I've been working on my favorite car ( The 240Z ) for a few years now. It's finally driveable. I knew nothing about working on cars when I started. Engine work, electric, body work, etc. I learned everything. I did probably 97, 98 % of the work myself. I never touched a spray gun before I painted this car. I painted it the same way and the same colors as the car I owned 50 years ago. I owned a 71 Z back then and this one is a 71. I'm trying to find out the vin no. of the one I owned before. The paint job turned out really nice. The whole car looks 100 times better in person. I still have all kinds of goodies to put on it. I still have some work to do to it, but I'll be do…

Do any of you guys have dimensions on these pieces? Its basically the only part I dont have for the car, them and a gas pedal assembly! I have plenty of various stock at home and for the 25 us plus shipping I could just make them in about an hour if I had dimensoins.... Bolt hole widths are a no brainer since the holes are on the chassis but I need elevation numbers... https://zcarsource.com/rear-transverse-link-mounting-bar-set-240z-260z-280z-71-78-used Thanks EH

Further evidence that it doesn't have to be factory stock to bring in the cash. https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__bringatrailer.com_listing_1971-2Ddatsun-2D240z-2D51_&d=DwIFAg&c=IBOdtJkw7mis4tB3vCHqFQ&r=YmH3VJ9e1DCx9GHaRacx37TOIutCumzjaAks3ERqjrw&m=n8CV6MPCRh9JvPy08CF7GF2ZHgqbqkpISw3pIhFjkD0&s=LvWnQwSas0ZlFvzoAE-398jHUhH-C61lkvBxZB542m8&e=

I am running a 15x8 zero offset on my 280 with 225-50’s without issue. I am looking to purchase some Rota RB’s for my project 240 in the same size but they do not offer 0 offset. Curious to know what you guys are running (without flares) in a 15” size wheel. They do offer a +4 that I could probably get away with, if not add a small spacer. Thanks for the input. Jay

I've had this car since '76, it was a daily driver a long time etc. then sat around so now I'm into a restore. From day 1 in 1976 its had vapor locking issues, I live in the Austin area and 100deg days are quite common. The symptom is you drive somewhere on a hot day, leave it parked for 15 minutes, come back and try to take off. It jumps and bucks a but after 5 minutes of driving things smooth out. Stop at traffic light for a while and it might start bucking again at takeoff. I do have an AC, gotta have that. I have done a lot to help this problem. removed mech fuel pump (you could hear fuel bubbling in there) electric pump was there but not wired u…

I found this site on like the 7th page of a google search. I hadn't heard of them. I was looking for 510 seals but they also have Z and ZX seals. I haven't really studied the prices but I thought it might be an interesting source. FWIW http://www.vintagerubber.com/240z.aspx

I was surfing around at some 240 and fairlady restores in Japan and I saw a list of documents at the end. http://www.geocities.jp/datsunz903/ Report of study for exhaust humes entering from tail gate Sep 1971 I assume this document was originally in Japanese, is there a translated one somewhere?

Hi All: – I need to replace the outer rocker panels (aka "sills") and lower doglegs on both sides of my ’72 240Z. I will purchase repair panels from The Z Store, Tabco or another supplier (recommendations on suppliers appreciated, btw.). For now, I’m trying to get an understanding of how everything fits together, so I'll have a good understanding before I start cutting. Question: (See the photo below as a reference.) Will the outer rocker repair panels replace the section indicated by the “B” arrow? Is the piece marked “A” the inner rocker? Is the green piece above “A” the inner rocker or the floor section? Am I making sense? BTW: What doesn’t the f…
