SER240Z

What's up guys, I'm in Tempe for a work conference, and I'm bored. Anybody got any Z happenings in the area? I'll take anything, even someone that just wants to show off their car to someone who'll appreciate it. Scott

Who did the work for you? I could use a good guy near home to work on my five speed. Thanks Scott

I love the way it looks, reminds me of the JGTC Z's I saw when they were here. Congrats on the upcoming addition Mark. Scott

Thanks for all the info guys, (especially you Bigoak). This car is my commuter, I recently picked it up for 300 bucks. I'm not sure if I want to put any money into, or turn it into a learning project. I might even just get rid of it as I am running out of room for Datsuns right now. Thanks again, if I decide to tear into it for the experience, I'll let you guys know. I'll probably have a bunch more questions if I decide to go this route. Scott

I have a 80 zx, the five speed was/is making a kind of grinding/metal to metal noise when you get on or let off the gas in all gears. Just yesteday it started having this awful vibration in all gears above 1500rpms. All noises and vibrations go away when in neutral or if I have the clutch in. Any suggestions as to what the problem is? I assume it's time for a new tranny, but wanted to make sure. Anybody have any ideas for a good shop, or parts source? Never torn one down, any help with rebuild tips would also be good. Thanks, Scott

I got one too. Installed by the tank, inline filter before and after, and a regulator under the hood, filter inline before the carbs. Scott

I might be wrong, since I don't have a 2+2, but I thought there was some kind of panel that went under the glass when it was on so that you don't bake. I have two Z's also. My 240 is a work in project and I just picked up a 280zx for cheap, that is now my daily driver. Scott

30 here, spent my whole life in Southern Cal. Scott

Nice Z Jen. Looks great. I grew up in a Z also, which is why I had to buy one once I was old enough. Scott

Did anyone else see this? I kinda think it's a steal if it's really an anniversary model. Would pick it up if I didn't just get a ZX already. Would like to see a Z lover pick it up and restore it though. http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/car/290910464.html Scott

I just got an S130 for a great price, but it was missing the fuse box cover and has a couple of blown fuses and a short somewhere. I know this isn't the right site, but I figured someone here has an S130 also. Can somebody please post or send me a picture of a legible fuse box cover so that I can start to track down my problem. Thanks in advance. Scott By the way, it's a 1980. Thanks again.

I grew up in my father's 240 and always loved the way it sounded, smelled, looked, everything. Just had to get my own. Since he wouldn't give his up, I went out and got my own. Scott

In case you haven't found yours yet, try this, they might still have them. http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lgb/pts/204934270.html Scott

I don't know that Carbon Fiber can be generalized into the rice category. MSA sells Carbon Fiber hoods and fender flares for our cars that I think look pretty good and don't seem to "rice" out the car. I would agree on almost all of the rest of the statements though. The one that kills me is the GTR emblem on everything except an actual GTR. And the big "R" stickers that I guess make them look cool cause it stands for racing. Scott

2002 Nissn Sentra SE-R Spec-V is my daily. The '72 240z and '69 2000 Roadster are for nice weekends. The Z makes an occasional appearance at work, but only if it's not too hot out. The Roadster collects dust in the garage until a nice sunny weekend comes along. Scott

Congrats Alan, awesome car. Scott

I need some help from the gurus on this site. I am in the market for an OBD II scanner. I've also been looking at the PC software equivalants. I was just wondering which one if any, some of you guys use. Sorry it's off topic, but I figure this board has some of the most knowledgable car minds that I have access to. Thanks in advance Scott

Thanks guys for the info, sorry for the late response, I was working on the house. I've never charged a system before. I am looking to charge a '87 BMW 325es. I don't know if there are any leaks in the system or not, how do I check? I just know that the a/c does not blow cold air. Isn't there some kind of oil that I'm suppose to put into the system also? Is there anything I can just put in in case there are any leaks? If so where can I purchase it? Thanks in advance, any other pertinant information that you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Scott

I was just curious, how much is a 14oz can of Cold Shot R12 worth right now? I seem to have found some in my garage. Does it get old or go bad? If not I could probably use some tips on recharging an old system also. Thanks Scott

I second that, most of my front end is urethane. It is very stiff and I feel everything in the wheel. Can't imagine what it would be like if it were a daily driver, but weekends are a lot of fun. Scott

If you do a search on that, I think there was a cheaper way that involved using a bracket from a Maxima. There was a write up somewhere that listed all the parts needed with Nissan part numbers. scott

EricB, I would also like a copy of that when you get it figured out. I think I may be able to do the conversion also, but I would probably go for someone that is sure they could do it first. Just a suggestion though, maybe after you get one or two copies that are region 1 or region free, maybe you could send those out to interested parties to copy on their own, rather than someone having to make copies to send to others. Scott

240 - "pumpkin" cuz the color Roadster - "GAC" because of the license number I got from DMV, even though I got personalized plates, it stuck. SE-R - Didn't get a name. I'm sure one will come up soon. Scott

Nice CF hood and intercooler. I really like the orange with a black/CF hood. Scott
