1970Datsun240z

Hey, Welcome to the site. Looks like you got a nice Z! All the way in Russia too! Post some more pics as soon as you can! We love pictures here! John

Hey Dave, You brought up a really good question that I've been pondering. And I know what a real loooong week feels like! So don't worry about it. And yes, this is how we learn. John

Hi Dave, The color of my z will be white with two blue stripes. It's still a maybe on the stripes though, but definitely white. My car was built in 10/70. It could be a '71 but I have no title. The guy I bought it from called it a '70 and he, I guess, lost the title. So I have just called it a 1970. Also in the BD catalogs it says that from Chassis number 000013-21000 are 1970's but I'm not sure how correct that is. So I really don't know. Thanks! John

Hi Carl, Thanks for the advice We've heard more horror stories about fuel vapor lock than icing up. I'm also not really going to be driving it in the winter at all. So we're going to try not running the hot water through the intakes first, and if that doesn't work, we'll put it the way it was originally. Thanks! John

Thanks guys! Maybe I will get the car painted before I put the engine in. I didn't realize that it would be easier to do it that way. Yes, I am going to paint the car in a similar way I'll look into getting my bolts/nuts plated or I'll paint them. That sounds like a good idea. And maybe I'll paint the rest of the parts on there that aren't painted. The pipe we made is going to the heater not the carbs. So we aren't going to make a "T" for it. Is this going to cause a problem for me?? Thanks for the info! :classic: John

Hi! My dad and I have been putting a ton of work into this engine and transmission, and it's finally ready! Except that I have to wait for my transmission mount I ordered and it's taking forever! But if I've waited this long I can wait a little longer I guess So I just wanted to know what you guys thought of it. Any pointers on putting it in? I have a cherry picker that I'm planning on using to drop it in. I'm also going to take off the carbs and valve cover so I don't risk hitting them. I'm going to put in an electronic fuel pump instead of the mechanical one so that's why there is a homemade plate where the old fuel pump should go. I'm going to put it back near the gas tank. Also, my dad and I made a homemade pipe to go to my heater instead to the intakes as well because we're taking off all the smog. I have quite a bit of pictures so if you want more I can post them! If you have any questions I'd be happy to answer them Thanks! John

That's hard. But I think it looks better stripe-less. It looks cleaner and less crowded. Those are nice headlight covers

Nice video thanks for sharing. I love how it's in HD Z's are amazing!

Ok thanks. I will try to get it from him. The original engine has been rebuilt too. Here is a picture of it. It has 0 miles. His z is not in driving condition.

But yeah... it's just a bumpstop.

That's cool they are the same part number!

I replaced my rear shocks too. Mine were horrible!

oops... here's the pic

Oh I see what you mean. Yes there is a rubber spacer that goes under the spring seat. Here is another pic pointing at it.

Hey LowCarbZ, I circled in red in the pic what I think you are asking about. There is nothing that goes on top of that, if that's what your asking.

I just got a weatherstrip kit for my 240z from Black Dragon. It was $200. I haven't put it on yet though.

Hey, That's a really nice z! Those head light covers look sweet

That Z is amazing! Great work. That color looks really great on 240z's. I like the wheels too.
