I'm just north of "The 6" as Drake calls it, great looking car, I see you have Skilards new splitter and rear diffuser, how do you like them? Have you tried a high speed test yet? The Ont. Zfest is coming up on the 23rd of July, being held in Hamilton this year, everyone would love to see your car, there will be lots of other Zs there. http://ontariozcar.com/?ai1ec_event=z-fest-sunday-car-show&instance_id=650 -
Charles, now you've done it, it's hard to go back to a propane grill once you tasted what hardwood charcoal can do for the flavor, nice unit. Happy July 4th

McDonalds has been using that principle for decades, make something that looks like food but isn't really.

That's mighty nice of you Cliff, and I agree that it certainly isn't polished. Well, I'll need $1200 purchase price, $600 for a tow to my place, then I'll have to find an engine, a milk crate for a seat and some tail lights, so go ahead and deposit $20,000 USD to my Paypal and I will blast it down to ZCON 2018 for you complete with the largest moon roof ever installed . Shipping??! I'm driving this sucker.

Thanks guys.

This is a real ad, not making it up, http://www.kijiji.ca/v-cars-trucks/barrie/1989-datsun-z-series-coupe-2-door/1261454436?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true It is a 240z. Not sure the year. (1969 to 1972) The car has been sitting for a few years. No roof! I do not know the year of the car. The fenders are ok. The doors look ok. No engine. The transmission is there I think. The interior is not there. I do not have the ownership. I do not know too much about the car as I am not a Datsun guy. I can get more pictures if you like but it will take a day or two as the car is at the family farm. In the Elmvale area.

You got a good deal, it's in great shape.

Well finding good working original gauges is not hard, they were very well made and if originality is important you should try to sort yours out, if you want aftermarket you can't do much better than Speedhut. You can customize them for many different looks and functions or go for a period look as well, these are mine a little of both.

Because Photobucket owns them now and they want you to pay to have access to their property.

I can tell you it is pretty awe inspiring to stand next to this car, there isn't a square centimeter anywhere that doesn't have the same kind of detail. Gold Medallion judges better sharpen their pencils if this car ever enters the competition. I'm back at Careless's shop on Monday, I'll poke the camera into some hidden places and see if I can find a flaw.

I have been bouncing around all my favorite forums today and seeing that damn photobucket image everywhere, tens of thousands of threads are virtually useless now, all that great work in the archives... lynch them.

You have to back off the mounting screws to that perfect torque that keeps the screws from vibrating loose but slack enough to allow room for the plastic cap to sink into the door panel enough to snap over the clip. At least if the screw does back out it will be captive within the cap until you start over, I have tried just a little smear of sealant on the threads in the past.

http://www.showcars-bodyparts.com/240z.html It is quite a catalouge and good prices, any reviews?
-
Looks very promising, more photos of its current condition would help a lot, missing the windshield, photos of the floor with carpets pulled back... show the strengths as well as the warts.

Not at all, just post in the modified section.

I was at @Careless's shop today giving him a hand with the windshield and vinyl trim, thought some of you guys might like to see the progress.

Well, that's disappointing! Seafoam was just about the only 'Mechanic in a Can' product I purchased because I thought it was different. Just goes to show how powerful the placebo effect is. Thanks for popping my bliss bubble
-
I usually throw a can of seafoam into the tank once a year and it keeps things pretty clean but if I have an engine that I know is crusted up with carbon I'll either spray it in or let a vacuum hose suck it straight out of the can until it drowns the engine, let it sit over night and start it up again. Stand back cause you will be in for a smoke show, I guess I am assuming that all that smoke is the crap that the seafoam has loosened up overnight but I have no proof other than I have used the stuff to clean carb parts and it does a great job.

Long drive for a 2 day event but it looks like a blast. Any other S30's going?
-
Jay, that looks like a pretty decent car from the pics, lots of owners have cut out replaced the floors themselves, it's not an easy job but it will save you lots of money. There are lots threads in the archives with great pics of how others did there Z's

Yes, but you will want to remove the hood latch so the hood sits flat and you can see the relationship between all of the panels, after you get the hood into a position you like tighten the bolts equally on each side a bit at a time so everything stays the same relative position then re install the hood latch and line it up.
