@Mike , There has been more spam added to the post by the bot.

So I have a couple mystery parts. Not sure if they are Z related or not. Anyone able to identify these? Here's the first: And here's the second. Looks a little like an over-rider bar, but it's not:

Today's event... I put more gas in him than I ever have before. I put five whole gallons in. And nothing seems to be leaking out!!! Proof!

My Dad would be amazed at what you do. Similar in getting things done no matter what. After talking with me he always ended with "no excuses"

Sorry, I no longer have these antennas.

My mechanic replaced a pertronix 1.5 0hms coil and 1.5 resistor coil with an MSD Blaster 2, 3 ohms coil. He got a better spark at idle and car runs much better. The thing is the stock 72 240z tachometer doesnt work any longer. Can someone give us directions on how to connect this correctly so it works as it did?

Wondering where you've installed the obligatory rust on "Lilly" ?? 😉

Good afternoon, I just pulled my 75'Z out of storage for storage, and broke my mast. A quick search brought me to this post. Do you still have a HA-100 ? Please call or contact me, trobco@gmail.com or 5748760881, ty.

@Patcon the exterior will print smooth, it's a graphics display issue and how SolidWorks saves the .stl file. When you slice it for printing the surface is rendered smoothly. Will post a picture of the first sample print when it's done, I'll do a trial piece in laser sintered nylon first. This is a sample off the Prusa 3D printer in SLA, much smoother than the graphic rendering. With laser sintering it uses powder to print the object so the layer lines and polygons are smoothed out. These are for my own use, I have no plans to sell them.

Love it!

Will it actually print polygonally or will the exterior be smooth and consistent? Restated, will the exterior be multifaceted or is that just a graphics display issue?

It wouldn't be a Datsun if it didn't have a little rust!!

Well in the time remaining, I may have to pick and choose what loose ends I leave drag. Hope your Dad would approve!!

My Dad would tell you after all the hard work you've done now it's time to "skin 'er back and let the loose ends drag". His way of saying you're ready for this.🍻

Been playing with metal laser sintered 3D printers lately and wanted to create a stainless 240Z gearknob. Went through a number of iterations and ended up with this design. It's the same size and shape as the original 1970 240Z 4 speed one. Will be running the first metal prints next week, will be interesting to see how it turns out. 3 Z logos are engraved on the main part of the body, the original gearchange pattern is enlarged in size to print more cleanly than the original smaller one.

Sure I'm open to suggestions!! The T/C rod stuff looks fine. They are snug and there is rubber in there. And about the locks... Early car single sided keys, and yes, he doors, hatch, and even the glove box work!

@Mike

I think we always lose control of it. All we can hope for is that science fiction is just that.... fiction. Star Trek ("The Ultimate Computer" for example) Matrix Terminator I Robot Ex Machina

This happens a lot at car shows I attend that are Ford Chevy Dodge shows. A lot of people have a Z story and then I end up with an award. I go to the Z car shows and am poo poo'ed for having a driver. with a little rust. I suppose it is all relative to who ia at what show.

I have a few hoods but it will depend on your definition of nice decent, they will all need a little work. A little South of Olympia.

Anyone have a nice decent Front Hood to fit early 1972 Z? I need one! I live in Seattle & can come to you!

I've already expressed that in posts above.

Welcome! Here, have a photo of Pierre as a tip of the hat. You spoke well of him, as have many others:
