Good afternoon fellow Z owners! Working through an issue on my '72 240z that seems to be somewhat common but with no common solution. Engine does not run smooth, shakes at idle, ignition timing set to 9 degrees BTDC at 900rpm. When accelerating under load it pops and backfires but not all the time. Fuel system is set to 3psi and per the gauge runs this all the time. I am running a Mallory 2363901 distributor with the UniLite electronic ignition module. Tach works in car. Baseline: Key set to Run, Battery = 12.14V. Using an Accel Super Stock coil 8140C. Mfg spec is 1.4 ohms Primary and 9.20K ohms secondary. Mine reads out 1.7 Primary and 11.61K Secondary. I wa…

I thought I had a transmission leak at the reverse light switch, but I fear its the front cover plate area. I get oil right at the weep hole of the plate between the trans and engine, the oil looks clean like transmission oil, there is oil (a fair amount) coming from the clutch fork boot. there is oil right at the engine to trans bolt area on the passenger side only, looks like its damp with oil but above the oil pan gasket (right below the starter), no oil above the starter. So we are off to pulling the trans and getting a look see what is going on. The good thing is I know it will come apart easy since so just have to plan a few hours to get the car up on jacks and…

I'm in the process of a major tune-up on my early '71. What is the consensus about the keeping or removing the pollution control system, in particular those items connected to the carburetor/fuel system. My primary goal is to maintain as much collection value as possible, since it #8225 made in 8/70. I don't live in a tough registration state, but could this modification keep the car from being registered in any states? (Not concerned about Alaska and Hawaii.) If the suggestion is to remove components, can you point me to some good instructions or videos? -Dann

The purpose of this thread is to discuss Z-cars at Concours events. I know that individual Concours events have been mentioned here on classiczcars.com, but I was hoping to set up a thread that might encompass all of them so that the subject is not so scattered. The goal is to have a Concours thread where people could offer tips, voice their thoughts and opinions, promote local Concours events, and of course show some awesome pictures. First off, entering your Z car in a Concours show is really a mixed bag for us Z owners. I remember excitedly talking with bobc about this subject the first time I was accepted into a Concours show. With sage advice, he told me not t…

The only option listed on the bill of sale for my 1973 240z is a "padded console armrest". I am the second owner and a personal friend of the original buyer. The car was well documented and all receipts saved in the file I now have in my possession. I have to assume this is the original armrest as my friends state that it had never been replaced, nor is there a receipt for any interior work. Any thoughts from anyone on the subject...?

What's the difference...? I need rubbers for my 1973...and no one seems to have them. I can wait on the fronts, but the rears have to go on before mounting the bumper to the car before installing the gas tank, etc, etc, etc....

While there is a bunch of work to do on this 240z could be a winner for someone with restoration talent. Sitting at $600 last time I checked . https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1971-datsun-240z-110/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey guys, I have 5 hours to burn and have found a cool salvage yard. It has three 280z’s and one 240z. If you need something that’s not really big or difficult to remove post in this thread and I’ll see what I can do for you. This is where I found Mikes ashtray for his 240z a few months ago.
