FastWoman- so any luck? I've got a similar issue- only 2nd gear grinds about 50% of the time, sometimes a little bump, sometimes a pretty gnarly few teeth. My clutch catch point is very high- only have to press in a few inches. Literally just got the car though, so haven't done anything yet. Sorry not trying to hijack your thread just hoping you've had some success short of a full rebuild

So I've been on the hunt for my first Z for a few months now, think I've found the winner in San Francisco... but was hoping to have a fellow Z fan could take a look for me- I'll buy you a beer or three Call me at 602.363.4895 Thanks!

great thanks for the info everybody! Still trying to track down a Z to buy, and just seeing if that was going to be an issue... Emissions exempt sounds awesome to me

So I've searched high and low, google has not been my friend. But does anyone know the laws on emissions for 'classic cars' here in Phoenix? There was supposedly a bill pending a few years ago... can't seem to find anything. Any AZ s30 folks here? Thanks in advance.

thanks all- yeah the only 'official' collection I'd seen was this- http://zhome.com/History/colors.html http://zhome.com/History/ZColorGallary/index.html but looks like its still a work in progress... Mike have you had any luck? Are you repainting your Z or just collecting for fun? What color are you thinking?

Did you end up having any luck gotmoxz? I'm looking at an orange 280z, but I thought orange was only offered for 240's? Anybody know? I'm only looking at pictures online, and it looks legit...

Thanks for the feedback so far everybody, really appreciate it. Gary- probably 10k mi/yr. Garaged. Plan to upgrade as I go and as parts need replacing. 240 for sure. I'm sure an airplane is different monster than a classic Z, but I catch the sentiment zedyone i'll definitely keep that in mind. Start with as quality of a canvas as I can yeah? Sounds like I'm on the right track. Thanks again all

I'm new! I've been researching and learning tons, and I'm about to buy my very first Z. Can't wait. My question for you all- how much do you spend (on average per month) maintaining your Z? Obviously everybody is coming from different places with their Z's... some folks have awesome budgets to spend lots to upgrade and fix everything... but not me. I'm looking to spend around 4-5k for a rust-free, mechanically sound 240. Not looking to do crazy mods and upgrades yet- just take really good care of it. I've never owned a classic car, and want to be realistic about how much I need to spend to keep the car running well. It's going to be my daily driver. I know I'm not buying a Civic- just help me be realistic. Thanks in advance!
