What's the difference??? (Between Z Models)

February 26, 2001 by Guest telston

I'm new to the Z scene, and have been searching the internet without luck in looking for the differences between the z models, why one is better than the other, etc. All I have found is specifications, the fact that the 1978 280z is more luxurious, and that the 1973 240z is officially a classic.. (I think it was the 1973). Anyways the reason I am asking, is that I want to buy a z, and have been swinging between decisions on which model to buy. I have no clue why I should buy one over the other (differences in looks, handling, interior, etc.) Please help!!! Thanks for any help in advance.. Trevor

Brake Adjustment Discovered!

Hi All, I had been having trouble with too much travel on my brake pedal before the brakes would engage on my 70 240Z. After new pads, bleeding and no improvement, it was time to take them apart. What I discovered is that there is a plunger which goes from the brake boost into the Master Cylinder and it has an adjustment on the end. It is supposed to be adjusted out such that with the MB spacer plate on the booster the plunger sticks out 3.5 - 4.0 mm - mine was a cm too far in!! After making the necessary adjustment and putting it back together the brakes are fine... ------------------

I am considering buying a 71 240Z and i need some advice. It is my friends and has sat for 7 years. First it has a lot of body mods like fiberglass hood, front air dam, and fender flares. When it was on the road it ran really hot and i think it would overheat. It is not the oringinal motor. It has a 280 z motor with a 4 barel on it. Its a 4 speed and the body looks fairly nice. Last how hard is it to get parts for these cars and are they expensive? Any ideas would help greatly. Also what should I look for and how much should I pay?

I am new to 240Z. I have a chance to buy a 72 240z. The Z was hit hard in the front driver side. I am pretty sure the frame is bent. The engine looks good and the interior is in good shape also. I can get it for around $400.00. I would like to rebuild it but I was wondering if I should just buy this one at part it out. Any info would help!!!! Also is it possible to straighten the frame?
