Z-Priv

Used semi gloss laquer on the faux wood.. 15 light coats...

i used high-gloss engine enamel for the paint, they call for semi-gloss..

I ordered a subscription and the back issue from Fall 2001. The how-to refinish your steering wheel is in the Fall 2001 issue. http://www.sportzmagazine.com/Z_PreviewFall01.html

thank you, thats what im doing, i would like a little lower profile but not much.. that's why i ask what size your were i'm researching wheel and tire combos i still have plenty or trend on thr tires mounted on the stock rims now they will do just fine for now, i have many other things to take care of.. thank for the reply. Mike

looks good.. im trying to do pretty much the same thing with my 71 240.. maybe totally restore it a few more years down the road.. what size are your panasports? i think i might go an inch more diamater.. yours look good though..

it does have one, i'm going to take another picture..

Hello.. just thought i would share a picture of my steering wheel i just restored using the sport z mag instuctions more or less.. was fairly easy.. took more than 3 hours though..

that doesnt sound too promising.. .. will look for black stuff on mine.

Bought this car about a month ago on ebay.

nice looking Z.... looks likes its in our neighborhood aswell.. wish i had some money..

had everything you suggested checked and adjusted two weeks ago and it still did it.. 2manyZ's you where right it was the ignition switch. Fixed it this afternoon. Thanks for the suggestion..

It's totally stock. am going to put a new ignition in though. I got a lot of idea from the zcar forums i can try, including better gas and some decarbon.. timing and the carbs were both dialed in two weeks ago, might get a valve adjustment also.. thanks for your help..

now after reading those posts im not too sure now. seem it could be a few things.. gave me a couple of things to look into though.

Thanks for the link SoCal, i was thinking maybe timing also.

Hey all, I know this is probably a dumb question but i cant remeber what causes this. I have a 71' 240z which run great except when you turn the car off it sputters and revs and doesn't fully shutoff for about 5 or so seconds. I know this is a comman occurance with cars i'm just not sure exactly what causes it. I searched the forums already and didnt find anything, if there is already a thread about this that someone knows about please let me know. Thanks in advance for any help.

Going to repaint it the same org. color.. didnt like it at first, have grown to like it now.

My defroster bites as well. This might sound retarded but when something electrical stops working in my car i usually just give a little tap to the fuse box and whatever wasnt working usually kicks in.. Doubt that's yer problem, but give it a try. I need to take out my whole fuse box and either replace or repair it. And your car looks Very Nice BTW.. from what i can see in the pic.

i have the same exact problem as you. Probably as do others.. I'f i figure it out i'll let you know what i did.. I too am getting power to the window but stays fogged up until the inside of the car finally warms up enough..

Definitly putting new covers on....

Yes they did have covers on them when i got it.. they were pretty ugly.. i was afraid of what i might find under them but as you can see i was very surprised when i took the covers off..

I got a hold of the original owner and the second owner, the seats are all original no work has been done to them.. found a dash for 50 buck last week will be putting that in as soon as i find some replacement gauges.. Put an MP3 CD player in it the other day very nice.. well thanks for the comments. .

Sounds like you have the exact same car as me.. only had mine a week, but it also takes about ten minutes no matter what before i can turn the choke of.. which isnt to bad (until i forget about it being on), will probably have to change spark plugs more often, but would like to fix it. Could you send me a message if you get yer problem fixed? i'll do the same if i get mine fixed. Was thinking of adjusting the carbs, but i realized i didnt know jack about them, will soon enough... I love the car, i wish i would've bought one sooner.. http://www.240z.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=2683#post2683 pics of car.

Hello all.. Just wanted to share some pics of my Z i just bought. I'm the third owner, and as far as i can tell everything on it is stock. Not too sure on the seats though, as this is my first Zcar i cant tell if the seats that are in it are the originals or not, if they are they are in wonderful condition, as is most the car, with the ocasional rust spot, one small hole on the passenger side floorboard. Had all the Org. HubCaps but missing 5 emblems.. I traded my 85' Chevy suburban even steven for it, think i got the better end of the deal the Burban was on its last leg.. anyway, here are some pics.
