I just bought a silver 240Z and I've got a couple of little things that need fixing up and I'm not too sure about it ... 1) Does anyone know what type of screws are used to hold the center console between the driver and passenger seats down? The screws were taken out when I got it and I'm not sure what size to put back in :-/ 2) Has anyone put new speakers into their cars? How easy is it? What size can you afford to put in? (my car doesn't have any speakers atm ) 3) Did the original 240Z seats have those little ventilation (?) holes down the bottom of the backrest? 4) My driver side door can't be closed very easily... is this easily fixable? 5) The bootlid doesn't al…

Problem: The water pump bolt {one of five} that bolts on at the 10 o'clock position {71 Z} has broken off deep inside the block. Why is this bolt 3 1/2 long? Is this length necessary to get past the aluminum block? Is the block not aluminum? Has anyone had the experience of drilling this bolt out at this depth? Is it possible to tap the hole as it enters the block and installing a new shorter, fatter bolt in the new tapped threads? I am looking for enough pressure to keep the gasket from leaking, {or blowing out altogether} the first time I drive through Baker, California when the temp outside reaches 120 degrees. Right now there is no leak because I applied a bit more p…

Sheesh, what a time to be stranded from my computer for two weeks. Been on vacation and furlough for a bit now, and finally took over dad's computer tonight to get some much needed help from you guys! Here's the timeline of any issues that may or may not be related. Second week of January - Noticed gas mileage dropping drastically in my 240, from approximately 24 mi. per gal to 18 mi. per gallon, and also heard my car backfire for the first time (should also mention that it did it multiple times after that first time) in the year that I have had it. Somewhere around Jan 16th or 17th, my starter stuck one morning when I was ready to leave for work. It was humming even aft…

I know the firing order from the Haynes manual, but nowhere do I see any indication as to which post corresponds to #1 cylinder. Can someone help me please? THanks. -e

Ok so I've had my 73 240 for a week now- the first problem, a fuel leak proved to be no big deal, and took seconds to fix- happy me, untill..... For gawd knows what reason, my windscreen wipers have jammed- one second they're doing fine, then they slow then- stuck. Wont respond to the switch, and can't be forced one way or the other, I'm hoping this is some famous 240 quirk, and maybe ther's some trick to it but the previous owner- a decent guy- has no idea. Can anybody help?
