Gav240z

No idea on the color mate it is nice. The front of the car is completely different though.

Why mess with perfection

The Z above has R32 Rear lights I believe. The R33 are closer together and the R34 are different again. I have included a picture of what I'm on about. I still prefer the original rear lights but I would however not mind the look of these either. I do like the R33 GTR wheels on the one above very sexy indeed. :classic: Still can't stand the one above no matter how many times I see it. It's up there with the rear hatch cut out treatment in the ugly department.

Sorry if it seems I've come across slurring you Graeme. I just love the way the 240z looks without body modification. I especially dislike wild body mods that make it look like a 80's retro rocket. The original post was asking what we thought of it. I did just that told him what I thought. I agree your car do what you like no problems there. As you can tell I luv my 240z the way it is . It's only because I feel the car is the artists impression I wouldn't take a picasso(think that'show it's spelt) and scribble on it cause I thought it looked ok that's just wrong :classic: . Anyway not trying to preach just giving my 2Cents. From the pictures I've seen your car looks like it will be very nice keep up the good work.

I absolutely hate it, looks repulsive the 240z rear lights are classic and look awesome. I don't mind the skyline round lights but I hate that.

It's important to note that in AUS we got points distributors with all 240z's and 260z's up to 77 I believe. We never got the 280z with fuel injection. So our Z's had the points dizzy(distributor) and boat anchor carbs till 77. When the ZX appeared we got the electronic one. THanks.

Ain't nothing dirty about anything I seen here so far .

I put my money on the points. If not the points it's probably a capacitor of some sort . The points is inside the distributor u can move them with your finger apart and let go and they snap back together. Newer distributors on fuel injected Z's were electronic and did not need points. They have two circular tips on arms. Refer to the Haynes manual on setting the gap. I bet they fused together from what he's explained. Gav,
