I totally agree with you there Bambikiller. Why don't they just tax my paycheck so I can drive as fast as I wantLOL . Of course I can't really talk bad about cops. Most of my experiences with cops have been OK. The best was when the Police caught the thieves that stole my Z. (plus giving my car back in one piece) the worst was when I recieved a littering ticket in the mail after ripping up a parking ticket and thowing it out the window.:stupid:

Some of you people should stick to talking about cars. Your proof that we still need the Electorial College.

Saddam owes a few of them money, that's why

notice how the allies are always behind us?? never infront?? Oh where would the world be without France???

all hitler needed was time......

when Clinton bombed Iraq, was it about oil then too??? or was it a different kind of stain. Just my 2 cents

I've posted this before, but there was a scene in the show 'rockford files' where a woman is followed by James Garner, the woman is in a white 240Z. I remeber it because you see a lot of the car.

I have the program your looking for. It's called softwheels. www.softwheels.com I had them make me a program with just the Z car on it. They didn't have a 240Z at the time, so I used an early model 280Z. Good luck finding 4 lug, 0 offset rims though...

I have heard of people putting the late model 15/16 brake master cylinder in their 240Z's. What is the advantage of this and is it a direct bolt on?? dave record 1972 240Z Rebello built 3.0L Tokico springs, rear sway bar, strut tower bars, short steering knuckles,4-piston front calipers, rear disc brakes (brembo rotors),

what's up with the 2 types of rims??? not to menton the interior.....brown??? 10,000 dollars??? :sick:

Salt taken...

I"m getting a 4-door truck out of practicality, not looks. I have a wife and kid, so I need a vehicle with a back seat. I also need a truck, for various reasons. One of them being for towing the Z when I move to Texas, or taking the Motor to the speed shop (hopefully not very often) can't do that with a Jetta. J/K there Arizona240z:classic:

well, to tell you the truth I'm a novice when It comes to trucks. I the last truck I owned was a 1989 toyota. I bought it brand new. In my line of work, I see more contractors using the Dodge truck, than the Ford. That's why I leaned toward the Dodge. Tell me, why is a Ford better than a Dodge?? Either way, I'll probably get that Titan. Speaking of the Tundra, I heard it was racing in the NASCAR truck series next season.

It's about time Nissan made a full size truck. That picture would be complete if it was towing a 240Z on a trailer. I've been thinking about getting a truck with a back seat. Been steering towards a Dodge. Looks like there is a new contender.

what about the motor mounts? torque from acceleration might be keeping the motor still?? Just a guess........ Everytime my Z vibrated at around 60 MPH it was because of wheel balance. I've been told that Z cars are very sensative to wheel balance.

My wife hardly even sits in the passenger seat let alone DRIVE my Z!!! She's afraid of it actually. Besides, I got her a 2000 Celica GTS. So she gets her fill of 'sporty' driving with her own car. (wish I would have waited for the Subaru WRX, we have 1 child, I would have liked the four doors)

lOOKS LIKE AN ANCHOR TOO MEROFL

everytime I get a ticket, it's only for about 10 mph over the limit. I guess I'm just lucky. Had the Z up to 145 once. The funniest ticket I got was when I recieved a parking ticket one night. I ripped up the ticket and threw it out the window. A few days later I also recieved a littering ticket in the mail. ARRRGGG!!

You mean they just gave you a ticket????? I thought that was a "GO STRAIGHT TO JAIL, DO NOT PASS GO" type of offense.

I saw one takin a few laps at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, CA, a couple of months ago. I assume it was a replica. VERY FAST!!!! Amazing that so much sound comes out of such a small car.

did I forget the 'A'?? sorry, forgot to proof-read my proof-read. I can't believe there is hardly any traffic in those videos. I wish Northern California was like that!!!!

The Getaway in Stockholm videos.....Those guys are absolutely INSANE:stupid: They take high performance cars and actually get the police to CHASE them at high speeds, make a video of it, then sell the vid. I'm mean, are these guys for real??? www.getawayinstockholm.com is the site if anyone is curious. If your in Stockholm, for GODSAKE, LOOK BOTH WAYS!!!! ---------- Edit by Mike: Added the proper URL.

the 240Z had the lap belt, with a shoulder strap that hooked onto the lap belt. I didn't think it will bolt to the "tower". I bolted the retractor (early 280Z model) where the "strap" bolted to; next to the hatch above the tower. Then had the end welded to the lap belt end. The only problem is you have to work with 2 locking straps, Lower and Upper. Sometimes it's a pain to get both straps to work together when putting the belt on, but I like having a shoulder strap that retracts. At least until I get my new seats that will use a 5 point harness. Hope this helps.

I'm 31.....

I talked to a friend of mine and he explained to me that the reason the pressure increases when you close the valve is because your forcing the same amount of fluid through a smaller hole. Like holding your thumb over the opening of a garden hose. The reason I got the adjustable valve is because I thought the stock valve ( being set up for drums ), would create too much pressure for rotors; ergo, the rear brakes would lock up to early. Plus, I have the toyota four piston calipers on the front. After putting on rear disc brakes, I figured I needed something adjustible to balance everything. So your saying, if the rear locks up first, just back off the valve until the front brakes lock up??
