I think I will never Z a car urdier than thee... (haiku version) Datsun dat soon go smoke tires, smoke ricers, and so so happiest driver (rhyming) my 280Z had to flee a lot full of Hondos civic cvcc's (satanistic) DATSUUUUUUUUUUUNNNN!!!!! boogooda-boogooda-boogooda-boogooda DATSUUUUUUUUUUUNNNN!!!!! he he hehehe hehehe

Thanks, but I'n not ready to do any wiring stuff for many months. I always do reasearch far ahead of time.

The grinding was when using 14 inch rims. The calipers were a little too big.

I was thinking that they could be used for security or aux lights, or even kid-proofing your car. Hopefully someone willl find the information useful.

I looked through my Mouser book and didn't notice any "covers". But a google turned up this page on aircraft switches: http://www.aircraftspruce.com/ntoc.php?sec=el&cat=switchaccessories The covers are held on by the toggle switch's nut.

I chose to use some kind of toggle switch because the turn signals are just a simple switched electrical circuit and you could probablt hide the switch so it's not onvious you changed it, and the original switch will still work as it did.

Just got a thought-- You could take the charcoal cannister (280Z)( from the front and put it where the vapor tank was. Or... just use the vapor tank in place of the cannister. Do you think the engine would evaporate the gas in the gas tank? Or.... just chuck everything for a check valve letting air into the tank.

I drive right-handed, so I would like the turn signals at the top or about 2:00 position. the safety switch has a red protective box over it and you see them in movies for stuff like bombs and lasers and dangerous stuff.

I bet you could go into a Nissan dealer and ask to see a "bluebird" car. the guy will look at you like you're nuts and tell you there no such car at Nissan. but as we all now know, there IS... Next time I feel like causing trouble I'll go do that instead of ordering Pizza at the Radio Shack.

two questions: 1-- what are those switches called with the flip-up safety cover? 2-- can you buy a paddle switch thing, or a switch with a long (4-5 inch) hanndle? I wopuld like to relocate my turn signal switch. thx

I think the use of the 240SX rear calipers is best because the ZX calipers won't work right with the e-brake cable. Here's a few links on rear calipers for you to browse: http://www.modern-motorsports.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=2&PHPSESSID=a96540e9cb9f037e2f9de119d0d39e02 http://www.zcarcreations.com/howto/rearbrake.htm http://mywebpages.comcast.net/pparaska/280zxreardiscs.htm http://www.fonebooth.com/brakes_zcar.html (front & rear) Hope it helps. With all the differnt options, it gets confusing.

the original post was for a chrome Z emblem, but didn't say it was for a 240. thx.

If I had some Z stuff I wanted to sell, I would probably put it up for sale here first. I bet some guys already know what YOU might have in the back room and are just waiting for you to put it up for sale! BTW, I have a chrome hood emblem you can have, if you want it. I took most of the emblems off already, just keep a couple on to keep the holes plugged! Have a frugal day...

I finally figured out the "B" in "B-210" etc. stands for "Bluebird." I don't know why they would keep the Bluebird name tho.

well, that's what you get when you buy from a dealer that 'specializes in Z cars.":ermm:

I paid half for mine that was in about the same good condition and less miles.

Good thing that lady doesn't have an N.A.D.A bluebook. The value of your car is around $5000.

We have those rally races here in the U.S! We just call them 'Beer run' or 'scavenging hunt.'

Same thing with the european touring car races. Those are regular cars( fixed up some) that they race. I've never seen any sponsor sticker- just car number.

After the recent discussion on vehicle 'originality' and watching the "Car Search" prgram and B-J auctions, I started to wonder if Zeds had all the tags, stickers and numbers that all those big-dollar collector cars had(like muscle cars, vintage, sports cars). I have all the documentation I got on my car, S/N 434056 and maybe it'll help with future value. Having all the number "match" might avoid some arguments. Can you get a build sheet for your Zed?

In OHIO, you're more likely to find a 350Z in the JY, or a 300ZX. Otherwise, if you call around, they'll tell you "We ain't got no OLD cars- you gotta go to Arizona for them." Not popular enough to keep around. That or there's just a pile of RUST where the car used to be But I'll bet you the rubber stuff isn't too bad. I should call around to see what is out there locally. Maybe I can get some decent wiring off of one.

OK, I know all of those tags & stickers so far- they are the usual ones. I was wondering if there are any I don't know of, or any secret ones. thx

Don't forget the Paint code. Engine numbers?? trans? etc?
