Besides the Zcar, what are your favorite cars?
I dont see any pics of the 65-66 Camaro. Are they any different than the 67-68? ROOPZ

Besides the Zcar, what are your favorite cars?
I love all cars really...but I have (in addition to my Z!!) an 82 Mustang GT, a 68 and 73 Camaro, and a 73 Pontiac Lemans. If I could have anything....I dont know where I would begin. Probably a 911 or a skyline. Then I would need a c5 corvette and a 55 Chevy along with a new 05 Mustang if it looks as good as the concept. So many cars...so little money! ROOPZ

Buying my first Z
I would definitely do the LS1. It would be a great motor to have and easier to supercharge than an older carb'd version. Check out www.darius240Z.com for some awesome video of a 240Z with a V8. You will probably want to checkout www.hybridz.org for more swap info. There are a ton o people there who have done many different kinds of swaps. Good luck!

Bumpers??
Hello everyone, I am trying to clarify how the 240 bumpers mount on a 280. I know it can be done but I am trying to make sure I buy the correct pieces before I buy them. I know noone personally with a 240 so I cannot see for myself. I think the 240 has a recessed area in the quarter panel where the bumper meets but my 280 does not have this area. How will the bumper fit? The front seems to be fairly straight forward but the rear has me hesitant to try it. Is there a difference in the 240 bumpers from year to year? I have searched the forum for any swap info but noone has ever addressed the issue of the recessed area or any specific instructions on how the install goes. If anyone has done this swap please let me know? I appreciate it very much! ROOPZ

Windshield Wiper Motor
Hi everyone, I have a question for you. Why do my wipers move so slowly? I have take the linkage out and cleaned the bushings/etc and re-lubed them and it made no difference. There does not seem to be any restrictions in the linkage at all but yet the wipers move at a snails pace. Is this normal? Would a new motor help? Any other options? I dread driving in the rain, not only because I dont want to get my car wet [] but also because I can barely see through the windshield. Thanks for any advice. ROOPZ

Transmission woes
Sounds like your clutch is going out. I would have it checked out before you damage the tranny and HAVE to have it rebuilt. Good luck! ROOPZ

A/C, MSA, Courtesy Nissan, Vintange Air, other?
Hey Landmizzle, I do not have any experience with installing aftermarket air in a 280Z but I am installing the vintage air in my 73 camaro (hey! I love all cars, but not so much the new rice burners ). It is one of their universal fit series. If you are good at fabbing up brackets (simple brackets at that) then you will have no problem. Just measure the area you have to work with under your dash and see which system they have that fits into those dimensions. They have a catalog that lists each system and its dimensions. If you do not have it then measure your area and let me know, I will look it up for you. Dont forget to leave room for other items that fit in the dash. Since I am still in the install phase I cannot comment on the effectiveness of the system but I have heard nothing but good things about the vintage air systems and I would not hesitate to install it in my 280Z. Best of luck, ROOPZ
