thanks, the z is a 04 with 60k miles, and yes ,when i sold the 240 i kept the nitrous kit,i already did some research on the nitrous section, but i find hard to believe that i couldn't locate a tread about reading plugs to tune the nitrous,anyway i'll see what i can do open up a tread about the install

Don't buy new headlights yet. Try wet sanding the paint off starting with 1200 working your way up with 1500 then 2000. Then buff the headlights. Should look good as new.

my headlights have weird looking 'drip' stains that appear to be on the inside??

either way, i was thinking to just replace mine as well = /

+1 for selling the 240 and getting a 350. The first year the 350 came, i told my wife i was gonna nab one as soon as they hit 10k...

I like the zenki s14s, but i'm always an s13 guy

Congrats on the Z man, I come from a lot of 240s before the Z and miss my s13 and s14 everyday. Now you went from a LS S14 to a Z.....i dont know if I could have done that.

Must have been a leak somewhere and condensation built up inside. It happens, but unless it keeps happening, there is no real need to fix unless you want to.

I went the other way around, ditched the 350Z car in favor of the 240SX, more potential, more reasonable priced parts, plenty of knowledgeable people out there willing to help me with the new project, & a hell of a lot less $$$ for more HP.

Welcome aboard, hope you won't be sorry with your choice.

You should be fine, I recently bought some tail lights where the guy tried to smoke them and messed it up. I used a different process but I sanded it with 600 and finished with 800. Then sprayed some clear base mixed with some black base I had laying around and cleared them, came out fine.

You could even get away with starting with 1000 as long as you stop when you start getting to the plastic. Depending on how much paint is on there, it might take a while to sand with 1200.

You must be new to the 240 community...have fun on zilvia, mang, it's full of tools don't waste time asking any questions, just search or you'll get lots of crap.
