putting the chrome windshield molding back on
280Zone replied to tickwon's topic in Body Kits & Paint
The bad news is the trim is supposed to go it the weatherstripping after the glass but before the weatherstripping is in the car. Trying to put it in when the winshield is in the car will lead to some torn up weatherstripping. -
Your post is confusing, header says 76 but the post says 77? 77 and 78 are the same, 76 might be different.

I got an email from someone on this topic and they said they had swapped them before and it was not any problem. It appears that the unit got stronger in the later years but they are interchangeable.

should i buy these or stick to stock?

I heard that the "quick ratio" steering knuckles are really just early 240 knuckles. I heard this after I bought the "quick ratio" knuclkes. I do like them though. -
TheS30 must have been available after 78 in New Zealand. Most of what you are probably seeing in catalogs are based on the cars here in the states. It sounds like you should be looking to buy 78 parts from them.

If you decide to go with ZT's carbs or their rebuild let me know. I have a gift certificate from them I need to get rid of. 280Zone@cox.net

If you need a replacement switch let me know, I have a few extras. 280Zone@cox.net

Does the NZ at the end of your post mean New Zealand? If so that might explain a few things.
-
Thanks for that review, I've been thinking about getting one of those but figured it wouldn't work too good.

We need a few more details here. which window are you talking about and what year car?
-
That is correct about the gas shocks, 240's had one and later they started putting on two. I could be wrong but I asked a seasoned Nissan mechanic once and he told me they were the same in size and mounting. I guess I better not sound so sure of myself just yet. Oh yea one other thing the 2+2 hatches will NOT fit the coupes.
-
Thaey are the same over all. The early 240's had vertical window defroster lines and external air vents below the window. But none of those things will keep you from bolting on any first generation hatch.

Nice job removing the extra crap on the intake. How much was the powder coating?

You can build the car either way. If you build the couple you remove part or the rear tub. Check out John Washington's kits. http://www.reactionresearch.com/automotive.html

Check out your local Z car club, sometimes it helps to see some completed cars for motivation. http://www.DesertZAssociation.com DZA Prez

I think the camaro headlights are a bit taller. I've seen a zcar with the camaro headlights and they look different.
-
prices seem in the ball park. I have seen the unpainted ones sell for around that much, not sure if the paint helps or hurts the value. It would also help the value if you have the center caps.
-
want to post you request here. http://www.desertzassociation.com we are all local.

I see them on ebay all the time. I think there is a set there now.
-
This is not well known but some of the Nissan trucks have the longer wheel studs that are the same thread count and pitch. They are about 1/4" longer. Sorry I don't what year to ask for though.

The wing is aluminum, and yes people can sit on them, supposedly very structurally sound. Yes the "bumps" were installed on the street cars to mimic the modification to the racing versions to allow for tire clearance.

Very cool, that's a keeper! Thanks for the posting!
