You can try Nissan at this site: http://www.courtesyparts.com/energysuspension/oldzcar.html or try this one also: http://zbyter.home.attbi.com/ My Z has Tokico non-ajustable shock and lower springs, but i haven't ride in the car yet because it is still in storage. I'm waiting for the snow to go awaaaaaaaaaaaay... Can't help you to give a feedback from my ride...

Well, thanks for the advice....

Thanks for the car. I do not have the MSA catalog, since everybody is talking about it, I might order it, but the price for us Canucks is stiff because of the exchange rate... + customs and taxes... so i try to stay away from it.. I know how I am!!!!:tapemouth

Here is what is sfor sale by a member of the Ontario (CANADA) Z Club. Would it be a good investment to do a swap on my Z? N.B. Price is in Can $, so around 140$US for the whole stuff. electronic parts for 1977,280z. distributor,electronic control unit,ignition control unit,air flow meter.all in working order.price:225.00for everything.

Does it look like this one?

From waht I gathered in my books on Z, the tires were Bridgestone, 165 or 175 13 inches for the States, ans in England tehy were using sometime Dunlops.

Yeah good advice, I'll try to have a quote on the parts before the car is out!!!

Well, congrat! Car looks sharp, but I have no idea why 2 choke levers... Welcome to our board and have fun reading! it is a nice place to be instructed on Z machines!

Ok, just wanted to know if this code is still availabale, so I will call them tomorrow.

Oh , this is good stuff. I'vread on the www.zhome.com that it is feasible. My main concern, is I do not like playing with electric stuff especially for car.. Is it expensive to have it done by a machanic and is it long? What is/are the best brand(s) to put on my 1972 Z???:sleep:

My Z got the Orange 918 color on it. Where can I have this color? Does my Nissan dealer can have this on stock or can it be order there?

Aye Aye sir!

I might want to change the mags on my 240Z for something more handsome. What is the size? Merci?

I may look like an idiot, but why do we have oil in these carbs? And do we need to oil them regularly?

Yes, I will post pics as soon.

Ok, with the warm winter, if everything goes as planned, i should be able to have my car out of the storage and finalize the papers with the seller!!! Only 15 looooooong days again to wait! Can't wait to drive the car for the 1st time.. I'm anxious, cos I need to run a mechanical inspection on the car, but indeed, can,t wait anymore!!!:tapemouth

Engineers usually comes from a planet called I'M AN... If you ask one person who is an engineer, what they do, they'll respond: I'M AN ENGINEER" They do live in their own planet sometimes, but are useful resources for us anyway! Sorry if it does not sounds funny in neglish, we it surely does in french, especially at my office. www.fti-ibis.com

You can check the NADA guide or their website (Hemmings). http://cars.hemmings.com/hemmings/searches/price_checker/nadaguide.cfm It depends also on how bad you want the car.. Mine is pricey, 7000$US, but very straight.. Anyway, since these cars are rare in Canada (especially in Qubec), we have to pay the price for a good one. http://www.hvaa.com/free_used_car_values.htm

Merde ($^!#)... I'm glad you're ok... It's onle a piece of metal, but you,re OK, that ' what counts!:eek:

You might want try this site.. it's a good place to shop Zs. www.collectorcartraderonline.com You can narrow your search by region, Have fun! and ggod luck!

Mike, for the logo, ask my contact I gave you in Montreal... This logo is so sweet, it would be looking great on my Z!!!! And exclusive also!!!

ppp

Keep on the good work!!!

I'm not a guru, but a good exhaust system with headers is said to be good for about 10 hp. If you're not concerned with the smog emissions, you can drop the smog pump that gobs a lot of power for nothing (maybe 5hp max???) (mine is gone on my Z, removed by the previous onwer). Some K'N filter will help the engine to breathe better instead of the OEM air box.. My 0,02$ Canadian!
