nice, I understand your excitement I can't wait to drive mine

yes beautiful Z and even nicer in person if possible

It is close but I agree it just doesn't look right

Mine either and also a 2/71 but it is disintegrating and have fibers all over the place

reminder

I hope I am safe Anything I see wrong is because of this site and Carl 6 months ago I would have seen nothing wrong with it, but guess it is worth what the buyer wants to pay for it

Looks like mine might one day. But even as a novice I can see small issues with it, to me it looks like a dealer prep job to make it look nice but probably still needs work underneath. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Datsun-Z-Series-240-1972-Datsun-240Z-4-spd-Inline-6-205mo_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6187QQihZ019QQitemZ290215264909QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

I am trying Grundy, mainly because I can also insure my 1990 300ZX with them also.

mine has one that was installed 1 year after PO bought the Z in 71 and it is on the passenger side

OK I did a bunch of looking around and I found the following sites with carpets in addition to MSA, TIR, Datsun Spirit and A1Auto, I am a newbie so not sure if there is history/information about these I am not aware of that you guys may already now about. http://classicdatsun.com/new/240Zcarpet.html http://www.auto-interior.com/datsun1.html#240Z http://qualitycarinterior.com/view-by-car-datsun-240z-carpet.html (no pics but descriptions and differentiate between model years) http://www.datsunstore.com/index.php/cPath/1_19 (no pics either but very detailed explanation of carpet and options)

what is funny is that I have heard that tons of times with the 350Z specially when it first came out and people saw it for the first time at events I attended.

when I took it out there was so much dust on it that I choked, I have been vacuuming it after that picture an swear it looks darker. The backing is in rough shape and some small damages on the carpet itself, I am thinking of finding a place around here to see if they can fix it or maybe even using it for a mold to make new ones. Here in south florida you have a lot of good people with all of the south/central americans, no insult to anyone I am Colombian myself.

the front strap clips are held in by two phillips screws that go right in those two small holes and screw into the body

FWIW here are pics of mine which I assume are original from 02/71, it is really faded but in decent enough shape I am going to try dying them

as mentioned it sounds like an alternator if you can get the car started and running the battery is just along for the ride and getting recharged from then on. pulling the cable from the battery, not wise as mentioned, and the car died just shows that the car was running off the battery and not the alternator, you can run that way for a while until the battery discharges and you no longer have juice to run the electrical Testing at the battery was probably just telling you how much voltage the battery had if the alternator was not working properly, best way to check alternator is to use the voltmeter on the power post of the alternator and ground or alternator case, if that is less than 13-14 then your alternator is going bad.

you know me, I always loved the 240Z and I had to do it, I was holding out for yours but I didn't see that happening, I would definitely like to take a look t that book at the picnic if you don't mind.
