Apparently Dana Britton, the owner, claims on his website that you'll have your carbs back in about 10 days. If you haven't heard from him (you say 8 weeks) sounds like a serious problem. Do you have more details to share? Did you already pay for the carbs? Were you having your original SU's rebuilt? Who exactly did you speak to or email? Please PM me as well if I can help.

I think there is something wrong with the video or link.

All shocks are gas/oleo. Few shocks are made without a gas charge (e.g., nitrogen). When the 240Z was new they didn't use gas charged oleo shocks (the void area was just air), so the ride height is a bit lower than if you use gas charged oleo shocks with the same springs (e.g., stock springs). There are both low pressure and high pressure gas charges depending the shock you buy.

Welcome to the party, Scarlette! I've heard the stories of regret for selling a Z many times. But now you're back. Hope you enjoy your new ride.

Welcome to Classic Z Cars, Courtney. I think you'll find we're a fun group, and serious about our Zs. Enjoy!

Ball and socket compression rods; he would feel every jolt. Don't put poly anywhere in your drive train, only in the suspension. Eibach are progressives right? You can't cut them without messing things up I believe. Too bad stock springs don't exist anymore. We had some made many years ago and sold by Courtesy, but I think they are gone.

I wonder if I can give the owner infraction points.

You have no excuse, hang your head!

I have these very seat covers/foam inserts in my car.

Just buy that station wagon they had a ZCon.

My body shop screwed up my choke knob that was in perfect condition, and expoxed it back on. I did not know until working on the interior and needed to take the console out. Needless to say I was HIGHLY pissed. I found a "new" knob not in the same condition as the throttle knob (long story). So I cannot get the screw in because the threads in the screw are slightly messed up.

I like it when Blue concurs. He's tired of the same old Nissan tired styling. It needs to end with the 370Z, and in the words of Carl Beck when the Z32 concept came out........"It's an ugly toad". It's time for retro, and back to basics with a twist. The 240Z was not style like other Datsuns, and so the new Z should not be style like other Nissans.

Matsuo mentioned this at the 2013 convention.

Nissan has gone full retard and shamed the name of Mr K again. Dumb jackasses should all be fired, fired I tell you!! The new Z should be a 2600 lbs advanced composite body 240Z with a 2.4 liter supercharged direct injection engine putting out 250+ hp. Almost no frills version. Lightweight like Lotus, with much more powerful engine. Furthermore it needs to look like a 240Z except with modern line, not that bull**** look they've been putting out.

No factory air existed prior to the 260Z as far as I know.

Les doesn't always respond or answer immediately. He's a great guy though, knows his ****! I've purchased a lot of stuff from him.

And here I thought someone was trying something new.

Why bother greasing the rear bearings when they last so long? Unless it's a daily driver they'll last over 40 years like mine.

Thomas, your link is broken. What are you trying to show us here?

Tomorrow is Enrique Scanlon's birthday.

We might need to consider copyright on this. Better check the book for copyright markings.

Too much.

I think this is the one I have in storage, but it's missing at least the lower attachement hardware.

I didn't think anyone still installed the twice-pipes exhaust system.
