Enrique, Sorry I missed tagging the Z content, thanks for catching it for me! Will

My neighbors have called the police on me numerous times for having a car on Jack stands-or a rotisserie in the garage, having a car covered in the carport, having a presentable parts car on the driveway for a day-every time the city has come out and verified that each of the cars in question is mine, and that I am not running a business. Usually by the end of the day, at least three different city officials have visited me at my hobby-and that is all due to no noise-low impact visual stimuli! It all depends on neighbors. We have several of those guys here-a Plastic surgeon with an original 250GTO(and lots of other nice cars) He is a collector, seriously into appearances but no knowledge of the mechanism, There is one traveling Ferrari mechanic in town. To be into cars, at least two of the following criteria must be met on at least a yearly basis. Parts have to be occasionally in your living space(livingroom, dining room, bedroom....) Your hands have to get so dirty it takes a day or two to get them absolutely clean-even with scrubbing. Your tools have to have more wear from your own use than from your admiration. Will

Yes, I understood what you ment-and I responded to it! Will

Vicky, Leave the snails alone(well, maybe except for Scotts! )!

Hey, after seeing her in Romancing the Stone-I haven't seen her since-but she made an impression! Will

OOOH, that tingles!-things an L series block might say while in an electrolytic bath! Will

Right back at you, and waiting for an address! Will

I-uh never mind! and I thought Mrs. Spielburg would make a great Palace Slave!

The part I am talking about is the vent opening that comes down from the passenger side of the front windshield. If you lay in the passenger floor board with your head toward the engine compartment and look up, you will see the opening. Every parts car I have has rust holes in this area, and If yours has a goodun', please let me know before you cut it loose(I will send a picture showing hw much I need). I want a correct repair even where it will never be seen by anyone else. Will

I can wait-there was a car in Texas that was on ebay about the time my son was born-the only reason I didn't go get it-that came with a g-nose-I wonder what became of it? I would like to make a mold of the OEM pieces, and make them available again-but I have too many projects, and no G-nose to mold from! Will

Carl, I notice that you absolutely left out your garage-care to comment?

Some days, there just isn't much better than a hot bath! Will

The urethane will probably add more noise than it removes. It is not a compliant material, and that means it conducts mechanical energy(noise does qualify as mechanical energy). No Carl, I have no suprises for you! Will

Hey Carl, Those pinto wheels would look mighty sweet.... Will

Has anyone got pictures of the individual pieces of an OEM gnose? Will

You're not wrong-not a series 1 console, could be he just liked the hatch, or it was the first one he found, or just dumb luck! He did get the vents for it though! Will

Yes on both questions! Will Alan, you have a PM!

The steering rack bushings are definitely different ( http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=7206 ), and a front 280 sway bar is thicker than a 240 swaybar. I am not sure about the others, but having taken apart many of both, I think the rest of the bushings are interchangeable. Will

Brilliant! Will

I just installed that kit(off the car), it has every bushing in the stock suspension. It does not have any for a rear swaybar, the tranny, or the differential mounting-it does have the mustache bar bushings. Look at the MSA or VB catalogs, they clearly illustrate what comes with it, and they have a stock suspension drawing to compare to to identify what bushings/insulators you might also want to replace. I chose to add the G-Machine allignment adjustment kits front and rear, and actually had a very enjoyable conversation with the owner of G-Machine Inc. He was one of the primarys in Kontrolle Shocks, and gave me some information about them. There are many threads about installing the bushings, and the tip to end all is: BORROW THE SPINDLE PIN PULLER from Beandip!!! Do not attempt to pound the spindle pin out! Will

The current high bidder is the same one who got the series one hatch from the fairlady thread. From the looks of what has been purchased, there must be a 240Z in a garage or the plan somewhere-Might be a good candidate for membership here. I have certianly been caught up in frenzied bidding before (hopefully not tomorrow, I am going to look at-and more than likely bring home-a 1969 2000 Roadster), and paid more than my sanity should allow for somthing or other-to quote my favorite roommate from college, "I don't remember!". I would be tempted with those, to see if they were the stainless trim version (mine are chrome plated). But I could probably get the seller to take some detailed pictures of the underside of the trim just by asking. I appreciate the vote of confidence! Hopefully it will not be too much longer before they are ready-the trim seems to be working out. I will post a progress report and a couple of questions for you on monday, after I talk to the mold guys-they are due. Will

Yep-er, it does, but it is in a neighborhood, and on a property obviously zoned for housing. Will

Get the rear section-if it isn't rusty-that is a very common area to have to repair. Get the seat mechanisms if they are early(round adjusters-not levers). Just store the mechanisms if you don't have room for the seats. Check the vent area under the cowl and above the heater fan-they rust out and need repair(I need one). What about the wiring harnesses? There is one quarter window left! Will

Zoning laws would prevent anyone from doing professional car work in a residential garage-especially in that sort of neighborhood-unless your best customers were your neighbors. Will

I had considered using that same style of antenna on the roof, just ahead of the hatch, or even at the top of the hatch, but chose against because of changing the lines of the car. You have a perfect Photoshop exercize! Will
