http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=24317&cat=500&ppuser=14175 I cant figure out how to post a pic but i think this link may work. But anyway i think i have what you may be looking for, i have 6x9 in my car. let me know and i will get the demensions for you.

Guess I thought I'd finally say that I fixed the problem, definately the clutch. I've been driving it around for a couple weeks now but when I first start the car up and drive every once in a while when shiftng into second (mainly when the car is first started) there is a slight grinding noise and can be difficult to get into gear but once the car warms up it seems to be fine. It works just fine on all the other gears. Any Ideas?

Sorry a7dz, most likely wont, I'm only in highschool and the end of the year finals are coming next week and not to mention work. But there is always a chance, maybe....

Anyone know how to fix this or what it may be?

Hey guys, I searched the forums but couldn't find any thing about it but my tach needle gets stuck at 4,000 RPM's. The only way to get it back down is by tapping tachometer face until it goes down, not my favorite thing to do while driving. Anyone else have this problem and can it be fixed without removing the dash? Thanks Graham

Hey, I need to go pick up some transmission oil in a few hours and I just need some opinions on what you guys would recommend. Graham

Still have not got the car driving yet, I've been too busy, very frustrating. When the clutch was removed about half of it had disinigrated, so I'd say that's the problem. I thought I'd ask you guys your opinion on what type of transmission oil I should use, is the mt90 oil pretty good, anything better?

Looks to be the clutch, I was moved the rubber boot on the push rod and pieces of the clutch started falling out, guess it was goog to replace the cylinders any way. My last post kinda made it sound like it was the trans., most definatly isn't thankfully. Got the car up on jack stands and I'm ordering the clutch kit today, so hopefully the car will be drivealbe buy the weekend, hopefully being a kew word.

Replaced the master and slave cylinders and it didn't fix the problem. Were going buy the clutch kit with the throwout bearing and the pressure plate, looks like the transmission is coming out

Will do Greenzzz, I'm ordering the parts today so I should be able to fix it on saturday or hopefully sooner.

I know that it is not the transmission since drove it home in 2nd gear. I'm just going to replace the master and slave cylinders and just hope that fixes the problem

The Clutch Master is full and is holding but when the clutch went it was getting pretty low.

Hey Carl It looks like the clutch fork is moving, so any ideas what else it may be?

I'll have to go check it out tommorrow. I could be confused on what is what but one of the cylinders is getting 2 inches of movement (guess) pretty sure its the master, but not positive. I think I will just buy the slave and the master cylinder that way I dont have one break as soon as the other one is fixed:) thanks for the help, I'm new to the z cars, always loved'em though. Think JCWhintney would have these?

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 a dampner or a slave cylinder, right? Any ideas were to get a new master cylinder would be great too, local auto parts store said they could get one to me for about 60 to 70 bucks. Thanks a lot for reading and any suggestions. Just want to get her back on the road soon, miss driving it:cry:

That's some funny stuff, I have to agree that the bras are pretty ugly, I was just wondering how much I could get for it. The guy I bought it from said It was a factory option, guess he was wrong:)

I have the factory bra cover for my 1973 240z and I was just wondering if these things are pretty hard to come by? It seems to be in great shape but I have no idea how much it would be worth. Any ideas?

I didn't show any pics of the frame and battery box or those other places just becuase there is no rust even the spare tire well is in perfect condition. As for Vin and production date, The car was made in 4/73 and vin is 154866. I am just going to keep fixin the thing up, I'm going to get the rust spot fixed and the car needs new tires so I might look into wheels for it too. I'm thinking about taking the bumpers off but I'm not to sure if that will leave giant holes in the body where the were mounted. Anyone know?

The link to the pics are now approved so you can check out my car

Hey I tend to get 15 to 18 in town depending on how I'm feeling and about 22 on the highway. It's the original motor with a rebuild a few thousand ago and a five speed transmission but I have some 32 36 weber carbs on the car.

Here are the pics of my car!!! Sorry about the psyching you all out and then just waisting your time. I showed the rust on the driver's door and the cracks in the dash other than that its rust free(hopefully)!!! The 73 carbs have been swapped out for 32 36 Webers. The guy I bought the car from is rebuilding the 72 carbs and said he would put those on, I am undecided which carbs to keep though, Any input would be appriciated! It better have worked this time or I'm going to be mad:mad: http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=14175
