  1. 5speed speed sensor that attaches to the tranny???
  2. Did you ever find one? I think I have one if you are looking.
  3. Driver and passenger headlight assembly? Those cone looking things that the headlight sits in.
  4. Hi All, I am throwing this out there in the hopes that someone has one laying around or knows where I can find one. I have contacted my local dealer and Courtesy Nissan in Tx. No joy on both counts. I have also contacted a Nissan Wholesaler and I was told Nissan doesn't even make the part anymore. I found the number on Carpartsmanual.com and it is a bushing extension for the rear of the tranny where the drive shaft connects. My pal and I are freshening up my 5 speed (this part is for the 4 speed, but I'm hoping it'll work) I have spoken to a few people and they never replaced it when they built theirs (or just got a different rear assembly). I am perfectly fine to go with what I have, but my pal says whenever he rebuilds a tranny (Chevy Guy) that is something that MUST be replaced. I'm a bit of a newbie and don't want to do this again when it's in the car. I have another rear transmission case from a 4 speed that I have taken apart which is better than the 5 speed...but not great. Just looking for opinions. Thanks for your time.
  5. Hi all, I am in the process of finishing up a Ground Control Coilover kit on my 73 and all is going really well. One question, My front strut insulators won't fit over the MR2 Tokico's that I used for the conversion. Can/should I just drill out the center so they will fit over the threaded part of the shaft (so the insulator can fit on it)? I did a search for strut insulators and modifying strut insulators, but nothing came up. The backs fit fine. Thanks for your time.
  6. Send pictures to wolfsburgedition@hotmail.com or just a link to what you have and how much you want for it. I need one with the light holders as I sold my valance a while ago. Thanks.
  7. I know it's been a while since you asked this question, but these look like "Sebring" mirrors that have been modified by taking the base off. I can't swear to it, but they look just like my Sebrings on my VW Gaybriolet. I got mine for about $100 for a pair. If you look on ebay under Sebring mirrors they should "pop up." I hope this helps.
  8. Hey, I really like the way your car looks with that paint job. I am in the process of doing my car from soup to nuts and if you got that for $3K...more power to you. One question, what size are your wheels and do you rub and if so, what did you do about it? Ok, that's more than one question. Thanks for your time.
  9. Looks like you are doing a nice job. What kind (and size) are those wheels?
  10. Hi guys, Not really sure what I should be doing here. When I bought my 73 240 the rear had a nice little crimp in it http://rubyz.shutterfly.com/pictures/14. I was given a patch panel with the car in case I wanted to cut out the bad part and re-weld the new one in. After speaking to a few people who have more knowledge than I do, they suggested that I just bang out the crimp and "fix" it. Well, I banged it out and have a nice little crease toward the wheel well http://rubyz.shutterfly.com/pictures/21. I have tried a hammer and dolly, but...well, let's just say I'm not all that good with it and it's hard to get to...at least for me. I have thought about "lead" or just cutting it like I originally was going to. Please, any ides you have would be greatly appreciated. If you can't see the pictures, please let me know and I'll get that taken care of. Thanks...Justin
  11. Hi all, I am a bit of a newbie in the Z world and I have a few questions about tie rods and ball joints. I just got a shipment from Black Dragon and all the parts are from Taiwan (I don't know what I was expecting). My question is this, is it "OK" to run these Taiwan parts if I'm going to be tracking this car. Mind you, if I'm lucky (really lucky), I'm going to get on the track 3-4 times a year so I know I don't need an AZC front end, but am I risking my life with those parts? I do intend to give this car a proper thrashing...that is why we build them isn't it?? Forum member z-ya was kind enough to hip me to these guys (http://suspension.com/nissan240z.html) and I'm thinking of going that way. I also contacted Courtesy Nissan in Texas and they have OEM, but it's about $400. Yikes!! Any ideas would be helpful. I did do a search and found a few things, but didn't see anything specific to this topic. Thanks for your help.
  12. I have been scraping and using the "whizzer wheel" to get off the easy areas and I have made nice progress. Now I am up to the spots that are hard to reach let alone get something in there to take the undercoating off. Any suggestions? I contacted someone about soda blasting and they quoted me a price of $170 per hour and they thought it would take 2 1/2 hours. Too rich for my blood. I am thinking about sandblasting as my friend has a blaster. Ive been told that sandblasting could warp panels...I'm thinking that in the corners where metal meets it might not be that bad??? Please let me know what you think or has worked for you. Thanks for your time.
  13. Ok, so here is my first official post I guess. I bought this 73 240 off of Mike Englehart in Poughkeepsie, NY in September. Since that time I have been a busy bee stripping it down. I took pictures of everything I have done so far, but haven't posted any of them. Well, here are a few pictures of my poor man's rotisserie. I bought it off a local guy who originally created it for a 280. I had to make some mods so it can fit the 240. Anyway, here are some pictures. I'll try to post some more later.
  14. Ok so I am about to go and get some dry ice so I can take out the sound deadening material inside the car. I am buying it in a 10lb block for like $8. Anyway, my question is should I break it up into small pieces and let it sit there for how long?
  15. You did a really nice job. Excellent work Young Jedi. Too bad you are in Miami and not NY.
  16. I can't lie, those Autometers do look the business. Having messed around with my share of custom work (on VW's) sometimes the best plan is to stick with what it came with, but it's hard to argue with that bada$$ looking dash. Kudos to you.
  17. Do you have any pictures of the install? What problems did you have putting them in? Any suggestions as I want to do the same with some VW MKII seats.
  18. Do you have any pictures of the install? What issues did you run into? THanks
  19. I've been using a chisel and it comes off the tunnel pretty easily, but the floorboards...fuuuget about it. I'm thinking about some dry ice just to see what's up. I'll keep you posted.
  20. HI All, I have taken my doors apart and need to replace the plastic that goes between the door and the door panel. I was thinking, can I just use some plastic from Home Depot or is there some special plastic that I have to get from the dealer? Thanks for your input.
