I know I am late to the thread ... I just wanted to toss out there that I have 2 zcars I am starting to restore / build. I wanted to keep track of ideas, products, colors I like and might want to use so I started using pinterest. It is like my own web page keeping track of my MANY zcar interests. at any rate here is a link to the ideas I have been kicking around hope you find it interesting as well. http://pinterest.com/flannelman1/datsun-z-cars/

Thanks and only about an Hour away Bonus!

door latch needed 74 260Z 2+2. the driver side door latch I have has broken the spring and will no longer latch. Looking to buy one. Hope some one out there has one they are willing to part with. Thanks.

My son was telling me today as we were building my latest z project that his fav. part of the 260 he grew up in was the hood opening up backwards. Now here we are years later and soon enough he will be rebuilding and driving the car he has enjoyed as a kid for himself.

Thanks guys will be doing it tomorrow. why this way. over the course of 3 weeks I found and got 2 (one red one blue) 74' 260Z 2+2's. one (Blue) has really tired motor. removed it to rebuild later. Stuff the running zx in it just so I can have a toy to drive and tune up. The other (Red) is getting gutted and restored. it (Red) will end up with the ZX upgrades while the second one will be staying a 260z

I just got 2- 74' 260Z 2+2's. one had a wore out l24 with the e31 head. I kept my '80 280zx after getting t-boned by a Suburban. so I am in the process of putting the l28 into the 260z. motor is in, headers on, triple Webers on, electric fuel pump added. here is my first of probably many bumps in the road to figure out. The distributors. I was hoping that eliminating the zx injection and using the Webers I could use the dis. that was in the car and not have to change wires and stuff.... rolled the motor up to TDC compression and placed the dist. in. It does not line up the rotor with the #1 plug. can I drop the oil pump ,rotate it a tooth and get it to line up and be ok to move on to starting it up or do I have to use the xz dist. and change more stuff?
