my 72 zed has no modifications that i can tell.it looks all original. the dash might be after market. i only say that because it's in such great condition. even the paint looks orig. i've found nothing to make me beleive otherwise.the ? is should i do any mods now? i like the look of a air dam and spoiler, but i just can't bring myself to drill holes in her.it would be like painting a moustashe an the mona lisa. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=4551243572&category=42611 is this a bre? and in canada too.

So I bought this 71 Datsun Truck 3 weeks ago and I've been driving it every day to sort it out. Yesterday I parked it in preparation to pull the engine/tranny to swap out the transmission and do a little engine compartment cleaning/painting. So I started the Z.... WOW! the shift throw is so short! Oh My God! What brakes! I nearly threw myself out the windscreen! If you forget the Z is a Sports car. Drive a non sports car with 4 wheel drums and steers like a truck for a couple of weeks, then go back to your Z!

I just picked up a 72 240 parts car, the battery tray area looks great, some surface rust but that's about it. I've already fixed mine and don't need this and I want the car out of here by the end of next week. I figured I'd ask here first if anyone was in need, otherwise I'll probably ebay it. I can cut what ever you want. Car is pretty stripped already but most of the drive train is there w/auto tranny. Car was a driver before being parted. PM me if you need any sheet metal, roof is good and the rear quarters behind the wheel wells look good. Doors, glass, hatch, hood, interior, fenders, are gone.

Isn't she beautiful. After a year and a half, my Z is back home. Now all I have to do is put her back together, that should take a couple of weeks (ha ha).

I saw this on DimeQuarterly.com; it claims to be car #599 for sale in Los Angeles: Condition could be rough. Somebody local may want to check it out.

While perusing a few other Z sites, every once in a while I'll see a Z on a jack with a door or both doors open. I've always been under the impression that's not a good idea with a unibody car. Whether using the standard issue Datsun jack or even a regular floor jack. True, False Vicky

Hi, I really like these headlights and was wondering if anyone knew where to get them. I dont know if they come blue like that or its the paint reflection or the blub is blue so it gives it that look. I found some on ebay but i'm not sure if they are the ones. I like the blue lights cause my car is gona be blue but i also want angel eyes (halo) lights. Is it possible to have both? Both that blue style and angel eyes? Or should i get these angel eyes and just use H4 blue bulbs? Has anyone done this before? Here is the link to the angel eyes http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Euro-Halo-Headlight-Nissan-Datsun-240z-260z-280z_W0QQitemZ7987292210QQcategoryZ33710QQssPageNameZWDVW…

Can anyone recommend who can perform a history check on a Z Car? All of the online services require a 17 digit VIN. I called my insurance company and they wouldn't do it. Thanks

Can someone tell me if the silver colored links on the timing chain are suppose to cover the camshaft and crank timing marks when doing a timing chain installation. I'm running into a setup problem with the silver links covering the timing marks and the #1 set at TDC , the cam shaft gear grove is off about ~ 3- 4 degrees. it looks like ( - v ) , I know it should be (-v) I think if the grove was on the left it would indicate the chain is streched, that's why I'm questioning the postion of the silver links with the timing marks. This is not a new chain I just screwed up when installing a new head gasket and didn't wedge the chain good enough. :stupid:

There is not much in the way of detail in the ad but this 71 looks to be in tip top shape and is priced right. Someone may want to jump on this. Sorry if this is not the proper place to post this. If not, I'm sure someone will school me. 240 for sale
