Good Morning all. Ended up not doing BaT - they'd only accept it no reserve. I wonder if anyone might offer some recommendations on who I might want to speak with as I try and figure a fair value for the car? Thank you in advance.

Howdy all, The time has come to say goodbye. I'm getting ready to put this up for sale; hopefully at BaT (waiting to see if they accept the reserve). lf this tickles anyone's fancy, please let them know. Cheers Bill

Dang, I'm with Patcon. Need that, but need it in the mid-atlantic

Hello everyone, I have two Series-1 hazard switches, and on both, the rocker inside the hazard switch (photo attached of a good one, from google) appears to have snapped, rendering both switches useless. Not sure how common this is, but they both failed around the same time. Are we at a point in 2016 where someone can 3D print this bad boy? If not, does anyone have spares, or lastly, know anyone who can rebuild these? Cheers and thanks. Bill

http://www.autoportal.iol.pt/carros/Datsun/240Z/164240/ Stumbled on this while doing research last night. More photos in the link. Works out to about 48,000 miles on the car, and an asking price of $37k! But hey - the Euro is in your favor right now. Get it while it's hot.

Thank you all. These were bubble wrapped pretty darn well. I had zero issues with the shipping here to VA.

Good morning. This is the first new header I've ever bought or inspected. I supposed I was expecting better build quality, having seen the ones that are on my current cars. Is this normal? My current problem is an exhaust leak at the flange; this doesn't inspire confidence that I won't have the same issue with this set. Thanks for the $.02. As always, if anyone knows a suitable alternative. The Stahl site says these folks bought their equipment, but they don't answer the phone or return calls: Datsun 240/260/280Z headers will be offered by: ProFab Aurora, OR 503-678-2948

Woo hoo!

Got the tank back. Looks great. Bolted it up today and MAN does it feel great to not worry about your filters clogging. For anyone interested: Looper's Service Center, in Rockville, MD: http://www.loopersc.com/ The owner, Glen, remarked that Mike from Bansai has been taking his tanks there for years.

Hardway - I haven't the foggiest idea. I bought those bumpers off of Craigslist, I think, years ago. Or maybe from a Forum member here. I'd never thought about that before. Mark - That sounds like what I did. I didn't want to cut the car's wiring harness anywhere, so I built a "jumper" harness that connected the '72/'73 radio to the '70's wiring. Worked out well. The antenna up/down work fine, the look is clean, and I can get FM. ...I just can't hear it over the twice pipes when they're wide open

Well overdue update: Still running strong. Had a new friend for a short while: A 1978 Land Rover 88 Santana, fresh off the boat from Spain. The highly-and-professionally modified 1975 280z in the photo is for sale. Jason @ www.JTMmotorworks.com

Quick update: Fuel tank: Dropped the fuel tank and brought it over to Loopers in Rockville, MD to get the Gas Tank Renu process done. Getting rather tired of stopping to clean the in-line fuel filter, although I would have never seen this guy had I not been forced to stop a few months back: Brakes: The issue was, well, a combination of things. I suspect I had the wrong booster and MC. I apologize, I know how frustrating it is to start trying to diagnose an issue and have a forum post come up short. I should have dropped an update back then. Tach: Still no tach. MSD #$%#$&... Anyone in the DC area who knows their way around this sort of thing will be paid well in beer or food for their services. Windows: Still looking for good window regulators. Are these still available through Nissan? My P/N searches come up short. What do the rest of you do when the window regulators are bent and the windows won't roll? Bend them back? Splurge on the $300+ replacements? Fortunately I have a garage...

Never hurts to inject some muffled humor

My luck. Waited too long and now they've up and retired. If anyone has a set of their round-port 1-5/8" headers they managed to order before they stopped and wants to sell, please let me know. Their stock is exhausted. Is MSA the only other suitable option now?

Leon, Chas, thanks much. No grinding. Entirely possible I failed to readjust the slave cylinder (the distance) back from tohe 5spd to the 4spd. Will start looking there. Much appreciated.
