I second that. Proper torque is preferred.

NO! You can get a used stock hatch for $50-100 depending upon condition, and a fiberglass hood for a bit over $100. So $1000 for a light-weight hatch is really high IMHO. I paid $1500 for my '70 240Z to put this in perspective even more.

I've been patiently and quietly waiting to know how much you want for them for weeks. We had a discission about them on PM.

Hey, you posted your request to my 'parts for sale' thread and I replied but have not heard back from you. Are you still needing this part?

I was wondering this myself the other day when I saw this auction. I still have no idea.

"Women are NOT for Decoration"....certainly not the one holding the sign!!! :tapemouth I'm assuming that she's protesting Hooters....funny thing is that I know plenty of women that like going there...my wife loves their hot wings.

In the US I have seen them sell for as little as $200 on up to $300 for the part...then add shipping to where ever. These are used parts of course. As for junk yards...I was hot on the search last month and they were not available any cheaper. Most junk yards only had complete LD28 engines and would not part them out, they wanted to sell the entire engine. But I did find one that was selling the engine for $200 so I convinced them to pull the crank and sell it to me for the same price leaving them some additional parts they could still sell. These little gems are rather tough to find and when you do locate one they hold a nice high price tag on them.

I took a look at the pix of the part you need. Are you still looking for one and did you really want to drive down here to pick it up? I'm about 1000 miles from Cedar Rapids (my in-laws live there) so I know about the drive... If you are still looking and want to come get it I will go take a look and shoot a couple pix of mine so you can see the if you want it.

Yes, can you please give us more information about your LED conversion? I was thinking of doing this on my dash lights but had not thought about the tail lights or marker/signal lights. I would like some words of wisdom from someone who has been there. I'd be interested in where you got the parts, what was involved, part numbers if you have them still, etc, etc, etc. I do think that a new thread should be started for this though Zs-ondabrain so as not to take this one off topic.

Since it's EFI is the wiring harness and ECU included? How much are you thinking shipping to be?

I didn't have a metric socket large enough (it's larger than a 24mm) so I used a 1 1/16 socket on mine. Hope this helps.

Yes, you're right...you can not remove it with what you have done. I recently pulled the crank pulley from a 240Z with that AC pulley and found that the AC pulley is not only attached to the main crank pulley with those two small bolts but it us also under the crank pulley bolt. So you must remove the crank pulley bolt (get an impact wrench, I had to remove the radiator to get my impact wrench in there) then the AC pulley will just fall off. Then you can replace the crank pulley bolt. See this thread for a discussion on removing the crank pulley bolt. Easier solution, leave the AC pulley alone.

Where are you located?

Impact wrench! This is the only way I have had any luck. However with the engine still in the car I had to pull the radiator to get my impact wrench in there.

I am interested in one for my 240Z but would like to combine the shipping with others that you may have in the works like the tail lights. Can you tell me how progress is coming on any other upgrades like this for the 240Z? I know that you must be extremely busy with this project now...

I was afraid of that. Ironically enough this parts car came from Taft...I'm sure you know where that is since it's only 30 miles or so from you.

The hatch is still available, please take a look at the pix so that you know it's condition. Then shoot me another PM or email and we'll work it out. It will be a bare hatch with no glass even though the pix show the glass still in it.

Ok, so for those of us who do not get that chanel is there anyone willing to recorder this show and send me a video tape?

I have a dash out of my parts car for REAL cheap. It's in sad shape but it's something. Where are you located?

I wasn't sure which forum to put this in... I wanted to find out what Z cars have the gear reduction starters in them?

The local Z wiz has told be before that 750RPMs is the correct idle speed.

Wanna see pix of this done to a 350Z? Check this out!! This car was at the Z car show in Sept. here in Texas. http://www.pape.ws/gallery/2004_Capital_of_Texas_Z_Car_Show?page=1

That's cool guys, I know how easliy this can happen.

911....911....9-1-1.... Someone call the police....my thread has been stolen!!

The shift knob that was in it was not stock and it's disintigrated any how. The fuel tank was sold last year. Sorry guys, wish I could help you out with these parts.
