Zrush

PrOxLaMus, You've got some kinda stereo set up in that Z. How many rear windows, or for that matter, any of your windows have you had to replace. Hope you listen to decent music and not that pounding rap junk that I here go by my house at 2 am:devious: I like what you carry your stereo system around in.........a nice Z.

Seems like a nice car, but it has alot and I mean alot of miles on it. If it's been well maintaned, say maybe........$3,500.00. I bet you could get more from some high school ricer kid who's mommy or daddy are looking to buy him car.

Yeah, I have to agree. Pin-striping is not my bag either. It's a 70's thing as so many of the cars in that era had it. The Black Pearl is nice, but the ZX's that followed where to "Disco" for me with all that two-tone paint, plush interior and fancy switches and buttons. Talk about an electrical nightmare. :sick:

MSA sells the weather stripping kits. Don't skimp on this or you'll find yourself with leaks or ill fitting rubber. Been there, done that.

Smokey Check out the info on zhome.com on the Black Pearl. The color code matches. It seems to be the real deal but I would negotiate the price due to the ding on the car.

The carpet by the seats looks kind of reddish, you know like when black interior has faded. Maybe it's just the photo.

MSA in California might have them as well as Courtesy Nissan in Texas. Courtesy Nissan even had a OEM drivers side window for my 77 Z.

Can anyone tell me what the stock gear ratio was in the R180 rearend and the R200 rearend. Also, did the gear ratio change with the year of the Z even though they had the R180 or R200 chunk.

It's something that I sure would love to have. Generally it's someone who has lots and lots of money and they have purchased unique cars throughout their life. If I ever win the Lotto, that would be one of the first things I would do. Purchase collectable cars.

I went on the web site that is advertising that Green 240Z which was recently uploaded. Nice car. They're asking $18,000 and it's from a private collection. The web address is CarPoint.com.au. To bad it's not in the states, as it appears to be a very nice Z. Cars that are for sale from private collections are usually the ones to check out. I have a few friends that have purchased cars from private collections and they have turned out to be well worth the money.

We tried keeping the bumper shocks on but they extended out too far.

Steveo77, 2ManyZ's was right. I purchased a complete aero kit from MSA and fabricated steel bumpers behind the kit. I used two by quarter inch square tubing and fabricated it to fit the contour of the aero kit on both the front and rear. I mounted them using the same bumper shock mounts and kept the crash bar slightly away from the inside of the aero kit so there would be no vibration issues possibly cracking the fiberglass. Also, we capped off the ends of the bumper pieces and filled them with ordinary play sand to give the crash bars additional strength. Not only did I do this for safety reasons but Haggerty Insurance Co. would not insure the car if it didn't have some type of protective bumpers thus reducing the repair costs of the car if it had been in either a front or rear collision. Thankz 2ManyZ's for the help.:classic:

Does anyone remember the movie "The Warriors". I think it came out in 1979. Well, when the Warriors are trying to get back to Coney Island, they have to go through some "turf" thats home to a gang called the Orphans. Before they fight the Orphans, it shows a few of the Warriors leaning up against a rotted out Z. I've seen that movie a hundred times and that's the first time I've noticed it.

Eye a gree whit what u siad. Spel chek not workin whrite.

You watch, someone WILL buy it. Looks about the right size to fit in those trash can size exhaust tips that makes those ricers sound like angry bees.

Just called Dish Network...they don't offer that channel If anyone is willing to make copies, I would be interested in getting one. I will pay for your time and the return shipping of the dvd. I too, along with seerex would love to see this.:cross-eye

Too funny. Some day they'll have a ride like that in Orlando I'm sure. ROFL You sit right were the bombs are, if you feel like you're going to hurl, they can just release you.

Rats, I have a Dish Network satellite and I don't think I get that channel. In fact, I've never heard of the "Fine Living" channel. Might have to get a copy if it's worth the effort.

Nice ZX, but the graphic on the hood has got to go. He should get one of those Honda ricer wings on the back to match the ridiculous painting on the hood. ROFL
