sleepyzzz

welcome and congrats on your find. i used to live in Greenville, and now reside in Harrison, AR. you list central MS in location, so maybe we are from the same area. if you ever get up this way, give me a shout.

no pics of the engine bay????????????

yes thanks, i got that from you and didn't give ya credit, sorry. but found out how to wire it up elsewhere, as you didn't explain how to do it.

wanted to post an update as i went a different route for fixing my starter problems. after doing some research i find that adding a Bosch four pole relay into the starter wiring might work. tried that and yes, my starter hits every time now. $10 for the relay, and another $5 for the crimp connectors, and 12 ga wire. took the ignition switch wire off the solenoid, and ran it to the relay, pole 86. came off the battery with a wire to the relay pole 30/51 and out the opposite side, pole 87 back to the ignition switch connection. and last pole 85 was grounded to the car body. this took maybe thirty minutes and was a very easy and cheap fix. and i read where this takes the load off the ignition switch as a bonus.

check out this item on EBay 380202715032 i don't see the manufacturer's name listed, but $69.99 free shipping, and an extra mast.

this was from last weekend. we dodged a bullet this weekend, but snow is back in the forecast for this Monday, and this coming Friday. :mad: and we swept the snow off the z after this picture was taken, so don't go dripping on me for mistreating my z. the wife's Maxima and my roadster have the garage. if it keeps up with this snow, which is very unusual for us, i may be looking for a four wheel drive Nissan Patrol or Exterra,sigh.

replaced both cables as mine were not that good, and I still need to pull my starter and get it rebuilt. i did get the z to crank with jumper cables yesterday, and put some time in it driving around town. my car should be good to go,once i have the starter taken care of. glad to hear that you got your z running too OniZ

Jared, get the fenders on that z and drive it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

any chance the 260Z and fairlady roadsters might be considered? too many models i am sure, but there are alot of those around.

i hope he is reading this, because i think he is a super cool man, main reason, for loving the Z car. and i would consider him a very sharp businessman. i think we need to be glad that he recognised the importance of this Z, and snapped it up. keeping it from the elements as best he could, and is now hanging on to it. with intentions of getting it driveable again. thats' just too cool. and i wasn't knocking him at all, for not selling the car. if you took it that way, i sure didn't mean it. just taking a poke at the mag for a very enticing front cover, and then being let down or dissapointed from my view of a barn find. where i imagined someone taking this off his hands. as for the negative comments, or slights coming from some folks. i won't get in on that, but i think they should be called out for what they are. first guess being insanely jealous;)

Jared, you are welcome. but i meant every word. beautiful build, and one that will inspire everyone to take it up a notch or two for sure. i see you are in Knoxville? i have several relatives in Maryville which isn't too far away. if we ever make it back up to vacation around Pigeon Forge and Gatlingburg, will try and see if we might hook up while we are up. and one more event, you might consider, Branson Z fest. i am just thirty miles from there, and would drive up for sure to see that z.

hey that is a great job for being your first. do two or three more of those and you can start charging for it. would be glad to bring mine down if you want to get a little more practice in.

I'm right there with ya, and i thought i knew cars.:disappoin

not trying to slight the write up in Sport Z, but when i read the cover, and then go to the story, i was dissapointed thinking someone had PURCHASED a rare Z barn find. only to read that the owner has no intention of selling. he is very sharp though, give him that, in recognizing the importance, and value, or a very low vin. and remember everyone, this gentleman is getting on in years, and his recollections may not all be accuarate, but he deserves our respect, and love, as a fellow Z owner.

i had an uncle tell me one time, if you run a hundred, and crack your windows a little, its just as good as a c.:laugh:
