Terrapin Z

On my MacBook I click on the picture once and it makes it bigger, then clicking on it again makes it full size, then i snip. No zoom on my resolution. I did not save to my computer either.

For those who need to read the number lol

Number 6 looks like a home made piece of cut out metal.

A post was just put on FB with some early 71 parts, and he had a jack. I had him take a pic of the stamp and it was UAB (Jan 2 1975) PM sent with pic's of some parts for your review.

I have some of these items, I will get some pic's and PM you.

If the Zcon beverage budget does not work out either I should have a set as well.

I had to go back down to Vancouver today and pick up the 280 shell. I have not made any arrangements to go look at them. If I read the ad right the real estate lady and son bought them from a hoarder house with the intension of building one from two. but the son has lost interest. Eve did send me more pic's after she finally agreed they were not in the CL ad. (now it looks like she loaded 10 pic's in the ad.) Pretty rusty and banged up. missing some pieces that let lots of WA rain in. I asked if she would sell the green one solo, but no. I think I would only be in it for parts cars, and it would have to be cheap......

I know right..... I emailed them, it is a real estate agent, and rather rude. I asked for more pictures and they reply was "I posted a lot of pictures" There is only one in the CL ad. After that crickets....... Hi, my name is Dave and I have a Z problem.........🧰🛠️🔩⚙️

I'll have to look into that. I haven't really sorted them all out. If I have all they styles I will make that effort. Thanks for the suggestion.

Two more popped up in Seattle area (Kent) 2 for $2k https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/pts/d/kent-datsun-240zs/7285722787.html

I do have a number of these in various sizes, all used of course. I have the same chart as RCV posted ^^ and this one as well. Let me know if you need more measurements.

"GET OFF MY LAWN!!!!!!!" 😄😄 Did you see the under 500 vin Safari Gold 240z barn find on CL Portland yesterday? Sold in 5 hours for $20K I just bought this on Monday https://portland.craigslist.org/clk/pts/d/vancouver-near-complete-280z/7279621884.html I still listen to the voices.........Though I have never cold called anyone. I just jump on the ads. I have been pretty lucky that way. I have run across some good parts and pieces, and missed some as well. Now my wife on the other hand - "Where are you going to put that?"

Mine came off pretty easy. It is for sale if you are looking for another stock one.

Pretty sure these are all the same through out the years.

PM with pic on the way.

PM sent

I'll sell you this core in the pic's (it will need a reaction disc, I shook it but did not hear anything. I may have used it in my Booster I bought from MSA. (also had no disc) been a while now. Then send it to these guys. ( I saw this on FB just now, but it is on OfferUp) They have good reviews. https://offerup.com/item/detail/1070491908/?_branch_match_id=857945268714343482 Or I am sure there are other reputable Datsun booster rebuilders. I would stay away from the chain car parts stores though. IMHO

I am not sure what kind of booster you get from AZ. It does not sound like the correct unit. Perhaps the people that rebuild them are not that good? I can easily remove the lock washer with a small pic. Then easily pull the push rod out. (Mine also had no reaction disc) I have never uploaded a movie here so excuse me if it does not work. I can not see the spring at all in the hole. I can feel it in there, but it is stationary and does not move around at all. Disc Out.mov

You know I have one.

Did you check it for a reaction disc?

Pretty sure I have a set, no clips. I'll check and send pic's

I have a couple of sets, I'll get you some pic's and info.

I should have something kicking around. 2 or 3 belt?

Once you get the replacement, I suggest you confirm the reaction disc is in there and glue it on if it is not already. I hope this all works out well for you. I think it is safe to say we have all encountered similar problems with these cars and have worked through them to fruition.

If you bought it recently maybe they still have it in with their cores, They usually don't get picked up until they have a good amount to make the load haul worthwhile. It would be worth a shot to ask. If it is gone I would at least try and get it swapped out for another one. Explain the issue with the brakes and content you think it was rebuilt incorrectly. If the spring is on backwards it will not push against the diaphragm correctly and will not function as intended. Auto Zone should get you another one. Those stores often get bad rebuilds with core product (reman's)
