How much is this 240z worth?
Expect to spend a lot on the body and paint work. If the floor is rusted out, then other areas are likely rusted out as well (some you may not see). Spending $10,000 on body and paint is not uncommon. Then there are the seats, carpet, weatherstripping, engine, suspension..... It's worth it, but just be prepared.

Deck lid emblem Question
I believe the 432 rear spoiler sold by Les Cannaday has the flat spot on the drivers side where the emblems belong.

New plastic panel fitment
I didn't realize they had any blue on blue in '71. I would have guessed a white interior.

240z Choke Cable Sticking
The 70-71 cables were different from the 72-73 cables in the console area. The early Z choke lever assemblies were beefy and reliable. The later Z had to move the levers to the side due to a transmission change. These assemblies tended to put too much pressure on the plastic console eventually cracking them. No, you cannot buy any old Z choke cable assembly. As someone stated people came up with ways to beef up the later Z console mounting location. When I purchased my replacement at the dealer (long ago) it included the throttle lever cable assembly used in the 70 240Z, and later blanked off for the 71 model. This is the way they sold it, and might be the same today, don't know.

Eibach + KYB GR-2 = trouble?
Actually we had stock springs made and sold by Courtesy Nissan a few years back and made it known on this site. I believe they were all sold. We also had Euro Stage I springs made, you might ask around about those. They are suppose to be 15% stiffer than stock and maybe 1/2" lower.

New Z's show no love
I remember when the 300ZX owners were a bit like that. That was one of the reasons for this website. Things have changed, but there were times.

Ztherapy excitement
I've heard that ZT has some kind of performance enhancement that they can do on your SU's for extra $$. Does anyone know about this, or has had it done? Interested in understanding the difference between that and a normal overhaul.

Oil getting dirty quick
Oil color has absolutely nothing to do with its quality. As AR280 said, you can have a sample tested, but if the engine is new with good compression, I doubt it anything.
