. They are for spoofed pages. If you are curious about whatever the claim is in the email, open a new window and go to that website, login and check to see if they do need info. 99.9% of the time they won't. Ok, that's enough of my rant...

2forty. where did you see the white one? I'm in no shape to try and get another Z but it'd be cool to check it out. I'm down the street in Chandler.

I think we should create a forum section for other Datsun's. By doing so the posts will be organized in an area that when someone wants to look for something Datsun related but not Z specific, it will be easier to find. I think it could be great way to include all the other cars without things getting out of control in the future. I don't think poll was meant to seperate the other Datsuns out but more as an attempt to organize things..... That's my thought at least. I enjoy reading the posts and checking out the other cars and wouldn't want them gone from the website. Just don't go making a forum for that ugly 350Z...... That's my opinion :classic:

Propose...... ha! I never said I wanted to propose......... that wood mean sticking around long enough to meet Naomi and Wynona..... both of which I could do without......... but dayum, my whiskey drinking redneck --- would love to..... well you know. Ashley is the one woman my wife would forgive me for....... and she only says she'll forgive me because she knows it won't happen. But a man has to have his dreams! Beisdes, It's Thursday and it was the first good day at work so I'm letting the whiskey do the talking.... you know how I get.

***** disclaimer***** I don't know this guy. I've seen him a little bit on the big email list and I think occasionally on here.... He could be a great guy but I don't like him. He beat me on a car last year off ebay by literally 2 seconds!!!! I had seen the car and new the reserve (1650 with a buy it now option of 1750)and kept sitting on the fence about getting it... smoking deal especially since it seemed pretty tight mechanically and body wise (a big dip in the roof from someone using it as a shelf in the garage had me on the fence). Anyway, I decided that I would ride the auction out and buy it if it got close to the reserve (I figured I could by it after the auction if it didn't go). It got to 5 seconds before the auction ended and bam he hit $1625 and bam I hit by it now and bam I wasn't signed in!!!!!!!! By the time I got signed in the auction had ended and he hit 1650........ grrrrrrrrrrrr as I said he is probably a great guy but I don't like him just like I don't like Ashley Judd's husband I know, I know, I can't blame him, it was my own damn fault but I am not accepting responsibility. :stupid:

Doh! It was on the first time I set the Tivo so I have it recorded. I posted my hate message when I saw the first remarks about it not being on. Now I feel like a boob (hmmm maybe I feel like having a boob that is). On another note Carl, your life will change once you get the Tivo... You won't have time to do any of the household chores, going out for the night wont be fun because all you'll think about is the shows you have recorded. I have the first generation one so I don't have all the tricks that the new ones do but man I'd be lost without it.

Ok, so how much did it cost to make that? Are there instructions on the net to build one? Do you wanna make me one? Can I come visit on my vacation and play all the games I used to play when I was a kid? Come on....I want answers! That would be awesome to have!:cheeky:

it is on now

It's supposed to be on again right now... 8:30 pst.. The show that is on seems to be about boat races, rare cars and an antique museum. I've got the volume up so if I hear Z I can check it out and I've got the Tivo going just in case. Damn new channels! They are probably working out the glitches in the listings still. At least I think it is a new channel, I never knew about it until someone started talking about this show. I say we all send them an email to complain and see when they will air it again. If the channel is new enough and enough of us email in we can get them to run it again. Complain about not airing the Z show
