Like they always say "you get what you pay for"!

Was wondering if these are any good? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Datsun-240z-Left-Right-Door-Weatherstrip-Seals-NOS_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6763QQihZ024QQitemZ370192844664QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVWQQtcZphoto

Steel sounds better. I recently had the car painted and the original has a huge crack in it now. Dont believe it to be the body shops fault just a POS case. Something had to of hit it.

Where can i find a new or GOOD used passenger headlight case for my 1971 Datsun 240z?

Sounds good thanks Carl!

Ok So I swapped a 1979 280zx 5 spd in the 71 240z. How do I get the speedometer to be accurate since the gear ratios are different now?

So tonight was a big car show for all Classic cars. It is held in my hometown of Redding Ca. Most of the cars are big muscle beefy mustyangs, cameros, corvettes etc. But I got to drive me sweet little 240Z car around and I was proud. Got lot of compliments on it too. One guy thought I had a V8 in mine . There was only 1 other Z in the whole car show. Gotta love the Z cars!!

so true! DONT give that a guy a 240!!

Thanks Guys a bunch.....Wheres MSA at? And when is it? My goal is to have it ready for KOOL APRIL NIGHTS here in Redding Ca. Its a huge thing here and a lot of cool cars. Not to many Z's have I seen in the show.

So I am finally getting around to puttin my 240z back together after paint and I am installing the windows. I have a problem though I dont know/remeber where the little roller goes. I am talking about the small piece that has a roller on it. It seems like it hangs somwhere in the door but I dont remember where? Any pictures or comments where it goes or if I have to mount it will be very useful. Keith

All I got to say is you pay for what u get. I spent 6000 on a body work and paint and absolutly love it. It was a PPG paint job. They did all the jams and even the inside of the fenders. Quality workmanship. Took a couple of months too. I would never take a Z to maaco. My advice is fork up the money and do it. You wont regret it.

I bought A fiberglass airdam from Motorsport and the Body Shop that did the paint/body on my 71 240 said it needed some serious prep to get it so the paint wont crack. They said 8 hours of their time to get it perfect because of the little cracks in the gell coat of the fiberglass. I understood what they were saying, but 8 hours seemed ridiculous to me. I took it to a fiberglass specialist and they did it in three hours. If you want it perfect I suggest you find someone who can do it well. Mine turned out perfect but cost me a lot. You can look at my pictures to see it. K

Where do u get mounts for a 4.8? Is there much mods to doing the v8 swap as for the tranny etc?
