Thanks Stephen. The horns I am looking at have the following markings on them. MODEL-ME 12V3A 115dB DATE X10 Not sure what the ME or X10 stand for but I plan on doing some research to find out. So it looks like the horns on the 70-73 are all the same eh?

Neither works for me. All I get is audio.

There's nothing wrong with ZX's that a few engine and suspension mods wouldn't fix. I guess it's just a matter of preference. You can flash your hi beams...er I mean lights and me anytime. I'll flash back

Can anyone give me the original part#'s for the left and right horns from a 1973 240Z? Also, were these used on any other years? I'm missing my left horn and looking to replace one or both with the same type.

Nice job on the refinishing those horns. As soon as I find a replacement set I'll be doing the same.

Mine came with what I believe to be a Suspension Technologies bar probably mounted by the P.O. I can't tell if there was ever a stock bar mounted but the mount points are certainly there.

My air dam is mounted the same way as the picture you provided. It appears to have been mounted correctly. I guess it depends on the design of the dam. Nice lookin car btw.

Sounds kinda lumpy. I like it.

Ok, I may be regressing to my 1980's teen jargon but these cars are just gay. And while I'm at it, anime is gay too.

Lovin' those fancy new choke cables. Kinda sets the rest of that bling off.

I hope this isn't where the custom industry is going, because if it is, I need to get me a grenade launcher. At least the blue one has an artistic flare. The green one is just wrong.

That is one nice Z. It's hard to believe that anyone could hang on to a car like this that long and drive it so little. I plan on putting lots of miles on mine. These things were made to be driven. IMHO

Looks like this one from MSA: http://www.zcarparts.com/store/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=50-1402&Category_Code=7AD1

That's for sure. You can't exactly do a frame up resto on your body and be goo d as new at 30yrs old. Man I wish I could.

Ummmmm.....yeah.

Montoya I believe the search ID you are providing a link to is a randomly generated number that is either cookie based or simply goes away after a time. Anyway, it's simple enough to search for honda + blower as you suggested. I found out today that my blower is dead as well. I had never actually tried it. guess I'll add this to my to-do list.

Ok, I'll bite too. This is a very subjective topic. I believe it's all in the eye, ear and seat of the beholder. Basically a matter of preference as stated above. There is no "better" in this case.

I assume "nick" is Aussie slag for "good" or some other synonym?

Thanks guys. In thinking it through it sounded feasible. I just wanted a sanity check. Kenny, that's pretty much how I envisioned doing it although I hadn't planned on jacking from the bell housing. Great idea. I wasn't sure the oil pan was strong enough to carry the weight of the motor once the crossmember was removed. I had planned on propping it up along the outer edge with some 4x4 stock. Sounds like it is. My floor jack is the 3+ ton SUV version from Sears. Unfortunately it has a small pad on it so I usually use a piece of 2x4 on it to spread the load and provide a softer surface for lifting. I have already stripped everything off except for the front crossmember, diff and assoc pieces, and the moustache bar. Painting is coming along slowly as weather and time of day are a factor since I have to work outside.

I am in the process of refinishing all of the suspension components on my car and wanted to do the front crossmember while I had it all apart. Has anyone had success removing the crossmember while leaving the engine in the car? Do you think it would be possible to jack and block the engine up and remove the crossmember? I do not have acces to a engine hoist, and although I could rent one, I will have to get the crossmember bead blasted and painted before putting it back in so this would likely take a week or so and I don't want to rent a hoist for this long if I don't have to.

Looking good man! Very clean.

You assumed I was looking for a response from one of them. I was not. I know BambiKiller is gone. However, there are a couple thousand members on this board who might have a constructive comment regarding the switch I mentioned. Would you rather I start a whole new thread on this same topic?

Beautiful car there Ronnie. Love the red paint and the wheels.

Cya in a while. Happy Holidays to you and yours!
