sinnersahuayo Posted September 4, 2014 Share #1 Posted September 4, 2014 I found a 240z that has been on the road since 2006. With tons of extra part that will go with the car. What i did is oil change, clean the plugs, new wires, cap, rotor, points, clean the gas tank, lines bleed the brakes, clean the inside, removal tree sap, power wash and polish the car. Got her started then SU rounds tops crap out. So i clean them out and took me a away to adjust them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfa.series1 Posted September 4, 2014 Share #2 Posted September 4, 2014 Looks like a pretty decent car hiding under all that dust - the fact that it is running is a big plus. Looks like lots of loose goodies, hopefully all the interior bits are accounted for. Welcome to the group and keep us posted on your progress. You know where we are, help is just a post away.

sinnersahuayo Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share #3 Posted September 4, 2014 I finally unpack all the box and took a lot of pictures. Also de-grease the engine with a tooth brush, firewall, fender wells next is the hood. Also notice that my rear arms have no bushing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Maras Posted September 5, 2014 Share #4 Posted September 5, 2014 Nice score with all the goodies. If this Z is as "rust free" as it looks from the pics, it has spent it's life in a well protected home & you've found a rare one. Everything you've heard about the liquid sunshine in the Northwest is true. I doubt some areas in a Z ever totally dry out even in late summer, Congratulations, keep it dry & enjoy.Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanTechZ Posted September 5, 2014 Share #7 Posted September 5, 2014 Looks like you've got a good project, good luck and enjoy the process.If your car has dealer applied undercoating, which a lot of northwest cars did, do yourself a favor and do a very close inspection of the critical areas in the frame rails and shock towers as well as the floors. I found a small issue on mine in the area of the support plate on the lower front frame rail where the front suspension cross member bolts on when I scraped off the 44 year old undercoating recently. It's all fixable but definitely better to know about in advance.Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O relly have two size of seal. which one should i get. engine is match number and stockIm not sure why O Reilly is offering two different seals. Nissan quotes one for the L24 through to the L28 at $6.21 P/N: 13042-A8600For 6 bucks I would go original. That way you will know it fits.Here is a link to the parts manual for the S30Datsun 240Z/260Z Cylinder Block & Fitting L24, L26 (To Nov.-'74)SEAL-OIL :: Nissan Parts, NISMO and Nissan Accessories - Courtesyparts.comGood luck with your project.

dlmotorsports Posted September 8, 2014 Share #11 Posted September 8, 2014 Just saw that you scored a nice buy, and by looking at the pics you posted, it looks like you have access to the area thatr I currently need some close-up pics of...meaning the steering column/ignition switch wiring. If you could take some pics of this area so that I can see the up-close wiring...what color is connected to what color...that would be awesome and greatly appreciated. The wiring on the 73 240z that I am working on is all dismantled so needing some assistance! Thanks...and enjoy your new buy...these only go up in value...so awesome investment!
