Go with a 6 to 1 header. Motorsport sells a decent one. Don't, I repeat, DON'T buy an exhaust piping kit. Buy, the header and take the car down to your local custom exhaust shop. They'll install new pipe that is much better quality. Go with a 2.25" or 2.5" exhaust.

How many of you have a story to tell about a situation involving a police officer? I mean, there are times in my youth when I decided to either hide or run from the law. I'll post my story, but, I also want to hear yours. This thread is a result of quite a few stories told on the mailing list. However, none of them have been shown on the website. I think it's great and of course the club does not promote this kind of activity what-so-ever. So, let's hear 'em!!

Nice one Ben!! What sort of front air dam is that?

Excellent, thanks for the info. I have a few leads on these. I'll see what happens in the next week. Don't these things just snap into place? I think I bent my old ones when I took them off, so, those are shot. [m]

Kmack/2manyZs, are they new sets ? Or, at least in good condition so I can use them on my restoration project? I'm interested if you are willing to sell. There's got to be a way to ship them safely. Maybe tape them to a piece of wood and put that in a box? Let me know what you think. -- Mike

Crap.

Where do I buy the crome drip rails for my '71 240z ? Are they still available from the part houses?

Where can I get one of these? Alan, you aren't still in Japan are you ?

I was reading something on that site sent by Phred ( http://lighting.mbz.org/ ) and they mentioned that some bulbs should not be used in a housing designed for a Halogen bulb. There are two kinds of lights: filament and arc They mention that your lights can actually become worse (more diffusion) if you don't set it up correctly. Ie: Use a light bulb designed for the housing your installing it to.

There's another thread about Hella's here: http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&goto=newpost&threadid=4753

Good site Phred!

Excellent! Thanks... I can't believe there are no more new harnesses left. This might be an excellent market for someone to take.

I need a harness as well!!

Hot damn... yea, that's a nice ride.

Hi all, I'm running into a roadblock finding new wiring harnesses for my '71 240z. I guess Nissan doesn't make them anymore. I don't really want to go with a generic 'kit' because I want the easiest possible solution. Does anyone have the following wiring harnesses available? Engine Interior (rear)

Sounds like you definitely need a new shell. I wouldn't even be able to think about taking on a job like that. If you have the right tools and the ability, then it might be ok.

Ah, you noticed that.. I have the tray, but, it's out of the car. I had it powder-coated and I want to drill some holes and bolt it in place. This is to allow easy removal for cleaning under the tray. I sure wish Nissan would have thought of this when they designed the car. The battery-tray area is known 'bad' area on Z's.

Good topic... I've been working on my project ever since I took the fenders off in 1996. This is where she is today (well, back in 2000 I stopped working on her). http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=3048&ppuser=4&thumb=1 So, that makes it almost 8 years. Holy crap, I never really counted.....

No worries !! You're not the first one to do it..

Lee, I moved this thread from the main NEWS area to the proper forum. Please post information like this in the forum of choice instead of our main page news. That forum is reserved for news about the site or large events.

Holy crap! Is that 1 SU per cylinder that I see? Looks like only two float bowls to feed fuel to the whole lot. I wonder if that works ok. What a total balance nightmare!

Hey, how much do you want for that set of Toyota 4-piston calipers?

Listen, if we were all afraid of the possibility of something bad happening to us... we'd probably never leave the house. Then again, most accidents happen to us either while we are at home or within 10 miles of our home. So, think about that. Be extra careful with your baby and you'll be just fine. I'm sure I'll be in the same boat when I get my $10,000+ Zcar project finished. But, I will definitely want to drive her. I think you might have a slight case of seasonal depression? The snow over there prevents you from driving the car... so, it's probably better to get rid of the temptation. But, heck man... when that snow melts and the sun is out, you'll be even more depressed when you can't drive that Z around! Believe me, I've been there. This car of mine has been under construction for more than 5 years. I really want to drive a Z again!!! Keep it!!!

No, I've never been to the Salem meetings. Do you have info about their next meeting?

Did they at least pay for the damage to your car? I would press charges against the company that was purely negligent in this case.
