Damn. I wish I knew this was going back up for sale, I'd love to have my old engine back again. I probably spent $3k building that engine. The SU carbs alone, which according to Scott at Z-therapy,...

Some of you remember me, most probably won't. This was my first forum I posted to regularly back in 2000 under the username "Timberwolf". Of course times change and I swapped names to go with the...
Bah. I want a stick. But thanks for the heads up!
Just curious here, as it'll likely be a few years before the wife gives a favorable nod towards me getting a Z again, I know the white interior was something of a rarity; but did it come in the auto...
Yes, but Z owners are rather particular of their cars. Besides, you wouldn't call a Bull Dog a Bull Terrier when going to the vet, yes? Proper namesake helps alot in diagnosis.
I so look forward to that. Sounds like this may be an adventure. :rambo:
So in other words, I am liable to end up with extra cable? The old stereo is going away and a new CD player is going in.
Can you list the exact part numbers?
Alrighty. How difficult is that to change out? And (silly question), is this something you want to buy new or will used work? How much are we talking about here?
Assuming I wanted to do it right, other than the ball joints and the tie rods, anything else up front I ought to consider replacing?
Is the steering rack replaceable? I was also wondering...
I'm getting ready to put in a new stereo and (naturally) antenna in my '75 280Z. Whats the best way to route the antenna cord?
I picked up a fairly nice aftermarket antenna (non-power) but I am...
So a few of you may remember (or not) that my '75 280Z runs like a dream but has a total gonzo of a suspension. In short, its in worse shape than David Hasselhoff's singing career. I'm pretty certain...
I've been wondering the same thing. Thanks for the part#.
Well the edge of the mirror is somewhat noticable on the corners, but its still better than what I had. Of course the $40 I spent was a bit much for a $5 piece of glass, but like I said; its better...
AH!! Its the same guy!
**starts passing around pitchforks and torches**
(and my mirror didn't fit 100% either, but its close enough)
I wish I paid only $7....*grumble*....*complain*.... No I paid $40 for a "replacement mirror" and got it only to find it was just glass. But hey, you win some and you loose some. Here's what I did:
...
Well I finally managed to get the old glass out and the new glass in my rear view mirror case. Got it back in the car, and now the whole assembly feels loose. I know its held in by little metal...
Well I got the glass....or rather I got taken for a ride for the glass. I saw an ebay add for the mirror and missed it. Got emailed back by the guy and he offered me a "2nd chance" at the mirror for...
This is probably my own fault, as I assumed, but shouldn't have. I was referring to the rear view mirror, mounted inside the car. Not the outside mirrors (I've long since replaced those mirrors and...
Hey, was wondering if you would mind posting those pics...I'm still trying to figure this bad boy out...
Yes please do. I probably should say the mirror is out of my '75 280Z, but I've gotten into the habit of saying 240Z since every knucklehead I talk to automatically assumes that when I say 280Z that...
I found a 240Z mirror on the internet (ePay) and it seemed cheap enough. So I bought it. At $40 for a new mirror, I thought it was a great deal. Turns out I looked at the picture and some of the text...
Wow nice find. Good price too.
I'll assume you checked the plugs and the wires, yes? Ran a compression test? Checked the coil for power? Checked the fuel pump? Those cam-powered fuel pumps can be touchy and if its not putting out...
If there is a connection there for the existing cabling to plug into, would I be best just to plug into this, or should I replace it all if I am putting a new antennae and a new stereo in the car?
