SU Carb Sync Kit 1 2

Hi everyone, I ran across this carb sync kit that is made by a Rolls guy and will work for our SU's. I should have it by the weekend but if you're like me and are looking for an option other than the uni-sync you might want to check it out: https://www.britishtoolworks.com/product-page/su-h6-carburetor-synchronizing-kit I think this will be more accurate (for myself anyway) since you can measure both carbs at the same time, sort of similar to the original SU carb tuning with the metal rods. Cheers

Hey guys. I'm new to the Z car world. I inherited a "barn find" '73 240 this week. It was my grandfathers and it has been tucked away in his barn for 25 years. I had actually forgotten about the car. Anyway, it is mine now and I'm trying to figure out what to do with it. Should I restore it or just sell it. I don't have a tremendous amount of time to work on it so I'm kind of torn on what to do. It is completely all original. Interior is in good shape (needs a good cleaning). It only has 35k original miles and only a few spots of surface rust. I gave it a wash and it looks pretty solid. Planning on pulling the plugs tonight to be sure the engine will rotate. An…

Looking to replace spark plugs wires. I want to reroute them around the front of the valve cover so as to clean up the top of the engine. Anyone recommend a universal wire kit? I looked at these on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001BDSVOM/?coliid=I1BQQ5EHLL1OOD&colid=1NGAP9N7LV0Z3&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it https://www.amazon.com/Taylor-Cable-73051-Spiro-Pro-Black/dp/B000CQ006Q/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&keywords=universal+spark+plug+wire+kit&link_code=qs&qid=1549672994&sourceid=Mozilla-search&sr=8-4&tag=mozilla-20

After playing around with my suspension setup and changing my mind a few times as to setting the dial on my adjustable Tokico Illumina struts, I got tired of broken and lost retaining pins for the strut tower covers and decided to fabricate an easy access port for the dial on the top of the rear strut. I used a 2.5" diameter screw cap and "neck" from a juice bottle (hard clear plastic) and adapted it to the strut tower cover. Took about an hour total time (and drinking tons of cranberry juice) but now I can dial in my rear struts as easily as my fronts now.

Now's our chance to be heard. Maybe this time....we can only hope there will be a change California Bill to Exempt Pre-1983 Vehicles from Emissions Inspections Introduced Legislation (A.B. 210) has been introduced to exempt motor vehicles prior to the 1983 model year from emissions inspection requirement. Current law requires the biennial testing of all 1976 and newer model-year vehicles. The bill awaits consideration by the Assembly Transportation Committee.

The cover story in the March Classic Motorsports is “Buy These Cars Now”, and among the 5 up-and-comers is the “economical” 240z in contrast to the “astronomical” Toyota 2000GT. ”How about the Japanese sports car designed for American markets — the one that, thanks to Peter Brock’s BRE team, instantly became an SCCA champion? Yes, we’re talking about the Datsun 240Z. Both Hagerty and Bring a Trailer seem to agree that an early, best-of-the-best-of-the-best 240Z is now worth around $50,000, but many are still trading for tens of thousands less. Our advice here: Buy the cleanest 1970-73 car that you can find.”

I just completed the honda wiper motor upgrade thanks to Zs-ondabrain (knowledge base article) and to and to brandenz (atlanticz tech tip). My restoration is a 1973 240z. When I tore it down there was no boot/bag covering the original wiper motor. I believe you can buy the boot from Banzai for about $70. I also found someone quoting a Nissan part number 28836E4100. I do not know if this number is the real deal. Normal Nissan sites do not recognize this number, but I did find the following: https://parts.bayridgenissan.com/p/Nissan__/COVER---MOTOR/51241601/28836E4100.html. This is a dealer in Brooklyn, NY. Again, there is no image on their site and I do not know if…

I have a 1973 240z that I am restoring. I am trying to re-install the factory electric antenna. It does work. Attached are two photos. The first attempts to show the mounting hardware in the order that I believe the various pieces should be assembled. I tried to show what is above and what is below the quarter panel. The second photo is of the assembled pieces. I believe that I have all of the pieces above the quarter panel. I have two questions: Am I missing any pieces? Just below the quarter panel I have what I believe is a grounding ring. It has prongs that are bent upward to contact the panel when everything is tightened. There is…
