Got em put on yesterday. It's true - they rock! (yes my air cleaner box is ugly - I'm workin on it)..

Saint - my man . . . . . If you can stitch one up I'll gladly pay less than $42 for it.....Unless....Moonpup wants to hook me up with a nice deal... D

Whoa whoa whoa Saint. My thread - don't I get first crack at it? Whaddya thing on price pup? Can you PM me? d

I've never seen one of these on Ebay or in any catalog. Does anyone have, or know where I would get one of these leather-like harness covers for the passenger side as pictured? Thanks...

I'd like to see the next wave of new Z's take on a retro look like they just did with the Mustang. I'd buy one for sure.

What year(s) do they belong to? The catalog lists 70-73 but I'll bet they've been wrong before..

I am constantly poring over parts catalogs looking for any missing pieces to make my 70/71Z as complete and original as possible. I grabbed my new Black Dragon catalog and saw something I hadn't noticed before. Take a look at page 24 in the Rear Bumper section for 70-73 240Z's. Part #'s are 98-052 and 98-053. They look like rubber pieces that slide under the ends of the rear bumper. I have been all over looking for pictures of 240Z's and can't find any with such a part. What are these things and are they and original part? Thanks....

Just got the box from ZTherapy. My God these are things of beauty.....

Good point. The handle does not actuate the parking brake and I am not sure why. The entire mechanism could be disconnected for all I know. Question: If the parking brake doesnt work does that mean the rear brakes are out? I would imaging they can function separately.... Please advise - this sounds a bit important. D

I've heard they aren't worth anything. Why don't you go ahead and ship it to me?? (Think the Jedi Mind Trick works over the web??)

Well it worked! Thank you.... Now if only the actual e-brake itself worked. . . . . That's next.

Thanks for the response. I just found a lone wire coming out of the rocker panel area but it has been cut clean off. Before I run a new connection to the ebrake switch I just want to be sure....Are there any other wires that come out of there or can I be reasonable sure this one is for the e-brake light??? Thanks..

I've got a '70Z and the switch for the e-brake light is in place but the connector is not connected. Where does that guy connect? I couldn't spot anything nearby... Thanks

