Would anyone happen to have access to measure the height of the battery support shelf from anything fixed, like the front frame rail? Also, the clearance to firewall? Mine has been removed twice and I'm no longer certain where it should be.

Can anyone recommend a good cheap after market pump? can this can run on just the mechanical pump? if so do i need to eliminate the electric pump and fuel filter from the area near the tank? or can the mechanical pump pull gas through a non working electric pump? i will take it out and test it - just by hooking up to 12v battery.. if it works, are there relays in the passenger foot area and if so how many and what panel are they behind/ color. does anyone have photos of the stock pump and filter they stuck back there, and relays/fuses??? how can you tell this pump is running as i think it only goes when car is running.. thanks

I found this under my passenger seat in my 73 240z. Is this part of the seat belt warning system? If so how do you I reconnect it if I choose to.

What am I missing here? Is it a piece of rubber moulding? Is the bumper I have too short? I bought this Z (1973 240z with 10/72 build date) from original owner a year ago and have worked my way out to the front and rear cosmetics. I see some Z's with bumpers that extend neatly into that cavity. Mine doesn't.

Hello everyone I was wondering if anyone could help me out her. I have a 1972 240z that I'm planning on installing a 1982 280zx close ratio transmission with an R200 out of a 1988 SS 300zx VLSD dif. My question is and probably a few folks have asked this before is what drive shaft or propeller can I use? My car already has a t5 transmission from a 280zx turbo and what looks to be an R180 or R200. I does have the half shafts... Any help will be highly appreciated.
