    The Scarab has a sunroof made by "Z-Lid". Remember that company. The literature is so cool, wicked 70's stuff. I'll have to take a picture of the plaque that's installed infront of the Z-Lid inside. It has far out 70's writing and design. Vicky

    I wonder how cars like that are insured. I know most classic car carriers won't cover your vehicle if it's raced in any form. But you'd think those guys have some type of coverage. Very sad indeed. Vicky

    ............and the semi-ricey green car in the background just sits there and smerks Quite a painful view. Vicky
  5. Ahhh, memories of the days when you could rent a Hertz Mustang. Most people took them to the drag strip and returned (or at least tried) them with the rear tires nearly in shreads. I do believe the 350Z would be returned with a "tire feathering" problem these days. .Wasn't that a major complaint on most of those cars. Have fun Chris, wish we could make it again. Vicky
  6. Did you notice that along with the clear center bulb there's what appears to be a tiny blue bulb along the upper rim of the light. If you're looking for the modern look that the newer BMW's, Mercedes and Caddys have just go by a set of the "Cool Blue" bulbs sold at most auto parts stores. That way you're not taking a chance and you know it will work. We have them in the 77 and they are fantastic. FWIW Vicky
  7. Man that hurts the ol' eyeballs . It's amazing how the Z can take a hit that would disable most cars but yet the Z survives :classic: . One day that car will be pristine. Thanks for not giving up on it and sending it to the crusher like some people would do. Much luck. Free is a great price for just about anything! Vicky

    Maybe he left us for the Pinto forums. Has to be lots of exciting talk on those sites, like "How I got hit in the rear end and still survived the exploding gas tank". I sure hope is doing fine. Vicky

    Yes but it's such an easy fix when the clock quits working. Reach through the glovebox and change the battery..............and I can even borrow one out of the TV remote if need be! Or vice versa Vicky

    The fact**y rest***d (VZ's) run off a double A battery, at least mine does. FWIW Vicky

    I remember seeing some of the local stock car racers here at Sunshine Speedway pouring transmission fluid down the carb. They claimed it worked as good as anything you could buy out there for cleaning out the engine. One thing I've read is you have to be careful of some of the engine cleaners or additives because they effect the perfomance of spark plugs. Who knows.............car folklore or redneck remedys.

    Now that would be one of the dumbest things I've heard of. What would be the point? Maybe a Japan sticker for a Japanese car would be neato but other then that.... :stupid: Maybe it's part of that cars custom look Vicky

    That "NL" sticker on the back means the Z has been overseas. The Netherlands (sp) possibly? Vicky

    Tomohawk the local dealer might laugh in your face about retrieving original paperwork on that old of a car. I can tell you you might have better luck with Nissan North America. I have paperwork in the Scarab (1977 280Z), the build date is 1/77 and Nissan North America could only provide the date the warranty went into effect which was April of 1977, that tells me the car was sold in April of 1977. That's about all you're probably going to get, even if that. Good luck though :classic: Vicky

    That's MSA new air dam, right? I think it looks kind of "thick" but I bet once your car is all done and painted blue it will look great. For a heavily modded Z those types of air dams look fine IMO. Me, I like the little front spook and that type of spoiler you have. It's just the right amount of candy on a Z car. As others here have said build your car to impress yourself. Vicky

    It's the idiot group that runs Golden Palace.com. They will pay anybody just about anything to advertise their casino. Vicky
  22. Hey Matt we all saw and picked over that car about 4 months ago when it was at Southern Hot Rods (or something like that) Auction. Looks fantastic on the surface but we saw it underneath, It's a mess. I think the only thing that makes that Z look different are the rims. I love 'em. Gives the car a beefy look. So many people put flowery rims on the Z. Those are Torque Thrusts(?) it think. If I were to purchase that car or any car for that matter, I always start from the underside up. It tells you what kind of care the car has had. We determined that car has at one time been "rode hard and put away wet", if you know what I mean. FWIW Still a nice show piece. Vicky
  23. Along with not ever seeing the 240Z emblem, I believe the designer of the 350Z never saw a 240Z :tapemouth Vicky

    After reading how close texasz and daddz VINS are, I thought it would be kind of neat to see if any other members here have Z's that might be consecutive. Here are my VIN's 1972 240Z production date 05/72 VIN#HLS3080428 1977 280Z production date 12/76 VIN#HLS30366953 1977 280Z production date 01/77 VIN#HLS30374288 (Scarab) Vicky

    Yes the 280Z does have a one piece armrest/handle on both sides. I remember my 78 always having the problem of the fake chrome piece never staying attached to the door. Everytime you shut the door the thing would slip down on the handle. Vicky
