Terrapin Z

Back down to $3K again.

I ended up buying this parts lot. I have sorted through it now, and will be selling off a lot of it. It is mostly 280 parts and some ZX. If you are still interested, I will help you out if I can. Chris did not forward me anyones contact, although he said he would.

I did see this one this morning, I just didn't have time to contact the seller. Tacoma is not that far from me. Looks to be sold now. Hope it went to a member. When I first saw the ad, there was no price, he wanted to trade for a few select cars. I figured he would be higher than $3K

Fair enough.

My recent purchase was from a Hybrids member near Seattle. He is moving and didn't have the time to list everything separate. I picked a junkyard 240Z that was on CL recently too. I was thinking about $125 shipped (shipping to LA area was about $40 in a well packed box)

I picked these up in parts hoards I bought over the years and am looking to sell, as I will never use them. Plus I need funds for my car's projects. N42 Non EGR manifold with throttle linkage SOLD N47 EGR manifold just bare, $100 shipped W48 EGR Webbed manifold as shown. $80 shipped All look to be in good shape I don't see anything of issue. As is. Shipping is in the 48, if you want them from outside of that we can calc-a-rate. Ask any questions..... Thanks N47 W48

I just picked up this nice looking radiator in a parts buy. If you are looking for used, a few dings in the front fins. It is a APDI 8010634, and seems to be a very common parts store or online replacement, 3 core 75-78 @$200 + if you are looking for a new one.

Not mine, but it just popped up on CL a few hours ago. https://seattle.craigslist.org/est/pts/d/72-240z-factory-radio/6530703175.html

Good call, I didn't look them over that close. Still a lot of good parts on this one. Hubs, strut housings, taillight finishers.

Some new pics posted, someone bought the fenders and the radiator. The wheels were gone before I got there. A shame they just drop it on the ground like that. Extra suspension parts in the back and the door glass too.

I has the early grill, look at the length of the fins, it has 4 long and 3 short. There were a number of parts on this car that were early, like the inner tail light panel, and the steering wheel. There are 280 parts in the back as well. kind of a mix mash up.

@Mark Maras I did go back yesterday and picked up the radio, antenna the heater panel, and a few other small parts.

It is sad to see them like this, funny how we end up with two cars that were built by the same people on the same day perhaps. Now 44 years later, siblings in cyberspace, in very different shape.

No face plate. I thought about the radio I didn't have the $ to get it. I was expecting it to be picked over having been on CL for 2 days. These don't last long in the yards. I posted this so other members know about it and can get in on it. That was the main focus for my trek there. An early 70 solid spoke. I did get it.

This popped up on CL last week, went out and bought some pieces. It is pretty rough body wise, it has Weber's on it. and some extra suspension pieces in the back. Now we know the fate of HLS30-167421 https://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/pts/d/1973-nissan-240-parting-out/6523470021.html 73 Puyallup.pdf

Of course, that's why I posted in you query. PM ed

I have one Don, I used a 4 speed shifter in my car's swapped zx trans. New bushings as well.

Looks something like this.

The cable hooks to a small metal tab at the very top of the throttle pedal assy. It is a flexible cable not a ridged one like the chokes. They were supposed to be removed at the point on entry (dock yard) or at the dealership "pre" sale. Perhaps the dealer just cut or removed the cable.

Hardway, I have a stock Nissan windshield out of a parts car. It has a sizable rock chip in it. I took some straight measurements across the arc at the top and bottom, and one up the middle. Each has a wide angle so you can compare in the same location, and a close up of the measurement. I hope that helps you out. middle 21 3/4" Bottom 55 3/4" Top 48"

I just used O Reilly's for the tool loaner program, I am getting Neapco U joints from a Driveline shop in Chehalis. They are called "The U Joint" Neapco has been around since the 30's like Spicer and make U joints for a lot of farm equipment. (heavy duty) They look just like a spicer and are US made. Greasable too! Seeing I am not running more than stock HP I think they will work just fine. Better than the "premium" ones you get at O R.

We are sitting the same boat and didn't even know it. I am replacing all 4 U joints in my half shafts, I was able to get two done yesterday as the shop had to order in the other two U joints. They should be in this morning. I found that O Reiliy's loans out the Ball Joint remover that Mike W mentioned in your other post. Basically it is free for 3 days you just leave a big deposit. It worked great for half the job and then I used a large C clamp with the sockets for the reassembly of the other half.

I have heard the trick is to flip the bushings over and change the pin position. I like the bends you made, I still have the straight ZX shifter too, and a straight 510 shifter along with a 720 shifter. I should be able to make something work. I thought the R200 used clip in half shafts, not the bolt on with the Diff stubs. I could be wrong. The later K diffs had clip in for sure, thats what I am going to use. The half shafts should be the same length except for the VLSD which had different R to L. I have not gotten far on my 5sp swap yet. I keep cleaning and painting all the other parts.

Don, tell me about the shifter in the background.
