  1. I'm towards the end! This quarantine upped my start time.
  2. Sorry, not to being in disagreement but I always use google. Make sure and put classiczcars.com at the end though. The forum search has way too many results for me to read. I hope the forum makes some money from google too.
  3. Futofab.com

    We can't enter any municipal building with a pocket knife in my city. We go through metal detectors. How in the hell did these idiots get away with this? They'd be shot dead here entering with guns and mask covering their faces.
  5. My '77 does the same, whinning spinning noise until I push the clutch pedal down. Zed Head knows way more than me on these cars especially transmissions. I can say this from my personal experience. I drove the throwout bearing on using the old one as I had read online. I had the throwout bearing pressed on the collar at a machine shop on my 240. No noise, same clutch kit. Just putting that out as more info.
  6. This looks good, to me. https://scranton.craigslist.org/cto/d/chinchilla-1971-datsun-240z/7117771383.html $17,500
  7. That's what I'd call a "hot mess". $800 would be very fair IMO.
  8. Can you not reverse your muffler so the outlet is on bottom? I'm sorry but I haven't read the whole thread just the last few post. My Dynomax from MSA looks like this. My biggest complaint is how low the pipe fits under the rear crossmember. 240s have a smaller cut-out and my 2.5" won't tuck up nicely like my 280's does.
  9. Here's a good buy at $350 Shipping to me is $200 at least so I'm out. https://lansing.craigslist.org/pts/d/leslie-vintage-1974-datsun-260z/7111336931.html
  10. I have to apologize, just waking up and getting some coffee flowing but I realize the plates will also raise the bushing. Anyway, I say just tighten them down. That front sway bar is a real booger bear to put on by yourself. I used a jack to hold one side up while bolting the other side.
  11. You should have two plates that go under that bracket onto the frame. They'll make up a little distance for you. Just tightening them down will be fine.

    Banging pots and pans is cheaper.
  13. There's been some "end tails" on that seat, large too IMHO. Kind of squashed huh?

    I just saw the WH is preventing Dr Fauchi from briefing some kind of Senate committee. What's up? https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/us-policy/2020/05/01/congress-fauci-coronavirus/%3foutputType=amp
  15. I remember Fastwoman bought a fuel one way check valve from "sam the diesel man" on ebay. Many years ago but you might find him still. Good luck.
  16. I always use full choke on the first crank and let it run until it starts to stumble. This fills my filter everytime. Have you checked float chamber height lately? Before my filter was always filling, never full. Adjusted the floats and now it fills completely up within a few seconds. This is observed at idle of course. Glad you found a good pump! I run a cheapo GMB too without issue.
  17. I've seen that before too. But I'll be damned if I can find it again, I've tried for 10 minutes. Seems like it was a Z from Arizona? Maybe that's just my brain associating that Southwestern Aztec look?

    Appearance, showmanship, pageantry or whatever like our POTUS detracts from real work. My opinion and I get one too.
  19. Definitely Australian. I watched more and he has one at the Sydney Boat Show. In that video you can see his beer belly so I'm going with the 25 year old version, maybe older. He is funny! Thanks again Zed Head.
  20. Shade tree work around, clamp on the return fuel line to the tank builds higher pressure. This for testing only. Not a fix. Those pumps are $250 if you can find one. Bosch no longer makes them but Beck Arnley does, same pump to.
  21. This is Mr Irwins page. Wiper motor info is about mid page. Good luck! EDIT, bottom of the page. https://www.datsun-240z-upgrades.net/products/
  22. I have no idea Mr Arnett but what I read says '92 and up???? The Honda Wiper Motor Upgrade Adapter Harness is $25 shipped Using the 92' and up Honda accord wiper motor (or the 95' Civic -pre-notched shaft) in your 70' to 72' 240Z? This harness allows for the new motor to park correctly. The harness comes with the 6-pin connector that connects to the stock 6-pin connector on the firewall. It also comes with butt-connectors on the other end to connect to the Honda wiper motor wires. '93 Accord from rockauto. Are these the bolt holes?
  23. I've done a lot of work on my '72 in the past few years. I have tons of Nissan p/n in my build file if you need any. Another way for me was to go to http://www.carpartsmanual.com/datsun/Z-1969-1978 find the p/n and call my local dealership parts department and tell them the part number. They can look it up and see if it's available. Like Terrapin Z says I was surprised at the parts still available from Nissan for our cars. I'm having a hard time getting used to the single space between sentences they say use now. Old habit, but it never made sense to me anyway.
  24. Seal the chicken and I don't mean put a frickin walrus in there! Thanks for the laugh Zed Head. I really need some.
