  1. What good does this do? Wouldn't the zinc plating wear off the first time you drive the car? Is it worth having or not really?
  2. Contact SCCA_Racer on this site, last time I was out at his house he had lots of 280Z suspension parts. I'd send him an email since I do not see him on the site very often.
  3. Did anyone record the premier after the Superbowl? The game ran over and my TiVo only caught the first 15 minutes of it.
  4. Unfortunately it looks as though they all drive 350Zs, only a couple pix even had a first gen in it. Nice to see so many women involved in Zs though!
  5. Go back to that site and click on Performance Tips, then scroll down to the item labeled Sixth - The Differential. I think that this is what you are looking for.
  6. What kind of deal can you get us on the mesh grill?
  7. Yes, that would be the F54 block.
  8. Not sure either. But for fun take a look at this site to see many really cool cars, there's even a Z in the bunch (a 2+2, but it's still a Z). Their inventory is constantly changing so you may want to bookmark it so you can browse from time to time. http://www.automaniacs.com/index.html
  9. Top, just add the front air dam from the bottom one to it. Oh, and personally, put the badges back on.

    Spy Hunter © 12/1983 Bally Midway. - STAFF: Designed and programmed by Bill Adams, George Gomez and Tom Leon. Music by Henry Mancini. - TRIVIA: The car was based on one of the designer's own Nissan 280z. The game was to have a helicopter stage but the designers ran out of resources. They also wanted the James Bond theme to play, but settled for the Peter Gunn theme instead.
  11. Spicer is just a brand beandip. MSA sells them, I have a set on my pass. half shaft; just replace a couple months ago.
  12. Anyone know aprox. what a 4-speed Z tranny weighs? Also, anyone ever ship one? If so how did you send it (i.e. UPS, FedEx, truck freight, etc) and how much did it cost (from where to where)?

    Pizza Hut.
  14. hls30.com, have you got a pic of that? I'd be interested to see it on a car to see just how it worked, and how big of a sign it is. Not planning on doing it, just sounds quite interesting.
  15. I'm with Arizona240z, do NOT EVER send this type of info to anyone who blindly contacts you asking for it. Two words (can you say): IDENTY THEFT
  16. Ok, website issue...as long as you are not publishing copywritten material (including logos, etc) nor outright distributing personal information without the person's concent they reall can't touch you. You own the website so you can do pretty much what you want with it (within the law). However, if they have paid for your services, materials, time, the site hosting, etc, etc, etc. then they do own those parts...now if you have 'donated' these things they may also have a leg to stand on legally. No, I'm not in law I'm in the computer industry so therefore I do keep up with some of the legal intelectual property mumbo jumbo to protect myself and know my own rights. I've been doing computer programming and application development for many years and have a library of ALL the code and applications I have ever written or developed. I'm NOT reselling this, it is a personal reference library so next time I have to do someting similar I have a starting point which shortens the development time and everyone benefits. Yes, legally the company who paid me to do the work owns the work that has been done however you show me a computer person who does not do the same thing! Bottom line here is that you may have to rearrange things and change the 'look & feel' of the site a bit but in this case from what you have told us it is your's.

    Yes, according to VB the '70-'78 windshield are all the same and have the same part number.
  18. Ya know, I even did a search on Rebello Racing Engine and still could not find it. :stupid: Forgot to thank you.... Thanx for the link.
  19. Ok, I can NEVER find the link to Rebello's website when I want it. This time I'm bookmarking it! Can anyone post the link please? Why don't we add this to our Links page? I looked under Z Car Businesses and didn't see it.
  20. In Texas we have a couple different options for cars classified as classics. We can run with the original plates (at least plates from the original year) or get new "Classic Auto" plates like the ones kmack has on his car (I think, I can not find a pic of them now). There is a place just south of me (actually a little more than 1/2 way between me and kmack) that deals in classic/collectable cars and they sell the plates there (I'm sure there are many other places that do also). Here's a link to their site, they always have a lot of nice cars to look at. Automania I personally have never seen a Z in there but I did see a 280 on their website within the past few months. And they also do restoration work so they really know their stuff! EDIT: In fact the 280 is still on there, but it's a 2+2.
  21. Answers my question. The buy selling it, on eBay, is not too clear on this sway bars application. He states that it is for a 240Z and that there is no drilling required. I didn't think that this sounded right based upon the past threads here. Thank you all. I was hoping to save a few bucks instead of buying the ST set with runs near $300 for front and rear but looks like I'll just have to bite the bullet when I get to that point in my Z and buy them new from them to insure I get the right ones.
  22. Last pic
  23. Does this look like the kind of sway bar for a 240Z that does NOT require drilling the chassis to mount?
