Thanks so much for the detailed information. This is really helpful. I ordered the ball-shaped Dremel bit that you suggested and waiting for delivery. Thanks Larry

If you had a hairline fracture would you still need to widen the gap? Thanks Larry

Hello Carl Thanks for the input. Really good feedback and information. I'll look at the trunk mounted units as well. I also have a 1995 300ZXTT with working AC, so I might end up doing what you do. In the hot summer months pull out the 300ZX and when the weather is nice I can drive the 240Z. LC

Cool. No pun intended. LC

My car doesn't have an air pump. I thought the compressor would be on the drivers side where the air pump would normally be. LC

Thanks! I'll look into that. Good to know. LC

Thanks Mike I appreciate the info. I'm feeling better about the cost considering all they would have to do. Thanks LC

Thanks for your feedback. If anyone knows any other shop down here in SoCal that you can recommend let me know. Larry

Hello I own a 1972 240Z without air conditioning. The dealer installed AC was pulled out. I've been searching for someone to install one for me. I don’t have the skill, space or tools to complete the task. I have my eye on the Gen II compac from Vintage Air. I currently live in Southern Cal and at some point will be moving to Texas. The quote I received from a shop in Santa Ana, CA called The Air Shop was about $3,200. That would include the Gen II, an electric fan and installation. It’s my understanding that this is very labor intensive. I just want to know if this is considered a reasonable cost or maybe they don’t won’t to work on it and gave me a high quote to get me to go someplace else. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Larry

Did someone pick it up? I don't see it on eBay anymore. Thanks

Thanks for the responses. Much appreciated. May have to consider the stainless steel approach. LC

I would like to re-chrome the rear bumper. The bumper is in good shape. No pitting and its straight. I was quoted a cost of $1,000. They mentioned that it would be 3 layers. Copper, Nickel and Chrome. Is this out of line or is this an acceptable cost for something like this. Thanks Larry

Hello Just checking to see if anyone has used Bumpers Unlimited for any rechroming jobs. They are located in Lynwood, CA. (Southern CA). I need the rear bumper rechromed. I'm trying to find someone local. Thanks Larry

Thanks. I think, I'll order one myself. Larry

Hello RE: Choke Cable Lever Mounting Bracket I was wondering if anyone has installed something like this before on there 240Z and found it helpful vs mounting the lever to the console. I was one of the folks that had to mount the choke lever to the center console. I found this on ebay. Click link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/270919960660?_trksid=p5197.c0.m619 Thanks Larry

Curious as to why the yellow car is getting so much attention. Not sure what makes this car so special. LC

Thanks. You have a great looking car. I hope to have one like yours! LC

Need your opinion. If you wanted a Racing Green colored 240Z, would you wait until you found an original Racing Green colored car or would you purchase any good conditioned car and paint it the color you wanted. Thanks! Larry

Thanks Guys! LC

Hello First let me say, I'm a new owner. I need to jump start my 72' 240Z. Do you connect the red clamp to the positive post and and negative clamp to the negative post on these 240z's or do you just attach the red clamp to the positive post and the black clamp to a solid metal component. The Chilton book says to connect clamps to both posts but I normally do the latter. Just wondering if its different for these cars. Don't want to mess up. LC

Thanks for the update. Pierre worked on my car before his son (Michael) left. He had a few green color cars at the shop when I visited him last. He did a good job on my car. LC

Did this happen to you? Any further details Thanks

There's a guy selling a 240Z Dash for $1,645. What makes this one so special. (Datson 240Z Dash New Old Stock Super Rare) Thats what it says.

Thanks guys, for setting me straight. I will keep what I have. I knew you guys would be the voice of reason. Thanks again!
