Hello all I keep running into rolling chassis with no vin plates on them. Im wondering if theres a location on the chassis for me to get the number from? Registration fees in California are crazy for cars that haven't been registered for a few years, and i cant check the vin on a chassis to see what the fees are. Thanks for all the help you guys on here have given me so far.

Finally got to drive my 280 around for the first time since painting it. Wow almost forgot how fun it is. Any My girlfriend convinced me to head up to the pick and pull in Lynnwood. We found one 71 240 and a 77 280 and scored most of the parts to finish off the interior of my 78. Also grabbed one door handle from the 240 (should have snagged both) the 240 still had some good parts including a red interior. Both have good hatches.

Hi, I'm shopping around for my first Z car and will be checking out a few this weekend. What are things I should be looking out for? Are there certain areas that are common rust areas? Any danger signs or red flags? Thanks!

Just wanted to know if anyone uses parts off a nissan 350z, other than the R200 rear end swap, are the disk/calipers easily mountable? or what other vehicles can you use parts off of like Brakes and or struts even...? To put onto a 78 280z with a 305. Thought i would throw out an idea and see what might come back

Hello All, I am getting ready to install all the marker lights back in the car and everything is going well. The question I have is that the rubber seals are in great shape after bead blasting, nice, smooth, pliable and clean but the color is still not back to the original black like new rubber. Does anybody know of a way to restore the shiny new color that they had new? I hate to install them like they are after polishing all the lenses, stainless trim and screws. Any help is appreciated. Jeff

So after about 6 hours of my time to properly install new door weatherstrip sourced from Black Dragon, I just wasn't happy. Doors too tight, fit not perfect, etc. Doors always shut perfectly, no sag ever. Let them break in for the last two months while winter is upon us, no help. Said to hell with it, spent the $160 and ordered a pair from Vintage Rubber. They come with new welting material attached, and took less than one hour to remove the 'old' and install these. Perfect fit. I mean perfect. No glue whatsoever. Doors are mildly snug, will adjust jams accordingly. Just wanted to share as I have purchased my fair share of junk repro parts during this resto, and…

Today at the salvage yard i found 2 Original Fairlady Z Carb repair kits. How common are these? Are they worth anything? http://i1135.photobucket.com/albums/m625/LS1datsun/DSCF3402.jpg

Hi Guys. I'm not sure if I'm posting in the right spot. If not, please excuse my being a knucklehead noob. I have a pair of Euro/JDM tail lights that I want to post to the classified section, but I can't figure out how to do it. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers, Scott

Hi All, It's been a while since I've have posted here, but I’m planning on selling my 240z which has an interesting yet odd history and thought I would discuss it before posting it up in the classifieds. I have a 1972 240z white on black, 4spd which I have concluded that has 10K original miles I would like to part with. The catch is it has a salvage title and was involved in an accident back in the early 70's when the car was new. I bought it from an elderly woman who had advertized it on craigslist in Arizona mentioning that it had 10K miles. After phone conversations and some basic not so good pics I planned the trip to check it out. The car was in a shed in the ba…
