people in the pittsburgh area
i would have known about them long ago. ive seen a few down here from time to time when near the pitt area, there is supposed to be a club in oakland, but ive contacted the guy and well i guess its either disbanded or he doesnt care. he never returned my call. if you would like to hook up that would be cool, ive met one person from this board, would be great to meet another.

turbo or non-turbo
and either one would be a good canidate to have. you will get more power out of the turbo, but when those turbos go they do cost a small fortune. you can also have very nicely modified na motor but by the same token it wont be as fast as the turbo but still very nice. either way would be a good way to go. the main thing to look for when buying a Z32 is to make sure that proper maintenance has been performed. with these cars if they havent been properly maintained you will find yourself spending literally thousands to get them back to there former selves. good luck with whatever one you choose

Buying a 240z, help me identify some stuff
for one i wouldnt buy it if it has a sunroof but thats just me, the only lsd that will fit without modification is the quaife unit, costing at 900+, or with modification, a 87-89 Z31 turbo rear. i would say that they are su's unless there are three then they could be mikunis, webers, dell ortos? pics would help also

Question for the group

I'm guessing you can trust the seller here ...
im sorry the car doesnt look bad except for all the yellow in the interior, but dont you love how they misuse the words complete restoration. id be satisfied if they would have said restification or completely rebuilt, but to me that car is far from what i would call a restored vehicle. unless all those steel braided lines and body kits came with the car stock and i missed something. as far as troy goes from what i hear hes a pretty good egg. i had only one dealing with him and found that if you dont think the way he does and argue a point or price of something he sells or the way he does something then he becomes almost childish with his attitude and mannerisms.

Toyota 4 piston caliper brake upgrade
the calipers as far as fitting with the stock steel wheels i cannot say. if you remember the 5 slot american racing style aluminum wheels that you see on a lot of Z's, i had those on my 71 and they fit with no problem. if you look at my gallery look for the yellow 71 240Z. they fit with those. dhayes i know you can upgrade to the 15/16's mc from a later Z car but im not sure of if any modifications you would have to do.

Short shifter for T-5
it isnt a true short shifter. all you have really done there is shorten the shifter lever itself and have not shortened the throws. i must admit i have done the sam in the past and it does give it a better feel, but its not actually doing what a short shifter should or is supposed to do

Macco.. or a real paint shop??
hell if you just want some new paint on it and you have an earl shiebs around you, you would be better off going to them. ive seen some horrific paint jobs come out of maaco. for some reason though people still go to them and they are still in business. i cant see how since they are one of the worst place to get any real work done to your car. you would be better off in the long run going and getting a quality paint job. better yet you would be more likely to do a better paint job then them even if you had no experience. just say no:finger:

Turn signals again!
just pull the housing apart and remove the turn signal stalk and then take it apart. sometimes well a lot of times the parts after t30 years do get worn. mine had a similar problem all it needed was cleaned and hence when put back together worked fine.
-
Got one at last!
we need to see more pics, from what i can see though of the car it does look really nice and clean. i would think that you shouldnt have much to do. also from the looks it seems that restoration wont be that hard. great find!
