i've been looking for a good looking air dam and i've finally found it but im not sure what it is any help?:

EW.... really? i think thezstore.com sells something like that or the same thing.... but.... EWW

you don't like it? i think it's cool plus now i don't need to put on the front bumper

240Z's had an AMAZING bumper. Xenon front and stock bumper = SICK!!!! (good sick) but thats teh msa type III airdamn, someone posted on here just now with pic and he has that front, it looks better on his for somereason

Yeah-eew. That pos doesn't even fit. When MSA came out with that two years ago everyone on this forum trashed it. They have a much better looking one for less $

i thought one of those msa dams needed to be mounted on the bumper, could be wrong though.

The MSA-II for the S130 does... not the S30.

well i want to put an air dam on it but i can't figure out which one any suggestions? EDIT: ok well this is what i want to do ultimately with my 240 body wise i know it's dumb or whatever but it's what i want: http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z...9/WMDevilZ.jpg

SIGH!!!! thats the Xenon front end like i suggested you dousche rag. and ZG flares and fender mount mirrors bre spoiler and blue paint and panasport rims. thats it.

ok thanks ohh and i think im going to take out a loan for $10.000 to do a complete resto on the 240z it's better than taking out a $16.000 loan to buy a new car

i like that look a lot. it's great without the airdam. mini lights and panasports are super expensive though. i think the fender flares do a great improvement

I think the bolt on look is for jeeps and trucks

the airdamn is what makes it. trust me. those lights arent supposed to be there. those are vents for cooling the brakes. they are supposed to be any ways. dont take out a loan. you have NO sense of priority or respect for money do you? 10k loan at your age first off will never happen, second off, you'll never pay it off and it isnt even going to benifit you. and 10k to resto a 240z? WTF?!?!? maybe 2k to resto one. something is sreiously wrong with you lately.

i could do without the exposed bolts too. you need some clip ons like the one's they put on the van in cheech and chongs new movie!

i like the exposed bolts and i wanted to also do a turbo swap to a L28ET in the process

you do know you have to cut your fenders if you put those flares on....its the purpose of them....to give you more space.

yeah i know and i also want to put a new interior and rust repair and to pop the dent out of the side then new paint.

x2... What an UNWISE way to lose $10k. I would rather put $10k on Black in Roulette than take out a loan to restore a car (especially when you're so young & don't have a lot of income yet).

then how much would it take to restore my 240z?

snw, you really know how to make a little bit go a long way on a car resto! i had planned on about 4k for my midget, but even with parts as cheap as they are for it, i ended up close to 6 or 7. and yea, loan at 19= bad news. if you are going to take out a loan for 10k, make it a student loan.

if your in school i don't suggest you build a car. GET YOUR LIFE in a direction and when you have money THEN put it in your toys. You cant really give a exact amount on a project because things change. You can do what most do and do baby steps. little here and their instead of pumping it all out in one time. If this car is gonna be a dd GOOD LUCK. i kept my z in the barn while i worked on it for 2 years. so just gotta be willing to have fun with it. :048:

i did a full resto (almost full:kept the same engine and didn't do much with the interior) on my midget when i was 16-17! so it CAN be done, if you are in the right positon. just don't end up with no money and no car

yeah dude, im a good example, im in college and threw my camry Z32 etc, my turbo 260 was a mistake since i dont have teh freedom to work on it and keep it up nor is it a practical everyday car and i drive to school EVERY DAY. my 280Z was a perfect car to buy.... as far as S30's go. even then, i still dont want an S30 for my car in college. i need something that needs no work AT ALL and i can do stuff to slowly if i WANT to and HAVE the money. i was lucky and spent ALL of my christmas money from EVERY family member on Z stuff. and im very resourceful and had some good connections. this summer i plan to be Z-less. and then see what i want to buy with my new found money. sell your 240 take the 300 if its running and looks as good as hoov has shown and makes it out to be, since you live in CALI you should have no problem daily driving that car. just take car of it save money and when you have enough to do something and still have money left over then you can buy stuff for the car. dont live pay check to pay check. how old are you again? and what do you do? school? job? wage?

