Put me down for 1 or 2 depending on price. this would be great for those of us that hate auto electronics

What is the name of this body shop? Anyone who stands behind their work like that should get their name mentioned. Nice front spoiler. Looks good with the 78 bumper. I especially like the air ducts or are they for extra lights?

if you look on the backside of the door panel you can see the holes where the power window controls went. however i have not seen any usa cars with this option. was it only offered in oz and nz?

somebody welded up the hole. did you look from the inside of the firewall? if you scrape off the paint in the general area you can probably find the old holes. i think i see the faint outline of the top hole in the pic

holy crap you sure got your money's worth on that one dennis

why do you need measurements if its the same as the 280? just pull off the block off plate on your recipient car

im not sure about the early 260 but i had a late 260 and the lines went in the same place where the 280 lines went. if late and early 260 are the same then you do not have to drill any holes in the firewall for the high and low pressure lines. From the factory there is a block off plate screwed over the holes. Just remove it and feed the pipes thru. when you called it "factory" what did you mean by that? datsun factory or aftermarket factory? this is the engine compartment of a 260z with nissan factory a/c

well for me it was worth the time to get it where i liked it. having to slam the door every time makes you fell like the car is a pos, plus its not good for the window frame or glass and you could dent the weak metal just above the door handle.

sometimes body shops adjust things too perfect. I've found that if you open up the gap between the door and the quarter panel, i.e. move the door forward in adjustment, and the fender forward, the precision seals work fine. a good way to determine if the door gap is too tight is to close the door and look at the door from INSIDE the car where it meets the quarter panel/latch area. it will probably look like the door metal is very close in some areas or rather uneven or touching the gasket even before the door is fully closed.

atsg manual on cd rom. i need to buy one of these myself http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nissan-L3N71B-ATSG-Techtran-MANUAL-on-CD-Repair-Rebuild-Transmission-Guide-/190648733972?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2c638cd114&vxp=mtr

it is a reusable part, just clean it real good. its there to strain garbage out of the system. try asking this guy on ebay. he has some ac parts http://www.ebay.com/itm/Datsun-280Z-A-C-Evaporator-Housing-/160763180345?pt=Vintage_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item256e3b7539&vxp=mtr

picture? sounds like someone added an inline filter or are you talking about that little cone shaped fine filter that goes inside the high pressure line?

orfice? you mean expansion valve i think. if you have the datsun factory evaporator core, that expansion valve is no longer avail from the dealer. Has anyone tried nissan dealers in canada? Your options are to test your and if good reuse, get another used one or put an aftermarket evap core in that takes a generic expansion valve. those are a couple hundred bucks. In my car i put in a used one. i used the freezer method to test the first. it closed ok but when i put it in the car the pressures were off. the second one i got off ebay works great.

there is an evaporator behind the dash. i believe you have to take out the dash to remove it in the 240. I'de just leave it in. Its not worth the trouble of possibly cracking your dash to get to it. fwiw i took out the old aftermarket system in my 280 and sold the complete system on ebay for a couple hundred. i think i was very lucky getting that high price. the dash had to come out in my 280 to remove mine. why not sell the parts with the car? you're in az where a/c is mandatory. is the buyer from az?

can you imagine how full that trunk must have been? thats a big animal hide and head. i think the only way to save that car is to paint the floor and walls of the trunk and leave the windows rolled down for a year.

not mine but damn funny stuff. look at the first reply. http://nissandiesel.dyndns.org/viewtopic.php?t=2876

not mine but thought someone might be interested. pictures look pretty decent http://smd.craigslist.org/cto/2841630772.html

if you just plan on doing nothing, get a fire extinguisher because you're probably going to have to use it. sounds to me like you need to replace all the rubber hoses that connect to the injectors. ALL of them asap with special fuel injection hose rated for high pressures.

it included the chrome strip. no need to staple your own. http://www.blackdragonauto.com/icatalog/zr/full.aspx?Page=17

a japanese friend brought this for me. i dont know if anyone has ever seen one of these but thought i'de share it <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/munZOHW87uU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

no the zerts are threaded and unscrew. sure, you can reuse zerts. no need to replace u-joint you've already installed.

photo? ide go get a smaller zert or pump it full of grease and plug it. didnt your old ujoints have plugs in them? auto part store usually sells them with a small set of zerts.

try early 80 nissan sentra locks or 720 datsun trucks. they are pretty plentiful in the junkyards. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Door-Lock-Cylinder-Tumbler-Set-2-matching-keys-/140616439959?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3ASentra&vxp=mtr&hash=item20bd649897 i have also seen people remove the broken tumblers and put the lock back together. lock still works but would be easier to pick. but who needs to pick these locks when just a screwdriver inserted into the lock strips out the hole in the door sheetmetal. i know because someone broke into my 720 truck this way and stole a pair of sunglasses.

on a side note to the headliner install... i tried to reglue my old headliner in but the old foam was too rotten. i used that super yellow adhesive that you roll on. wedgewood i believe, killer smelling stuff. after a week in the hot sun it bubbled again.

maybe someone can give you some tips on fixing it.
