Hi from Greece...

[George_Zed]

hello my friends

 

I have some progress, I told you that this is a very slow project because of lack of time and limited funds

 

so, the frame rails, wheel well and passenger floor is fixed and I just removed the dash, mainly to clean the backspace and through the air ventilation.

 

I also want to fix the dash, after reading the helpful topics in this forum It has a dash cap right now but I want to remove it and do the job right

 

here are some photos of my Z

I can't find any part numbers for the filters inside the heater... I can't find any photos of these anywhere... any help? I could just use universal filters...

 

as you can see, cleaning the back and inside of the dash is a must... I will post photos after I clean and paint everything to look like new

 

sorry for few photos that need rotation but this was done while uploading them...In my computer these photos look ok...

Hey George, I've got the Nissan P/Ns for the heater hoses and valve.  It all cost around $100 from my local dealership.  Let me know if you want them.

Hi George looks like you have a lovely 240Z there, keep us posted with your progress, I'm almost a neighbour too in the UK and I recently imported a 72 from Spokane WA, they're great cars!

The hood release cable snapped on mine last week so I've ordered a new one from Zcardepot hopefully it will arrive this week.

thanks Cliff but these parts are still ok, no need to change them now especially when there are many things to do with my Z I saved your photo though (and part numbers are visible) just for my future needs ... great Z you've got there...

 

my problem is the air filters... I can't find them anywhere...and can't find any post referring to them

Air filters for your carburetors?  If so, which ones do you have?  I have the P/N for the stock oblong filter from Nissan, 16546-E3210, and K&N has a replacement filter.

 

Nissan,

George, I don't think there ever were any filters in the heater system, so I'm confused...

 

If you're thinking those floppy dirty pieces of foam and vinyl were filters, then you're incorrect. I think those are just for internal sealing of the duct doors and insulation, not filtering. Is that what you're talking about?

 

[George_Zed]

ok, I guess I am wrong... I was referring to what Captain Obvious wrote... those floppy dirty pieces of foam and vinyl... nice description Captain

 

can we find those anywhere? do I really need those? I guess I can use a universal foam in there just for the dust...

[Captain Obvious]

Haha! Floppy dirty pieces of foam and vinyl!

 

One of the Z specific stores might sell pre-cut replacements, but I haven't looked. I think most people just use regular hardware store foam and fabricate their own.

 

As for if it's really necessary or not... It's nice for the doors to seal well when you have them in the desired positions., but not a deal breaker if you get a little leakage past them. If you're in that deep, I'd put something in there, but it doesn't have to be perfect?

[George_Zed]

I will probably use something universal...  let's save some money from somewhere for a change

[Captain Obvious]

Sounds like a plan. I think there are a couple other threads already about people who have "re-foamed" their heater boxes.  Search around a little and I bet you can turn up some ideas.

[George_Zed]

that's true Captain... At the beginning I searched for heater filters and that is why I didn't find anything... now that I searched for heater foam I found some good info

 

thanks

 

I will post photos with my progress when I finish
