Need a stock front valance
If I had to choose again, I might go with the version without front brake cooling inlets.

BRE spoilers if you want to maintain stock valance.

‘73 240Z Trans Tunnel Discrepancy
Stock shifter will not work as-is with a 5 speed without interference. Most modified the shifter.

Door Internals Window Mechanisms Regulators, Etc
It's a difficult job, so replace all the consumables (eg, rubber, rollers, etc) while you're in there. Grease what needs after cleaning all parts thoroughly.

Windshield Sprayer Nozzle
You know what we really need? New sprayer nozzles. Mine are mostly shot, and I hate them. Too bad there isn't a better nozzle out there.

I'm pretty certain they should be body color.

Door Upper Rubber Seal
Does fit in a channel or use adhesive?

3M emblem adhesive or double sided tape
My car has no adhesive whatsoever. The OEM hardware works just fine.

240Z Quarter Glass Observation
I just checked, so are mine. But the glasses are left and right since they have curvature. So they just printed all on the same side.

240Z Quarter Glass Observation
Seems unlikely since the glass is curved.

Door handle installation 72Z
Window and door mechanisms are no fun. I had to gut the door to get a new latch mechanism installed. You might as well overhaul the door.

Hagerty Drivers Club
Okay I have a gripe, and very big gripe. Hagerty Drivers Club puts out a magazine. Well for years they've been Japanese autophobic except on very rare occasions. They have all the American and European car makers represented huge throughout their magazine, but Japanese automakers are conspicuously left out at least 99% of the time. I have written them several times with no success. I got a response about 20 years ago that they would attempt to do better. Fat chance! What can be done about it, because I know many Z owners send them business through their classic car and HPDE insurance..........me for one. But that may change. Thoughts? The latest edition has one Japanese car the KIA Niro EV...............stuck way in the back! 🤬

windshield washer sprayer /nozzle

Quarter window front seals
I don't know the answer to this, but the 240Z quarter glass frame does not have threaded holes to attach the rubber strip.

Scammers
I haven't been super active in the forums, but I attend to the reported posts when I get a notice. We're pretty open here, so not sure yet how to filter spam. Maybe have to approve posts or something for a while, but that's more work for management. We'll see.
