24OZ

Wow!! Great pics! Good to see so many drivers of modern cars giving the Z a thumps up too!! The contrast with the black dash and the white seats and trim really goes well and makes the interior really look bright and is a far cry to the dark and gloomy interior of my car.

Congratulations. What a sweet red z. The interior looks great too, i havent seen a z with a white interior, do you have any interior pics to post?

Its not unusual for a British 240Z in excellent condition to be offered for that amount and as Doehring says you shouldnt need any parts for a car in excellent condition.

Oooh nasty, sorry to hear this. I'd take the car for an alignement check just for peace of mind. I did this on a VW rabbit in my early driving days. I was travelling a lot faster and lost control on a corner. The car never quite recovered and always had a squat on the side I had hit it :stupid:. Going at a lower speed as you did shouldnt cause you that much problems but its worth checking incase you have bent anything.

Cool story, it would have been great if you took some pics of it in the showroom and you drving it out!

My drivers seat base is torn but the seat back is perfect and the passengers seat is like new. It is possible to just get the trim from another Z seat and swap them over. Dave Sommers kindly gave me this link which should help you out too, Project- Seat Covers What I want to know is why dont more people try and find second hand seats with good covers rather then buy new Z covers?? The passenger's seat is always going to be better then the drivers so there should be loads in the junk yard to choose from. No???

I'd say go to a paint shop, thats what I did. They even put it into a spray can for me. I spray into a jam jar and then use a thin brush to apply it. This works well with most paint but not metallic, metallic is quite hard to touch up as the metallic bits will stick to the brush and not go onto the paint unless you spray directly from the can but then thats not really a touch up but a really bad respray!

Now now:finger: , theres nothing god awful about Metallic Green 113!!!:devious:

Here's a better pic of what Alfadog is illustrating. What goes in that indented hole with the arrow pointing to it in the top dash?

All i can add is what a beauty. If you do end up buying her congratulations and please add loads of pics in the members gallery, also let us know what colour that car is. Good Luck.

Owen, this is a good oppportunity for you to try and source this magazine. I bought it from a Japanese book shop in London, England. It has loads of tuning mods and company addresses in Japan. If you are interested and want to try and find it it is called: "Fairlady Z", the series is by "Hyper Rev", publisher is "News Publishing Co." and the ISBN No is : 4-938495-57-0 If you hadnt guessed already, its all in Japanese! More 300ZX TT stuff then 240Z stuff but it does fetaure some pretty powerful 240Z's in it or fairlady Z's as there known in Japan.

I am happy to say NONE! It has never been welded and nor does it need any. This is quite rare for a car coming from England.:classic: The car was heavily Zeibarted when new and still it ouzes out the seams in some places. It has done an excellent job in protecting it.

Very Sweet looking Z. Good video, wanted to see more. That was a close encounter with the yellow Z!

If your voltage regulator has been overcharging you should notice loads of white powdery stuff on your battery, its terminals as well and near the inner fender and even maybe under the inspection cover lid. All this acid spews out of the battery when it gets over charged. It's a good idea to take the battery out and neautralise that white stuff as it is acidic and will eat at the body work. If I remember correctly bicarbonate of soda and loads of hosing down will do the job.

Not sure why this happened but it sounds like your fusible links have blown. It is usually caused by high draw or near capacity draw. If you have a dead or nearly dead battery you can blow them as the alternator will try charging and overload it. This is what I've been told, someone correct me if Im wrong and if this has nothing to do with Rocks problem. Good luck and hope someone with more zexperience can help you out.

Alan, thats exactly what I was thinking too. To me they dont look anything like a swastika. Oddly enough there is a universal acceptance that these are the swastika alloys. :stupid:

I've just ordered the FSM 240Z Manual on CD from Courtesy Nissan. I hope it was worth the $$'s as it retails for $69.95

Hi Rick, Aesthetically Style 2 gets my vote but as Keith says style 1 would be a better choice for your application. The brake pads will get VERY hot and the more open area available the cooler they'll be and the better they'll work.

Wow, she looks so damn sexy after her bath!! Great find! Good luck on crancking her up, I would like to see more pics of her rebirth. Keep em coming..

Great advice, thanks guys.... I wish I had the know how to tacke such a job, as soon as I have some spare cash I'd like to take it to an electrical specialist to return it to its original condition. Saying that I may just hold out for my restoration in a couple of years time, with a Z specialist. As I said the car gets hardly driven never mind driven at night . 24OZ's are too scarce in the UK to be driven too frequently, mine only comes out in the Summer months and only at the weekends when the sun is shining, which is pretty rare in itself. Have you guys heard of the British Summer?? Rain, Rain, Rain and maybe a heat wave for 1 week! :tapemouth Now you know why we have so few Z's left!

Don't worry be happy . The longer you have to wait, the more you will learn and the better the car you'll find. Good luck!!
