Does anyone have a 280zx in the greater Sacramento area they would be willing to sell? I'm looking for a daily driver that I can later restore. Thanks! Brian

There are a couple different types of fiber glass, if you use the more expensive kind (woven, it very thin and easy to use like carbon fiber), I don't think it would be that thick at all. And fiber glass (or the epoxy at least) sticks to anything. The whole point would be to integrate it into the dash so that it looks original, a dash cap does not look original and is not permanent. You would essentially be adding a new skin to your dash with no more worry of cracks. Does anyone get I'm talking about?

So I have been reading the posts about the dash repair process that fills the cracks and then is repainted with the sem texture coating. I have been thinking about doing this for awhile, but since I first thought about doing it another crack showed up. So that got me to thinking about something more permanent. What if the current cracks are filled (like outlined in the other post) but than the whole top portion of the dash is covered in one or two layers of fiber glass. After that the top section is finish with the texture coating we've all read about. You wouldn't have to worry about any more cracks right? Shoot me questions, comments and concerns!

Thats funny! I was reading this with my fiancee who owns an 82 280zx 2+2 and we always battle over who's car is cooler.

This car is for sale in san francisco if anyone has $6650 and cares to relive a tragic 80's nightmare in car form. It started at $10,000 but has come down quite a bit(no surprise). This could actually be a robot in disguise, buy with extreme caution. craigslist sf PS sorry if the owner of this car is on this forum.

All this talk about the pt being as great of a car as the 240z is making me a little sick. I think the pt is almost as cool as a yugo, almost.

Hey Mardman, what color is your car?

I recenly purchased an l24 to put into my 72 240z, it has the stock su carbs but the mechanical fuel pump (or where it should be) has been blocked off. I imagine that is so an electric fuel pump could be run insted. My question is what the heck do I do? Do I get one and put it where the mechanical used to be and where and what do I buy? Thanks ps when are we going to play forza 2 on xbox? my live id is xxrejoyxx, look me up !

Has any one seen that lighter before or have any information on the background of it?

Speaking of ebay check out this lighter I found. I thought it was really cool and I have never seen one before. Its a limited edition 240z zippo lighter only sold in Japan. Fairlady lighter

electronic stuff guitar stuff (ebay in general) food

I just added a Flowmaster 40 series muffler to the stock exhaust (haven't dropped the other motor with headers in it yet) and am really happy with the sound and the throttle response. Call me crazy but I swear I feel a difference, as you should I suppose when going from a muffler with literally a 1.25" outlet to a 2.5".

I'm 24, do I qualify?

Yeah, I got one and would definitely be down for some forza action. I don't know if this is too dorky but it would be cool if we made replicas of the cars we actually own.

Fantastic thank you! Now I just need to find out were to buy them.

Speaking of datsuns and helicopters, are there any other helicopter pilots out there?

Does anyone know what the jdm version of the 280zx had for emblems? I've been trying to figure this one out for a while now with no luck. I want to change out the emblems on my girlfriends ZX but can't find japanese emblems or even know if they exist.

Welcome! No better way to free your inner Z than with a 240! Working on it is half the fun, and this place is the best place to come when you have questions, theres a bunch of great people here.

I need to paint my 72 240z soon and I'm really taking a fancy to the new solar orange color on the 350z. Does any one have any idea how to get a hold of that stuff, Thanks Ps If anyone is in the elk grove/Sacramento area and wants to go for a drive up 88 to check out the autumn colors let me know.

I found a lot of information about door seals (weatherstripping) that can be purchased at jcwhitney, but what about the inner and outer hatch seals ( 72 240z). Has anyone found anything that works from jcwhitney? Oh, and the outer rubber window seals (the ones that keep the water from entering the inside of the door itself). Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks

I use ngk, they're a japanese company originally so that kinda adds to the whole nostalgia of the car too. Talkeetna, thats my new favorite place (only because of west rib and their ice axe ale, good stuff!) I'm originally from anchorage. Nice to see Z's alive up there! (the musk ox burger with fat arse sauce is amazing as well!)

What the difference between 74 260z bumpers and 72 240z bumpers on black dragon auto besides the price?

I was wondering if any one knew if my cam is stock or upgraded. On the rear end of the cam it is stamped with SDC2 and f 3 written with a paint pen or something. Cast into the cam between some of the lobe things are C2, E12, and EP40. Does anyone have any clue? Thanks! brian
