You should get better springs and retainers. And new rocker arms.

millerje01, I'd lower the float height (less gas) and see if that helps, its a 30 year old car, you cant always go by what the manual says.

I dont think they were trying to drift, the oil barrens from the middle east will buy new cars and put oil all over the road to put on a little show. i guess its just their way of having fun, looks more dangerous than anything else. and as for that racing crash, OUCH!

Wait a minute, are you serious?

In the linked message it says that welding the crack isnt recommended, why is this?

HLS30, How much did you sand them down? I have read that if you sand down the dome shaped end part so it is completly flat it will throw the light less directly. Chris

wow, I always thought because it was a small car the inside would be small to, its like we belong together Thanks for all the feedback. Chris

Wow, thanks guys, I'm set then. Now i just need to get a slightly fatter wallet.

Hey, How tall are most of you guys? I'm 6'2" and I'm wondering if I will be able to fit well into the Z. Last time I sat in one (I dont own one of these beauties yet, hopefully in good time I will) I think it was pretty tight but not so tight it was unconfortable, I wasn't driving the car so that might make a difference. I guess my questin is how tall is TOO tall? Thanks Chris

I can't stand fuel injected cars, I dont like how it is set where its set and thats it, there are no adjustments(not easily at least) , I like the tunability of the carb. Mabye thats just me?

they come up between 10 and 20 thousand (Canadian$) I was actually looking for a project car, something that I could drive but was pretty rough around the edges. I don't knwo if im just looking in the wrong places but i can never seem to find the fixer upper type, they are all good running, no rust(or so thy say), nice paint, just good looking cars, how much would i expect to pay for a 240 that say needs a bit of rust repair, paint work, drivetrain work, mabye a bit of motor work? I can do most if not all the motor work myself, I can paint the car mslef, body work I am not to familiar(sp) with yet but I could probly stunbmle through it with some help from an autobody shop, basically i could do most of the labour intensive work myself, so restoring or refreshing it would not be to big of a problem. Oh and which route is cheaper? to buy a car that is already in A1 condition or to buy an old "beater" and fix it up? I would still probly fix it up even if t is more expensive just for the experience . Thanks guys

I'm talking about the 280Z. Oh and how si the 260 for handling? somewhere between the 240 and the 280?

lookis like ill have to buy a 240 then thanks guys

Ok, heres my situation, Where I live (ontario) 240Z's are about 15000 but I can get a 280Z for about 5000. Both being in the same condition, heres my question. Is there a big noticable difference in handling between the two cars? can you feel the extra weight and softer suspension? and is the 240 worth the extra 10000? I know the 240Z will handle better but what I dont know is how much better. Where does the extra weight of the 280 come from? Thanks Chris

I though it was 150 at the crank and around 110 at the wheels, don't take my word for it though.

Get Recaro seats, they are expensive but well worth it.

I dont mean to be a pest but if it was an rb20de then wouldnt it only be a 2ltr? And from what I've herd and if I understand correctly, your better off with the L24 over the rb20, but i may be incorrect, it wouldnt be the first time.

Has anyone ever put the 300ZX(Z32) tail lights on a 240Z? I am just kinda curiouse what it would look like. And if there are pics it's always better.

when i try to click on the FAQ button i get a screen that sais "You can't access this file directly...", why?

What makes the 260 and 280Z's so much heavier than the 240? And does the weight greatly affect the cars performance/handeling?