im 18 i work at a paint store and make 1320 a month and i don't go to school i only pay 420 a month for rent(plus 300 for 6 months till the 300zx is paid off) and thats about it

then why do you need a loan? sounds like you got plenty of sid money to slowly restor the 240. which you should honestly just sell. for some one that isnt fully independent yet (aka making 40K or abouve) you cant really support t projects like that.


i shall tell you a story


my first car was a 92 toyota camry. i finally put it up for sale and was asking a fair 1k just so it would go fast. i also had another 1300 saved up and was going to get a parent loan and get a new car of my choice. know what happens. i slide 100 feet into the rear of a ford ranger and total my car. there goes 1000 dollars i cant get now. and instead of reporting insurance i pay 1200 for damages to the other guys car out of pocket, so i was broke. i then found my Z32 dream car. get it for a Dream price for the condition it was in 3900. then needed all new suspension setup and did a few other miscellanour repairs (clutch and all new hydraulics for it) and now owe the parents a bit over 5k. start paying it off then get caught street racing. there goes 300 for court, 800 for lawyer and 100 for traffic school. then the compression goes in one cylinder. i mask the effects and sell it for a luck 5k. i then spend 1.5k on an RC project, and then save the rest. i find my 260, i buy it. 1k down. i then put together my turbo kit and dont get the car "reliable" and running perfect till july of 07. then i get a wierd problem, turns out to be electrical connections, but its winter now so i cant drive it anyways. i spend the additional money of mine on insurance and the 280 purchase and now owe the parents a couple hundred. get the paint suspension and exhaust setup for X-mas. you know where the 280 stands, soon im going to over haul the front end and then the suspension and exhaust goes in and then i save for new seat covers to rehapolster it. the car will then be a full resto and hopefully be worth near 10K with only around 3k put into it including purchase. the 260 NEEDS to go. and even though i got the interior cleaned up alot more i just want it gone (even though i love how it pulls) and so once i get a 5speed for it i will sell it for 3k firm. i think a very fair price since i just took the hassle out of a very desired swap, turbo motor into an early S30. and a rust free one at that. now you see, i can barely manage onne car let alone 2 and i live at home and have been doing ALOT of work on these cars so i know ALOT about them. you are still very very new, living on your own making like what... 8 dollars an hour? i know if i went sallary at my 8.50 i would make 17000 a year. some crap like that. you need to prioritize and NOT get into a loan situation unless your buying a house.

where do your Rainbow Brite dolls fit into that story?

that my friend... is a whole nother story, for another day.

...aaah, well keep us posted. :048:

i know what you are saying but i haven't found anyone to buy my z for even 1k and i bought it for about 2k and it's my first car i've wanted a 240z for as long as i can remember and now i have one and i can't keep it. it just gets to me you know snw?

sigh..... $10k loan at 19 to restore a car??? no wonder the economy is in the crapper. spending money you don't have is the fastest way to set yourself up for failure. only loan i have ever taken is for my home, and i will make money off of that.

i know my dad will let me keep it at his house for as long as i want but i don't want it to rust away like his 77 nova and 86 camaro

snw, think your 260 will make it to VA? you said it wasn't reliable, but it sounds rite sweet(i don't care about cosmetics much, as you can tell) and that's really doing something if ou are planning on making 7k off of that 280. restos usually loose money. and by the way, my story is scarily similar to yours. i had a honduh instead of the camery, and didn't wreck it, but traded it for my midget that had been sitting for 12 years. terrible idea. and then i did't get caught street racing and now i have the Z32. other then that, very similar.

you have another car. a better one. just let it go. i have a 260Z that i hand converted to a turbo swap car. you wanna talk about hard to let go?!?!?! and if it was painted like i want it could go for a REALLY good price. instead its winter so no one is in the market, im poor and i gotta get rid of it for 3k. its in better shape than your car! and turbo! and im almost going to get the same amount you paid for it! i think if i found a few clips i needed, and cleaned up the connector one last time and for good luck. it would make it there as long as you didnt beat on it all the way. lol. i mean i have driven it maybe 2k since i got it running right and the only problem it has had was needing the connections cleaned, so if the buyer had a pin to re-bend the connections some electric cleaner spray (all for just incase) it could make it accross the country im sure. its not that it breaks, and un-realiable is not even fit for it. more like, its sensative right now. but i got it all running and even after it sat in the deep freeze we had here it still started right up. lost its charge once but that was from the cold and lack of driving thanks also to the cold.

