My Listing: Authentic OEM Nissan Fairlady Z/Euro 70-78 Datsun 240z S30 Headlight Covers
At $660 with like 6 days to go, I think they will go higher than $750. Possibly double that...

The OG 240Z - Reanimation Project
The first part looks like a bracket for a spring perch for leaf springs. Don't believe either are Z parts...

I was Surprised...
Right now it's on the motor, but I was surprised at how the empty cavities will flash rust in high humidity. I'm sure I will always have the obligatory rust. Hopefully some small bolt somewhere,. A speck is a sufficient qualifier... ;)

3D printed Gearknob
Will it actually print polygonally or will the exterior be smooth and consistent? Restated, will the exterior be multifaceted or is that just a graphics display issue?

It wouldn't be a Datsun if it didn't have a little rust!!

I found on my car, vin is about 14,000 early car, the car had a hazard switch with the short harness. The longer harness one I had messed everything up. I don't believe they are interchangeable

The battery tray looks pretty good if you ignore the 5# mouse nest underneath it 😀

The large white with red made me think it was a primary relay...

Thanks Ernest, I have the large laminated wiring diagram. Makes tracing much easier

I'll check the old switch but I don't think it closed in a short enough distance either

Is that the accessory relay?

1971 HLS30-14938 "Lily" build
So I need a little help. I still don't have turn signals even with a new electronic flasher. I have tried a three wire with a ground and a two wire. I will save that for Cody at the moment. The other problem for the day is reverse lights. The switch I have has the leads torn off. So I ordered a new one for a 280zx transmission from a Z vendor I bought a number of things from and like doing business with. The new switch does not trigger fast enough. That is to say the plunger has to travel too far to make the circuit. It appears the plunger is brass so that seems to rule out adding metal to it with the welder. Is there another way to source a better switch? One that needs less travel or one with the plunger a little longer... The switch needs to trigger before the length is below 0.73". The new one needs to travel about 0.125" more to trigger

You can look for 1156 & 1157 bulbs on Amazon in all different colors. One bulb is a single filament one bulb is a dual filament

What model and year?

Probably true. The barn find is in a dry state but that seems like a lot of money for a project car... Yes, based on the BaT price it might be in the ballpark

There's overspray on the data plate! Lots of other issues with the car. The market is pretty weak right now. It's not going to bring 15k much less 50k!

Yes, Ive seen the Element ads at Hagerty. I think that could be a good option

I like to use a wooden shim. Find one that is the right thickness and mark it with a sharpy. Works really well...

240z Door Hinge Rebuild
Pictures would be good. You can probably get a view from inside the open door, towards the front. If they bolt from the outside in, the fenders will need to come off unless you don't value your paint...

Namerow got me searching... You can buy trammel point on Amazon pretty cheap. Add a 1x2 thats long enough and you should be good to go... https://www.amazon.com/s?k=trammel+points&crid=K19KM88E6XBD&sprefix=tammel+heads%2Caps%2C343&ref=nb_sb_ss_p13n-pd-dpltr-ranker_1_13 My frame man uses them alot to make sure the car is square and even. You set it for one side or one diagonal and the mirror side should be identical
