Hello list... it's been a few years since I posted here last (10 or so!) So, first the barnfind is my father's 1970 series 1 240z...Yellow over black leather. HLS30-15369 While not truly a "find" or in a barn (it's in a garage in NJ where it has been sitting since 1980 when he lost his eyesight) She was purchased new by my father from Bob Sharp Motors (yes of BSR fame) on July 11th, 1970. The car was built in Dec. 1970 and delivered on Feb. 18th 1971. Within the first few months, my father had BSR add A/C, put in an exhaust ($140 + $55 install), larger front swaybar, added a rear swaybar, and installed a set of Konis on all 4 corners. My father also in…

Silly question here. When I gutted my interior of an early 1971, one of the first things I did was remove the fuse box. Now the interior is going back together and I cannot find a picture of where the two screws in the fuse box screw into. If somebody could shoot a picture of their console with the ashtray assembly removed so I could see what the fuse box screws into I would really appreciate it. Seems so simple yet I cannot figure it out......

Having just recently got involved with the 240Z I'm looking for the definitive book on the Nissan Z cars from 1969 to end of production of the 240Z. Seem to be lots of armchair experts on forums but is there a definitive book that covers them in depth. It would have to include the factory race cars and their role in developing the Z. Additionally is their a website or magazine that has covered the history accurately? Any help much appreciated. The 1969 Z launch, Nissan's homologation special Z on display.

STARTED THIS FOR FUN Ok folk, who has any DATSUN DEALERSHIP SIGNS they like to share ! Here goes some pics of mine. Got it from Chicago and made in Kentucky. It's about ('2 by '3 1/2) feet, with three strobe or "office" lights running lengthwise on the inside. Plugs in with a normal electrical wall cord! So get 'em out of those attics, dust 'em off and lets see pics and hear about 'em ! ! And yes I renamed the thread to see if that would help those signs come out the dark. ~Z~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RB WAY 2B ~Z~

All Today's adventure in Parts Hunting starts at the center console of a '77 280Z. Attached thereto is a "Fasten Seat Belt" light fixture, located on the upper vertical panel, just below the radio. It is this fixture that is the subject of the following questions: Hope no.1: Was there, in any model, an instance of a blanking plate for that hole size? If so, does anyone have one they would part with? Hope no.2: Does anyone have a "Seat Belt" fixture housing (bulb holder not required) they would part with? Hopefully,

This just popped up on my news feed from Jalopnik https://jalopnik.com/what-a-lifelong-z-mechanic-thinks-of-nissan-today-1830083808 It's nice to see that places are still out there that specializes in Z's. No bad there's no place like that in NE Ohio. Great discussion of the history of sports cars at Nissan.

I am fortunate enough to have been gifted a Series 1 (1971 I think ) 240z. Without boring you with a novel, this car belongs to my Great Aunt who has been holding onto it since my Great Uncle died in the 1990s. He was the original owner, but towards the end of his life he was unable to enjoy the car so it sat for some time until he passed. Since then it has been sitting dormant in a barn on their property- probably for at least the past 25 years or so. She has wanted the car to go to a family member and informed me of its existence when I casually mentioned to her that I had bought a '76 280z a few months ago to restore. The 280z needs a TON of fab work and, quite fra…

Alright, so here we go! This is a 1973, HLS30-165462. Purchased by my father brand new in 73 in Rhode Island and traveled with him to Colorado, New Mexico, and finally to Minnesota. He kept decent records of maintenance and mileage, so we know the odometer reading of 65,416 is correct. Original color is 901 Silver. There's still some of it under the hood and in the engine bay, but the outside was peeling in the late 80s so he had it removed and primed, but never decided on a new color, so in primer it remained. Back in my high school days we dropped the gas tank, cleaned it, replaced various hoses and managed to get it running. I had a lot of fun crui…

I have been reading these boards for a while now, and noticed several of our members are located in or near Houston Texas. I would like us to get together or at least get a call list so we can ask questions, lend a hand, etc. Can we get a shout out of local classic Z guys.

A couple of you may have seen the thread I started on my 73 rotisserie restoration. So I have had this car for a long time waiting to do the restoration, and my intent years ago was to clone it as a FairladyZ, with you know, the LHD. I'm just now getting started after the deconstruction of the car, so look for updates on that thread. I have in my possession the earmarks to do this. JDM taillights, fender mirrors, original style badges, chrome ringed headlight lenses (real ones). I also have a set of "D" hubcaps, not really sure thats Fairladyish on the hubcaps, but I think they are cool. The kid (relative) I was when I got this car still exists in me, but since …
