Don't be so sure! There are MANY people who would be interested in a car like what you have. Especially if it is rust free as there are not that many rust free cars in the midwest. I'd sell it as is. For a better idea of what you have though, you should post up some pix here and you will get a more accurate feedback. Just out of curiosity how much would you sell the whole thing for?

I'm with most...what the hell happened???

Welcome to Texas. I'm not exactly close, I'm in Austin which is about 3-4 hours south depending on how you drive and traffic. There are many Z around the state! Here are some links to the local clubs: Austin Dallas Houston San Antonio South Texas (I haven't seen much from them ever) The Austin club is hosting a Z car show in two weeks, you should come down for it and meet some of the other Z people you are likely to run into occasionally. Here's a link to the info on it: http://www.capitalzoftexas.com/archives/events/9.18.2004/show2004.php If you do come down for it stop by and say hi to me (I'll be hear my car which is in my avitar and will be entered in the stock class 240Z).

What??? The L28 didn't have an E31 head...ever. That head was only available on the '70 and very early '71 240Z which all have an L24 block.

Hard to tell from the pix but since the hatch is the same color I'd say that it's just painted. On the cars I've seen that did have the vinyl tops it was only the roof and pillars, not the hatch. I have seen another Z or two with a paint job like this (different color though).

IMO the ducted one like 26th-z posted in the first pic is what's going on my car. I just like the style of it, it looks agressive while not looking like "rice".

Mine is an AC Delco from O'Rileys and was $50 or $60.

The Capital Z of Texas club is hosting their annual Z car show on 9/18. Here's a link that should give you all the information you need about the event: http://www.capitalzoftexas.com/archives/events/9.18.2004/show2004.php

I noticed that the FWD holds the road even when it's wet better than a RWD (i.e. the RWD tends to break loose more than the FWD did).

I'm assuming so since he says that one bearing needs replaced.

Anyone got any information about the Cusco LSD for the R180 diff? There's one on eBay and I'm just wondering about them as I've never heard of it. Here's a link to the auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7918914816&fromMakeTrack=true Any help on this would be great!!

Well I just got an email from parts@midwestz.com Unfortunately it was only the "W32.Netsky.P@mm" virus!

It's not worth anything!! You should just give it to me. :devious: Seriously though, very nice looking car.

Post the link you are having trouble with and someone here may be able to help.

For daily driving I like the BFGoodrich Radial TAs but for autocross I have heard that the Falken Azines (sp?).

I'd be interested in seeing these too so I know what and where to look for them.

I have some more Z parts for sale on eBay, please take a look! http://cgi6.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems&userid=djsting1&include=0&since=-1&sort=3&rows=50

These are your two best bets for those parts if you are looking for new parts: Victoria British: http://www.victoriabritish.com/z_zx_cat_page.htm MSA: http://www.motorsportauto.com/

Here's an interesting car on eBay...It was once a Z but who knows what it is now. Pretty nice for what it is though. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=2487766191&category=6187

And just what was it that this list sent to you? I didn't even know that there was such a thing... :stupid:

Yet another strange event in this case of missing Chloe... An auction was posted late last night with her account: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7917048122&category=33645 I sent an note to the seller asking about her and am just waiting on a reply.

Invalid eBay item! I'm interested, how much?

I think in the thread on hybrid he said that his reserve is $6500. I posted saying that I thought that this may be an unreasonable price considering that it's not even running! :surprised We'll see what happens when all the last minute snipping occurs and the auction is over...but I still don't think that the reserve will be met. I also told him that he may want to post it in Autotrader's Collector Trader section as those cars are listed at top dollar, but I seriously doubt that he will since he's chomopin' at the bit to do his car. I just hope that someone out there is willing to buy this for his ransom. I offered an even trade for a straight rust free NM car I recently acquired but no reply as of yet. Hell, mine even runs and drives well!!

My vote is to stick with the L6 that's in the car and just do some work on it. Header, well tuned carbs (keep the SUs), maybe a cam, electronic ignition, etc. This will help keep your costs down and also should keep you in a reasonable class like stock or something close to it depending upon what work you do on the engine.

Tourniqet, I'm curious what you found that diff in? Based upon this thread this diff should be an R200 not an R180 so if you located this ratio in an R180 I'm sure many of us would be interested what it came from (specific year/model car/truck).
