Sorry I never answered your question. Yes, that was the one I was bidding on...I was trying to get it for a little coin and allowed it to go very cheap. The winning bidder got a good deal on this for eBay.

My solution to this is shipping everything either via UPS or FedEx and as soon as the item is shipped email the buyer their tracking number. If they have questions as to where it is check the tracking and/or call the carrier.

Here's the other pic. And oh yes, here's his reply:

This thread has gone astray...I'm not asking how eBay works, I've been a buyer and seller for years and know full well that sniping is the way to go...I do it myself. Nor am I mad or anything over this, that's the way it works and I wasn't willing to go too high on these items. What I was curious is what this guy may be working on. I did shoot him an email and it appears as though he's from Japan since the last part of his email is @nifty.ne.jp and the bidder is not the actual buyer, it's the buyer's friend since the actual buyer does not speek very good English (the bidder's English is tought to follow as well but he's really making the effort). Any how, I have attached the pix of his cars if anyone is interested...what I'd still like to know is why he wants these valve covers? They will not work on the cars pictured.

eBay user ID navyzero Is this person a member on this board? He's bought 3 "Nissan 2400 OHC" valve covers in the last few months off eBay two of which he's out bid me on. I'm just wondering how many cars he's working on and what they look like (not mad about being out bid, dissapointed but not mad...that's just the way eBay works). I looked over the three auctions for these valve covers and he's a sniper! Comes in with less than 10seconds left in the auction and places his winning bid. Damn it! :devious: Oh well, that's life.

If I don't miss my guess this is advertised as for a 240Z when it really is not. Is it? I don't see the spot to mount the 240 front turn signal lights.

I am really interested depending upon the condition and price.

I try not to think of it but you just never know what that other driver on the road will do. Hey! If you don't use the glass fenders I would be interested in them also if in good condition. I supose this makes me #2 in line for them. :classic: If my number comes up please shoot me an email or PM.

I'm really open on the price...make me a reasonable offer and tell me how you plan on getting it (i.e. come pick it up, have it shipped, come pull it yourself, etc) and we can go from there. :classic: Please shoot me an email or PM about this.

I agree!! Please do!

I have a complete L24 in a parts car that's available if you want it...and I'm not too far from you here in central Texas. I am however keeping the intake and carbs but the rest can go.

I do have one that I was going to keep, but would sell for the right price. How much were you wanting to pay for one?

Thank you! It helps a lot when there are only three cars in your class.

I'll gladly zip them up and put the zip file up for download (would be too large for email) so that they can be added to the gallery on this site. I'd just need to know who to send the link to for download.

For those interested I got a few pix from the show yesterday up on my website.

As far as I'm concerned why would you ruin a sports car by putting an auto tranny in it? Just my 2 cents.

Maybe this will help:

I have heard that there are two different ignition locks for the 240Z, one for the series 1 and another for '71-'73. Can anyone confirm or deny this and if this is true can someone explain the difference?

Yes, I figured this out and it made life MUCH easier than having to re-align the hatch. I have not got the inner seal replace and re-attached the hatch. While I was at all this I also replace one of the hatch vents that seemed to be leaking. One small part of the over-all project done! :classic: Thank you all for the help.

Yes, this did cross my mind but it took many hours just to organized this infomation to begin with (I wish I could remember where I got it all so I could thank the person) and I just really don't have the time right now to do the html page. I agree though, it would make the presentation much nicer. If anyone's interested in contributing to this page by writing the html I certainly would not turn away the help but until I have some time to do it the current directory structure will have to do. I am glad to see that there is good info there that others can use, my knowledge is still remedial about these cars but I'm learning more all the time and am very glad to be able to give something back to the Z community in exchange for all the help and questions I've had (and will continue to have). :classic:

I have not had any feedback nor any requests to add anything to my library. I'm just curious if people are finding this page useful, helpful, interesting, or a waste of bandwidth. Please let me know because if nobody wants it I'll save myself the bandwidth and just remove it from my web server.

Oh, you're here too. I posted a reply to this on your thread at hybridz.org

On a wheel that has a +42 offset as I understand it you need a spacer for this wheel to fit on a 240Z. Question is would the spacer need to be a -42? A + offset means the wheel where it attaches to the car is further from the car where as a - offset it is closer. Right?

I have a set of Iron Cross wheels for sale. Here's the thread in the For Sale forum: http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=11001

BUMP Still a available. Can deliver to the Z car show in San Antonio this Saturday, I'll be there any way.
