Does anyone know of a body shop that will do restoration on a 1973 240z? I was hit about two weeks ago, and I have had no luck finding a shop to do the job. Damage is mainly on the Front Right Side. Thanks! -Adam

I've made the decision to convert my son's '76 FI to carbs, and need to get hold of good resources to do it right. I've read a number of posts, and believe I've got some great starting info, but need manuals on proper installation and setup for a '71 SU setup. Thanks in advance for direction.

Hey everyone, I'm driving my 73 240z and while shifting into fourth gear the clutch suddenly stops working and I am unable to get it into any gear. After getting it home and upon further inspection it appeared that the master cyclinder for the clutch has failed, at least that's the best guess and just want to make sure before we order a new one. So when I press on the clutch it is completely limp and we bleed the master cylinder and it was really dirty, it was a greenish brown color. When the clutch pedal is pressed on you can still see the operating cylinder pushing the push rod, but the pedal still as no pressure. Just to make sure this year doesn't come with …

I want to upgrade my stock differential in my 1971 Datsun 240z. I already upgrade to the 5spd tranny from a 280zx. Do I have to go with a all new assembly or can I get a mechanic to change out the gears? I want to get a better acceleration.

Hello everyone, I will be swapping out my auto to a manual conversion here in a very short time, and have just a few questions. I have someone who has a 1974 260z pedal assembly that he can sell me. I was just wondering if this assembly would work for my 1973 240z. (this will be both the clutch pedal and brake pedal, seeing as from what i've read, the brake pedal for a MT is smaller then the AT.) I also have someone who can sell me a 1972 240z pedal assembly with the actual hard line from the MC to the SC. He on the other hand has been hard to get in touch with and i don't know if he'll come thru. He is very busy lately and hasn't returned my e-mails. Anyway, i was just …

I've got another question for you guys here. I forget what this does, but I know that a couple hoses run off of it and not sure exactly where they go. If it's something to do with emissions, then I'll probably just leave it or take it off as all the emissions crap was taken off. I'm thinking about hooking those two hoses back up to it, but not sure where they would go and what the purpose of the "bottle" is for. Here's what I'm referring to.

I'm a bit perplexed with my father in law's 240Z. We backed it out of the garage this morning for the first time since the fall, and hooked up the battery charger. The battery charged at about 2.7-3.0 amps for about a half hour so we tried to turn it over. The starter clicked repeatedly (like it does when your battery is too low to turn it over). Probably a bad battery, we thought. So we put the car on a boosting charger to try to get it started, and when the boost kicked in, it did the same thing. I bridged the posts on the solenoid with a screwdriver, and it only hummed and did not turn over. Any ideas? Any help is appreciated!
