btw....which Z are you looking at in north hills?

im going to north hills to look at a Z this weekend...thats the only time i may be able to pick u up. hope it helps at all

whats your price range zmefly? i know of quite a few 240's here in southern california, some very nice ones for around 2000-3500...but that might be to much for you...

whew...i thought it was something i downloaded! its pretty annoying MAKE IT GO AWAY!

o man...530HP and 580ft-lbs!!!! thats one helluva beast

i found those vids on Kazaa/Morpheaus...theres a few other Z vids on there too

i think the logo would jump off a black background pretty welll...

my friend built a wood cover for the spare-tire well and put a sub (not sure how big) in the well pointing upwards...it sounded killer. he also lined the well with some thick, carpet-like stuff so it didnt have a metallic sound to it. pretty nice but alot of work...but those bass tubes are pretty sweet also

dont like the look of it...and also youll have a hard time running 10.5 compression on normal fuel....10.5 is about the max that street fuel can run.

were are you planning to put the speakers? the Sony XPLOD series is awesome for in-door speakers and also if you put 2 6x9's in a MSA like box (i had built my own). the SOny XPLOD also has one of the best amplifiers on the market. they will all work with the Alpine HU.

Hey all. My name is Grant, im 16 and live in Orange County, CA. I WAS a proud owner 72 240z until the big accident and am currently on the prowl for one right now. The first time I saw a 240z, at age 10, i decided that i was going to buy that car no matter what. Summer rolled around after my 16th birthday and i worked my arse off, saved just enough and got a crazy deal on a 240z. It didnt have much done to it yet, but the previous owner had put Toxico struts, Eibach springs, anti-sway bars, 280zx 5-speed, electronic ignition, and NO rust or bondo (thats what you get on Southern California ) I had that Z for about 5 monthgs and the original L24 threw a rod, I couldnt find another L24, so i decided on a 82 L28 i found for $300. I had if for TWO days with the L28 when i rolled her, that was probably the worst day of my life, i loved that car and i was proud of it. All the car guys at school loved it and i got so many compliments from people at stop lights and gas station, but thats all over now . Oh well...thats it about me, nothing interesting yet! Grant

i had an Alpine HU model number CDE-7856. i had no apparent problem slipping it into the stock hole without cutting, but no guarantees. i dont know if the hole was previously modified or not (but the radio did look like the stock radio) if it doesnt fit, just take her back.

i was using an Alpine HU in my Z. i dont know what the exact model is right now, ill find the box and let u know. i also built my own version of the MSA box for two 6x9's...the bass is pretty good without a subwoofer in it.

has anyone done the MSA power windows conversion (internal), for the 240z? I am interested in doing this when i get my next Z, however there are a few questions in my mind... 1) how difficult is the installation? 2) where is the switch wired to? 3) are they efficient? (moving speed) 4) disadvantages?

what does a "european tone" sound like. ive hear the term used before but i am curious as to what it is. any examples?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/ebayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1813154393&r=0&t=0 Take a look at this 72 Z for me everyone. After having my other Z totalled, i am in need for a new Z and im looking for 240 naturally. I live about an hour away from her and i am going to go see it on Saturday morning to take a good look at it. Im just wondering if its even worth looking at. The seats inside are POS's, but i have my original 72 seats so thats not a problem. For 2500 this seems like a good deal and leaves some room to work on it. Thanks all!

i am in orange county so its like a 15 min drive for me. im still thinking about whether or not im going...it depends if i have another Z by then and how much money i have left over. i would certainly be willing to lend a hand with promotion if i decide to go

i ditto that statement... it was hard to see my Z all destroyed...it felt like i lost a part of me, it was terribly depressing. but life must go on...only to get another Z!

what i mean to say instead of "liability collsion comp" was liability and collision comp. the fault of the wreck has not yet been determined...but collision compensation covers any damage to the car. i got 5100 for a car that i only paid 2400 for

when i had my Z i had liability collision comp...when i wrecked it i got 5100 for the car, but i only paid 2400 for it. i have state farm...but u should be able to get collision comp with anyone (unless youve got a crappy driving record)

ive seen a bunch of carpet kits on ebay...ill see if i can find the links for ya

btw...what exactly does it mean when they say a "european" tone? im not sure exactly how it sounds...any examples?

yup that one works
