I'm sorry for beating a dead horse, but......Does anyone make a NEW datsun wiring ha
Nope. I looked extensively about 6 years back. Unlike some other cars (my old MG comes to mind), brand new harnesses are not available. Not enough market to justify the development cost.

240z strut cartridge recommendations
KYBs will be softer than the Tokicos, but if the car is lowered they may not last long. There have been mixed results with KYBs on cars with reduced suspension travel.

240z strut cartridge recommendations
I ran the GR-2 inserts with my Euro Stage 1 springs, I felt the ride was fine. Firm, but not harsh. I'd recommend the KYBs as a good match with those springs. But have you researched the ride height issue with those Euro springs? You will need to cut them down to even get to stock ride height, which is still significantly higher than the Eibachs you now run.

What wheels should I buy?
VTO LeMans. Only in 15", but I guarantee that with the right size tires you can still fill the fenders.

pertronix ignitor question!?!
Gap is fixed on the Pertronix Ignitor for the Nissan L-series engines. You will need to reset the timing after install, though.

Zcon 2012
If I still had mine, I would. From here that would be about 12-1300 miles each way. That's do-able.

$1,000 reward for this rim !!!!!
You might want to keep an eye on the Wheels-for-sale area on the AE86 forums. Lots of odd old-school stuff there. Might get lucky. (I expect a finder's fee if this works. ) http://forums.club4ag.com/zeroforum?id=22&days=20&page=1

BRE/Interpart Catalog Online?
The Brocks are VERY protective of their trademarks and copyrights, so I really doubt that you'll find one posted online anywhere. Could be wrong, but I'm betting not.

70-74.5 or 74.5-xxx
Easiest is the bumpers. 74.5+ have big, impact bumpers (like a 280Z) with black rubber accordions on the sides.

- motor swap options
I suspect the OP is talking about 240SX engines into an S30. In any case, for engine swap info, the place to go is http://hybridz.org but be warned - they aren't friendly to noobs who just pop in and ask very basic questions like this. They expect you to research and read the previous info.- Early Series Shift Boots
Moved to Group Buys forum. FYI - I had one of Bryan's boots in my car. Excellent reproduction, highly recommended.- goodbye
The notch is there to clear the fuel lines that run in the tunnel. I can't recall which side they are on, but just make sure the notch is on the side with the fuel lines.- How to Remove Shifter / Console - Dropping Tranni.
I didn't see this thread until now. Sorry, could have saved you some head-scratching. Removing the lever as you did is the correct method for the Type A transmissions as used in '70 & '71. You done good.- $1,000 reward for this rim !!!!!
First, remember that the particular style you are looking for was made by several companies back in the '70s. I do not know how many of them made the deeper dish wide version. But none of those companies have made them in over 30 years. There probably aren't many people working at these places that are old enough to remember that they used to make them. In fact, the company has probably changed ownership several times since those wheels were last built. Trying to get info on a 30+ year old wheel from a current manufacturer is a total waste of time. Frankly, not even close. That is a painted stamped steel wheel.- Mystery coolant leak from above the Transmistion

Randy, I cut 3/4" off the one I used. See here - http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?36463-R-T-diff-mount-Group-Buy&p=310484&viewfull=1#post310484- What type of wheels are these?
Look like Rotas to me. That offset is a bit high, will probably need spacers to clear the strut tubes.- help me I must have this car ,it is in my back yard
Thread moved to the non-Z part of the forums.- $1,000 reward for this rim !!!!!
Speaking as someone who sold custom wheels in the late '70s, I can say without doubt that they are rare today because they weren't very popular at all back in the day. Most people didn't care for them, and so not many were sold compared to the other styles of the day.- eBay $69.99 240z Complete Power Antenna: Too good to be true?
A fully-auto antenna requires modification to work with the manual antenna switch. That one is a generic aftermarket antenna that will fit, but the visible parts are not original looking, if that's important to you. That price also seems a bit high to me. I had a similar full-auto antenna in my car when I installed the vintage Supertuner. Mine was a Harada HR-33, IIRC. I paid all of $30 or so for it locally.- What is it? Series I or Series II?
As it should be - the E31 was used from 69 though the Late 71 Model Year Z's. Series I and Series II. Again worth noting that Nissan phased out the E31 head before the 1972 models were released. Some of the latest of the late '71 cars got the first variation of the E88 head. My 4/71 parts car had the E31, but my 7/71 car had the E88. (Side note - there were at least 4 different variations of the E88 head.)- What is it? Series I or Series II?
Doesn't seem right to use the whole car like I used to, seeing as how it's not my car anymore. And somehow using my Porsche here doesn't fit either. But I'm tired of the text avatar too....
