Just out of curiuosity what do you have done to your engine? If thats stock then i think i've been under-estimating datsuns. (i woulnt know how fast my car is because its never run since i got it!)

as soon as you get the chance get some pics!

i'm sorry but that is hidious. so so so so ugly. z cars look way better! looks like a........how do i put this..... just my opinion

Sounds good to me

I dont know if this has been discussed, or if i even put it in the right catagory but has anyone purchased the 240z weatherstriping kits off of ebay? I'm talking about ones like these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7984619154&fromMakeTrack=true I ask because i need to weather strip my whole car. Is this a good price or is there a cheaper way? has anyone purcaced from this guy before? What are your opinions on this kit? worth it? Does this kit pretty much geteverything? I think it does but i'm not sure. let me know. Sanks. Matt Bemmerguy714

thanks that helped alot. I'll PM escanlon somtime thanks again

i bought one for my 240z that was used. I still havent installed it but when i do i'll let u know.

thanks. yea when i was at msa purcacing the bumper, and lights that fit in there they told me i can mount it on the bumper if i wanted to. I dont think i'm going to thou. I want to keep the weight as low as i can. Plus it was pretty messed up in the front when i got it. thanks for the info EScanlon, i was going to just give the guy the bumper and wing to mount while painting. The only reason i didnt put it on my self is that the front had been hit (not serious maybe 30mph) so the hood is weird, bumper was bent real good and the grill is dinged up. Overall it needs some front end work (straighing and stuff). So i dont know. I think i will end up putting it up myself after hearing that. THANKS!

Yeah i saw it. i like it alot. I posted in that thread about a really nice z that had the air dam blended in, in the front. i was thinking of doing somthing similar but my dad didnt want too.

hi gary. Here are some pics of the wires i'm confused about. I saw that you have a 73 240z, but i think that most colors would be the same i think. ? If you can just get me a pic of where the wiring harness under the dash connects to the engine harness this would help me a bunch. I already have a bunch of diagrams and cant understand them. Kind of a messed up pic but its of three wires coming out of the bundle of wires going towards the rear of the car. Taillights maybe? idk. Starting with the left wire, it has two wires, one is solid black, the other is red with a black stripe. They are in this black thing. THese wires go in another bundle towards the rear of the car. Where do they connect to (what are they for?). Then there are two other wires in another bundle (in the same harness going towards the rear of the car). One is black and the other is read with a blue stripe. I dont know anything about either of these wires, where do they go? If someone has a pic of they'res that would help a ton. I think this wire is hooked up right, but i'm not sure (i know nothing of electric stuff in cars). This wire gets hot whenever i hook up the white/red stripe wire in the pic below. ? i dont know why this happens. btw this is a pic of the connection between the underdash harness going into the engine harness. Where does this go? it comes out of the harness under the dash. ???? :disappoin As you can see it a mess. THe dash is just laying there where the passenger seat would go. I need to get it to run. Like i said it worries me because it use to turn over and not start. now it wont even turn over. PLEASE HELP ME! if anone can get me a pic it would be a great help. Heres another dumb question. How do you read wires? Lets say theres a wire that white with a red stripe, would you write "white/red" or "red/white" or nether? Sorry for asking a stupid question, but i'm so lost.

This is the blue im talking about. This picture shows the origanal blue i found under the upholstary of the door. Its kind of metallic. I like it alot. YOu can see that the color it looks like now near the bottom of the pic is really ugly. And for some reason, theres a little red in the old paint. I dont know where that came from. Also does anyone know of a good paint shop place in the Costa Mesa, Ca area? Also for those of you who didnt paint it yourself how much did it cost? I would do it myself but i dont know what i'm doing, and have never done it before so i would'nt exactly be in a rush to try it (especially not on this car).

Well thanks for the opinions guys. THats true its all prefreance. I kind of like it. It gives it a modern aggresive look, and at the same time i dont see to many people with them. I guess thats the biggest reason.

I'm going to make the whole car the same dark factory blue again. Why dont you like the front?

THis is what the old upholstry looked like when i got the car This is what it looks like now. I pick up the rest of the upholstry next week. I'll be posting more pics later. TEll me what u think!

I just bought an airdam from MSA and a rear wing, It's going to the paint shop this weekend. What do you guys think? Also, i'm curious if anyone else has this same airdam on there car? The only way to mount it are these two plastic peices on the very top of the air dam. No exactly in a hurry to mount $350.00 by two plastic peices. How did you support your airdam from the bottom? I'm worried that at high speeds if not supported it mmight snap and i'll run it over. What it currently looks like in front What it currently looks like in back What it will look like The spoiler What it will look like in the back

I looked all over this forum but could'nt find it. I need to know how the woring harness under the dash hooks up to the engine harness. I have the haynes wiring diagram but cant seem to understand it. Does anyone have an actual picture. This would help me alot thanks. The problem is that there is a white/red wire that gets hot so i think i hooked up something wrong. The car would turn over and never start but now it wont even turn over. So i sont know why it wont start. PLease HELP!!!!!

Sure thats nice. But this is the ultimate z car! THere will never even be something close to this ever! IT was on ebay some time ago......and i didnt bid.... :surprised ......... :sleepy: ............ :stupid: BUT here is the thing, what do you consider a z car? THis no longer has a z engine. So make your own decition. Let me know what You think!

My tach is bouncing all over too! Would I just have to replace it completly? :stupid:

Couldnt agree with you more. streotyping. :stupid: I'm 17 and play video games and i'm not fat. I'm saying i dont sit there all day either. After work/school maybe. But not for a long time. I usally get bored and want to do it in real life. ha ha! :bandit: I have seen the game before never really played it thou. they have old school z's in that game? i didnt know that. What about old school bimmers? i should really get that game but i'm spending too much money on my 240z!

Hope everyone is alright! Everybody drive safe out there! :disappoin

I hope.... :eek:

Thanks i plan to ask alot of questions. :cross-eye Dont really know to much of these cars. Should be fun thou.

Kinda chezzy but this is what i did.
