Dearly Beloved. I find myself explaining over and over again to various Z owners (all Datsun owners really) about the differences in various items and what year range they belong to. I am tired of doing so, and tires of hunting down pictures and URL's of stuff for them, and would just like to point them to a single URL where they can look up the answer to their question. What better place than our beloved CZCC forum, and what a better way to entice new members! Note this fatigue does not apply to the membership here, but mostly to the ones I try to help on that blessed piece of crap FB....... There are just SO many more soles pleading for help there, than here, I …

Is it kosher to leave the fuel rails exposed instead of wrapping them in heat shield? (I currently have original flat top carbs on my 1973 240z, fyi, and they are wrapped in two layers of ugly mess.) Started wondering about it since I've got my fuel rails off right now -- part of my end to end cleaning of gas tank and fuel lines. I see pics like this with exposed fuel rail:

I have the opportunity to purchase a set of 4 NOS Z hubcaps. We all know that the D hubcaps have become very rare and expensive. Also as you know, there were hundreds of thousands of sets of Z hubcaps manufactured that are quite common and came stock on the '72 and '73 240Zs, '74 260Zs and the '75 280Zs. However, NOS Z hubcaps in perfect condition are also pretty rare. Any idea what a set of 4 is worth? Has there been any recent sales of NOS Z hubcaps on eBay? Just trying to get an idea of the value. Thanks in advance. Steve

New owner beginning the process of getting my 1978 280Z up and running and fun to drive on the weekends. How important is finding a real specialist in Z car restoration do to the work? The couple of specialty shops that I have contacted are too busy to take on another project. Is using a good mechanic and body shop sufficient to achieve a good result? Are there things that I need to make sure are being done? Just starting out and have many questions. Thanks for your guidance.

Hey, I’m on a work trip in Southern California and was searching the classifieds and stumbled on a set of headers for sale. Guy wants $100. He’s parting out his L28 for an engine swap. They look stainless but might be coated, can’t really tell. Not sure if it’s a good deal and I really can’t tell what kind they are. The look like either the Pacesetter or MSA 3-2. They have two O2 sensor bungs too. The add says N47/N42 engine setup but the pic shows round ports to me and exhaust liners but maybe I’m not seeing it right, $100 seems like a decent deal since the MSA ones are $369. BTW, was considering driving to MSA and picking up headers curbside and save on sh…

Hey everybody - it's been a while since I posted here. I am beginning a build on a 240 and I thought I'd chronicle the process on youtube. I'd sure appreciate it if you drop by and look at the first video - it'll be weeks before there's another. I just had surgery and I can't get to work for a bit. As with every YT guy, I'd also ask for your subscription. Thanks again! here's the link https://youtu.be/F9qK0DDeI2w It's a 72 240 that looks like a former drag car, considering the clues I've found along the way. It'll have a John Williams built L28, running "real" SU 2" carbs. Should be fun!

Hi, all. I'm new to the Z community, but apparently jumped in with both feet... My first Z car is in that narrow range of '73 240z that has the original flat top carbs. Bought this from the original owner a couple of weeks ago. My dilemma: As a newbie, do I try to sort out the flat top tuning and ongoing babysitting (as I've been told to expect), or do I opt for: Option 2: ZTherapy carbs conversion to their $1300 "bulletproof" modified round tops. Pricey but probably the best long term option to keep close to original. Option 3: Weber DGVs in the $800+ range. Heard very mixed things. As for me, I'm pretty handy, but never had to tune a carb bef…

Sounds like a personal problem, but yeah my dipstick on this '73 240z sits very, very loose and I'm pretty sure it leaks oil when running. Been wondering if the previous owner put in wrong dipstick. I found an old thread that says the part number should show E3002, which mine does. (pics) But, Zstore shows a 240z dipstick with P6502 stamped. Link Anyone dealt with a very loose E3002 dipstick?
