Anyone know where to get a 5/8" to 3/4" hose reducer, preferably in metal? Dayco #80424 is abrass 5/8" to 3/4" adapter. Dayco makes a lot of belts and hoses so you should be able to get this at an auto supply store that handles Dayco. BTW it was $1.99.

I have an original '73 240z with 30k original miles. It is in excellent shape, no dash, cracks alloriginal hoses under hood etc. I am in the middle of a tune up and had some questions about the air cleaner. My air cleaner has two holes, @ 1" in dia, in the curved end of the cover that look like something attatched to it at one time. What are these for? Also someone installed a K&N air filter but it appears too thick. The cover won't seat against the back plate when installed with this filter. I picked a replacement filter at my local shop and it too was too wide. is it possible that I have an air cleaner from a 260? the prod date on my car is 2/73. any ideas wouild…

I ordered your CD on parts but, in the mean time I am looking to get started on the refresh of my 70 Z. It was orginally sold by Hoyt Datsun in Auburn Wa. I bought it in 77 from Monroe Street Datsun in Spokane, WA. and have had it ever since. Does some one make a replacement gas tank for these cars? If not how are you best restoring the ones we have. This car is stock except for the wheels. I never have had those. The orginal dealer put mag wheels on it.

ok well I am just about to get a 240 to replace my 280ZX that was just taken off the road. And i just wanted to know have many of you had any luck turning there 240 into a mustang killer? my goal with my next Z is to be able to kick the arse of all those kids driving around in there 5L's. I really like the idea of blowing away a 5L then telling him he was just beat by a 2.4L. What kind of success can i expect from doing normal mods. Like headers, exhaust, ignition, k&n filters, and a nice head rebuild. That's about all that is in my budget for the next year or so. PS. I will be sure to post a pic of my jem once i pick it out. Thanks

I had a Z before it was totaled and am still looking for anohter 1970 to 1973 240z. I wanted to know before I go ahead a buy another Z about swaping the engine out of it. I was wondering if an EFI engine would work in it, I don't want a small block v8 or a v6 in it. I want to go with 4 cyclinder, but one with a good amount of power. If I did, what thing would i have to do to it? I know i need something that could control the electronics without fully wiring up for the car, but I was also wondering if I used the engine out of a 1991-1995 MR2 turbo, how would I be able to get the transmission on the car to work properly. I was also wondering if the rear axle would hav…

I just picked up a 240Z which looked like it was in pretty good shape. I was told it had a blown head gasket but that wasn't true. Turns out the radiator has a couple of huge holes in it and a very loud rod knock. What can you expect for $600. Oh well, back to the question. Who has some good rebuild kits for these engines.
