Ok, I fixed the size problem!! It's now only 1MB.

I will work on it this weekend and get the size down and also see what the deal is with the 'damaged file' error. Sorry guys, I was in a hurry the other night and was not paying much attention to the details of the file size... :stupid:

Here's a link to an article I just got. It's from July 1971 Road & Track magazine and is a comparison of five $3500 GTs including the 240Z. http://www.pape.ws/allan_and_rosanne/Z-Car_Stuff/The%203500%20Dollar%20GT%20Article/The%203500%20Dollar%20GT%20-%20July%201971%20Road%20and%20Track.pdf NOTE: for some reason this came out to be a 19MB file...it's only a 7 page pdf so I am unsure why it's so large.

Must have just been the computer I was using...I got to it from a different computer with no problems.

What's up with the link?

No problem at all, I'm glad I could help.

MSA carries Spicer. They are not all that expensive either considering the quality.

More popular than that blasted orange!? I have seen tons of the orange...I have two (my good car and my rust bucket parts car).

"Are we there yet!?" Sorry, couldn't help the Shrek2 reference...seen it a few times with my nephew.

This was just discussed...try searching for the other thread...there was a lot of info in it.

Damn! I would be there it not for the fact that we are having my daughter's first birthday party that day. Have fun everyone who attends!!

You're looking at a care in SA, where are you located?

YEP! June through September as I recall.

Yes, how about more info...and a link to the website.

I like them and want to put them in my Z some day when I pull the dash to have it redone (cracks and all) but two things that concern me... 1) I have a series I and would have to have the right overlays (i.e. the speedo starting at 20mph) 2) I want them to be durable and not fade, discolor, curl up, peal off etc. once installed

Thank you for setting me straight Will....once again. I had not realized that there was this kind of a difference. I'll have to make sure and properly tag the parts I just pulled from a '75 parts car I'm stripping down so as to not get them confused and so I know that they will not work in a 240Z.

I believe that all the 2 seater Z cars from '70 up to '78 all had the same doors, hoods, hatches, and fenders so these are all interchangeable...be sure you don't get parts from the 2+2 as some of those may be different.

Climb back up under the car and twist the half shaft watching for where the play is located. If it's a U-joint you will see the play in that location and then know that this is what you have to replace. If your u-joints are tight and the play is at either end of the half shaft then repost with your findings and someone here who knows more than I do will be able to assist you further.

DAMN HIM!! No, He told me he was listing them all on eBay and would be letting the auctions run their course. The one I was trying to buy before it was listed on eBay is the one from your previous post, the 1970 VIN #3486. :mad: You can bet he'll be getting another email from me!!!!

What do you need? I just picked up a '75 280Z parts car last night and will be cutting it up very soon.

Left as in driver's side? I just want to be clear as I have a 280Z that I'm going to be cutting up and the driver's side is torn but I believe that the pass. side is in good shape. Also, you can probably just ask Charly at Zedd Findings and he'll sell you just the side you need. I was going to do this for me with the floor pans as I only needed the pass side. Shipping was the same but parts cost was 1/2. All you have to do is ask.

That's a bunch of $^!# if you ask me! I had been in contact with him and wanted to buy one that he had not even listed on eBay yet and I was told that he would not sell them outright, he was going to list them all on eBay and let the auctions run their course. I contacted him asking about this just this morning and am waiting on a reply. I'm not too thrilled at this point with his way of doing business. I see that you are bidding on one lonetreesteve. Good luck.

If the above info holds true then I'd say that the P30 is a 280ZX crank.

Ok...Johnson Family Vacation! Funny movie for anyone who has not seen it. Reminds me of the Lampoon's Vacation series but not quite as dumb.

It's a good drive, I'm in Austin...in central Texas so it takes 8 hours just to get out of the state heading that direction, then cross NM on I-10, and into AZ. It's a bit of a trip.
