Hello, I think we always love to talk about build date of the Zcar,Alan T. and 26th-Z,I think we talked about this before,please everyone join here everyone. I hope this thread will help me/someone develop my/his idea and imagine when ROUGHLY my/his Zcar was born. Ok,let's start listing of my 240Z's "date" which I found so far. "21020" speedometer back face,I think "21st Feb 1970" "70 02" a tag on a harness infront of a radiator,near dual horns,"Feb 1970" "12 1969" Seat belt tags "03/70" plate above a driver's door striker So,the plate above a driver's door striker shows reasonable date.I think I can say door striker's date should not be earlier than these …

Hey, I have a 1973 240z and I have what I believe is the original key. I wanted to get a replacement made and the code on the key is just a 4 digit number (5XXX) with no prefix. I thought the keys generally had a prefix for the type of cut? The key does work on everything (ignition, both doors, glove box, and trunk) I took a look and there is no glove box code sticker. I attached a picture of the key (with a repro blank I was hoping to use) to show the style (and edited it a bit to remove the last 3 code digits and some of the key length) Any idea what might be up? The key is super worn so I was hoping to avoid having a duplicate made directly from the key

Hey everybody. My wife just inherited her dad's one owner 72 240Z. Hasn't been started or driven since about 2005. Car was sold new at the same dealership in Marion,Indiana that the $300k green 240 BAT car came from. I'm a lifelong gear head (muscle era mopars) and have completed a rotisserie restoration on my 69 1/2 six pack Super Bee. That being said I know nothing about these Z cars so I decided to join for info and advice when I start getting the 240 roadworthy this fall. Looking forward to working on this neat little car.

While reviewing @zed2's thread on unchained vs. chained gas caps I spotted @26th-Z's comment about undated supercedes on that item. I recalled seeing a similar catalog notation on door lock assemblies while recently doing research for a friend. Today I was cleaning up some door lock assemblies and spotted a unicorn the probably confirms the timing of this particular supercede (80501-E4100, undated supercede 80503-E4100). The lock on the left is a left side unit, date coded 9 - 7, it has two clock-style coil springs, Note the position of the long arm is down on the smaller spring. The unit on the right is also a left side unit, date coded 9 - 11. It has only one clock-styl…

This popped up in my Twitter feed, sans explanation... Not my cup of tea by a longshot, but it looks like someone's labor of love. Anyone have any details?

Searching for some replacement black plastic panels. Was looking at the Palco product. Crazy expensive with shipping, so I was wondering what others thought of the product? Dont mind spending the money if they are really good quality. Thanks!

...I have the Z Car Source 2022 calendar on my wall, and the more I stare at Tyler Sprigg's orange 280Z 2+2 (the featured car for the month of May), the more I dig the look. He did a great job with it. The photo above isn't the one from the calendar; the calendar one is a rear 3/4 shot that really emphasizes the "hatchback-iness" of the roofline profile change. It looks really cool from either angle, but especially the back.

When I install the oil pump should the distributor alignment be at 11:30 when looking at the left side of the engine?
