What, no bids!?!? The hell you say! I can't believe that nobody jumped on that awsome Buy It Now price, what a deal it would have been!!!!!!!!!!!1 .

You are right about the later model ones being easier to find! The only difference that I know of is some of the wires on the later ones are longer than on the early ones. May be other differences that I'm unaware of and I'm certain that if that's the case someone else here will chime in.

Hmmm...I thought I was first...darn it, 71DatsunZ must have emailed/PM'd you before I posted to the thread. I'll be waiting to hear if he backs out or not.

Carfax will not work for anything not having a 17 digit VIN, period, no exceptions. Even then if you have an older car with a 17 digit VIN you probably still will not find records since they are a relatively new company and those kinds of records have not been around for too long (when considering how long we have had cars on the market).

I'll do that. Am I #1 on the list?

I agree, you beat me to stating this.

Yes, as stated I doubt that it's a 240Z based upon the tail lights alone. I did ask the seller for the VIN and will post here if I get a reply. Even has the ol' Pantera hatch conversion! Tis true, this has been up on eBay a few times before and NEVER sells for some strange reason!

How much would you want for the battery tray area?

There will likely be some new ideas posted here...you still should search on this question though, it was discussed at length about a year or so ago. TONS of ideas in there!!

Yes, I second that!! Thank you!!

I greatly respect your opinion as I know what you have been able to do with your Z car. Would you mind taking a look at the first page of that pdf and tell me what you think about what Todd has done to set up my carbs? I know that he is very knowledgable in this area also and would just like to see how what he has done compares with what you have done.

Ok, I got mine copied and in a pdf file. I posted this in the articles forum for all to have access to. Here's the link to it: http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?p=150299#post150299 I'll also place it on my website tonight.

Here's the Mikuni PHH Manual for anyone who needs it. Mikuni PHH Manual.pdf

Welcome!! Please take a minute to update your profile so that we all know where you are located. That often helps when looking for parts, a car, or a shop to perform work for you. Also take advantage of the search feature on this site. I started here about 2.5 years ago and have found this to be THE best Z car site on the web!! More smart, knowledgable, helpful people here and a TON of information! Yes, I do still frequent the other Z sites and this one is still my favorite.

I would just take it to a shop (maybe even a parts store) to be tested...most will do it for free.

I can probably dig mine up and copy it for you. Likely will not be until next week though (have to find it over the weekend then copy/scan it next week at work).

Since you guys are talking old Datsun trucks have a look at this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/1963-DATSUN-60-PICK-UP-1200CC-4SPD-NICE-RARE-NOT-240Z_W0QQitemZ4584885506QQcategoryZ39405QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

They had these here in the US also, a friend of mine had a nice '70s green one.

There's a guy in your neck of the woods who deals in Z parts, I do not remember his name, the company name, the phone number, nor an email. I'm sorry about that but I bet if you continue your search you will turn him up.

Check out these guys: http://www.showcars-bodyparts.com/240z.html http://www.kitcarz.com/ http://www.gtorr.com/

I'm very interested to see what this developes in to! I like the idea of one file and being able to do more calculations. I also like the idea of part numbers and prices...however prices change often enough that maintaining this would be a headache.

I do not belive that it's a problem with Michael's site, I just accessed it with no problems. Michael, do you have a static IP address or dynamic? montoya, have you ever been able to access it and your access is just irratic?

Got more details on the car (pix, VIN, condition other than rusty, details about the rust, etc)?

Call Jerry over at All Z Car Specialist, he will have a hood and fender for you. Just look him up in the Ft. Worth Yellow Pages.

Please do a quick search...this has been discussed in GREAT depth a couple times and there is already a lot of good information on the subject. Makes for interesting reading.
