Parts Swapping

Does anybody know if the driveshaft from a 72 240 is identical between an automatic vs 4 speed car? I see in the Motorsports catalog there is only one part number, but I'd like to be sure... thank you in advance

Hello all, has anyone out there changed the tach from a four wire to a three wire in a 1970 240Z? Could you let me know how you did the wiring. I installed a distributer and a coil from a 1983 ZX. Of course my tach stopped working. I have the three wire unit, I just need to know how to wire it. Cannot find it anywhere in the forums. Please help. Rick.

What 5 or 6 speed transmissions are compatible with a stock 76 280z? I really want to do a conversion but i dont kno what I should be looking for.

Hello all, can a shifter from a 78 5 speed fit into an 82 5 speed? The 82 uses the spring loaded shifter and I would rather not use that one. Let me know. Thanks, Rick.

Hi guys Would the LZ22S piston be a good alternative for my L28 crank/240 rods combo? Piston specs: 87mm bore, 35mm pin height and 9.33cc dish = 8.3:1 same as a stock L28 but with a different rod/stroke ratio, also good for pump gas. It will be approx .5mm below deck, does it matter? Also, if I shave the piston flat would I increase or decrease compression? I'am thinking it might increase but since its below deck, thats were I get confused. Cheers, Ari

Well, I finally got around to installing a 1992 Honda Civic blower motor into my 1976 Z. While I had every intention of photographing the operation, I didn’t! I got carried away in the process, and didn’t think of taking pictures until the motor was installed.:stupid: Oh well! Here is the procedure I used and the results: 1. Remove the plastic trim piece under the glove box to allow better access to the blower. 2. Remove the glove box lid and liner. Even though I have a full dash cover, I was still able to pull the box liner out through the front opening. It was tight, but by wiggling it around a little I was able to pull it free. 3. Remove the air hose that goes to…

Help!!!! I have an '82 turbo automatic pretty much in a pile in my back yard for parts (killed - front end totalled). I just aquired an '82 5-speed, non-turbo (my new project) Will the rear ends will be interchangeable?? The "new" '82 has a terrible roar. Checked the oil in the diff, looked decent (some minute shavings) but changed the oil anyway to make sure. Still roars - probably the bearings? No way to really tell how much damage is back there until I start disassembling. The turbo (automatic) had a strong rear end before it's death, and if they will interchange without a lot of work, I'm thinking that would be the easy, cheesy way to go. Any help?

On my early 71Z drivers side door panel is 2 plugged holes at the same position as the pull handle on the passenger side. I have seen a pull handle on some model but I don't remember which. Is it supposed to have a drivers side handle on mine?

Does anyone out there have a spare dizzy fixing(adjustment) plate for a 79-81 280ZX. I'm swapping out my 73' dizzy for a 79' but it didn't come with a fixing plate.

Hello I have a early 71 and a shop had put a 5 speed from a 280z in it many years ago. It seems that they did not replace the slave cylinder at the time and the rod is too short and caused the piston to move almost out of the cylinder to actuate the clutch. Does anyone know if there is a small bore slave cylinder and a large bore clutch master cylinder combo from a 240/260/280/zx ? that has a long and hopefully adjustable rod? I want a larger and smaller bore combo than stock if possible to reduce the clutch pedal movement. I also need to replace the Diff. mount bushing does anyone know a good year from another car that will fit? Maybe one that is of a longer lasting or …

Hi, my question is, I have a 240z in bad shape, and I am college student who works, so as I see most of you want more power etc, but waht i really need considering price wopuld be aropund 3 in summer is the best economical swap to give the better gas milleage, probably a 4 cyl, the sr20 is expensive. a crappier engine maybe from a sentra (not ser) maybe? or any other one? any advice will be great I am looking for some 30 mpg and not requiering 91 octane. thx in advance guys. Hybrid Z says they only do swaps for more power so no very helpful

It appears that 70-71 240Z used one type of turn signal switch, and 72-73 used a different one. Anybody know what the differences are? Assuming that originality is not crucial, is one better than another? I ask because I will be needing a replacement for my 71, and used switches from 72-73 seem to be more plentiful.
