Gee

Any Americans out there who've done it??

I think I spoke to that guy. He got the last kit off Lyndsay at z spares... doh! What is his name on this forum? I wouldn't mind finding out how it's holding up..

So apart from all the under bonnet stuff, the only "plumbing in" behind the dash is into the blower motor?

Has anyone here retro-fitted airconditioning to their z? What was your opinion about the way it looked / operated? Can you use most of the parts from a 260 to do it? Any info appreciated..

Alfa GTV vs BMW 2002 Tii vs Ford Capri vs 240z for the car that most epitomised "the 70's"... and yes, Goertz was eluded to as being part of the design team.

ZHeadV8, can you tell us what each car had??

Article Enjoy!

That was great! I wonder what the 260 REALLY had under the bonnet though!

Search for how to tune your car, there's been plenty of posts on this topic.

My red interior trim had those "stamps" on the back and were clearly red on both sides. I would think that the panels with different colours were more than likely sprayed by past owners who preferred another colour, say black to white?? There's been more than enough posts on this website alone asking how to change the interior colour of a particular car.

I'd be interested in the visors. What are the door trims like?

I've seen some gunmetal grey ones, they look sensational. Same with some of those midnight blue colours. The pictures of Moyest's car doesn't give a good indication of the real shade - it's more of a burgundy and has very little orange in it. I know house of kolor have a great red... There was a thread about 6 months ago about paint schemes and someone posted a whole stack of colours. Have a look through the archive (and the gallery) I'm sure people will be happy to tell you their paint colour if you like it!

Now it's out of the car is there any chance you could post the dimensions so we Australians can fabricate our own? The cost of postage for this kind of thing makes it impractical for us to order!!

My reals names' Gareth, but all my friends call me G. When selecting my ID, the system wouldn't let me just use the letter so I had to spell it phonetically. Sorry it's not as exciting as other people's ID's!

Thanks so much guys, I looked through heaps of resources before calling on 'those in the know' and I had an answer within a day! Fabulous!!

Could someone tell me the specifications of the rear tail lamp screws for a 240z (the long ones which hold the tail lamp it to the bodywork)? I seem to have lost mine

I think it really depends on how much the person has offered. If it's fair market value and you love the car then I'd say don't... you'll probably regret it. Then again, if the person is prepared to pay WAY over what it's really worth, then why not? If it's enough to recreate the car and then some, surely you could rebuild it better and iron out the bugs, do an RB swap instead (or whatever takes your fancy). You say you could buy a fastback Mustang. A decent one of those must be $30-40,000 Australian right? G

Walk into an auto elec. Tell them you think your coil is stuffed and that if they'll let you try putting one of their coils in your car and it works, you'll buy the coil off them. You might pay a little more than normal, but you won't waste money if it isn't the coil!!

I guess it depends how much the offer is !! What could / would you buy to replace it?

What's a reasonable price? I think allzparts in Sydney has 2nd hand and new ones...

Check your PM's :knockedou

They look like dealer plates on the back, so you're probably right. A bit tight selling a workshop manual separately though.. (in his history). Still, it's cheap for what appears to be a straight car. It'd look a lot better with mags..
