Yes, I would like to know how you made it. (Not using the same pattern as you though) I don't beleive in copy cating!! I just want a pissed off look for a pissed off car! Thanks: Brian:alien:

Most of the Boyd wheels are 5 lug. Do they make 4 lug or will you have to convert from 4 to 5 lug?

A very tight looking ride!!! That is the look I want for my car! Ofcourse I would have gone with the JDM Fairlady sideview mirrors to top-off the look. Brian:alien:

Sweet grill, paint it yourself?

So what you are saying is that all those cars have the same bolt pattern as the Z's? That's a lot of cars. I thought the Z had a "weird" bolt pattern and only a few rims would fit them. Cool stuff! Has anyone tried to do a 5-lug conversion? Brian:alien:

Thanks for the info. A hunting I will go..... :tapemouth BrianLOL

Thanks for the input brother, Big help. Thought I would be buying a new front. Brian

your site says that it is down temporarilly and to check back in an hour. would have been a cool video to see. Brian:alien:

I got an old (I think) Kaminari kit from the guy I got the Z from. Front air damn has 3 each cracks and 1 split in it. Can this part be fixed? Thanks: Brian:alien:

I would try do it myself. If you knew somewhere that a paintbooth was, I would do the prepwork and the paint myself. I would feel alot better knowing that I did a great job on my car and spared some cash by not paying someone else by the hour that is going to do a half-decent job. Just pay for the paint and time in the booth. Shouldn't take a lot out of your wallet. Brian:alien:

I may have missed it, but did you menchon where to buy the JDM mirrors at? They might be on MSA, but thought I'd ask before I went hunting. Thanks Brian:alien:

The alternator was already on the L28. I do have a E12-80 ignition modual, and I'm pretty sure it is wired up right. I was referring to your quote So I guess I should just keep starting her until one day she starts running? Definetly see a rebuild coming in my near future. Thanks anyway: Brian:alien:

I have that same problem! The car will start but when I go back to the on position, she dies. What did you guys do to get yours to run? Brian:alien:

I still have my original bumpers on my 240. If you are looking for these, I would be willing to sell them to you. Make an offer if you are interested. Brian:alien:

I have a T-5 trans in my '72 240 Z and the darn thing with the shift knob on looks like something out of a "Rat Fink" cartoon. My idea was to take my Dremel and cut it short so it's not so tall. Is there a company that makes short shifters for the T-5 so I don't have to go through as much trouble? Brian

Hey Ed, did you make plans on how to build the rotisserie? What are the specks, and what kind of metal did you use? Brian:alien:

Evening... Still haven't got my car to run yet. But I did get it to start!!! I maybe looking at a possable rebuild of the whole thing. The car from the outside has some rust and a dent in the drivers front 1/4 panel. The interior is white and missing a part here and there. My big question is where the heck do I find a Routisery at? I saw one in the Gallery, but He didn't say where he got it from. Looks like he built it himself with wheels and all. Could someone tell me where to find one at? 1,000 thanks. Brian:alien:

Funny story how I got my Z. I had a 1984 Ford Escort Wagon. 4-speed manual, and 1.4L SOHC. Real Beater. I traded the guy the Ford for the Z that wasn't running. The difference was $300. He was selling it for $500 and the Ford was worth $200. My wife thinks I don't owe him a dime, because the car isn't running. She dosen't know the value of a Z like us. (and probably never will.:stupid: ) Anyway, good luck with your hunt!! Brian:alien: P.S. Anyone know where I can buy a Routisery(I think thats what they are called), or do I have to build one? Thanks

If you where to buy new ones for your 240k, what would you be selling the old ones for?

If I wanted to buy these rims, what size and bolt pattern is a '72 240 Z?:stupid:

Yes it will! Go to www.zhome.com/ZCMnL/tach/ZXPertronix.html It has 3 wireing diograms and you can print them out for future use. Good luck brother! Brian

I really enjoy the Z also, but I've had a thing for the '68 Olds 442. I think it is because of the style and they look just as good as a Z when they are modified. Brian

You got it V12horse, It might take a little time, I still need to hinge the doors, hatch and the entire engine bay. (has small block 350 w/dual exhaust.) I'll keep you posted.:classic:

I got tired of finding this wire, and put new ones going to a carbon fiber guarded switch. this solved the fuel problem. Now she starts but wont run unless I keep the key in the start position. :mad: She can be a pain, but that is why I love her. Nutxo, did you have any luck with you "biplane" problem? I'd try a "Ractive" or "Blitz" exhaust. Something that will give you the flow you need, but without taking away your backpressure. Brian
