another slick top found...

i was searching my local junk yards and came across a 81 slicktop 2+2... its not that bad of shape could use a new hood and the interior is blue. glass is all good and the engine looks ok. not sure whats wrong with it.. but to find a 2+2 slicktop i was impressed..

seems like they're pretty popular on ebay right now. There's a handful of 79's on there. Any year other then 79 though and slick top is pretty rare to find. I guess everybody wanted t tops when they became available.

I don't like the 2+2 slicktop at all. A 280ZX slicktop is not really that hard to find. A 300ZX slicktop is rare.

My 300zx turbo slicktop was the 397th z31 made and I believe it is still sitting at datsun dynamics unless they finally used the roof on one of their improved touring 300zx cars.

really bleach, we live in WA. tell me you dont get leaks. i hated leaky tops on my z31. cold mornings it took forever to defrost the windows. car felt damp. i had one of those dessicant packs in it just to get the moisture out.

ya, my t-tops leak, and my friend's Z31 is the same. Not much but it is annoying. She has a carport and I have a garage which helps.

I've never heard of a Z32 t-top leaking though. I think they finally perfected the design by 1990.

but I love my t-tops anyway

On a z31, it is usually the sealing compound around the holes for the drains up there.

If you seal them back up to the body, no more leaks.

I find this on z31s a lot more often than the end gap on the t-top seal.
