    zguitar seems like I have an identical problem to you with my 73 240z just curious what you did to resolve the problem, I live in Oregon and not being in the rain isn't an option here.

    Hey Graham haven't seen you around for a bit and my car is flooded at the moment. So needing to get that fixed very badly, curious what you decided to go with, heading out to z therapy tomorrow but will give you a call if you don't see this. Also mine seems to be leaking from the lower part of the door coming in from the flat spot on the door nearest the hinge that has a rubber thing there that isn't doing anything really.

    Another Oregonian here I'm 17 and drive a 73 240z that is tough to pay for which school and a part time job. But I love the car so all is well.
  5. Both cars look amazing and I would kill for the interior of the red car. Hmm shouldn't have quit choir so I could be the lead singer of a rock band.
  6. That really sucks the hood and don't mean to thread jack but I have the same air dam and just curious what driving lights you put in it.

    My first thought as well, why cause more damage to the tl, but it's photoshopped, look at the chain the tow guy is holding, what exactly is it attached to? Someone messed up with making the chain look like it's changing depths and didn't spend enough time cutting out the tow guy. Pretty good lighting adjustment but the reflection in the windows in the saturn is off.

    Couldn't avoid the stores unfortunately I work retail and at a Mac Store, so I'm the sales guy cursing having to start a '73 z in the icy morning as well as all the people in my store wanting a deal when our stuff never goes on sale.

    I just bought a '77 280z 5 speed and it has the cog in it, I'm far to lazy to look up what tooth it is but if you know what it is and you want it give me a yell. I need the sleeve though so that's staying.

  11. One of my friends from school who is also on here has a 240 so see him but other than that it's all 280 2+2's that I see and usually in pretty poor condition and the owners don't wave back to evidently not really z fanatics.
  12. I haven't been able to find any blue side stripes but at some point want her repainted a factory color, most likely blue.
  13. Seeing as I can not edit my post, or simply can't figure out how to, I was speaking of Mark Rolston's Z and since the link didn't work heres the link http://www.viczcar.com/Featured-Rides/Mark-Rolston-s-RB26DETT-Powered-240z.html

    Seeing as that car as the exact same aerodynamics as my z more or less, same air dam and hideous lack of front bump i will vouch for it not reaching 200.
  15. I'm planning on ordering some black mirrors tonight, so kind of using this z that I'm sure you all have seen as inspiration. Same mirrors that are on that car will soon be on mine then add a black 240z side stripe
  16. What do you guys think about taking the paint off of the metal window trim, I'm not entirely too sure how it would look, but the paint looks kind of tacky now. The metal seems to be in good condition.
  17. I just had my brakes and steering redone and mostly replaced cost about $600, it was just a nightmare in short most everything was bad. All but one of the pistons in my two calipers was frozen so good to have that done.
  18. Honestly I have no clue about the bumper legality in Oregon. But at the moment I have around 300 to spend on the car. Anyone have some good ideas? Looking to make her a bit more drive-able and economic but performance and cosmetic upgrades are not out of the question.
  19. I was invited on that, but had to work. Have to love paying off the car.
  20. I'm in Salem so I met the guys from z therapy, great bunch of guys. Yeah I'm only 17 so it's a long road ahead.
  21. So I finally got around to posting pictures of my z. Got her maybe 2 months ago. My first car and of course first z, build date 2/73. Learned a lot about the car since buying it. I fell in love with these little cars about a year ago and had to have one. The previous owner did a pretty good just fixing it up. I've had to do some little things to her. But over all it hasn't been so bad. Pretty much mechanically she is stock, not the original engine but it's from another 73 240z. So just thought I would share my car and maybe get some ideas for things to do to her, shes not going to be an original restore so pretty much anything goes, keep in mind she's my daily driver. Also don't think I will ever be able to drive another kind of car again, and I didn't even know how to drive stick when I bought her.

    Nice find and funny that it worked in my car.

    Hello congratulations on the new car I remember that one on ebay. Since it is in the same city as me I emailed the owner to see if I could go see it. He didn't exactly say no but he wouldn't let me go out to see it. Hope everything is alright for you with the car, enjoy it just bought my first z yesterday.

    Well more or less to answer my own question I looked around enough and found the part at courtesy nissan. http://www.courtesyparts.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=CP&Category_Code=s30_nismo_pinion Different cogs at the top and the corresponding sleeves at the bottom of the page.

    I'm interested in this too, the z I am planning on buying in the next few days has pretty bald tires and will need to be replaced before winter.