Here are a bunch of deep thoughts..... It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man. One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. "Oh, no," I said. "Disneyland burned down." He cried and cried, but I think that deep down, he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late. A good way to threaten somebody is to light a stick of dynamite. Then you call the guy and hold the burning fuse up to the phone. "Hear that?" you say. "That's dynamite, baby." If I lived back in the wild west days, instead of carrying a six-gun in my holster, I'd carry a soldering iron. That way, if some smart-aleck cowboy said something like "Hey, look. He's carrying a soldering iron!" and started laughing, and everybody else started laughing, I could just say, "That's right, it's a soldering iron. The soldering iron of justice." Then everybody would get real quiet and ashamed, because they had made fun of the soldering iron of justice, and I could probably hit them up for a free drink. I bet when the neanderthal kids would make a snowman, someone would always end up saying, "Don't forget the thick, heavy brows." Then they would all get embarrassed because they remembered they had the big hunky brows too, and they'd get mad and eat the snowman. Fear can sometimes be a useful emotion. For instance, let's say you're an astronaught on the moon and you fear that your partner has been turned into Dracula. The next time he goes out for the moon pieces, wham!, you just slam the door behind him and blast off. He might call you on the radio and say he's not Dracula, but you just say, "Think again, bat man." Too bad you can't buy a voodoo globe so that you could make the earth spin real fast and freak everybody out. I wish I had a Kryptonite cross, because then you could keep both Dracula AND Superman away. I don't think I'm alone when I say I'd like to see more and more planets fall under the ruthless domination of our solar system. Dad always thought laughter was the best medicine, which I guess is why several of us died of tuberculosis. I hope if dogs ever take over the world, and they chose a king, they don't just go by size, because I bet there are some Chihuahuas with some good ideas. I bet the main reason the police keep people away from a plane crash is they don't want anybody walking in and lying down in the crash stuff, then, when somebody comes up, act like they just woke up and go, "What was THAT?!" The face of a child can say it all, especially the mouth part of the face. I'd rather be rich than stupid. If you define cowardice as running away at the first sign of danger, screaming and tripping and begging for mercy, then yes, Mr. Brave man, I guess I'm a coward. I bet one legend that keeps recurring throughout history, in every culture, is the story of Popeye. When you go in for a job interview, I think a good thing to ask is if they ever press charges. To me, boxing is like a ballet, except there's no music, no choreography, and the dancers hit each other. We tend to scoff at the beliefs of the ancients. But we can't scoff at them personally, to their faces, and this is what annoys me. To me, clowns aren't funny. In fact, they're kind of scary. I've wondered where this started and I think it goes back to the time I went to the circus, and a clown killed my dad. Most people don't realize that large pieces of coral, which have been painted brown and attached to the skull by common wood screws, can make a child look like a deer. If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason. Better not take a dog on the space shuttle, because if he sticks his head out when you're coming home his face might burn up. If you're a horse, and someone gets on you, and falls off, and then gets right back on you, I think you should buck him off right away. If you ever fall off the Sears Tower, just go real limp, because maybe you'll look like a dummy and people will try to catch you because, hey, free dummy. I'd like to see a nude opera, because when they hit those high notes, I bet you can really see it in those genitals. If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is "Probably because of something you did." Laurie got offended that I used the word "puke." But to me, that's what her dinner tasted like. We used to laugh at Grandpa when he'd head off and go fishing. But we wouldn't be laughing that evening when he'd come back with some whore he picked up in town. I wish a robot would get elected president. That way, when he came to town, we could all take a shot at him and not feel too bad. If you're a young Mafia gangster out on your first date, I bet it's real embarrassing if someone tries to kill you. If you go parachuting, and your parachute doesn't open, and you friends are all watching you fall, I think a funny gag would be to pretend you were swimming. Children need encouragement. If a kid gets an answer right, tell him it was a lucky guess. That way he develops a good, lucky feeling. Whether they find a life there or not, I think Jupiter should be called an enemy planet. Instead of trying to build newer and bigger weapons of destruction, we should be thinking about getting more use out of the ones we already have. I think a good gift for the President would be a chocolate revolver. and since he is so busy, you'd probably have to run up to him real quick and give it to him. Just because swans mate for life, I don't think its that big a deal. First of all, if you're a swan, you're probably not going to find a swan that looks much better than the one you've got, so why not mate for life? If you're robbing a bank and you're pants fall down, I think it's okay to laugh and to let the hostages laugh too, because, come on, life is funny. If you ever catch on fire, try to avoid looking in a mirror, because I bet that will really throw you into a panic. I think the mistake a lot of us make is thinking the state-appointed shrink is our friend. I believe in making the world safe for our children, but not our children's children, because I don't think children should be having sex. If you're in a war, instead of throwing a hand grenade at the enemy, throw one of those small pumpkins. Maybe it'll make everyone think how stupid war is, and while they are thinking, you can throw a real grenade at them. The next time I have meat and mashed potatoes, I think I'll put a very large blob of potatoes on my plate with just a little piece of meat. And if someone asks me why I didn't get more meat, I'll just say, "Oh, you mean this?" and pull out a big piece of meat from inside the blob of potatoes, where I've hidden it. Good magic trick, huh? I think a good product would be "Baby Duck Hat". It's a fake baby duck, which you strap on top of your head. Then you go swimming underwater until you find a mommy duck and her babies, and you join them. Then, all of a sudden, you stand up out of the water and roar like Godzilla. Man, those ducks really take off! Also, Baby Duck Hat is good for parties.

I think they look great - I live in Scottsdale and need some of these decals. How can we hook up? Do you go to the Pavilions show?

We've taken to calling mine Yoko. She's from Japan and as far as my wife is concerned can be very distruptive to our relationship.....

Is there something wrong with me if I think it is kinda cool? I am going for an all original restoration but there is something so cheesy about this car that I love it.

Mine has the round hangers. # 14160 12/70 production date...

I was out taking some pictures and decided to switch to black and white. I think these look cool, hide some imperfections, and remind me of what a classic car we all enjoy. Thought I'd share....

I'm interested. I live in Scottsdale. Ever go to the Pavilions show when the DZA is there?

Bought a carpet kit for my 70Z on Ebay from Too Intense and it fit and looked great and was a better price than VB or MSA. Try this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Datsun-240Z-5pc-Deluxe-Carpet-Kit-Loop-Pile_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ46093QQitemZ4521507831QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW
