Thanks guys. Really appreciate all the help here. I'm going to try and get my friend to clean up the boxes in and around the car so we can have a better look at it. Don't know what year the car is but i'll run the VIN when I get it and let you guys know. I am definitely going to take my time with this puppy since it is not mine and i'm doing this for my friend. Apparently he would like it done for his father as well so this needs to be near perfect. I'll probably create a new thread once we get started on it and document what we do. This should be an amazing project

Awesome! Thanks for all that information guys! I'll sift through everything tonight since i'm currently at work. Y'know i'm not actually sure Gary. I went to take a look at it yesterday night and from what my friend told me, it hasn't run in 15 years and it was never winter driven or beaten on. I hopped into the car and i tried to put it into gear but even with half my strength I wasn't able to put it in gear. The Clutch pedal seemed really soft too. I assumed that these cars are like my CRX where it's cable driven clutch so I thought i'd have some sort of resistance but barely had any. I'll have to go take the boxes and stuff off of it and inspect the engine. The only reason I want to replace things is because if i'm taking the engine apart to see if anything is busted and re-greese everything, I might as well make a few modifications. I'm pretty stoked with this project. I'll be taking a lot of pictures to help me remember where everything goes. Maybe i'll create a build thread and see how that goes.

Hey guys, First off i'd like to say i'm a complete newbie with the z-cars. I've never worked on such a presitge car before. The earliest car i've worked on is a 1990 Honda CRX which is my current baby. Might have to move over for a 240z though!!! So i'm asking for some help here. This car has been sitting for 15 years and has never been run in that time. The body looks pretty damn mint. I looked underneath and hardly any rust except for the exhaust. Which I don't really give two $h!ts about. My question is... Do any of you know any Canadian (hopefully in Ontario) places that sell parts for this car?? I'm pretty much looking for engine parts. I might try and rip apart the engine myself and rebuild it. So i'm looking for Cams, Pistons, Rods, Injectors, Turbo, Intercooler, Rad, Exhaust, intake, throttle body etc. I'm probably going to need a new transmission too so ideas on where to get those would be awesome. Now if for some reason I cannot rebuild it, what other type of engines are possible to go in there? I've heard corvette motor/tranny's are able to go in there with ease but what is involved electrically etc? Any and all information would be MUCH appreciated. Thanks for helping a newb out!

Hey guys, I'm pretty new to the Nissan/Datsun community. My friend actually has a 240Z in his garage that used to be his parents. It was never winter driven and has been sitting for 15 years!! I've been designated to try and revive this beast of a machine. I have come to this forum to seek aid from all the wise/knowledgable people out there. Please excuse my newbie-ness in questions about the car. I have never worked on a Nissan/Datsun before. Thank you all!
