Supply and demand. The 2000GT was basically a limited production concept car. Only 337/351 (a couple of #'s are floating around) 2000GT's were ever built (they were actually built by Yamaha for Toyota). Production ran from 1967-1970 and list price was $6,800. Way higher than most competitors (911's, Z's at the end of the run).

I assume you swapped in a new fuel filter...

A little harsh considering he said someone else will. Still have a hard time picturing those on a Z...maybe on a clown car...

Yes. Agreed. Welcome back... Another Super Mod on the prowl...

Very nice... Where is the minimal rust that you mentioned?

Hey, nice car! Must suck not having a hood though...

Sweet! Almost as good is the sh*t eating grin on your face! Another one lands on the rock. Congratulations!

Yeah, didn't get all the air out....make sure to bleed in the proper sequence (furthest to nearest).

Also try car-part.com It is a composite search engine for a ridiculous number of wrecking yards. A quick search found 51 left fenders ranging from $45 to $170. Welcome to the board. FYI...assuming he is in the US, there are 10 Enterprises in the US...(AL, FL, KS, LA, MS, OK, OR, UT, WI, WV)...

Come on people...the GTR beat the bullet train across Japan!!! It's AWESOME... Check this out: http://www.surfthechannel.com/index.php?page=info&cat=television&show=Top_Gear&eid=88250&season=11&episode=4 By the way, they have all the Top Gear episodes on this site (if you haven't seen Top Gear, you haven't lived...)

Is the dead spot consistent at the same RPM in all gears or just at 80 MPH? Things to consider: 1) Vacuum advance / timing issue. 2) Some form of fuel restriction / pressure insufficiency (fuel filter clogged, weak pump, etc.) 3) Some form of other restriction (head / exhaust / etc.) (this could be a flier).

Sweet...both cars look great...keep posting pictures as you progress on the resto. Welcome aboard!

Haven't been watching, but is the "With All Due Respect" new? :ogre: On a '75 you are probably talking about an Air Flow Meter. Motorsport Auto sells them for $170 or so if you can't find one on the sites. Cheers.

Pitchers man...pitchers.... Congrats...super low #... Now you have 3 too! The disease is spreading.

How many Z's can fit in a 24x24 space??? Z length: 163 in (13.6 ft) Z width: 64 in (5.3 ft) Z area: 72 sq ft. Garage area: 576 sq ft. Garage area / Z area: 8 You can fit 8 Z's in a 24 x 24 garage...you can get a tarp for 356 and TR6... (He didn't give the roof height...otherwise we could have stacked em up...) Welcome to the big garage club!

Holy Mecano set-up.... I suppose it isn't noticeable at speed... Just don't slow down...

Yes. See part #2 in the photo below from the Black Dragon catalog. If they're not in, it would cause your problem.

Hola Miguel, You're english is much better than my spanish...don't worry about it...this board has people from all around the world...the spelling and grammar aren't always perfect (especially with the Anglos...) but we get the message across... That is quite the project you have. Search the forums here and you will find a ton of information to help you along. If you don't find the info on a search, ask the question, some of the best cruise these pages... Welcome aboard.

I have a busted knuckle everything on my cars...

Willing to be corrected on this but: 1) Carbs: 70-72 will have round tops...take intake with it and should bolt right on and be a performance improvement (but will likely need rebuild as has been sitting in boneyard). 73 may have flat tops like the 260Z. You will not want to go to the effort of rebuilding flat tops. Not worth it. Find some round tops. This is a common upgrade. 2) Seat belts: Early 240's (70-71) did not have retractable seat belts. Don't think they'll work in a 260. 3) Bumpers: no clue. Reference others.

This is what jumps immediately to mind. You may have either forgotten to re-install the shims or installed them backwards (they are directional...). Might want to throw new pads in there if the orginals are wonky at all. Good luck.

1. Pictures: stick'em on photobucket. dead easy. 2. Manuals: first priority...download the FSM at carfiche.com 3. Woohoo: you're in da club... Cheers!

Hey ya, guess it's going to have to be GottaZ...or WorkinonaZ...or WheredalldarustcomefromonmyZ... Congratulations...picture 2 summers from now cruising down to the Cape in your refreshed Z... Pictures welcome.

Man, just two weeks ago I was in the pits at the Nationwide race here in Montreal getting some awesome back in the day type stories from Stan Barrett (if you don't know who he is, google him, probably the coolest guy I've ever met). Paul featured prominently in a few of those stories (he's the godfather of Stan's son Stanton). Only ever heard good things about the man from everyone who met him... BTW...Sailor...what kind of Canadian are you...Paul's best movie was clearly...SLAPSHOT!!! Best wishes to the family.
