They are occasionally in the threads, but most are here! http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=3323 Will

Welcome! I think you will find there are quite a few! Get the Jags that Run manual direct from the Jags that Run site! Will

Did you check with your local dealer-through your local Z club discount! $150-$170 beats $200, and it will be the current iteration of factory Nissan parts! Will

IN looking for a good one, club members can help there as well, by giving potential cars the once over. Then, using that personal knowledge of the car, let you know what you need to accumulate before shipping! Will

Hi, and Welcome! NO 240Z came from the factory with a sunroof, Only one person I know has had a sunroof in a Z that did not leak-and he replaced hi roof anyway! The parts you should get while you are at it depend on what you want to do with the car, and the car its self! (I would not just make up a blanket parts order to have everything covered unless money is not an issue! Will

No, it will still play out with who ever buys the stuf. Will

The only thing wrong with your Z cave(and Stephens) is... It's not at my house! Congratulations!

That was more the subject of my reply in both posts. They were more a comment on how laughable that statement is when it comes to having any impact at all. I don't think the Chief Inspector would get any further than "Does Your dog bite?" Pretty much the same point you made Will

Alan, Taken from context your point makes sense, but exactly in who in France is he going to report a buyer in the USA to that will care-much less be in a position to do anything about it? Personally I know people are going to do what people are going to do, and that is fine with me, but as you are so fond of reminding everyone, the Z community is more than this or that side of the pond! Will

I put a set of mini arm rests in my 280Z 2+2 the week I bought it in 1982, they were JC whitney power window lifts, I had a buddy at gulfstream Aerospace make me some switch aluminum switch pods that mounted under the side console screws so I didn't have to cut the console. the motors weren't as quiet as I wanted, but they did the job on the 2+2 windows so well for the 12 years I had the car, I took them out and kept them when I sold the car...I'll have to pull them out and take a picture-the switch pods were/are too trick!

Sean I'm not sure you who you are addressing in your post, but if you reported doing something illegal...you would have consequences for having done it. Over here turning yourself in does not absolve you of responsibility or consequence. Unfortunately most states are not set up to handle any but the 17 digit format, and there is absolutely no standard for entering vins with less than 17 digits between states, add to that many states do not require a title on older cars, so unless you report it to the proper authorities in all 50 states-and think of all of the transfers and time that would take-reporting it to any ten agencies and having anything meaningful come out of the report is a pipe dream-unless it sold in the state the title you have is from. If the ad had been for the entire stripped chassis with nothing cut out, you would have excluded the majority of the thieves because of the logistics, paper trail and sheer work involved-when you add anonymity and ease to any transaction you invite people to step out of their persona-what happens anonymously stays anonymous-selling the get out of jail (consequences) free. Having no consequence leaves only you conscience as a objection-A lot of people will make different choices with consequences out of the picture. Locks keep honest people honest by limiting opportunity, given opportunity and no consequence, what would you do differently? The auction effectively gave someone that scenario. Will Defending the value of earlier cars isn't necessary, look at ebay sales, they sell for more-why isn't important, the fact is that they do. I can explain why the sky is the color it is, but does that explanation change the color of the sky?

That pretty much is my point, but selling something and alluding to its non intended purpose pretty much is a big unententional sign the less honest in the crowd to go Hmmmmm. It was a mistake to sell that on ebay in my eyes, that doesn't make it wrong for anyone but me. I guess I take more responsibility than most people for polluting my environment with the things I cast off for free or for money. Admittedly nothing is going to stop a thief who is determined to get something, but most are opportunists, waiting for an easy score, and when you give them anonymous access to a kit with how to instructions...sounds like pollution to me. Will

No, We are living in a world where everyone can be touched by thieves, and taking away their opportunities is really our only defense. Will

Sean, What your ebay sale effectively advertised was: Attention thieves! Turn less than $2000 and a day or two into at least $10,000! Add this paperwork and parts kit to a 72/73 z(at least three of which are on ebay for BIN of $300 to $700 right now), put the car in storage for a little while, then post your newly found low vin on ebay! and watch the bidding frenzy begin! Be sure to collect either cash/western union, or use a Yahoo email account to set up paypal! If any one asks too many questions, give them answers to make the car less desireable, if the questions define a newby, set the hook! You don't realize it, but you took the most dificult part of that scheeme and built a DIY kit! It is the difficulty with finding and transporting a rusted out low vin that makes this "investment" more difficult. You packaged it, marketed it and made it as prettty as a tourist with his wallet about to fall out of his pocket! Not your intention-no more than losing the wallet was the only thing the tourist planned for his day, but none the less an opportunity for a thief was the result! It isn't about importing/exporting, or rebuilding a legitimate car with a paperwork issue it is about giving a thief an opportunity to turn a sows ear into a silk purse for long enough to get money and get away, leaving someone stuck with something that is not what they paid for. Will

Read it again a little more carefully:finger:, they are in the thread;) Will

one of those wheels does have some fairly serious curb rash-and as such could be less than true. Paying someone to restore them will run about $500, be sure you consider that... Will

Early hood 65100-N4200 MSRP $480.32 Quick WEb search $372.25 Late Hood Msrp 65100-N4800 $515.83 quick WEB search $406.21 1) see if you have a Z club close by-frequently they have worked out a discount. if not... 2)I would talk to the parts department manager and politely approach him/her or it(depending on the outcome) for a discount citing the fact that selling something at 80% is always better than selling nothing at 100%. The fact that you have part numbers and can prepay means the dealership will have nothing tied up in inventory, and actually less payroll than looking up a part for a new car. Selling to you at a discount will make the department volume will go up-something Nissan values and rewards. Take several websites that sell OEM parts at a discount with you, and show him he is not the only game in town, but he would be the preferred supplier-but given the parts are genuine nissan, price does come into play. Will

The only difference Iridium will make in your Z is lightening your wallet! You made the best choice and you were horribly misinformed-unless the performance the recommender was talking about was emptying your wallet quickly. In 25 years of realworld testing, and trying everything out there, nothing beats the proper NGK plug in a well-maintained L series engine. Will
