RebekahsZ Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I need to buy new or rebuilt, but it looks like nobody has one. Plus, the "rebuilt" I bought from Rock Auto a few years ago is totally shot. So, if you have a 240z rack that has no play in it, I need it if you can part with it. Please grab the inner tire rod on each side and yank it up and down looking for play in all directions-I don't want to swap junk for junk. I can clean it up if it's dirty, but I'm going to be road racing (just track days, really) with this rack, so please check the tightness of your unit out as best you can. Thanks for checking your stash to help a brother. Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RebekahsZ Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) OK guys, thanks SOO much for checking your inventories, but stand down for the moment. datsunpartsllc.com just called me and he found a rebuilt 240z rack. He already has my money from my first attempt to buy from him and he isn't charging shipping and is floating the core charge to his rebuilder on the honor system. So, I'm going to follow thru with him. If the deal gets blown-up, I will get back to you guys. 1 tuff z also has a '71 with a documented 113k miles and a good inspection. Don't do anything at the moment. I REALLY appreciate the fast responses-it sucks having the car down during racing weather-I love hybridz. Jamal, I have looked at that ultrasound video for a couple of years and only just now figured it out-love it! Get that kid a HANS restraint system! My new konis do make me feel like shaken baby syndrome! I just read my original post and saw that I didn't include any background. When I realized that my rack was FUBAR, I went internet shopping for a rebuilt rack and datsunpartsllc.com had one. But when the owner checked his inventory he found that he had made an inventory error and in fact had no rack to sell me after I paid him. I wasn't mad-I've done the same thing honestly but accidentally. So, we worked out a refund and I posted the WTB ad here on the forum. Unbeknownst to me, he kept looking for a rack on my behalf in order to fill the order-and he found one this afternoon.

borini63 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Cool, glad that you found your Rack. Keep them running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebekahsZ Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 I think it is important to say that even though there was some trouble with the order from datsunpartsllc.com, I have used them several times and have been pleased to use them. I'm not upset and I will use then again in the future if they have what I need. He hustled for me once the error was identified. I have a tracking number to receive the part on Monday.
