You should post this in the Classified section, you may get more action on it there.

Welcome to the best early Z car site on the web. There is a TON of great info here and many wonderful members who are always willing to lend some advice.

Welcome, make yourself at home. Nice looking series I you have there...I'm looking forward to when mine looks that pretty and shiney!

I have reported a few lately too. People just are not paying attention it seems. Some of the ones I reported were from newbies...1, 2, 4, 8 posts showing in their profile...so these people just don't know yet and didn't read before posting.

Kinda of a trick question as the lines are quite blurry at times when you are talking about what part came stock on what car with the Z. In short here's what I know: "NISSAN 2400 OHC" came on '69-very early '71 "NISSAN OHC" from '71 to '83 (non-turbo cars) "TURBO" on the '81 - '83 turbo 280ZX "NISSAN" is a JDM item and I do not know the years "BOB SHARP" is a custom item for the Bob Sharp race team "" I have no idea about these

Just remember that everyone is entitled to their own opinion and everyone's is different...that's why there are so many different air dams out there as well as things like wheels. Just think, if everyone like the same thing then there would only be one style of wheel made worldwide...now how boring would that be!? My opinion, I do like the way it looks in the lower portion, the signals look like crap though. And even though I like part of it, I still would not put it on my car as it's not the look I'm going for.

Thank you for posting the link, I was just about to until I saw your post. By the way, that is my site and if you would like for me to add any info or credits please let me know.

Shipping to AR will not be cheap either...

I'm curious what you are asking for such a set up?

This seems to happen to the two of us rather frequently. Great minds....

That is correct! The ONLY difference is the lettering on the top. There are 5 that I have seen and are as follows: "NISSAN OHC" "NISSAN 2400 OHC" "NISSAN 2000 OHC" "NISSAN" "TURBO" "BOB SHARP" "" <---------this one is blank on top, I believe this to be a modification (i.e. ground off letters) Furthermore, if you have the 2400 or NISSAN styles and wish to sell them to me for a fair price I'm always on the lookout for one of these.

ROFL That's funny!! The perfect quote! ROFL

Welcome to the club first off, this is by far the best Z site on the web!! I agree with Arne, please search as this topic has been covered many many times and there's a TON of good detailed information on it available already. Next, please post in the correct forums, this one is not for questions it is for articles which have been written describing how to do something. There are many forums on this site so please take a moment to review them and the information in them (ok, this may take FAR more than a moment depending upon how many threads you choose to read...when I joined a few years back it took me days to review all the archives). Posting in the correct forum will gain you more replies and better ones at that.

Carl, good to see you again...please stick around I have missed your posts. Zmefly, f*** off!!! Do not come back to this or any other site as it's clear that you are just out to take advantage of people and screw them. You should be spending time in jail with a large guy who makes you his bitch then see how you like being screwed.

Ditto the above info. Do NOT uese the bracket that you are talking about for towing, it WILL come right off as this is not what it's designed for nor is it strong enough for the task. Had you only realized that you needed this a few months ago when I still had my two parts cars I probably could have supplied you with one. Best bet is to hit the junk yards or contact someone with a parts car and get it that way. Just weld it back on, there's no concern about strength since it's only a support bracket for the front grill and lower valance.

Here's something else for you to read (just to add to your research): http://geocities.com/zgarage2001/z.html

Oh please tell me he has a website with info and pix!!!!

Here's the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Datsun-240Z-1973-12-second-street-car_W0QQitemZ4615464886QQcategoryZ6187QQrdZ1QQcmdZ ViewItem

I stand corrected. I had never seen one that looked like this before and figured it was a custom one of a kind deal. Glad others are here to keep me in line.

tri-star, did you just bondo this area up and smooth it or did you do metal work (cut/weld etc)?

That's a custom hood. Never seen one like it before, probably one of a kind.

My first thought was a Jag also then when I saw the grill I wondered if maybe it was not some MG that I had never seen before. Great call Arne!! Please don't poke fun at Speed Racer! He's my hero!! No, seriously....I really do like him. I have some of the collector items (coffee mug, calendar, etc) as well as the complete series on DVD.

This item has been listed no less than 3 times now and the reserve has never been met. Interesting item none the less.

Too bad you're not local to me, I have no cash and have the space...just got rid of two parts cars a couple weeks ago.
