Anyone know the weight of a dished mag (the ones in my avitar, or on my car in my gallery)? All the ones in my garage have tires mounted on them.

I have just finished sorting through a TON of Z stuff I got from a member on one of the forums I'm a member of and have decided that there's so much good stuff there I'd share it with this Z community. What's there you as? There are tons of pix, some video clips, and lots of info in the form of copied webpages scans of manuals and scans of Z car ads from days gone by. There's just SO much there you'll :surprised If you have something you'd like to contribute please email or PM me; or you can reply to this thread. I'm not going to start hosting everyone's pix or video clips but if you have something of interest I'll gladly add it to my library thus making it available to all. It's not a pretty page, just a directory listing of what I have. Here's the link to My Z Archive/Library Please feel free to copy/download anything you want. I do not claim credit for anything I have acquired nor do I claim to have verified it's accuracy. ENJOY!!!

Ok, I pulled the hatch and did the otter hatch seal. MUCH easier with the hatch off!! My question now is that while I am at this I decided to pull the inner hatch seal also and replace it. The problem is that the inner seal was glued on and much of it did not peal off so now I'm faced with trying to find a way to remove the remaining pieces. Does anyone have any tips or tricks for this? I really MUST have this completed today so that it can dry overnight and I can reassemble the hatch tomorrow.

From what everyone here said when I was doing mine Spicer are the way to go...so I did. I only did mine a couple months ago so I can't tell you from personal experience. I'm sure many others here can though.

I have just finished sorting through a TON of Z stuff I got from someone on one of the boards I'm a member of and there is some Scarab info in there including some pix. Please feel free to look around at it and download what you want, here's the link (just scroll down to the Scarab directory): http://www.pape.ws/allan_and_rosanne/Z-Car_Stuff/ This is not a pretty page, it's just a directory listing but there's a lot of good info, pix, and videos there.

Order them from MSA, you can get a 'stock' replacement for cheap or the race quality ones made by Spicer for a bit more.

I have already look over this auction...and I swear I saw the same thing!! I'm glad I'm not imagining things! Guess I'll have to have another pass at this one.

Man that's a real drag, I was all excited about the seat and everything. Tell Cindy she has made a grown man cry (possibly not the first time nor the last she will either, ). Please do let me know if the deal falls through, I have PayPal and I'm not affraid to use it! :bandit:

Two of you trying to sell the same seat? That makes for confusion and problems. I'm assuming you mean the other person discussing it with another buyer since you and I had talked about it in this thread. You've not paid for it? I should be the one paying you. I'm not really searching for anything specific today but always on the look out for things I will need at a good price. Friends...sure...I'm just a bit confused as to what happened here still.

You mean spoken for by me right? I've been waiting on a shipping price for a few days now...since hours after you posted it for sale actually.

You're crackin' me up!!!!!!! ROFL ROFL

With new tires? Yes! That's a very fair price. I have seen the slot mags sell for $100 w/o tires and inexpensive tires would run you about $45/each.

I also forgot to ask if you remove the hatch from the hinges or the hinges from the chassis?

Ok, so removing the hatch is easy enough. How hard is it to put back on? I'm thinking of the re-alignment mainly. Is there an easy way to go about this or not really?

Ok, I hate to post this because everyone will laugh and think I'm stupid (and believe me I feel like it) but I also want to try and help anyone else down the road. I pulled the starter the other night and took it to be tested...it was good. I watched them hook it up and there were three wires, the + and - battery and another small one that went on a quick connector. We talked about what else the problem may be and they said it may be the ignition switch (not what the key goes into but there's a switch behind it on the steering column). I came home and put the starter back in and realized that as I reconnected the wires I didn't remember removing the small one that goes on the quick connector. After I had it in I decided to try to start it again...wouldn't you know it, the damn thing started! What was wrong you ask? I had the + and- wires but somehow the quick connect wire must have been pulled off (it was VERY loose when I put it back on so I fixed that). Problem solved!! Now you can see why I feel so stupid. :stupid: :stupid: :stupid: I hope this helps someone else down the road someday.

Here's some really nice looking wheels made by OZ. I'd love a pair of these! http://www.zdriver.com/showthread.php?t=8670

I was looking at this last night and realized that I may have to remove the hatch from the hinges to get it installed properly. Is this correct!? I'd rather not have to unless it is necessary to do the job right. Has anyone done this without removing the hatch? If so do you have any tips/tricks to getting the seal behind the hinge and seated properly? As a side note question, am I correct in assuming that I must install the seal using that tube of sealant/adhesive that came with my rubber seal kit?

Ahh good there are slider adapters for the seat to fit the 240Z! Please get back to me on the shipping price once you have it.

Oh wait! This will not just mount up to the stock seat mounting points? You must modify the car to install this seat?

How much is shipping to Texas, 78613? Is the seat a fixed position or adjustable (recline)? If the shipping is reasonable I'll take it. Does this come ready to mount in my Z (i.e. any/all mounting hardware, rails, sliders, etc)?

These are off a 280Z, one of the stock wheels for the car (or very popular dealer option). Size is 14x6, I do not know the offset but I'm sure there are many poeple on this forum who do.

There are still some good parts left! Tell me what you want/need and your price. EDIT: These items are gone already: tail lights and surrounding trim fuel tank hood support front wire harness master cylindar muffler door sill scuff plates center console heater control panel diamond vinyl trim

Ok, I keep tripping over these damn things in my garage! Someone please make a realistic offer!

You wouldn't happen to have the matching driver's seat available do you?

That would be FANTASTIC!! What a great idea! I'm looking forward to seeing this as I'm sure many others are.
