Just a note to say thanks to those who have responded to my recent appeal. It is somewhat comforting to know that this issue isn't new and/or unique to my current situation. I will be contacting MSA, accordingly. Thanks, George

As there hasn't been a new post on Koni struts for some time, I'm hoping to get help. As is, I'm attempting to install new Koni struts (model; 23-1031 KONI Struts) on my Series I. The struts were back ordered and arrived in July. Fast forward, the new struts (yellow) are a little too long to fit as they should. I have spoken with 'Dave' at 'Motorsport Auto - The Z Store' the supplier, and he assured me that they sent the correct struts. Anyone else in this situation? Just wondering if the bolt at the bottom of the housing could be safely ground down without creating potential damage. Suggestions are welcomed...Thanks

Steve, Many thanks...appreciated George

Hi, I had a call about the Kia Sportage door seal from a chap rebuilding a Series I. I used one about six years ago, but can't recall much. Please help: What model year(s) of Sportage had this seal? If you have it, what is the KIA part number? Thanks, George

Rims are 14" aftermarket which accommodate 195/70/14 tires

I'd appreciate recommendations on replacing the summer tires on my Series I. It's been ~ ten years with the present 195/70/14 so it's time to change. Thanks, George

Please help! Finally found the correct spring (eBay in Australia) for my Series I Please advise me on how to install a new spring in the driver's door lower hinge. Attached are pictures of this older style lower hinge on the passenger side door. Thanks, George

View Advert Series I Door Spring Hi, Please help me source a spring in Canada or USA like the one in the pictures. Thanks, George Advertiser Dr. 240Z Date 04/21/2022 Price Category Parts Wanted Year 1971 Model 240Z

Thanks....Now we know there's at least one in North America Disappointed in the front end esthetics...Was hoping for a redesign of that ugly rectilinear box of a grill My old girl turns fifty on May 13th. It was love at first sight and still is!

Here's more on the newest Z: https://www.msn.com/en-ca/autos/news/nissan-shows-off-the-retrolicious-z-proto-to-the-public/ar-BB1a1gVt?li=AAggFp0

I agree 100% The Z has to remain a stand alone in the Nissan stable. If there is one positive esthetically, the grill is better proportioned in the concept SUV due to its higher stance. Here's a review: https://www.hagerty.com/media/opinion/z-sus-is-just-alright-with-me/ The 240 had an attractive (although useless) bumper that occluded the view of the lower half of the grill. Here's hoping the 400 grill height can be reduced by a 1/3rd to approximate Ante's law of proportions. In the alternative, divide the grill horizontally with a band of chrome or brushed metal. Cheers, George

Much better....The 'rectangle' grill detracts from the sexy 'curves'.

Lights look great, the grill not so
