I got 2 weeks " holiday " now.. but offcourse the weather sucks really bad..., it's going to clear up end of the month lol.  Well bad luck haha. 🤣

Did not drive the 240Z much this year, maybe done 400km total. Typical Dutch summers 😪

Have the 240z on the bridge for refurbing the underside. Saw the diff arrestor belt snapped 🤡. Just replaced that 2 years ago. Oh well... Immitation parts..

Does anyone have the original color code of the grey on the rear taillight panel? Original finish was matte? Its going to the paint shop next year for a few spots and the rear deck lid, so might as well do this 

 

@jfa.series1 Had a post on that.

Here you go:

Looks more like antraciet then dark grey? that color in the link is close to though

I was pretty sure you would not be able to get the same products since they are for North American market cars. But at least you would get an idea of the process. The paint in your link looks to be a bit darker than the one I use. The Ford color is more silvery and has a very fine metalflake. The matte clearcoat removes the shine from the metalflake. Here are two pics of the Ford color, one in the sun and one in the shade so you can compare to your available paints. Hope this helps.

I did not have a spare differential band by hand, so i made a temp one myself. See if it holds for now... The Nylon belt isn't so strong either

You need a pair of suspenders for that car now. 

(Taking a chance that it translates......)       

My 240z has no diff arrestor as it's called.. i made many years ago a steel U shaped part with some rubber Under the original diff. insulator!  This way it can't go anywhere!  (Sorry i got no pic of it)

My 240 needs a complete overhaul and there is laying around a new diff insulator..... 

Well that didn't last long, the bolts made it rattle, cut it off. I ordered a used old one from Ebay, let's be patience, and put that on...

yeah, but your 240z needs more than that mart, i wouldn't call it " vibration free " when i sat in it years ago. if you want to do it properly you need to invest big bucks in all the old rubber suspension parts etc

So this one is going to be on. Original used one..
