I have a '72 240z and the previous owner upgraded the front sway bar to a 1" Motorsport model. I just replaced the poly bushings with Motorsport poly replacements but have noticed that they keep working their way out of the bushing retention clamps. Has anyone had similar issues or are there replacement clamps for the 1" bars? My car is garaged until I can figure this out so PLEASE HELP!!!! :-)

I used to deal with managing discussion forums and found that as soon as you start requiring people to register and log-on to read forums, two things can happen. First, people who are just looking for quick information will likely go elsewhere because the though of having to fill out a form to find useless information (in general...we have lots of good info here) does not appeal to them. Second, if you do get this group of people to register, you will likely get completely bogus information. Either way, that doesn't really help with getting sponsorship. The way to get people to register is to give them a tease and require registration for more detailed information. You will still get some bogus registration data but those people that really want a good topical forum will usually go through the motions.

Hmmm...I guess I just haven't found the proper angle yet...

Mine is mostly stock. The previous owner did the following mods: - 84.5 mm (83 mm stock) piston and ring set (Nissan Competition). - High volume oil pump (Nissan Competition). - Roadster oil pressure sender (Nissan Competition). - Slalom grind camshaft (Nissan Competition). - Steel seats installed in cylinder head, Head ported and polished. - Variable timing cam gear (Nissan Competition). - European curve distributor (Nissan Competition).

You need a "Still deciding if it looks good" option. I think I like it, but more than the classic versions, I don't know. Would I say that I hate it, absolutely not. Do I think it looks better than the classics, I don't think so...the jury is still out. rg

Greetings all, My name is Richard Gray and I am the proud owner of a '71 240z (silver w/black interior). I am currently unemployed and was in the hi-tech industry before I got tired of companies going out of business under my feet. I call Santa Cruz, CA my home and am happy to see other Z enthusiasts around town. I think I first got interested in Z's when I got to ride in my uncle's 240z back in the early 70's. He had a nice '70 240 that was very close to what I have now. The only difference was he had a front air dam and rear louvres. He used to live in Las Vegas (musician back in the early days of the strip) and told me stories of his 100+ mph travels across the desert. He was most impressed with the air dam at higher speeds keeping the car under better control. Anyway, back in the days when I had extra money, I decided to purchase a new toy and came across a guy in Oregon who had decided to retire. Turns out, he owned a Nissan repair shop...how bad could his car be, right? After several emails, I hopped a plane to Oregon with a cashiers check in my pocket. I am happy to say that I had a REALLY great drive back to Santa Cruz from the Eugene area. The car is almost completely stock. When I have the time, I would like to do a frame up restore. Until that day, I enjoy driving Hwy 17 and the many mountain roads outside of town. Hobbies include disc golf, fly fishing, kayacking, mt biking and driving fast. :-) I am not married (thank god), have a dog, cat, gecko and lots of fish. Happy driving and keep the dirty side down... rg
