Looking for a little expertise from this forum. I have a Datsun 240Z that has been stored in my garage for over 25 years. It's all stock, but is missing the transmission. It's spent it's entire life in Southern California so the body is still in good shape. It hasn't been driven since 1989. I've been lead to believe that because it's one of the early cars imported into the USA, and because it's all original components, it's rare to find these days. The VIN is in the low 2000's. Is it best to offer this through eBay? What should I know or do before I offer for sale? Thanks all

Hi guys I rarely see this reinforcement plate on cars. I will remove it when I refurb & paint. I suspect my 73 has the wrong bumpers as they fit terribly. Looks like the PO covered the bumpers and engine/inner hood compartment with rhino liner type stuff. If flakes off the bumpers real easy and looks bad as you can see. Bumper are rust free. My question is was this plate on all 240Z's? And why don't I see them on internet pictures. Must be the looks.

Hello, All: I'm looking for two OEM FI hose clamps to replace damaged ones on my '77 280Zs very original engine. While aftermarket versions are working for now, I consider them a temporary solution. Thank you for your attention.

Most of you know Hector Cademartori, the renowned Automotive & Racing Artist, and have seen his great work. We have many of his creations available on our website. Some may not know that he makes a Classic Datsun Z Christmas Card every year. With all of the same old winter scenes and Christmas trees repeated over and over most years, these cards are a fresh option if your family sends out Christmas Cards. They also make great collector's items. This is the fourth edition Hector has created (these are prints, the original of course was painted by hand). Here is what the Artist had to say: The Christmas cards are the highlight of my year. I produce fi…

Hi All, I'm new to the forums and recently acquired a 280Z! I'm really excited about the car, but I did make the purchase with it not running. The interesting (and very bizarre) issue I'm having is that the engine refuses to start on it's own when it's cold. The weird part is that with a quick spray of starting fluid (3 sec), the car starts up and RUNS instantly and idles/revs using it's own EFI without problem. If I leave the engine idling for a couple minutes (not even up to op. temp.), then kill the engine, it will subsequently start on it's own without the need of starting fluid. It appears to only be cold starts where the car refuses to start on it's own. …

For the last few weeks every time I try to open the mobile app I get an "Invalid License" error message. It continues to say "This forum is currently not available on this app. Please contact the forum administrator." Is anyone else having this problem? Mike.

Finally got my F54/P79 engine in my garage. I’m going to start tearing it down for a complete rebuild to install in my 77z. Has 164k miles on it and is a guaranteed engine. Was a deal $408 out the door, no core. I might need some help as this happens so wanted to start a new thread for anyone wanting to guide me along. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi All, Open question to the group, looking for info on the cost of frame rail repair/replacement. I am considering purchasing a '73 240z, however during initial inspection I found that the back end of the frame rail on the driver's side is rusted / rotted out. It looks like it needs to be repaired or replaced. I am trying to factor the cost of fixing the frame rails into the value of the vehicle, but I really have no idea what it would cost. Should they just be repaired? Should they be replaced? If I fix one side, should I fix the other side? Input is requested and appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I’m considering putting a stealth antenna in my 240z. I have seen a few different ways of doing this but haven’t seen a conclusively recommended way of doing this. i was thinking of running a regular antenna along a frame rake under the car, maybe mounting something up inside the support near the rear hatch somewhere. Mountain one inside the rear hatch off the gas shock mount, or using one of those hidden antennas. However each of these poses a potential problem of interference or poor reception. Does anyone have experience in this area?
