It's not too hard really. You'll want to have a 90 degree screwdiver. Release all four control cables. 2 on the passenger side, then the other 2 on the driver's side. I'm close to 300 pounds myself and can get to the cable clamps pretty well. It's a ten minute job.

Here they are on my roadster - http://public.fotki.com/datsunvic/new_shots/autocross_roadster.html Here's a set of 13'' on a 510 http://public.fotki.com/datsunvic/new_shots/ar_vector_mags_with_caps.html At just a little less than 11 pounds a piece for the the 14's, they really are a great wheel.

If you mean these http://66.179.41.42/gen1/general.html Those are American Racing Vectors. I have set of 14X6's that I use for Auto-Cross wheels on my roadster. Since they fit the Z as well, so much the better! I'm looking for the center caps. If any one sees a set, please pick it up for me!!

I'm interested in buying a new glove box. My interior looks so good now, that I would hate to open the glove box and have someone see that torn up mess. Can they be installed without disassembling a bunch of dash components? It woul be very cool if it just slides in from the front. Can someone give me the steps invovled?

I've got to reinforce what AlfaDog had to advise. Buy the best dam Z you can possible afford! Be ready, willing and able to WALK AWAY from a deal when the Z doesn't meet your criteria. Inspect any canidate thoroughly! If only I had taken this advice on my first Z! I thought I had a winner - I ended up parting that poor rust bucket out not even a year later! Leason learned. My latest 72 is the result of taking these rules to heart.

I want an Air Dam! But I don't wany to glass it into place. What I'd like is a fiberglass model that replaces the sheet metal piece, using the same mounting bolt locactions. I like this style in particular. Any suggestions?

>OzLime240Z Wrote - And the Pontiac GTO - Australians love RWD cars. Especially when it's an Aussie Car! Pontiac GTO = Holden. You gotta love those f'n Holdens! a long history of Big V8 power mongers! There's only two contries in the world who would make cars like the Holdens.... The U.S. and Australia! No wonder we get along so well. Hmm, Maybe I should change my online name to Calilime240Z!

I had a good time with Khumo VictorRacers (I liked the name as well) 205/55/14's. they lasted well and stuck like crazy. Driving them regulary on the street is not a very good idea though. I ended up cracking them straight across the face. And they have a VERY stiff sidewall, which makes them a uncomfortable touring tire. But for AutoXing and mountain-road-craziness, there may not be a better tire.

Michael, You can commision a restoration from a top shop, like PierreZ or CDM or others. Be prepared to spend 25,000 ~ 30,000 though. Or you can by a previously restored Z from 17,000 to 22,000. As you can see, our cars are labors of love and will be upside-down on the value end of the deal. Now, if it we owned big Healys, We'd spend 40K on a restoration and have a 40K car afterwards. Too bad we wouldn't be able to actually drive it though! Value is subjective. Your car is worth exactly how much you love it. That is until you go to sell it! Selling is a sin anway. Build your Z and insist that they bury you in it!

James, Snatch that baby up, or tell us where it's at!

Left-handed cars are Zee's Whilst the right handed varity are Zed's No, wait that's not right either, Canadian cars are also Zed's. Ok, so it not that simple. I live in Los Angeles and I drive a 1972 Datsun 240Z (Zee). My buddy from Ontario comes over and tells me I've got the bitchen Zed. Which ever pronunciation you choose to use, Drive your Classic Datsun Sports car with the joy that only a Datsun Sports nut can understand, no matter what the language!

I up loaded 48 photos to the 2002 Classic Datsun Show folder. http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=522&thumb=1 I wasn't too thorough in collecting notes of who's car was who's, so I hoping everyone will help put names to cars.
