All work done by Lewis body shop in Manakin, VA. Completely stripped and repainted, with a paint code from a 2003 Maserati. G-Nose installed, painted deep silver and black trim. Added headlight cover directly imported from Japan. They did all this for less than $3500. I recommend the shop, especially since the owner of the shop is a Z car fan, he knows the car quite well. There is no rust on this car. All new rubber around the glass, and new windshield. I know the purists may not like the color, but I preferred the silver/black color scheme. Next, I will redo the upholstery with one of the original black kits.

Good afternoon, Well my 240Z is finally complete; G-nose and fender flares added, all paint and rust stripped off then repainted. I'm very happy with it. This is a 1970, and it is rust free. I even got the G-nose headlight covers shipped to me from my friend who lives in Tokyo. As you can see at the shifter, the original color was green but I have painted it silver and black. Problem is, some exhaust is getting in through the gear shift area. The rubber is completely shot, Any advice on how to replace this? What is the process and what kind of adhesive do I need? Thanks all. Erik

Any idea what they are worth? I'm going to use one for my own car, thinking about buying and selling the other. E

Got a rubber mallet and it popped in, after a little wd40. Thanks everybody! Erik

I thought about that, but figured that forcing it in like that could not possiblyt be the right answer! Cheers, Erik

this is tougher than a Rubik's cube! So I got a new mirror, and I went to install it, but the installation screws are covered by the mount itself. So I can't figure out how to screw the mirror in without some kind of magic tool that can install it right through the piece of solid metal! Any help out there? I can't figure this out. Erik

who can work on a '70z? I need some engine work done and am not much of a mechanic. Erik any suggestions welcome

to Motorsport. Give them a call, 1-800-633-6331. They are in huge demand, and people a alot of $$ for them. I found one on ebay and overpaid for it. Only place I am aware of to buy a g-nose is Motorsport. There is another shop in Canada (called showparts) that makes them, but i wouldnt order from them if I were you. They had no idea about the hinges when I called them, and they have alot of complaints on them on e-bay. Also they don't take caredit cards; you have to pay with a check up front so if they don't ship you have no recourse.

Well, I called Motorsport to order a G-Nose conversion kit, and they said they have the kits but not the hood hinge. Any idea where I might find one? Thanks!

ALl responses appreciated.

She's the one who's gonna lose in the end. You know those band guys. Not well known for the way they treat women. Stop blaming yourself about not sending flowers and go get a better chick.

For what its worth, I got a 70 z with carbs and and l28 and it does 0-60 in about 7.2 secs, tops about 120 mph.

I'm going to top off the tran fluid after I replace the plug. I'd rather get a new one than go to one of these junkyards around here. Do you think the nissan dealer's have these parts?

Yeah, I drove it home (about 12 miles) from the shop after I picked it up. It shifted, but not smoothly. The bolt I am looking at has a square head about 1/2 inch. This is the correct part, right? I see the side one, but on the bottom all I see are threads.:sick: One thing got me thinking - on my way out of the shop when I dropped it off, I saw another Z heading in the direction of the shop - probably a coincidence I rarely see those around here - it got me all paranoid after the malfuctions on my Z after the visit to the shop.

Well, the drain plug is missing on the bottom of the transmission! Any idea where to get one? I noticed the symptoms right after I took my Z to a repair shop for some welding underneath. The one on the side is still there.
