Hi everyone.

I am the proud owner of a 1971 240Z that I just moved form suny California to the Northland of Canada. It is in reasonable shape and only minor rust on it. I have a 1973 240Z in the garage right now that I am in the process of parting out/stripping down. The body and frame are rusted out but everything else is there. I also have a 1972 240Z that has been given to me and supposedly has a high performance engine, hiher compression pistons and 280 valves in the head. I have bought a rear disk brake kit off of ebay and will update the progress. I have removed the SU carbs off of the 1973 240Z and am looking for rebuild kits for them. I am putting in a Pertronix ignition and coil. I ordered a new weatherstripping kit. I also want to do the winshield wiper upgrade as well. I guess I should be taking pictures too so I will send those along when I can. Well hello again. Oh I am a Motorcycle Mechanic by trade but have been working on cars and trucks for a very long time.

Welcome to the forum and Welcome to Sunny Alberta! Nice group of cars you have there.

There is quite an active Z cult (I mean enthusiast, oops...) group in Calgary, check out calgaryzclub.ca for details. Lots of support and help. Let us know what we can do for ya!

Dave: welcome, you will find this is by far the best site for help, information, ideas that you will come across. I am restoring a 73, have a rusted out 72 and have stripped two 71's for parts. It looks like we could possibly do some part trading sometime.

Welcome Dave, lots of work to be done and lots of information at our fingertips on this site. Either someone is doing it or has done it. Good luck with the project.

Dave,

Welcome aboard. Another Canuck here, recent relocated from Toronto to just outside Montreal.

The big question...Flames or Oilers?

Hello out there:

I am in the process of building up a '78' 280Z. I have a '82' ZX L54 block which I want to mate to a N47 head. A high boost cam from MSA, 6-1 header, custom exhaust, 4.11 diff, and a '80's five speed. I know where I can get a used set of three Weber carbs, maniford, and linkage for $250.00. I plan on getting a different ignition system, cooling fans, and some mild head work. I know i will need a lot of tech help and advice and I am looking forward to sharing what little I can. I was a full time mechanic in my younger days. I owned a music store in Claremore OK, but I sold it six months ago. I am now getting ready to go into the ministry. The car is a hobby and labor of love. See ya. Jim
