260 2+2 what is really bad about ?
There is no 240z 2/2. Yes the 260z 2/2 and the 280z 2/2 have the same roofline.

260 2+2 what is really bad about ?
I don't own a 2/2, but I have a 260 and I love it. I also think the dash is quite nice too. Of course I cannot compare because I have never driven a 240z. Here is a pic of my interior. Also, I think that the early 260 2/2 is sleeker than most 2/2's because the bumpers are smaller than the later model and the 280. The other thing is, you can always take those old emission friendly su's off and put on 72' su's like I did. Good luck on the car. Personally, I think the 2/2 looks great. -Ben http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=6301&password=&sort=7&thecat=500

we made the finish!
Hello Guus, this picture looks old to me too. I think it is due to all the shades of brown. I didn't notice it before, but I love what you did to your drop bar. It looks even more like the Monte works car with the side pieces. Now all you need are some works rally mags. hehehehe. I can see how they would be hard to find. Take care. Good luck with the rallying. -Ben

S30 Z
Did you take this photo? If you did, lucky you. I never see Z's like that in the states. Okay, I take that back. I saw 4 Fairlady Z's at a Z show of over 600 Z's. None of them looked quite that good. That Z has some nice 3-piece wheels too. They look like Watanabe's or Panasport's; which I love in 3-piece, by the way. Take care. -Ben

04174
The exhaust stain on the bumper makes this car look that much more aggresive. This is a true wolf in wolves clothing. You have great taste in Z's Gav. -Ben

why dont z's get carbon fiber?
All those parts look so awesome. I would love to see a Z with those parts. It would be so much lighter too. Even lighter with perplex windows. The Z would fly. I still want to see those carbon fiber ZG flares. Then the car would be complete.

Opinions on those Clear Headlight Covers... for an Z
Z-point, with those words said you have inspired me to find some headlight covers. 2manyZs, I think that is a great idea about spotwelding the nuts for easy removal. I was looking at my buckets and they are steel for sure. PrOxLaMuS, post those pictures of your car with the light covers. We want to see. Take care everyone. -Ben

240z bumper guards on a early 260z
I will answer my own question. I don't think it is possible unless I removed the shocks in the front, but this would be incredibly stupid because that is what is holding the bumper on! Darn, I really wanted to do this swap. It would be better just to get 240 bumpers. It's not that important. The stock bumpers still look good. -Ben:classic:
-
Can anybody identify these wheels?
I don't know exactly what they are, but I think it would be safe to say that they are Minilite's or Minilite style wheels. You can scratch Watanabe off your list. Good luck. -Ben
-
New Panasport Wheels...yeah
your car definately looks great with those wheels. I am thinking about getting these same wheels. Is your car lowered at all? Thanks -Ben

bonnet up
Nice looking 260. I have a white interior too. People say that it is a hassle to have because of cleaning issues, but I have never noticed it. Great find. -Ben

Nice day for a pic

240z bumper guards on a early 260z
I would like to take the big rubber bumper gaurds off my early 260 and not have gaurds at all but I don't like the look of the holes on the top. So I would like to put the 240z bumper guards on in place of the ones I have now. Would this work without modification to the guards? Has anyone done this swap before? -Ben

'71 240Z with 15x7 Revolution Wheels 1 of 2
I am late on the compliment, but that is beautiful. I love the revolution rims. I did not know they came in 15''. It definately looks period correct. The wheels I am planning to get for my Z will definately have a dish. -Ben

Longchamps XR-4 15'' on ebay
These are some nice looking wheels. I don't know about the price though. I didn't like them when I first saw them, but they have grown on me. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=43955&item=2433415270 Here is a pic of a sweet looking Z sporting these wheels. I think the ones in the pic are 14''. I am not 100%, but 98% anyway. http://www.classicZcars.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=4821&password=&sort=7&thecat=500 -Ben

why dont z's get carbon fiber?
I saw this on the net the other day. It would look out of whack on my car since it is almost dead stock, but it would look awesome on a rb-powered z or any modded one. I would like to see one of you guys buy one. That would be awesome. Something that I think would be even more awesome is matching carbon fiber ZG flares. I haven't looked into it, but has that been done? :classic: p.s. Just go to 240z and scroll down. Cann't miss it. CARBON FIBER HOOD! hehehe. -Ben http://www.classicdatsun.com/

Opinions on those Clear Headlight Covers... for an Z
I must say that this has been an interesting thread to read. It makes this forum have that much more of a family/friends feeling. I love it. Okay, I think the look of the clear headlight covers are awesome on Z's. The covers that I am interested are the ones with the chrome ring. Z-point, you mentioned that they look good on dark colored cars. Does anyone think they would look out of place on my car since it is a light colored car? Thanks a lot.

My '74 260Z
When I get the time I am going to take them off of my car. I think it makes the car look so much cleaner. -Ben

interesting rally photo of 240z
The more I am looking at this car Mr. Camouflage, the more I think it is a UK Z because of the turn signals the way they are. It does however have works options. Here is a picture of what looks to be the same car in the 1973 RAC. Regards, Ben
-
My '74 260Z
That is a very sharp looking 260. Are those the stock early style bumpers with the rubber over-riders removed? It looks great. Regards, Ben
-
all hooked up..
That is a beautiful Z. My car is also 305 Grand Prix Light Blue Metallic. Is this car a 260 or a 280? Either way it is beautiful. If it is a 260 we may have of the only 2 305 blue one's on the forum. The wheels are very rare. Leave this one stock.:up: Regards, Ben
