So I was told when I bought my car that neither the hand throttle nor the choke were connected, so until now I never even tried. I tried it just cos I got curious today, and to my surprise the hand throttle does work.... My car seems to be a 240 series 2, except for the centre console bit which I guess has been replaced at some stage... The thing is, I would have thought when they removed teh hand throttle control, they would have removed all the mechanics behind it too, to save money and time. My question is, does anybody know if the mechanical components to do with the hand throttle were still left in the series 2 cars, or if not would it be reasonably simple to instal…

This is gonna be cool... Well, here I go again it seems...anyone ever seen "The Blues Brothers" where they're on a mission from God? Well, Im on a mission from the Z Gods...haha... I have located a repulsively crusty '76 2+2 in all its metallic green and mold colored glory sitting in the dirt driveway of a truckers trailer home. Oh man, this is gonna be great. Another money pit--I dont know why Im so excited here!!! Its been sitting for 10 years, accumulated enough filth on it to grow a garden, yet its all original minus the basket wire wheels and dry rotted tires. Every last emblem, interior, motor piece you name it...still there. Oh boy, oh boy! Ive been assured …

please correct me if i'm wrong as i do not know a whole lot about 240z's yet but the 280zx came with a turbocharged l28 rite? and if it did, can that be swapped into a 240Z without any major problems? also, some posts i've read that a common thing to do is to put a l28 n/a into a 240z and keep it carburated(is it not already) in doing the latter swap, how much of a hp gain would there be and how much work(money) would be needed to get the n/a l28 to push the 240Z into high 13's or low 14's in the 1/4 mi.? i'm still quite new to these cars so any and all help/opinions would be great....i hope to learn a lot more about these cars as i am going to purchase one as soon as i …

Well, my exhaust is on his way to die... The wrap-around is worn to the point that it pops-in and out when the car runs cold with the choke.. Not a beautiful sound.. What are my options (brand, etc) and my car has a 2.5 inches pipe from the lower OEM headers to the end, no resonator), and I do not want to order anything in the States because of the exchange rate that is killing me and the fees at the CND customs also.. Help please.

MSA exhaust fit 1 2

Does anybody else have the MSA "turbo" exhaust fitted up to the stock exhaust manifold on their 240? I just got mine installed at a local shop, and they had a bear of a time getting it to fit (no directions either). They said everything was fine until they had to mount the muffler... it's mounted at a slightly off angle, so the exhaust tip is a little crooked ... FWIW I got the aluminized version. I can post a picture tonight or tomorrow if needed...

I just upgraded my 73 Z with dual points to a single point pertronix type electronic dizzy.One thing i need now is the coil. It runs good but the coil I feel makes the system complete. I have heard that the MSD blaster II coil would be a good one for my setup. Anyone have any input on a different one? Let me know what u have done and your thoughts. Thanks suntadz

Hi gang- Came across this 73 yesterday and just had a look at it. It's pretty nice looking on the outside, repainted over lime green. I've attached some picts of the underside. Specifically the twin I-Beams that have some rust. I guess my question is for the right price say $1500 or less is this worth looking at? The rust worries me and part of me says just turn and walk away as these are the main structural areas with damage. Any feedback would be great.
