  1. 260s have a choke lever and cable. But the cable exits the firewall on the passenger side. But too many bends cause to much friction for the cable to work effectively. A solution is to run the cable inline with the consul on the driver side and out the firewall, similar to an early 240. I'd just like to see if anyone has done it before drilling another hole in the firewall.
  2. Has anyone successfully added working choke cables to 40 mm Mikuni's in a 260Z? Your suggestions or photos would be very helpful. Thanks

    Don't tease me!
  4. This is a good weekend to pick up a free transmission!
  5. Just want to bring this opportunity to your attention again. Thanks for looking.

    I have an unused, like new set of these early NGK sparkplug wires. They were installed on my engine during assembly but were replaced with higher performance wires prior to startup. Unfortunately, the coil wire was not returned by the shop. I'd be happy to sell them to the highest bidder, plus shipping. Please make an offer. Thanks for looking.

    Thanks for trying!

    According to the fiche, the "Datsun" plates were used on US cars until 1/76. After this date, the "non-Datsun" plates were used on all US 280Z's. However, the plates fit all early Z cars.

    Whatever! If anyone could use these kick plates, please get in touch with me in the next few days.

    They would be new stock if they could be purchased thru Nissan. I don't believe that is the case now.

    For Sale: (2) NOS Kick Plates - Polished Datsun Part No.: 76950-E4101 Quantity: 2 Price: $150.00 for the pair, plus shipping Before I put these kick plates on eBay, I though I give club members first shot at them. The plates will fit 240, 260 and 280 models. They are in very good condition, polished and can be considered restoration quality. Some light roll-forming marks from manufacturing are on the vertical sides. The marks are only noticeable close up with the right light. I purchased these kick plates a few years ago but found a pair of NOS "Datsun" kick plates to use instead. Thanks for looking.
  13. According to the fiche, the right and left side 240 and 260 side glass have the same part number. My left window glass looks really good. I don't think you would be disappointed. You might consider buying the right and left glass for a consistent tint. Please send a private message if you would like to take a look at the glass and we can arrange a convenient day and time. Regards.
  14. I have a left and right door glass for an early 260. If you determine they are interchangeable with a 240, I can check the condition. I believe they are in good shape. Since you are in Delaware, local pickup is an option.

    Meaning???
  16. Do these settings apply to a 260Z with 205/60-15's?
  17. Other than the FSM alignment specs, are there recommended settings for greater high speed stability or better handling for an early 260Z? The suspension on my car has stock springs, Bilstein inserts, heavier anti-sway bars, front and rear camber adjustment kits, t/c rod kit and adjustable t/c rods. The car will only be used on the street. Thanks.

    I have a right-hand bucket that is in good condition, but needs new studs. If you are interested, a few photos can be provided. Regards.

    Another option is to fabricate a rear spoiler out of sheet metal.
  20. I may have a right hood hinge. I'll check and get back to you.
  21. Good idea about the photo. Thanks. As shown in the photo, the condenser is currently connected to the resistor block. But I'm thinking it should be connected to the black with white strip wire on the right that accepts a bullet connection. The condensers for the voltage regulator and the alternator have similar connections. I haven't been able to find a photo of an original 260 coil that shows what the black with white strip wire connects to. The FSM and fiche are not clear. Any thoughts?
  22. There are just (3) little holes ready for headlight covers. They could be easily filled it.
  23. Somebody must know the answer. What is the correct connection point for the condenser? Thanks.
