Yellow... Ferarri yellow.

The fact that he chose a Z as a starting point is proof that this car has the respect of the drag-racing community. I just like that this car is such a versitile platform for just about anything. But, it *IS* ugly. :cheeky:

There was a little 'blurb' on the 2nd window it opened. We sold a few just from that. So, that paid for a month worth of hosting fees. Not a bad trade, eh? Crash Carl's computer and get a month worth of hosting? Sounds too good to be true. (just playin with ya)

Okay, I decided that thing was a gimmick. I replaced it with an ad blurb for our CD instead. Much more professional. :tapemouth

So, looks like they also do colors. Go for hot pink man...

I guess it doesn't work right for everybody. Because I don't have any problems with it. I do have to admit that it can be deceptive for people who don't know how to use computers. Yea, the idea came from the old video games where you could select a button and it would pop up a spreadsheet or similar business application. This way, if the "boss" walks by... (could be at work or at home) it looks like you're doing something productive. Must be one of those nerd things I always get hounded about from my family. :cheeky: [m] PS: No need for the huge warnings because it doesn't do anything to your computer (listening Carl?). All of the code is local and it doesn't hurt a thing. We have already sold a few CD's just from the little gimmick anyway.

Whoa!! Wait a minute. They said send it with all the guages still in tact? Wiring harness, too? That's a DEAL!! Sounds like they will take out all the inside components, refresh the dash, and put it all back together again? Hell, that's even better.

I'm not in a huge hurry either. But, I do know that this is a VERY ideal solution for people that need to have something done about the dash-cracks. Me? I found a brand new dash from Nissan. Cost me $750. It was a left-over dash from that 240z restoration project Nissan put on a few years ago.

Yea, I'd like to know what you think as well.... thanks!

Anyone have an MP3 player for their car yet? I haven't done this, but, it's a good idea. I'll get one soon. A lot of the newer car decks now have MP3 support playing from a CDROM that you create at home.

Contact MSA to see if they have a gear for you. If that doesn't work, you'll have to find a gear for your TH-350 for use on the 240z. It's a gear that fits into the tranny somewhere. I'm not familiar with that swap, sorry. Post a message over on the HybridZ site. Someone there might have an answer for you.

I'm sitting here listening to Led Zepplin and man... this stuff sure does rock. It's been awhile since I've gone through my MP3 collection -- currently 10GB. Just love the song, "You shook me".... Makes me want to get out on the road and cruise in the sunshine! Anyone else have favorite driving music?

One our local Z guys contacted them and asked for a sample of the dash material. I saw the samples and it appears that the material is much softer and will not crack with age (this is guaranteed). I wasn't able to compare the material to my original dash in order to see if the pattern was the same. I'll ask Scott to jump in on this discussion. -- Mike

Nonetheless, I'd still get a quote. Most quotes are only good for a certain period of time (usually 15-30 days). If I was them... I'd always quote AU dollars to make sure they are always making the same amount of money no matter what the exchange rate is like.

Ya, it wasn't a bad deal. Here's the original thread: http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1330 And, make sure you get another quote because the exchange rate moves up and down all the time. Last week it was at .60 to our 1.00.

Wow, you have an early 240z becuase I don't see any storage compartments behind the seats. Nice find.

I was given a set of metal headlight buckets (sugar scoops) and it appears that the right one is in bad shape. Does anyone have a (metal) right headlight scoop available? I'm trying to finish the front of my car... Also needed: Lower front valance assembly. -- Mike

Cuong, If someone gives you a 2 or 3 star rating... I'll kick them off this site. No, just kidding. But, seriously, everything you do to that car is TOP NOTCH. I saw the stainless exhaust and became that much more envious of you. Although I don't think I'll modify my drive-train as much as you have (sticking with an L-series engine), your car is an inspiration to me. I can only hope that I will get that far and done similar quality work someday.

Yea, I'd like to do something to upgrade the wiring in the car... I have it out... might as well do something. In any case, I have to replace the connector that melted together. I'm thinking about adding an in-line fuse or some kind of screw-down block (similar to those used in car-stereo installations).

Hmm... my car was stock.
