this is the vertical one that attaches to the front of the quarter glass with screws and seal against the window frame. I am having some issues on the removal, it seems like I need to remove the quarter glass at least at the top (tilt it out maybee?) to get the very top of the old seal to remove. This looks like the case base on the new replacement. It seems like it has to wrap around a lip at the top from of the quarter glass. Has anyone messed with these? and if so any tips on the seal remove and install? the screws all came out easy, and I released the adhesive all where it was stuck down (the bottom edge and the top under the door weather seal). The only p…

maybe this is common knowledge but if not, I found the part 21200-ET01A is a perfect fit (just remove the rubber gasket it comes with) 82c T stat for use in then L28. this one was in stock at the local dealership if you are in a hurry. it looks like 21200-P7901 is the one you find when searching

Hello Let me first apologize in advance for my immodesty. It was a year ago today that I acquired my Z after winning an auction on BaT. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1972-datsun-240z-161/ I was a bit concerned because I had never bought a car sight unseen before. Based on the comments on BaT I felt confident that I was making the right move and when the car came off the trailer my gut feeling was confirmed. The condition of this mostly original example is unbelievable. I invested some time and $$$ to make sure this car is reliable and safe in every way and operates and looks as if it just came off the showroom floor. A big thanks to Mike at Ba…

Hello i am looking to buy a Nikki fuel pump for my 1972 240z. Part No 271070 (as seen on pump housing.) See photo. Just about any condition is acceptable. My rebuild, as discussed in my previous post, was going great. Prior to final assembly I decided to give it a good degreasing. The degreasing bath I used was much to harsh and destroyed the finish. So back to the drawing board. Now instead of the nice aluminum finish, the housing is a dull dark grey…a costly mistake. Thanks. Jim

My brakes are dragging. Is this because I’ve been using my emergency brake when parking? What do I need to do to fix it?

I put about 80 miles on the new Z today. New to me, of course. What a blast. This is the best therapy there is.

I recently joined this club and have several questions for the forum. I am the original owner of a '73 240Z. The car has 50,000 original miles and has been in my garage for most of its adult life. In 2001, I overhauled the car by: 1. Switching out the original carburetors and replacing with '71 carbs. 2. Removed the ignition points and replaced with an electronic ignition. 3. Replaced the engine and transmission lubricants with synthetic. 4. Installed new Pirelli tires. 5. Professionally repainted with the original color, finishing with a clear coat. My question for the forum is if the car is driven less than 50 miles annually, with on…

He said “ I have 6” . I about dropped my phone . I said , “ I’ll take 4 ! “ I also picked up a 4 speed auto from the Maxima . Might as well fill the pallet !

Engine compartment and wheel well cleaning What it would look like to get a flat in 1970. I’m using simple green to take off the layers of grime. I used a plastic scraper on the thick stuff on the struts. It takes the paint off. I started using a plastic brush, it works but the thick stuff is a problem, any ideas on a better way to remove the thick grime?

Guys, i bought a 77 Auto over a year ago and car was sitting for 3-5 years. It does need a wash!!! I stumbled upon somewhere in the manual that says do not steam clean the engine. Is anyone aware of this? I am not able to find that again. Right now I am just planning to use some good of the shelf solvent and wash normally. Is there something I need to be careful about and prevent water to it? Appreciate some input.
