No Discount at Courtesy Nissan
I tried to ask for the "240Z-club discount" when ordering from Courtesy Nissan, and the guy told me there's no discounts- everything is already priced for online buyers. OTC buyers pay 15% more. So don't bother asking for a club discount.

swapping trans gears in auto trans
It's Hydraulic and would require mods to the car to fit.

swapping trans gears in auto trans
referring to the 3N71B transmission, would it be possible to change the gearing for 3rd gear to something like .75, which would be the overdrive from the 4N71B? thx

Stock or Racing Seats
If you are used to the old-style seats, you remember what SEAT BELTS are really for. To hold you from sliding off the seat! I got used to using them so I still use them. So, can we get somebody to volunteer to put together a list of seats that will fit a Z, with the different levels of mods?

Stock or Racing Seats
I'm with Vicky, if you wanteds to keep the stock look, then while you're spending money, just have the stock seats bolstered with some extra foam.

Storing Z
Tires: smear lightly with lanolin so they don't dry out, then store in a trash bag. Battery: The cold won't hurt, but HEAT will. Storing on the concrete is OK, but if the acid leaks ( non-sealed batteries) you get pitting. That's why you don't store on the concrete!

I use coffee filters for that stuff. I filter gasoline with them too. You should see what's in your gas.

Z car Insurance Deal
Is that only for show cars? My plan is to do some mechanical restoration (obviously), the GTO body kit, and maybe in the end, engine rebuild with trans swap. Also, I would upgrade the interior with period-correct materials & looks for a late 60's enzo. Just got the liability for now, so i can drive from service station to body shop thx

Tension Rod question
I guess some people have all the bad luck, huh?
-
Tension Rod question
That's how I see it. the PU bushing is so firm, it would be like a solid metal block, so the tension rod HAS TO BEND with the up/down of the wheel. The flexing stresses the weakest part, the stepped/threaded end,and after so many flexes, it breaks. So you put in the softer rubber bushes to absorb & allow the flexes. Just remember to buy extra sets, so you can replace them after so many years, in case they will be NLA...:disappoin

Z car Insurance Deal
the same people have lots of money to afford reinforced ( as in bricks & lumber), enclosed storage. What's so bad about a steel building, steel garage or modern "pole barn"?

Z car Insurance Deal
Is there an advantage to having your Zed as a second car on your primary insurance (for the daily driver)? I know I got a discount because I use the same ins. provider as my mom & dad's vehicles (multicar discount).

Z car Insurance Deal
My problem is that I don't have a garage for storage, so mine sits in the driveway in front of the house. Usually with the cover on.
