Okay, I've recently aquireda 72 240zx, and when I went to take the wheels off today to get them balanced, I noticed that on what appears to be the subframe of my car, the piece of frame you see when you take off a front wheel, there is quite a bit of rust that has eaten at the metal. I was wondering if there are any places that sell either supports, or pre-fabbed pieces of medal to make the welding easier. Also, Could anyone reccomend some places where I could buy something like this? Preferably in TX if you can Thanks for your help. I don't want to drive the z until I get this fixed, so any quick support is greatly appreciated!

Thanks for all the info guys! We figured out the clunk today, it was a mount for the differential, a $40 part from courtesy nissan(god I love living 5min from them) and we put it on, no more clunk. Yeah, it probably is a 904 color code like was said. I'll try to get some pictures of it Thanks again, I look forward to contributing. And no, we are not going to put a SBC or SBF in it, although a RB25det is tempting.... edit: Also, on the wheels, the inner part is black. Is that just an option, or are these stock wheels, or does that give us any clue as to the options on the car? Thanks

Honestly, I wouldn't bother trying to race him, I'd just tell him he's wrong, prove it to him, and be happy there. No sense it making a challenge you can't win, just prove to him he doesn't know what he's talking about.

Hi guys, this is my first post, I'm new to this board. My father and I just today picked up a great 1972 240zx, it's white with a burgandy interior. It's in good original condition, body is real good. Needs a lot of work though. Right now, we want to do the work that gets it roadworthy again. First issue is that it makes a bad clunk when the clutch is pushed in. We think that could be the u-joints, but we're not sure, what do you guys think? Also, the shifter is really loose, is there a problem, or should I just look for a way to tighten it up? Many thanks, I look forward to talking with you guys, and hopefully contributing myself!] Edit: question. How can I tell the original paint color. We think it is white, can I decode the VIN?
