Hey everyone! I've been searching around Ebay, taking a look at common parts that might be useful for my 240Z sometime in the future (clutch kits, water pumps, etc). I just wanted to hear what kind of parts you guys bought from Ebay, and I was wondering how they're working out for you! Appreciate it guys =) I've been trying to restore the original steering wheel and shift knob...i thought that was gonna be easy...ha :stupid:

Thanks so much guys for all the info! I look forward to doing some searching for some of the answers on the forums =)

Hey everyone, new to the forums and I can't wait to start hearing from you guys! I just picked up an absolute gem a couple weeks back, one of the cars that's always been on my classic car list (I know most of you guys have a list!). It's a 1971 240Z, 4-speed manual, completely original, and 99% rust free! It has new-ish paint that needs to be buffed, a brand new interior, and the mechanicals are in good condition. The previous and only owner put 156,000 miles! Needless to say, I'm stunned by the car My projects so far are to work on restoring the wood trim on the interior (steering wheel and shifter knob), getting the carbs adjusted, and finding out what fluids to use throughout the drivetrain (just changed the oil yesterday with Mobil 1 High Mileage); let me know what fluids you use in your Z's such as the engine oil, the manual transmission oil, diff oil, coolant, and so on! Also I have to figure out how to slow the seeping from the diff (i'm guessing some gasket needs replacing). Oh yea and the whole exhaust system needs replacing, wondering what diameter piping to use that won't make the noises obtrusive but allow better flow than stock. Whew...:stupid: Let me know if you guys know some great shops around the OC and/or some great websites I can find good 240Z parts at competitive pricing. Can't wait to hear from you guys, any information you guys have would be greatly appreciated!
