I am replacing the stainless steel strip that has the window squeege on it. It slipped on ok untill the last 5 inches towards the front of the door. The last 5 inchs of the strip acts like there is something preventing it from slipping all the way down on the lip. I looked under the strip with a flashlight and can't see anything in the way. The strip went over the barrel shaped roller bracket ok. Its just the last section between the roller bracket and the front of the door that wont slip into place. Thanks Miles

So this past weekend I finally got around to installing the mirrors that I bought for the Z. I must say the install was fairly straight forward and really didn't take more than half an hour. I spent more time taking the old mirror out then putting the two new mirrors on. I must say it is really strange to look over to the passenger's side and see a mirror there now. It helps to see if there's anyone thee but it is still strange. Here are some pics of the mirrors. Jan

Hello. I'm relatively new to this forum and I'm looking for a few parts for my '72 Z; Urethane BRE front spoiler/ spook. With or without vents. Preferrably without, but will consider anything. Not really looking for an air dam to replace the valance and corners. Just the unit that bolts to the valance, etc. Rear lower body panel (weld on) with or without exhaust cutout. Preferably without. Tail light lenses. I don't care too much about the chromed plastic. Just looking for a good, relatively inexpensive set of nice lenses. Euro/ Jpn spec or US/ Aus spec. I don't care. Unvented hood. Minor body damage and tearin/ cracking doesn't bother me, in or near the Denver area. I'm …

Hey guys, Am planning to use Rust bullet on my entire 240z, that would include the interior, exterios, under the hood and under the car, possibly every where will be covered with rust bullet ,primed then top coated, so here is the question, "How many Quarts /or Gallons of Rust Bullet are Needed?" PS: This is one shot order, since I won't be able to order these material again (due to shipping issues) so I do not want to order huge quantity,, just enough to cover my car ! Thanks

I need to do some repair on a 240Z front frame rail (its bent inwards towards the engine) from about the strut tower to just behind the T/C mounting bracket. I can get donor parts from a 280Z 2+2 but I'm uncertain whether these would be interchangable. I don't have my S30 parts CD with me today so if anyone knows the answer, please post it. I suppose that I could always fabricate what I need, but using good donor parts seems the better way to go.

Anyone know of any reputable body or restoration places in the southern california area? My search has been fruitless, half the body places Ive come across have been an absolute JOKE either in workmanship or service. I'm looking to do a full body paint job and restore on my 1972 240z. If anybody could do it or recommend a place that theyve had good experiences with please let me know! thanks

Well I want to make a custom spoiler for my 240Z and so I drew a few sketched. Please provide you opinion as to which spoiler you like best or is the car better off without a spoiler or suggest a new design. The spoiler will be made of fiber glass. I’ll first make a consumable mold out of Styrofoam and then glass over it. NO SPOILER SPOILER 1 SPOILER 2 SPOILER 3 SPOILER 4 SPOILER 5 SPOILER 6 SPOILER 7 SPOILER 8 SPOILER 9

A few pictures to document my exterior refresh. The subject is my '71 240Z, #37705, 905 red. The car currently has just over 64,000 miles on it, and is rust free as it has been garaged its entire life, has seldom seen wet roads, no snow, and no road salt. Here are a couple of before pictures. Bear in mind that the car looks much better in pixels (or from 10 feet or more) than it did in person. It had many small flaws. A couple of scrapes to bare metal, lots of rock chips on the nose, and 37 years of very small door dings. Not to mention that the 905 red has faded so much that it really looks like 110, the later orangy-red.

Does anyone know where i can get crome bumpers for my Z?? I love the look but i really love crome, so the kind of bumpers i want to model mine after are late 60's corvette stingrays. Any help would be awesome since i havent been able to find any yet, mainly just fiberglass airdams n such that dont really give me what i want. Thanks alot guys. Also another quick question. In the morning when i start my car and start driving with the engine cold my stereo speakers make a popping noise then at the higher RPM's totally stop making any noise. But when the engine warms up the stereo works fine, any suggestions.
