My 76 Z
I like the look you have there. I'm planning on doing something similar to my '77. Xenon #3125 air dam with a thin bumper. Pulled off the front bumper last Wednesday, snow day with pay! Welcome to the Forum.

NOS Blue air cleaner housing!
At worst it looks original to 1972. I like it.

Window crank handle - what is the trick to get it to stay on the regulator?
siteunseen may have inadvertently steered the discussion off-track with Post #2. The question is how get the handle on, not off.

Fairlady ZL Help!
'71 through '75 Cedric 230 had that motor. Nissan Cedric - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Or so says wikipedia, so who knows. I got snowed out of work today so I'm bored, sorry, but I've been reading on ratsun.net and from what little I read they're saying that motor in cars has a 200mm where the trucks have the 225mm. Search around their site, you might find something useful.

Someone on here said to use a thin rag between the handle and the door panel to remove the pin. Maybe you could use a handkerchief or bandanna and pull it down? Mark Maras was the member that offered that trick.

Springs Stock Or Aftermarket?
I went and looked at mine, 355,000 something serial number, the strut housing? is a dark blue under all the grime. And the funny thing is, my front passenger side spring has about 3 coils that are red the rest is either black or dark blue too. If you'll tell me where to look I'll be glad to or take some pictures.

Z Car at Gas Monkey Garage
That's a water damaged car in my opinion. Too much interior rust and the whole bottom's got surface rust. Maybe it's been in a flood or something? And that VIN # 005,894 can't be right, maybe a typo? but my '72 is in the 95,000s.

car sounds like an unbalanced washing machine
If it rolls in PARK I would think it's adjusted the wrong way, no offense to your mechanic. I take that back! and you should too.

Got hit Friday night
Actually a fellow member on this forum found one on craigslist.com for me. But after the accident I've been thinking about going another route, especially after seeing this picture. Not sure what it'll cost in the end but I've found an MSA 240z front bumper on craigslist and some spoilers, just not the Xenon one that I really want. If I can get a good deal on the pieces it'll be around $500 for the look I want, about the same as an OE bumper. Not safe at all but it looks good! Oh yeah, there's 4 at an old junkyard just outside the city limits I've been robbing parts off of for awhile. When the weather permits I'm going to get the 1 rubber boot that got torn off in the accident and put it on, just to balance out the look of my bumper. It's all that got damaged. Thank you for your reply and hopefully you'll find one of your own soon.

Runs rich and high idle after restart
The AAR is sticking which is causing the fast idle, so I'll clean it out some how, I checked today when it was "fast" idling after warmed up by clamping the hose on either side and it almost died out, so the AAR is not closing properly. I tapped on it with wrench and the idle dropped after each tap so its sticky. Thanks for the help. Mike You're welcome. Please try this $5 fix 1st, http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/tempsensorpot/index.html

After that bump I'm liking those ugly bumpers even more but finding a replacement is going to be tough, and pricey. I need those end pieces too. I'm looking at different options now and in no hurry.

White seats, need covers
MSA has a universal cover,'70 -'78 that looks like a laundry bag pulled over the seats. I am hoping to find some that are tight fitting neoprene. E-bay I guess, thanks though.

White seats, need covers
Could someone recommend a tight fitting seat cover they have and like. I've got white interior and want it to stay as white as I can. Thanks for any replies.
