Hi guys. I'm in the reassembly stages of a '72 240Z restoration. My dad bought the car new in 1972 and it's been in the family ever since. I disassembled it and kept the engine, trans, dash, wiring harnesses and a host of trim pieces with me here in Chattanooga, while he took the rest to back to where he lives in central NC and had the body restored, floor pans fixed, rust patched up, etc. See attached pics. In a few weeks, he's going to bring the car back to me so I can reassemble. All the fasteners and smaller parts are bagged and labeled and I took notes during disassembly, but it would be wonderful to have another 240Z to compare to make sure I get the hose …

Can someone tell me what is the correct emissions under-hood decal for a Z registered as a '71 and a manufacture date of 8/70? Is it the silver/white as for the 1970 model (https://www.zzxdatsun.com/catDecals.php) or a gold-tone one with a '71 date mentioned? There is no emission equipment on this car. It does not have the "new" air cleaner box. Were these applied at manufacturing or in the U.S.? Where did the sticker change? Any insights are appreciated.

I just realized that the 280Z has a deeper front cowl and more curved lower valance, meaning that stock air dams for the 240Z do not fit! What I am looking for is a spook type look for the 280Z. Not interested in the urethane wraparound style that replace the lower valances. Any ideas from the armchair experts? My front end: The issue with the 240Z style:

I am trying to figure out a fair market price for my interior tail light panel that is from my 1/70 240z, #806 VIN car. I have it laying around and don't need it. 1 crack at the mounting tab otherwise it is in good condition. I have it listed in the link below with photos. Any help is appreciated. I currently have it listed for 200 but I am thinking that I have under priced it. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1335561146626439/

I noticed this steering wheel on a petrolicious video featuring a Datsun 240z and was wondering if someone could help me with identify if the steering wheel was a Nardi Competition or a Nardi Deep Corn or something else? Also, with these steering wheels, what kind of hub/adapter do you need for it to work on the Datsun 240z/280z?

I've owned an early '71 (8/70, 8325) since 1975. I've moved since the purchase, so the title does not show the original owner. The serial number VIN does't work in today's VIN checkers. I've attempted to contact the selling dealer, with no luck. (I understand that it was the first Z that they sold.) Since I was 19 at the time, I didn't keep my sales receipt from when I bought it from the first owner. I'm open to all suggestions on where to go from here. What have you done to document the history of your car? DannDZ

So, I know I need to replace me current engine. I’ve considered rebuilding it but I’m also considering replacing it. I found an engine about 5 months ago at a salvage yard F52/P79 from an 82 ZX. I put $20 down to hold it. Total cost delivered to my house is $480. Wanted to build a mild performance engine...nothing crazy that’s not a turbo. This engine has 165k miles on it and is warranted to run. After pricing out all the parts I’m looking at around $1000 in parts to build back stock. Fast forward, was on CL today and ran across this engine for $2500. Says is a performance L-28 with all the specs. When I look at $1500 total to buy and build a stock engin…

Subject: early '77 280Z. Today's Query is a multi-parter... - Any opinions about whether the console and it's armrest/lid shell are of a Styrene plastic? - Has anyone ever felt the need, by necessity ("stripped" screws no longer holding the bottom finisher (a not-Styrene) to the top (Styrene) shell) or OCD urge, to disassemble the console armrest/lid? - Were you crestfallen to discover that most (especially those for the lid hinges) of the top shell's (Styrene) cast-in screw socket posts, were broken/shattered hulks of their former configuration? - Has anyone attempted repair/replacement? That worked? - If so, would anyone in this narrow clas…

I thought this was impressive. The 'Main Street America' car show sponsored by the Corvette Owners Club of San Diego was held last weekend at Sea Port Village. Probably close to 300 cars there. Taking first place in the 60-70's modified class was this 240Z. Yes, he was in the same group as the Vette's, Camaro's and Mustangs. Incredible. I had my roadster at this show about 5 years ago and it was pretty much ignored as it is primarily an American car show. Nice to see the Z's getting some attention. Pics below are from cars final build at Miguel's shop, paint by Miguel of course.
