Ok, Guys... I have decided to list my Z for sale. Take a look.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2435697913&indexURL=0#ebayphotohosting thanks ZSLED

What year model 240? Color? Is Texas to Far? Thanks Zsled

Thanks for looking guys, It sold on eBay for my buy it now price. I appreciate all the help in selling this item. I am going to miss this group. Zsled

Well maybe there is a saving grace! I found this out just now... The proposed replacement technology--is it >R134 or R143 or somesuch--is going to be phased out in a few years >with no prospects of a "drop-in" there either. There WERE quite a few viable DROP-IN or "near" drop-in alternatives developed for automotive A/C.. The auto industry and MACS managed to get them all banned or boycotted onto the shelf. Only the auto industry "requested" R-134a is allowed or marketed now. So it looks as though there is a difference between the R134 and the R134A. Here is the link to the site... http://yarchive.net/ac/oils.html Thus the cost difference as noted in the MSA book.

It looks pretty much like the same kit! They mention some of the parts that aren't showing. It really looks identical to me! See now I have to go and lower my reserve And the Z love hate relationship continues.... Freakin Foreign Tin Can! Doh did I say that a loud! Zsled

Hey Now! I know I posted that I was taking a $54,000 pay cut to get some fun out of life. The reserve is set high for now and I will watch the auction to see if I need to lower it. The reserve is currently set to $750.00. I don't mind if I needed to meet someone close to me or in the DFW metroplex as that is where I currently work to drop off instead of shipping. I actually got beat up by MSA on this deal and wouln't recommend them to anyone. When I ordered the unit, they told me it would take 2 weeks to process and drop ship the item. 4 weeks later no package so I called and talked to a young rep. He said that the item was back ordered at the vendor site and would be available in 2 weeks. Well all and all it took 2 1/2 months to get the unit in and MSA charged my card an for an increase in the unit price and shipping. I was charged $779.99 for the system and then charged another $49.00 for the increase in the unit price from the vendor and on top of that charged an another $25.00 for shipping fees. I was very disappointed and contacted MSA. They told me when I received the box to just contact them and they would issue me a RMA# and it would take 2 weeks to refund my money on the card. Just an bad exp. all around. Zsled

Guys, Well I have made the choice to change careers. I am taking a $54,000 pay cut but I am hoping the change is for the best. With that said, I have... 1 MSA R-134A a/c Kit for sale. It is the full monty! It includes all warranty and paperwork. It is still in the box and it is 5 months old. It can be seen here... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&category=46094&item=2419076863 Thanks for looking. Zsled

Hey guys, I got to clear some room. I got a good project or parts car for sale. Take a look at my ebay link and let me know what you think. I will take the starting bid for it if I can sale it outside of ebay. Here is the link... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&category=6187&item=2414926750 Thanks James

I am trying to replace the gasket and diff oil with out dropping the diff.

I don't know of any in DFW, but I know of one for a lot of imports including Datsun in a town called Bokchita, OK just north of the redriver in OK. I lived in Durant for a while and it is just 15 min east of Durant OK on HWY 70. I will look up the number in the morning.

Is there an amp. difference in alt. between a 1972 240 and a 1975 280. If yes, then what. Would I need to follow the conversion guides out there like they have for the 280zx models?

I purchased two new gaskets for my 240 rear diff. I thought this would be a no brainer. I also purchased an air tool set up and a new compressor. I figured It was time to get serious with my Z. I put it up on JAck stands and started to look around. It looks as though I have to drop the front cross member for the rear diff and also the two cross bars that connect it to the body. With this done the rear I-bean fall down for the rear tires and the diff starts to fall. Am I doing this all wrong. I really need to replace the seal and clean this unit up.

Hey all been a while since I have posted, but I just purchased a new A/C system from MSA for my 1972 240. I was wondering if anyone had any exp. with these systems from MSA? I was looking to see if the systems are reliable and easy to install. THe system was $779.00 USD for the entire system from pulley belt to switch on the interior.
