Grubb240Z

I do realize that choices are more limited with 15" wheels. I prefer them because they look a little more period to me. I like to keep some sidewall on the tires. Don't want the ride to get harsher than it is now. But I could be convinced otherwise, probably.

After much looking, I think I want to find a set of Rota RKR wheels in 15". Thinking 8" is the right width for my slightly lowered (see photo) '72 240Z (unmodified fenders). I'd consider 9" if I was sure it wouldn't be too restrictive (rubbing, etc.). Upgrading from the 14" mags that are on it now. Anybody know the best place to buy these? I'm in SoCal if it matters.

I am looking for various 240Z-related logos in vector formats (.eps, .png, etc.) that I can use for printing decals, etc. Does anybody know a place online I can find these? Looking specifically for the classic "Z", "240Z" and others. Thanks!

This looks like the best option for outdoor storage on Motorsport Auto...https://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/classic02q02/50-1008DM

Thanks - did you mean to link to a specif listing? Your link sent me to the generic "car covers" search on Ebay. If you have a model number, that'd be great. Otherwise, I'm sure I can find it on the mfr. website.

I don't need anything fancy. Just looking for one somebody has used and been happy with. Just enough to fit well and keep the sun and rain off it. It's parked outside in So.California. Doesn't need to have a lock on it or anything. I can stop by Motorsport Auto and pick one up if they have an option you guys like. I'm also happy to order online.

My kid lost the gas cap from our '72 240Z and I need to buy a replacement. I want an OEM or OEM-like solution and should probably choose one with a chain (the old one didn't have one). I see the $97 option (needs a chain that costs $25) on Motorsport Auto and if I have to, I'll go that route. But does anybody know a better option? Thanks!

Here y'go, Zs-ondabrain: 1972 w/ build date: 6/72

I will participate w/ photos & build date tonight when my kid gets home from school with it. In the meantime, I guess I have to give up on my turn signal switch and buy a new one. He's been driving around for months w/ no right signal and I don't think I can troubleshoot it. Cops in Irvine don't need a better excuse to pull over a teenager in a loud car! I see listings like this one on Ebay. Restored turn signal switch for $199.99. Is this the going rate? I thought it seemed a bit high for the turn signal side, but I don't have much of a frame of reference. I'm OK if the switch I buy doesn't look good because mine was restored by @Zs-ondabrain and the lever looks great - I can swap them out, no problem. So if $200 is high for that switch, does anybody know of a better source, or have a switch themselves they want to sell?

Yes, Trevor is still loving the car. Took a half day recently to go up in the hills just to take photos of it :) Right now I'm most concerned with some minor electrical issues (turn signal not working and no horn) and WATER issues. I took out several CUPS of water pooled on the floor a couple of weeks ago during our weeks of rain. The car won't stand for that very long. I sold a trailer last week that will allow me to start putting the Z in the garage, and we have started installation on a full kit of weather stripping. So far, installed both door strips. Next, door window "wiper" trim to keep water out of doors, and the rear hatch trim. Day by day... This coming year, Trevor will be heading off to college and won't be taking the Z with him. Then it will finally be out of daily use mode, and I can more easily work on it.

Well, it does bear some resemblance, but I wish ours was closer to this one, condition-wise. It is white on red and has louvers on the back - I'll give you that. Trying to get closer to that one day by day. New wheels and rubber probably coming soon, so that'll help. Cheers

My kid went out and had a little photo shoot with our Z the other day… Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

That's funny. You're right - it wasn't your post. The names were similar enough (he is Pac_Man), that I didn't notice they were different. So thanks to you, too, Pac_Man, wherever you are. The community of Z owners is a good one!

Looks like the issue is pretty much fixed. Once we got the wndow crank off (PO had used a mangled homemade clip), things flowed pretty well. By positioning the window up and down to see what we had access to in various positions, we realized what the problem was. The nylon nut at the end of the rod from the outside handle needed to be adjusted down (loosened) because the handle was running out of travel before the rod was pushed down far enough. In addition, cleaning and re-lubricating the rotating points we could reach, the whole thing is working better than ever. I thought that once we had removed the door panel we'd have better access to things, but the inside of the door stamping itself gets in the way a lot. Not looking forward to the day we need to do serious work on the door mechanisms. Thanks again for your help.
