My 4runner has a rubber flap thingy hidden behind the side of the rear bumper. It is there to prevent your ears from popping when you slam the doors shut. Most newer cars have something like this to vent internal pressure. I don't think you would ever have to worry about that with the Z. Maybe when they were new....

Can anyone recommend a good car cover for the Z? My Z will be parked outside under my carport and I want to keep it as protected as possible. I live 3 blocks from the ocean in a fairly foggy area. I'd like to keep moisture out and prevent it from getting trapped inside as well. Suggestions, comments? Sorry guys, I tried searching multiple times but I keep getting the folowing error: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted at (null):0 (tried to allocate 1024 bytes) in /home/httpd/vhosts/classiczcars.com/httpdocs/forums/search.php on line 839

Linky is working now. I forgot to close my title tag. Doh!

Well guys, I finally found the Z 4 me. I am soooooo stoked! I have wanted one of these since I was 16yrs old and I just turned 40. I just picked it up tonight. It's a 73' with 78,000 original miles purchased from the original owner, who bought the car new from the dealer in 1973 when HE was 40yrs old. This car has been very well cared for. It looks like it has been in a time capsule for the last 20yrs or so. No rust to be found on the body and only surface rust on the underbody. Unbelievable! I'm going to have lots of questions! Here's a pic. There's more at the URL below. Click here for more pics of my new 1973 Datsun 240Z

I dont' know if this has been mentioned in other threads or not but there is a real danger here of carbon monoxide poisoning. If you're not familiar with this you might want to read up on it. Basically, the Carbon Monoxide(CO) enters your bloodstream through your lungs and bonds with the oxygen(02) molecules, preventing the O2 from being absorbed by your vital organs which includes your heart and brain. This can lead to all kinds of bad things. Since CO is colorless and odorless, you may already be exposed even if you can smell the exhaust fumes. Take this very seriously.

Love that avatar Beandip. That's my favorite airplane of all time.

Thanks for the welcome guys. I've already been looking on Craigslist and may have found one candidate already. I have always hears that the running gear on the 240Z is more sports car oriented that the others? Is there any truth to this? What's the main differences I should be concerned with between the 240, 260, and 280. I have been searching but still can't any one stop shop comparison. Pointers would be helpful. Maybe I'm just searching with the wrong terms.

Hello everyone. My name is Adam. Just thought I'd give out a shout to all of you in Zland. About me: I live in Santa Cruz, CA. I'm a single father of a 13yo child and recently totaled a new motorcycle so I'm thinking of making a change. I'll soon be in the market for a 240Z so I wanted to learn all I could. I have wanted one of these cars since I was a wee little boy. Besides, I need something to tinker with to keep my sanity. I haven't even started looking around the forum but I think I found the right place. Cheers,
