It's been a while since I've posted back on the forum but I wanted to check back in and show some progress of my 11/70 240z. I bought the car about 3 years ago and have done quite a bit of work on it since. I wanted to build a mostly period correct Japanese influenced race car for street use. It's in it's final stages now and I know it might not be some of the purists cup of tea but I know some of you may enjoy it and some of the rare bits and pieces I've compiled together. A lot of time, effort, money and blood and sweat has gone into it so far. This is how the car started, a mostly stock series 1 car with dealer option seat covers and wheels, blown out struts, unre…

Hello....New to the site, hope this right page to ask the experts. So....I picked up a winter project. 1972 240z, that has been sitting for 35 years, a "barn find". I have had a few in my day and have been looking for a survivor. The car is all original matching numbers and mostly complete and 98% rust free. But it is ugly, a diamond in the rough. Anyhow.... This car has a "factory"? electric sliding moon roof, ( no glass-metal). I have never seen this before! I know you think I am an idiot all ready, I am serious this car has one and it sure looks factory to me. I don't think a dealer could have done this. it looks to good. IS THIS POSSIBLE??? I know you will want pictur…

Howdy, The Antenna mast for my 76 is non-functioning. The motor seems to be working but the mast won't go up. I purchased a donor antenna that has a faulty motor and was going to combine the two. Below is a picture of the antenna that is currently in the car. I've seen a few types of masts and was wondering if anyone can help me identify if this is the original mast for the car? The car was manufactured 9/75. Cheers! ~MattS

I recently purchased a complete series 1 car...complete except for the rear hatch. Can a series 1 hatch be fabricated from a mid '71 hatch (with vertical defrost) ? I have a '71 hatch. A body shop could easily cut holes to support the hatch vents. It seems like finding a rust free series 1 deck would be about impossible. The body shop can't get me in until July so I have time. i should also mention the donor car i would taking the hatch from is very restorable also which tugs at my emotions a little. Do exhaust fumes enter the cabin through those hatch vents? Thanks

I got 2 keys for $10 from a local locksmith just by calling and giving him the code. Can't believe I haven't done this sooner. One key now for everything but it won't unlock the doors. It tries but just won't make it all the way. Is there any other way to get to the rod that needs to be bent other than removing the door panels? They've never been off and I hate that kind of meticulous gentle work. I'm more of a smash and grab kind of guy. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Here is the story...and it's a long one! I bought this 71 back in the late 80's, I think I paid $1000 for it. Naturally it had to be hot rodded, the engine and trans(5 speed were swapped from a 77) still got the original engine and trans in good shape), the head was ported and polished, titanium retainers, the cam came from Ed the armenian (rip) he worked for Smokey Yunick btw, header , dual webers, electronic ignition, ansa exhaust, adjustable Tokicos, suspension techniques springs ...and so on, You get the pic. Got married in 91, had a baby and this thing stopped being practical, my younger brother wanted it so I sold it to him (don't remember for h…

Just wondering when Datsun put the heavier impact rail inside the 240z doors? the car I bought had a heavy bar in the drivers door and a light weight on in the passenger. the two replacement doors I bought are the opposite. From a safety point I would like to have the heavy bar in both doors. Is it worth swapping the door skins? My car is dated 5-72.
