honestly to make the job right and to have the car right again a good donor roof is necessary. you will never get the roof right again without loads of bondo or the like. i had inquired at several shops about this becase of a good deal on a 240 with a sunroof. i was told either buy one without a sunroof or transplant. the idea i had with welding a piece in and fix to make it look good does work but. what happens is welding and heat take out more of what having a sunroof in the car already did.. i was told it could never really be right not matter how good it does look. james

but they are a quality product and a good company i wouldnt hesitate to buy they re product. good ride while still giving you the extra stiffness you want when going threw the twisties

its that thick about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick black goo that is sitting on your floor. i had some light surface rust underneath that on my 71 as the previous person stated take it off and por 15 it. i used a heat gun to make it softer and it peeled right up and there were some spots of surface rust there. nothing significant though. you have a nice clean car keep it that way and take care of that easy rust now before it becomes a 1000 dollar job later

i agree with 2MZ's that eibach does have a good spring but if you go to www.shox.com you can get yourself into a complete tokick set up with springs and shocks for a excellent price. i have had tokico adjustables before and they are great, and you cant find better for the money. konis are also very good but they want a mortage out of your house just to buy them

which is the 1990-1996 the n/a version had 222 at the crank and the turbo pushed out 300 at the crank one convert that i saw that fit well and looked fantastic was the use of the MKIII version or the 1987-1992 toyota supra engine. your still straigh six en it, 200 hp at the crank on the n/a, and 232 at the crank on the turbo. supra sixes make very easy and streetable hp to the 500 hp range though that might be a bit much in a small Z either way it is a great combo no matter what route you choose. just remember both the 84-89 nissan 3.0 and the 90-96 3.0 have very and i mean very expensive parts. 90+ na tbelt parts alone $354, why, no one else carries them, hardly, at least the important things like the tensioner that your required to replace, $129, water pump, $98, so you see where your money really goes . i have seen a 78 280Z with a Z32 tt, that was one AWESOME machine

its a mid engine designed car. very fast and VERY powerful

and they are located in ny as 2MZ"s stated the grous is ZANY if i remember right

<img src=http://www.240z.org/forums/attachment.php?postid=24935> hehe much better

i really like what they did here

you would be better off buying a kit from msa. the monza system sucks, its durablity is nill and it sounds like kaka . honetly it is what you get a cheap exhuast system

welcome to the board. hehe glad to see you over here too. this is a nice place to come and chat and talk about Z cars. and if i ever decide to move to the west coast again im still wanting a job ya know so drop me a line. are there any cheap places to rent:stupid: having the job that you do would be for me a dream come true also. working on Zcars and all. well in any event welcome to the board and happy to see you here

your almost at 2K whats up with that really

fiverglass aero damn from msa or the spook the urethane airdam does nothing but look good they bend and flutter about at highway speeds and are only good if you dont want them for any reason but to have one on yoru car.

you know your just to much. and i will not be without a Z im going to pick up a ZX 280 that is so the woman and i have a comprimise. i wont own a Z31 or 32 for the fact of the stabilty and engine issues. they just to me sorry for aying it shitted the cars up once they wen to the V engine. only other car i would concider and i know this is sacrilidge saying this on a Z site is a 87-92 toyota supra. why same reason. good reliability in a straight six engine

but she is going to go its just a matter of time

then you can decide on what you want<a href=http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html target="_blank">Tire Calculator</a>

has anyone ever done this. I had thought that someone had done this before to there Z. Meaning that taking the old style fuse block out and switching it to a newer style fuse block with the plug in fuses. If so what type or from what car did you use the new block? Anybody here know of this or know someone or somewhere that has done this Thanks James

at www.zhome.com and apparently it doesnt do the car really any good and really doesnt work and or perform well due to the way the su works if you wanted to stay with carburetion i would suggest dell ortos, webers or mikunis

they kept the inline six in the next gen Z car unlike here

cant add a lot to that

the first number 195 is tire width 60 is the aspect ratio hiegth from side wall to the top of the tire and the last number is the wheel diameter

i went back down to the garage. looked at the shifter and what i had to work with. then i saw TORCHES buwahahaha i placed the shifter into the vice and heated that sum bitch till it bent at a 90 degree angle, then about 3 inches back i did it again at about a 75 degree angle. put the shifter in and voila!!! YAYYYYY it works perfectly=)) thanks for all the suggestions just the same. i think what i needed was a minute to think instead of going insane but now its working beautifully=)) i my Z again

ugggggh!!!! i was messing with the Z now i have a problem. i put my 5 speed i had from my 72 its a 79 ZX 5 speed. anywho i hook it all up everything goes in fine and well till................. i go to replace the center panel and the shifter is right at the top of the cut out area for the gear shift. wtf gives??? i didnt have this prob with my 72. how can i get this to work with out leaving my center console off and having to cut a larger hole in my car. its on the lift as we speak, and i have to have it out of the garage tonight!! BTW mine is a 71 240Z build date 5/71
