I live in ct and ran across a yard im mass with 1000+ old cars rotting away every thing from 57 chevy's and nomads and 70/71 chevelles to dodge darts mustangs buick skylarks and even older stuff from the 30 and 40s. Point being there were 3 z's one was a later 74 260z, a 240z not sure what year i think 72/3 and i believe a 280z not 100% sure tho. The bumpers for the 240z were pulled off but inside the car, they were in great shape because of this! I ended up buying the bumpers, a dash cover, and center console with an armrest for 300. if anyone wants the location i can find out.

I have my 67 chevelle parked in a house we rented out and it got the fenders doors and quarters kicked in by the nice tenants. Anyways the z looks pretty good for a start, good luck with the contest. Also i have 2 240z parts cars so if ur in need of any parts let me know.

well luckily i was able to put together a set of carbs. i did it with out a rebuild kit so there not 100% but after the swap she runs 90% better. it kind of strange after all the work put into the motor they didnt put a header on it.

Today at 9 in the morning i got my 4th z car. its just basically a parts car but still. anyways heres my question of the day, the previous owner rebuilt the motor, .030 over bore, stock compression, phase 1 cam, new timing chain, ported and polished head and intake, new oil pump, flushed radiator, and malery dual point dizzy. he says it cuts out mid range rpm, pops thru the carbs, fouls plugs, and lacks power. also says he has changed the jets, advanced curve in dizzy, checked cam timing with degree wheel and the motor still runs poorly. This is on a 73 240z with a e88 head. and it is running 32-36 dgv weber carbs. i heard these carbs weren't the best. On my 260z i had trouble with it running, but i had su carbs that were way out of tune. and once i repaired them it was a world of difference So anybody have any suggestions?

I got my z almost 6 months ago since then i have made afew changes. heres a bunch of pics of what i have done so far. i will add when i do more to it. this is when i first got the car. i got it from boston mass, it came from texas so has no rust. when i got it it had carb problems and would not go past 70 on flat high way and would not go past 30 up hills. I fixed all the dry rotted hoses first, then added the body parts and it needed new struts badly so i ended up lowering it in the process. at the same time i replaced the break booster and master cylinder. i also fitted a 240z grille in. i changed out some interior parts from a parts car. then i traded some parts for a header. once i had a spot in the garage i pulled of the header and carbs. rebuilt cleaned and painted everything. also i ported the intake a very little bit. after that it ran perfect. when i pulled the old header off a few of the studs were broken off and about half the bolts were loose. and the gasket had silicone on it! but long story short i was able to fix it all. the most current pics are the ones with the slotted mags. i got those off a 240z parts car i got, i was just waiting on my lugs. im 16 and this is the car i have spent the most time on. i've done all the work by myself. i love driving it, especially to school kids always ask me what kinda car it is and give me complements. thanks for looking!

Just got my car running nominal but i noticed my heater core is bad. i already got a new one, but was wondering what it takes to replace it. like do i have to pull the dash? any info would be a big help thanks for reading.

I have a set of old mesh style volkracing wheels. they are 3 peice wheels that bolt together. I want to take them apart to clean them but want to make sure that they will still be able to be balanced when i re-assemble them. What i panned on doing was just taking out the mesh center and leaving the two wheel hoop halfs together and mark the mesh part so when i removed it i would put it back in the same location that it was when i took it out. http://s1002.photobucket.com/albums/af141/searsscreamer/?action=view&current=IMAG1181.jpg
