    Did US cars come with fog light option? On my 71 I notice the hole above the flasher for it and by the horn wires the red and black wires look factory tapped still. I checked the owners manual and there is no mention of fog lights. I'm assuming I can source a fog light switch and the wiring provisions are in place?
  2. Yep thanks. Temp gauge is working fine. I was trying to remember what the black wire was for.
  3. Found a pic accidentally browsing another thread.
  4. Pertty!!!
  5. If you're not sure which ratio R200 you have lying around the garage, check it this way: Remove the rear plate (drain the oil of course). Then rotate the large ring gear until you see these numbers stamped into the edge facing you. If it's a 3.54 it will read "39:11" If it's a 3.70 it will read "37:10" If it's a 3.90 it will read "39:10" If it's a 4.11 it will read "37:9"

    The other thing I noticed is if you take the fuse out, wipe each end with steal wool, lightly crimp each end of the fuse terminals and reinstall the fuse. This solved two of my issues. I'm running the old style fuses. I was scratching my head for hours trying to figure out what the heck was going on.
  7. In the yellow and black wire loom going to the temp sensor, my black wire is not hooked up. I thought it went to the distributor. (Spade connector for the old points?). I'm running some electronic distributor of some sort. I checked the wiring and engine diagram but didn't see it marked anywhere. Just curious. Car runs fine. On a side note, over the holidays I got the: - Tach to work - Brake lights and directionals going - Cigarette lighter working - Found out what's wrong with my headlight switch - New Brake booster installed (Warning Don't lose the clip on the large pin for the pedal. Luckily I found it. Seems the 73-83 pin is the same and available, but not the 70-71. - Visors and Rear view mirror installed.
  8. Nice. Does he paint cars too? At a shop or he owns the shop?

  13. Oh man. So how man runs do you make going up the mountain by Ft. Loudon. So many great roads up there to drives Z! My wife is from the area.
  14. You need inside door handles? What's wrong with your tail lights? welcome to the fun!!
  15. I agree with you. Reposting to the highest bidder is unethical. Stand by your post.
  16. I'm not sure why my wants are being questioned. No holes, no cracks and good bolts. If I wanted to fix something, I would fix mine.
  17. Thank you. I was hoping for no additional body work (holes). Mine has a small chunk missing buy the headlight that I could fix, I was just hoping for bolt on and go.
  18. Can you post a link or PM me the ebay link? There was one on ebay I saw that looked like it was missing a chunk out of the front.
  19. Must have good bolts. Let me know.

    Since yours is a 1 owner car with no rust you should have no problem in my opinion getting close to 12-15k. I drove from Orlando to Augusta to look at a 1 owner 73 that petty good amount of rust' hadn't ran in 5 years, was in a horrible spot with flat tires. She would have let me have it for $3500. I passed but helped her get $5500 for the car with just a craigslist ad. The only thing that hurts you car is it is 260z. Even though they are more rare it's odd to me they don't bring as much money. It is a thin bumper though which makes it more like the 240z and I'm pretty sure from a chassis perspective they are the same as the 73. In 74.5 they switched to the thick bumper and carried those into the 280z. I can tell you for sure values are going up in Z cars, even 280zx models. You will regret selling it and will likely never find one as clean as yours is. If it were me, I would keep it unless your hurting for money. At 13 I was passed over for my dads 73 one owner Z. I've tried like heck to find a white Z with a red interior and they are next to impossible to find.
