texasz

Ok, yes it is zcar.com but on that forum I am austintxz since someone already had "stolen" texasz. My post is in the Wanted forum and is the exact same post I have on this site in the Wanted forum. Since that site is not a true forum like this site users can only send you email so I do not know his username but his email addresses are as follows: xxxxx@xxxxxx.xxx then after I blocked this one he started sending them from his work which is xxxx@xxxx.xxx (emails deleted by admin) I did report him to the HR department of his company and was just looking into reporting him to the zcar.com admins. I think that I may also report him to Mindspring for what it's worth, not likely that will do anything but what the heck. Thank you guys! His deragatory comments have really been eating at me and I'm glad to see that others share my opinion.

If you are a user of zcar.com please beaware that they are no where near as friendly, nice, or helpful as the people on this forum. This guy, Charles R. Cote <crcote@mindspring.com>, has begun harassing me just because I bump my post to the top of the list every few days. As many of you here know I have been searching for a Z for a couple months now and this person has decided that he is tired of me looking. He has begun sending me ugly, derogitory emails explaining that I should just give up and how he owns SOOO many cars that are out of my league, bragging about the fact that he pulls down $300k/year, etc. etc. etc. So first I want to thank everyone here for being so kind, and two I just wanted to warn everyone here about this jerk.

On your insurance question, call for quotes before you buy!! I am dead serious on this one!! I used to work for an insurance company and I can not tell you how many times I got cussed out because someone went out and bought a car then was outraged at the cost of insurance for it. It's their own damn fault for not doing the leg work before buying the vehicle. Please do not be one of those poeple who does not completely research ALL costs associated with the ownership of a certain vehicle (and it looks like you are already doing that by posting your question here). Now as many of the others have pointed out there are some cost of ownership issue between the 204Z and the 240SX. I don't know as much about that so I will leave that to the ones here who do.

I must agree with bambikiller, all I could find was the show on Saturday. I found nothing on Friday relating to Z cars. And I too have a TiVo.

Here is a fantastic deal if you need tons of parts or want to start your own Z parts sales business. This guy is selling everything he has! http://www.zcar.com/classifieds/class_parts/19287

Looks like a great car!! Please tell us more! Is she stock? If no what mods? What is the interior, exterior, running condition like? More...more...more...

I understand, I was kinda thinking that $100 sounded fair before I even posted this.

Music to my ears 2many!! I was hoping for about $100. I hope that is close to what quotes I get from these companies.

This guy's trying to sell his Z based upon a 24 year old picture. He gives no current information nor pix of the car what so ever. He says that it was rust free and freshly primed and painted just before being put into storage 24 years ago. Storage where!? Not to mention that it will not run after being stored for so long and all the rubber will have to be replaced! *shrug* For someone in FL this may turn out to be a great deal if it is completely rust free. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2410517401&category=6187

Has anyone ever shipped an engine? I need to have one shipped from CA, zip 94523, to TX, zip 78613. About how much should this cost? Who should I contact about shipping it? Any information and recomendations would be great!!! I don't even know where to begin...

If you live in Austin or close I would like to know if you have a car trailer that I may use to get a Z. Towing it is no problem, I just don't own a trailer and am trying not to rent one if I can avoid it.

Well it's too late now! Some lucky person took this home for $1050.

Sorry, my mistake! Not VB, Zed Findings. I'm getting my Z parts distributers mixed up.

Does anyone in CA know anything about the car this guy is selling? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6187&item=2409234567&rd=1

...and I'm VERY jealous!!

Are "...2 new IMSA frame rails for 70-78 DatsunZ..." the same ones that VB sells for over $300?

Still must find one... :disappoin: maybe fstr240z will sell his for less now that it's not running. :bandit:

Dude, please post your messages in the proper category! This is for item that you are selling. I didn't say anything before. You tend to get much better responses that way.

Now I know why I can't find a good Z in Texas, you have taken them to PA with you!!

Ok, now I've been hanging out listening to people talk about going from the stock 14" up to 15", 16", 17" and even 18" wheels. What I want to know is how does this change the way the car drives? I have heard that changing the wheel size changes your gear ratio. How? Does this provide greater high end speed or what? Can someone please explain the effects of going to a larger wheel to me?

Their hours are M-F 9am-6pm and Sat 9am-1pm. He said that right now he has about 3 240Z for parts and sometimes he has a good whole car that he would sell. Hope this helps. I think that I'll be making a stop in there next time I'm through the area. :classic:

beandip, That link is VERY dead! I even tried modifying it a bit and still got nothing. Can you please repost a live link? I too am very interested in this swap.

mperdue, Thanx for the link. That write-up makes this seem very simple and is full of good information!

I must say that is a pretty sharp looking Z! From the pic the mods are not all that numerous...flares, rims, tires, and mirrors. It's hard to tell with the shadows but those tires look to be pretty darn big. Just my 2 cents

My vote would have also been that you saw an Opel. Sharp little cars! But I still have to find myself a Z!! That's where my true desire is.
