So I'm planning to buy a 73 240z, the problem is that the fuel isnt going to the carb making it unable to drive. Can anyone tell me what would I get myself into and what would I need to do to fix the probelm. THANKS Z fans!

First check the fuel pumps to ensure they're working properly. Since you have a 73 there should be two of them. one electric pump up by the gas tank and one mechanical one mounted on the right side of the engine. Good luck with the Z! Chase

good idea to build in stages - get you Parts slowly and make it a dream come true
It was running when I parked... 10 years ago.... Often heard from seller

Look at the VTO offerings. I have the wheels in 16x8 +3 (off of a 72 240Z that was parted) and they will fit fine on my 76 280Z. The 73 did not have coilovers.

I agree. We have some great members.

@Mike

Just remember "Imitation is the sincerest form of flatter". I have a similar yellow and the same bullet mirrors. I love the Rota's on your car although my bumpers will be pure chrome. No strips...

It looks great!!!

Thanks for the pics, Mike. This site helped me in so many ways. I met people from all over the world and visited a few in New Zealand. The Zed is a unique car. There is actually none like it for the affordable enjoyment. I had one back in '74. Traded it for a 3/4 ton 4X4 Chevy p/u when I moved to the mountains. But I never forgot the excitement and love I had for that first car. In 2005 I bought another one and made it mine with new parts, paint, upholstery, etc. My wife calls it the "acceptable mistress".

I actually met you at the MSA show in 2006 when you complimented me on my hat (purchased from this site). This site is by far the BEST Z car site where folks can come and not be snarked on by the old members. The members here are the most helpful of any site I have visited...so THANK YOU! And thanks to the members who make it so good.

Cheers, Mike