it's hard for me to let go of my first car when i know that if i fix the carbs it'll run

resto's if done with thought will always make money. and dont sell a non running car. get the carb's fixed or buy ones already known to run and then sell the car.

i will but im not sure what i want to do. i want to wait till im done paying off hoov then see how i am financially and if i can do a slow resto then i will but if not then i'll sell

dude i hate to say it, but i strait up disagree. i work in a british car resto shop. he does cars that total a bill of 70k+! granted, labor is a lot, but then that car is only worth 25-30k when re sold. even if it's not done at a shop, i think restos usually loose money. honestly, what you're doing isn't a full resto. it's a big reconditioning or partial resto. frame offs loose money. when a car gets a frame off with a new engine and everything, you can't get as much out of it as you put in. you do a cheap resto to make money. this is in no way a bash or anything. it's just that full restos really do loose money. if you get a car that's already a good mechanical base and do a cosmetic restoration, then you can make money, because cosmetics seem to be worth so much on old cars.

and i think i might like your 260. when are you planning on advertizing and putting it up for sale? or is it already? want a z32? jkjk

its for sale right now. i can get some updated interior pics and a video up for you. and thats british cars and in a shop. im doing this myself. so i source my own parts, do ALL my own labor. there for it renders money. if i paid a shop to do what ive done so far and plan on doing in the next few weeks i woulda spent prolly near 5k without the car purchase.

yea i know. i did say "even if it's not in a shop". i still stand by: full restos loose money/partial restos or cosmetic freshening makes money. yea put up some pics. i can't watch a video though. but i can't get my 300 sold for a week or 2 if i do really decide to jump on this, so i doubt i could. i thought you were going to put it up for sale in a bit. after you got the 5 speed in it

if it goes for 3k ill just get the tranny and send it with or install it for the buyer for the price of the tranny itself. lol. its for sale and has been for a while, i just stopped pushing sales since winter time. you can get the vid to work, its not steaming it buffers, so you can click the vid hit play once it reads buffer hit pause and let it load. only reason i dont have the tranny now is cause my job hasnt paid me, and also, i kinda am commited to buying a flywheel as well. lol. plus getting the tranny is one hell of a drive. prolly 4-5 hours one way.

p.s. do you go to school? use a school computer they all have high speed connections.

hmmm. i'll see. i like it. i really think i ought to sell mine before it costs another $2-3K

how is the suspension and stuff? u-joints? shocks? tires? half shafts? haha it might even have a solid axle for what i know.

shocks are getting soft. u joints perfect no knocking no rusting. sam with all the shafts and rotating parts. and no japanese car had a solid axle as far as i know. they are half shafts. tires have tread but are aging so are starting to develop some dry rot, at least i have a suspicion. honestly there is nothing wrong with the car. just needs love. some body seals cause it still has a small leak somewhere on the drivers side. needs paint, well should get paint doesnt need it persay. shocks should be replaced soon cause they are getting soft. thats it. i have a moustache bar for the bigger R200 rear diff i can include with it and a perfect condition rear hatch glass with trim all pristine. i got alot of parts, i even have a R200 rear diff i can send with it probably. lol. and i can send the extra Z shock tower so you can use the stub axles and the half shafts for the complete rear diff swap. shit, i should do it myself, but im lazy. lol. i have lots and lots of parts the buyer could choose from.

first cars are easy to let go, i let mine go right into the front of an expedition...

dude, there's something with fords. i let my first car go into the rear of a ranger, and i hit a bronco with the Z32. but just barely, only left a small gowge in the front bumper that i fixed asap looked good as new.

i hit the side of his front clip doing 55 and bent his over about 4" and well, just plain bent my car..

i sold my first car...:)

this isn't helping guys im going to keep it with my dad's other cars and do a slow cosmetic resto

you must hate money.
