Tell them you are driving your Datsun, and then you call and say your car stopped running in a small town called Canby!!!!!
Actually, I must agree with those that have claimed a great time at the...
Seems someone told me that, on the 240Z anyway, the wiring harness from the MT won't work on the AT. I can't say from personal experience, cause I haven't swapped to an Auto. Might be worth the...
Kudos, Randy, on the new paint and the deal. You've got a beautiful car there. I'd be proud to own it as I'm sure you are. Especially since, you've made the effort and investment.
HI Dave,
Really nice effort, but I think one row of LEDs doesn't cut it. The last pic is pretty nice
Greg,
The swap will not require any cutting into the '72 and '73 240s. Only the series one cars '70 and early '71 need the opening expanded. I thought it was because the shifter on the tranny sat...
Got a spare $30k lying around. FYI

I believe anything you can apply with a syringe will give you a very poor appearance. I saw why mine looked so bad after removing it. 3 different types of adhesive, 2 of which were a tube product. It...
I have the Tokico setup with their springs and 5 way struts. In my wife's car, it is too stiff. I have ridden in Beandips car and think this is the best solution for a fun street driver. I am...
Hey Arne,
Looks like the plan is coming together. Really looks great. Just a thought. Maybe thats an easier way for me to get the headline glue off for that new headliner ;)

I happened to get a pic of James personal car. He had 2 other very nice cars, a Z31 and Z33, but I didn't get pics of them. Enjoy.
Why have I not seen this thread before. Oh well, my favorite.
Last year I went fishing with Salvador Dali. He was using a dotted line. He caught every other fish.

I have insured by them. Never been dissapointed.
They don't like it if you want to drive your car to work once in a while, even to show it off. Not sure what would ever happen if there was an...
So Bruce,
If there are about 100 cars registered for the judging, you think it will top 200 cars? I bet it will beat 200 by quite a few. What is the goal? How many will fit in the area rented?...
Perhaps I can tow the Silver with the Burgandy. LOL,
In the 2 previous Canby events, a great time was always had. Good Datsun/Nissan folk from all over the western US and Canada. In 2005 a...
Nice Link Juan, I had not seen this club site before. I appreciate it.
Congrats. Your Z looks great. Can't wait till my project looks so good.
I agree, no need for an R200 unless you are a serious racer with a built engine. The R200 needs the mustache bar from a 280Z to install.
Some say the truck front diff, when installed in the back...
The folks at MSA should be able to match a set for you.
Arne replaced his brand new Mulhollands with the KYB. The Mulhollands were too stiff for him. They were similar to the Tokico HPs. Send him...
Austen,
I need to clarify my earlier comments, and make it a bit more positive. I read on the datsunsnw.org club website, that there is no registration on the day of show. That doesn't mean we are...
#1 visited site in this household. All you Z lovers are the best. You really help keep up the enthusiasm.
Yes, I have changed out the front bushings, except the steering coupler. That is where my question is aimed. Sorry if I misunderstood your comments.
Haven't registered yet. Not sure if I will or not. Seems to be so hard and fast, rules wise, it just turns me off. Thinking I may pass and do the Blue Lake thing instead. I would probably show to...
I'd love to hear your results in feel after you finish the steering coupler. I decided against changing it because I thought the damping of the rubber would be preferred. Please let me know your...
