What makes you drive craZy?
Mitsubishi Lancer owners are exactly the same. They think they have a fast car. They look faster than a Hyundai Excel, but have less power. They wanna take on my friend in his TT Supra all the time, but they aint worthy. If it aint rear wheel drive it aint worth driving.

Wouldn't do much good. I saw a survey and about 70% of Americans couldn't find America on a map of the world.

Rust on Roof: Redo or Convertible?
How much is some rust? Cutting the whole roof off because of a little rust is a bit drastic. Would be cheaper to get the rust removed and new metal welded in. If you cut off the roof, your gonna have to strengthen the chassis, and that means welding anyway. You wouldn't want yor zed to snap in half.

Availability/Price Zed's in OZ?
Luke, All cars in the trading post are displayed in the autotrader, so when you search on autotrader you are getting results from the trading post and a heap of other sources also. So no, it doesn't suck. Its just cumbersome to search all categories. Autotrader and trading post are both owned and pubished by the same company, so the have every right to "siphon" ads from the tradingpost.

Availability/Price Zed's in OZ?
zeds are pretty rare in oz,we only got about 3000 of them i think. It would probably be easier getting a LHD from the US and converitng it to RHD. All you'd really need would be a new dash. and maybe a steering rack if you cant flip it over. You could probably get the mechanical parts from a 2+2 or a wrecked 240 locally. Anybody done a steering conversion on a 240z? I'd be interested to hear how hard/easy it is. Also anybody know how much it cost to ship a car to australia from the US. There was a 1970 (might have been a 69) for sale in perth for $6500 but I heard it wasn't really worth it. look in www.autotrader.com.au theres a couple in there i think, but you have to check the small, medium section, hot and custom section, sports section etc... separetly cause you cant search them all at once (poor website design on thier part)

Z cars on ebay are becoming a joke
Original engine 3 litre 260z ? yep probaly knows nothing about cars. Well you would have to have no taste to put a air dam like that on a beautiful car like a Zed (the bronze one I'm talking about). And 240z never came with sunroofs. that's a dealer (not factory, there is a differance) installed option, like mags and air conditioning. suppose the bonnet vents and front spoiler are "original" too. not for a 240z. original to some people means "well they were on the car when I bought it". Hey I've noticed a disturbing trend on e-bay. Instead of selling the whole car for say $3000, sellers have been selling their 240z's piece by piece. What do they make more money that way? Do a search, you could build your own zed from all the parts listed on there.

engine paint color 73 240Z ?
Blue is the answer to your question L24 blocks were a mid blue colour. not too light, not too dark. maybe a little darker that the blue used in this website (depending on your brightness settings of course). Don't know if it had a name of where to get it though.

emblems
I've heard clear silicon is slightly acidic an shouldn't be used on cars? anyone else heard this. Windscreen fitters might know, as they always use the black sealant. I used heaps of silicon on my 240z ages ago, but dont own the car anymore. I agree its great for sticking on badges, and stopping leaks, but if its gonna eat into your car I wouldnt be using it in the future.

'71 240z for sale
Hey Steve. Lift up the carpet and take a few photos of the floor pannels. If you can show that it's not rusty in the usual Z places (floor pannels, under the battery tray etc), you might get some more interest. Would be really easy to convert to a 5 speed manual, if anyone was interested in doing that. Yeah, and post it in the for sale section Now if the car was in Australia.....

No Spark in my '71
Have you checked your points gap. If your points dont open and close to wont get a spark from the coil.

Turn signals: present or not?
UK cars didn't have the indicators/sidelight under the bumper. the pannel simpley didn't have the hole in it. instead they has rectangular lights hung off the bumperbar, or sitting on top of the bumperbar. This was due to local design laws, probably because of the limited visibility of the normal indicators from certain angles. Aussie cars didn't have the side indicators either. or the side markers on the rear side pannels of the car. as they weren't required by our local laws.

out of the hole
Rev the engine up to 3 or 4000 rpm (so it in the boost range) to get the turbo spinning, then drop it into drive. Just don't do it too often or you'll break something.

240ZG Flares
Rick, Just dont call him an expert, eh Alan and whatever you do don't mention Goertz :tapemouth Hey Alan whats the story with your car? I seem to recall you got it from Japan? There should be a members car section where you can read all about members cars, well maybe just the interesting ones like yours. Graeme, where'd you get your gnose from? Make sure you post your findings regarding the "Overfenders" for the benefit of us other aussies, that may be looking for parts in the near future. Wouldn't it be cheaper to import from Japan than from the US? Since they are closer to us. Whats the Yen worth these days? Maybe I should go into business making FG pannels for Zeds. Mr C
