Looking for new or very nice 240Z winshield
Talk to Chet Wittel, GA Z club? He probably has one in Marietta.

Found old Z pictures. I’ll start!
This is where I get accosted by 60+ year old folks at a gas station or in traffic who say "I used to have one of those" or "My friends Dad drove one". Great to see a gathering of S30s like that.

Possible trip to Japan (Tokyo) - Suggestions?
I'm not sure what it takes to get in but the Heritage museum would be fantastic. Tokyo tower, touristy things around Roppongi, Shibuya, Shinjuku. Nissans HQ is downtown too. Two days in Kyoto to see temples would be a recommendation, maybe a day in Nikko.

I saw two orange 240s that were built that same month at ZCON. Gentleman from SC owned both of them and was selling them.

The last word in Datsun
I'm glad someone is taking a Singer-esque approach to 240Zs, whether anyone approves of their touches or not. The cars look fantastic, I'm hoping some of what they produce for their cars will end up in the aftermarket for the rest of us.

Mikunis, but want a daily/recreational driver
The key I remembered in my research about getting a set of Mikunis or any triples is they need to be tuned by someone who knows what they are doing. Have the valves adjusted, make sure the timing is good and, if at all possible, tune them on a dyno. I found someone who did all of that and my Mikunis run like champs. A well tuned set of SUs will perform great on the street and will do 90% of what a set of triples will do performance wise, it's that last 10% when you're really laying in to the throttle that triples perform. On the other hand, you could probably sell the triples and buy a set of ZTherapy SUs which would be easier to tune and give great daily driving/autocross performance. Make sure you get a good heat shield for either setup, my SUs vapor locked more easily than the triples do but it was always something I was paying attention to, especially in the summer.

JDM 2+2 grill?
Picked this up from a friend as a replacement for one i lost in an accident. Am trying to figure out where the 2/2 came from, I thought North American 2+2s had the same grill as the coupes. Am curious if someone just added it to this grill. Any help would be appreciated.

113 Green
Dupont, PPG, whomever, your local auto body paint supplier should be able to dig up the formula if you give them the year and paint code.

Triple M´s?
I got mine from Wolf Creek racing, very helpful, paid around $2.3K a couple of years ago for a set of 44s.

Long time 240 owner, forum newbie wondering about a triple carb setup.
Whatever you go with find someone who knows how to tune them. Best money I spent wasn't on the carbs it was on having someone who knows what they're doing tune them on a dyno.

Any good repair shops?
Bound to be someone around Dallas, they have two Z clubs in the metroplex last time I checked, Texas Z club and Cowtown Z club.

Let's show vintage racing pictures. I'll start.
Unnerving to see what the top of Bob Sharp's Z looked like after that accident, presumably with a rollcage, did the car get rebuilt?

Selling my beloved Z. Where to start?
FWIW see if you can't get it on Bring a Trailer to increase visibility.

Of the different fascias I've seen between Zs and Celicas this is the one I prefer, thanks for the image Alan.

I would love to build a tribute car modeled after this one. Will have to research the details but I really like how simple everything is, will have to work on my fiberglass skills to build that grille fascia.

Homebuilt by Jeff just got a '71 240Z!
Jeff is in Australia, did a youtube series on a 911 he is wrapping up, really insightful videos. Better news is he just picked up a 240Z and is contemplating a rotisserie rebuild, should be some well thought through quality DIY videos as he gets going. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvHckyZrWWE
