what to do with a matching pair of 240zs

Hi there.. trying to figure out what to do with a couple of z's that my mom owns. The first was a gift from her dad when she graduated high school... lots of sentiment involved and the second one she bought because the first one didn't run. Both have been sitting neglected for too many years... Long story short she cant bear to look at them sit any longer. Neighbor down the street said I should have them hauled off for scrap.. just wanted an honest second opinion from a fellow lover of all thing

'73 240 Z Dashboard

Hi all, am restoring my dad's 73 240 Z. Had purchased a dashboard replacement, but it doesn't cover the defrost vents. There are 5 brackets for screws under the windshield, but I can't find anything that fits here. Anyone have this issue, and ideas how to solve it? Thanks much, M

240 Turn Signal Problems???

Hello all, Car 1971 Datsun 240z HLS30-22328 I am having rear turn signal problems. I had a hacked up front engine wire harness in the car. I changed it out to a new cleaner un molested harness. I have cleaned all connectors in the car with contact cleaner and a tooth brush and so on. The problem I am having is, when I turn on the signals to go left... Just the front LH signal comes on and not the rear. When I put the signals on to go right. The RH front signal works and both the LH and RH rear c

15 inch tires

I have a set of the original 15x7 american mags but need to purchase tires for them... I have a 1972 240Z and would like to know what size of tires I can safely put on without rubbing the fenders? Do not want a real agressive race tire but want it to look really good... Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Ken Mikkelson new to the forum.

1971 z wiper problem

The wipers on my 71 240z do not work, neirher does the washer. I got a new motor but it will not work either. Checked the fuse in the fuse box under the center console and the fuse is good. Are there fuses anywhere else? How can I check the switch on the steering column.

Horn Button DATSUN label printed

I had a horn button but no badge on it with the word "DATSUN" so I selected a font similar to a real badge and resized it to print at the right diameter to tape to the horn button. See below the asterisks for another print option using a scan of a real badge that I obtained after I originally wrote this. Continuing here, the font selection came out okay, see attached picture of result and the file I printed the word "DATSUN" with. Printing the label on photo paper if your printer supports t

What distributor do I have?

My 1971 240Z had a Jacobs Energy Pak in it when I bought it. A couple of days ago, it died and wouldn't start. Apparently the switch for "Computer" or "Conv Ign" has lived it's full life; there are 3 large cracks in the top of the switch and it kind of crunches when switching from one position to the other. Anyway, I decided to remove the Jacobs and install a Petronix or something. While doing this. I discovered that my L24 does not have the stock distributor. It has a D6K82-01, which I believ

Z clubs in San Francisco Bay area

I'm trying to find Z clubs in San Jose or the San Francisco Bay area. I see on some websites that there is supposedly two clubs of interest, a Northern California club using the web address www.zonc.org and a San Jose club using the web address clubz.org, but neither of these web addresses are currently being used by Z clubs. Does anyone know of current contact info for San Jose or San Francisco area Z clubs?
