I've got one of those catalogs.... DAMN the yanks have it good...

Dude 8 grand + 240Z will get you FLYING How good condition is the car in - you might want to spend a bit restoring it to look nice too since you have so much to invest into it...

Cool, anotehr QLDer - whereabouts do you live? No, the G-Nose is what the special aerodynamic pack for the Z is referred by. Very few of these came out of the factory stock, so many people just buy a kit and do it themselves... there's a G-Nosed car in my avatar (pic to the left). They look quite cool, but I'd imagine it'd be impossible to know where the front of your car is !!! It's already hard with a normal Z

I got quoted $396 AUD (about $200 US) from the same place Mike... I guess shipping costs a hell of a lot ?!

Please post pics!

Agreed. Old posts are VERY useful! Saves the old wise ones from explaining everything twice...

That's what I wanna know!

But you still won't be able to say you have a GTR motor

OK, I was wondering if perhaps that was a little too late for you Silver and red eh? Nice... I've been trying to get my mum to buy a 156 ever since it came out Her last car was a 164 but the depreciation on those things made her quite unhappy... hasn't wanted an Alfa since (She's happy driving a Pajero (Montero/Shogun)!!! Shame!!!) In all irony, I read recently that the 156 has depreciated the least compared to all other cars in the same category over the last 3 years. And yes, I did tell her that

I'm sure you could find a decent little Z for 2500 US... btw if you make sure Mike doesn't see, post some pics of the 300 you have in the works! What are your plans? sorry but I like ALL Z's !

200ZR??? Aaalllllllaaaannnnnnnnn!

bwa thats nothing! Took me 4 days to clean the inside of my tail lights!!! LOL

Crunch sounds like your synchros are tiring (except reverse, which doesn't HAVE a synchroniser... clunk I don't know, but I've got that too in reverse

Yea, point noted! I couldn't restrain myself earlier this morning... I just HAD to go for a small drive around the back streets... Z's are addictive!!!

Nah, I decided white is the go. Maybe my next Z can have black? hehe Finally got them apart - those little nuts were impossible to get and in the process I snapped the plastic pin but I've glued the pin back on with some really tough stuff so it should hold. I cleaned up both lenses as much as I could, and used some ordinary car polish which worked well. I've also painted the inside of the backing white - it's still drying. Now I've got to find some glue which will stick, but not too much that next time I want to take the tail lights apart (God forbid) I can do it without too much trouble. I take it some silicon based stuff is the best?

Ya. I shall attempt it again but there is absolutely no room between the pin and the washer/nut... Painting the inside white is a good idea, perhaps I could paint them black to give a tinted effect! maybe

Does anyone know if the hatch will fit a 240? And if so, how much do you want for it? (shipping might be expensive for me though!)

OK I'm up to the "sheet metal blind nut" part. These things are so small and awkward - the tabs are about a millimetre wide! Fragile you say? The darn thing wont move!!! What do I do? :stupid:

Damnnn looks to me like more than 2k worth of Z! Is a number-matching original 240Z really worth that little over there?

Thank you immensely! I'm not sure if I want to go cleaning the whole assembly though as I dont want to remove that rubber that goes around teh whole thing. It looks VERY brittle I will attempt to remove it though Makes it seem fun - but expensive too with all those products I have to buy! Now, my little chrome thing in the middle is slightly crackled and could do with a refresh. Has anyone been successful in making these look newer with some obscure product or would I have to go to a professional to get it done (not going to happen)? Thank you so much for you input!!! I just wish Datsun had made their lenses a bit easier to get at!

My left tail light is dirty from 30 odd years of exhaust fumes and it annoys me. So this afternoon I took it all apart (who would have thought gettnig a tail light out could be so difficult?) but now I'm left with tthe whole assembly on the kitchen table. I can't work out how to take it apart! How do you separate the lenses from the rest of the tail light assembly? Also, does anyone have any suggestions for how to clean them? Thanks !!

hahahah good stuff good stuff

wasn't having a go at you mate sorry if it seemed that way!

What do you think?! --- People have done 300ZX brake swaps before IIRC so they should be pretty easy to fit. Sorry that I cant give any more specific information...

Darius spent big bucks on that 240... But V8 swaps can be done pretty cheaply if you know your stuff - not sure how much help you'll get here though as most of us appreciate the car for what it was meant to be not what you can make it into... Check out www.hybridz.com for a community of Zcar engine swapping enthusiasts That said, dont forget this place - the guys here haev an amazing knowledge of the Z cars expanding to more than just the engine
