how much fluid volume would your engine hold if you were so inclined to fill it? from the oil pan to the top of your oil cap port. on my car this would mean the oil pan, a 280 block, su's and an e88 head. the fluid would fill the return hose, intake, cylinders, carbs and don't forget to plug the dip stick port. the valve cover alone might take a gallon. i filled mine with atf as a detergent while its in for paint and body. considering i made three trips to the parts store for more and the amasement of those who watched me do it; i'm curious if anyone could guess just how much it held. post your answers in quarts and i'll post what was my reality (for my car). feel free to…

Emblem ideas? 1 2

I screwed up while refreshing my '73, and now I have holes from a dealer plaque/emblem on the driver's side of the hatch lid, and nothing to use for an emblem there. I tried locating an original dealer badge (a long-shot, I know) but Gregory Datsun Sales in Chattanooga, TN is long gone. Does anybody have an idea for what I can put there? I really don't want to fill the holes and repaint the hatch. All panels match because I painted the entire car in 1 session (original mettalic gray/silver).... -Ken :stupid:

Well the time has come and i am now parting out my Z. Its a complete car but its taken apart at the moment. The shell is rotted but i believe it can be restored. Seats are mint dash cap is mint it just need to be clean, all glass is good, doors, hatch are all good. Fenders have some bondo, rear quarter pannels have some bondo, suspension is rusty but solid, calipers arent worn but rusty, all brakes are good except the E-brake is rusted and doesnt work. The right rear bleed screw broke off, the restoration was started, but i dont have the time or money to complete it. if u need ANY z part im pretty much selling everything. Also the trans/engine are original with onl…

Hello all! First, I want to start off by saying that my dad used to own a green '71 240Z when he was in college around that time, and he talks about how much he loved the car. So I wanted to surprise him, and I have been looking for a pretty good example close by for a decent price. I located one, and want to know if it is something I should go for. I emailed the guy and asked a lot of questions, mainly about rust ! Here is where i found the ad: http://adcache.collectorcartraderonline.com/10/4/0/79667040.htm and then he sent some more pics here: http://www.kodakgallery.com/Slideshow.jsp?Uc=f17mnkj.d0cla0b&Uy=-mz1r34&Upost_signin=Slideshow.jsp%3Fmode%3Dfro…

I just purchased from a friend a 1971 240Z. It has not been driven much for many years... there are only 31,000 miles on the car. As I drove it today, there is much noise in the suspension. It seems there might be worn out rubber gromets and mounts? I am wondering if anyone else has had such problems? Also, I had one of these cars when I was much younger and I remember being told to be careful with the size of tire on the car.... I just had some 185's put on and they rub on the fenderwell.... back to 175's I guess... Lastly, I am seeing some trouble with the paint which I am told is a laquer. Checking and small bubbling in certain areas. My body shop man tells me you cann…

Well some of you might remember me from a while back, but for you who dont; Im Chris, I live in Perth, Australia and now own a very rusty but running and licenced '75 260Z 2+2!!! Im now a 1st year motor mechanic and 17yrs. Well heres my Z's story. I bought it of the original owners son. It was for sale for $600 so i called the guy ASAP. I was only the 2nd caller! So I went and had a look at it. Its very rusty and the paintwork is SHOCKING! He told me his story about how it was his mothers etc etc and said that if he gave it to the wreckers they would give him $88. So he offered it to me for $88 because it would get a good home, so i snapped it up! Its done apparently 29…
