Advice on this 1980 on CL
Did you see that '81 turbo for $2,500? Montgomery/Houston area CL. That would be a fun car. WOW, prices have gone through the roof on Zs lately. Didn't realize how much they are asking for basic 280. I bought my '77 for $1,200 in 2011 and spent another $1,000 on it. Looks like now I would ask $12,000 to $15,000 for it. Stocks and bonds, meh, not me.

Dash Preservation
I used this on my console's hairline cracks, worked great. I think it was about $4 at Lowes?

You think that's honestly what happened or she let her precursor get too hot?

Timely post Dennis with Florence coming ashore. I'll take my dynamite out of the junk drawer and put it in the cabinet above the stove.

Uh oh, you've crossed the line now! Please don't buy a heavy nosed Z. They suck.- Advice on this 1980 on CL
I noticed too. The pilots I know are meticulous as hell. Beer edit: Mike those could be a strategically placed selling tool. He's removed everything else. Smart guy in my opinion.- Advice on this 1980 on CL

Will be at zcon this year Zeddy? With all your toes? Transmission vs. Toes, transmission wins everytime for me.- Advice on this 1980 on CL
If it's not to far I'd go drive it pretty hard for awhile looking for fuel problems, that's a good lower price. He shows no engine bay shots thought. Could be a color change with that kit? Should have power steering and windows. Not positive on that though read the Wikipedia page it may show? Cheap Z if it runs out good.- New and looking for my first Z
Good example...- R.I.P Burt Reynolds
That'd be the only way I get in!- Manifold gasket?
Try zcardepot.com he's probably got a Nissan. I bought one for my 240 from the local dealership. Metal on the exhaust side. Not positive if they have the EFI gasket? Seems like @gwri8 bought a Nissan for his '77.- Georgia rusting place ?
Collection? That's an old junkyard. I've got the same thing 15 minutes from here. $500 will buy any of the cars.- Birthday

What's considered an early car, where's the line? Manufactured in '69 or double digits, triple digits? Just curious. Thanks- Replacement Headlight wiring with relays
Mr Irwin makes them for other vendors but you can buy straight from him. Great customer service too. https://www.datsun-240z-upgrades.net/- Lightweight Flywheels
I got lucky and bought a 240 project car with a Tilton flywheel. 10#s I think. On my 2.4 it's a fantastic add on or off?. They are different for sure but once I get out of my driveway then neighborhood it's fun arse hell. It spins up like a motorcycle and I quit riding bikes when I found the Zs again. In my opinion a lightened OE would be nice but if you can't do that aluminum. Of all the things I've done and spent lots of money on the light flywheel is the best bang for the buck. I run the basic Exedy 6009 too, thanks to @LeonV. It works great with my set up. You'll shift a lot but with a nice exhaust sound it's great. EDIT: My Z is driven for fun on the weekends. If it's your main car in heavy traffic I'd send it off and get it to 15lbs. or more/less. They'll be more recommendations I'm sure, my expirences only.- Another Elephant reference I had never noticed
Hooverd off the web. They Elephant Oil were a big sponsor (like what Z Car Barbie posted) of the Datsuns in the rally series back in the day and the official reccommended lubricant for the car, although every(?) manual seen for US market cars listed Castrol for all three oils.- Jacks or better
Too late but they have low profile jacks that would work. At least you get to spend more time jackin' it.- 50th Anniversary 300ZX For Sale
That's a really nice Z! Good luck with the sale.- Pulling the rear drum brakes off my 1977 280Z
I changed mine a couple of months ago and loosened the two bolts before the hardline, mistake. Loosen the brake line first. It's easy, 15 minutes per side?? Good luck. - Advice on this 1980 on CL
