Lets not forget this is a California Datsun engine! That's probably the root of the problems! After these years, I would have just purchased another engine with the stock cam and not messed up by a builder that doesn't know what they're doing.

can you please show a picture of the other side of the 2 air filters? Thank you.

I've said this years ago, and I'll say it again....I think its the crappy California Datsun engine and most likely the hot Cam that was installed in the head. I've rebuilt these L6 engines and its not rocket science, unless you're an idiot. Good luck.

I 3D printed my bezel and it works great. Looks like ZcarDepot sells them too. https://mito3d.com/en/3d-models/print-details/3092241/datsun-240z-map-light-bezel-scans-&-repl

I've been using a lot of seam sealer from underneith while my trans & diff are out. I can't believe how many cracks there are between the sheet metal and everywhere else.

I thought this "rebuilt" engine had a hot-cam installed in it. Outside of the original Datsun specs and there are going to be problems for day-to-day driving. This one might be set up for WOT and will run great, but driving in traffic will probably suck.

These are mainly early 240z fuel tank bits, but wanted to share in this new thread. I take no credit for the photos, just some I've collected along the way. Fuel-1973 240z 1974 260z fuel system modifications.pdf

I like my original BRE, below are some pictures that you never seen related to the mounting: https://jarvas240z.blogspot.com/2015/05/bre-rear-spoiler-install.html

This the best instructions that I found but it doesn't address the throttle shaft itself being worn. https://windyridgefarm.us/documents/DIY_Guide_to_Re-bushing_SU_Carburetors.pdf

Has anyone attempted their own roller bushings similar to what ztherapy manufactures? I wonder if that’s the solution we need for us guys who don’t need all the bling but want the carbs to perform. I’d order the ztherapy kit but I’ve heard it’s almost a year backlog!

I had to replace the ignition switch (behind the key) on the steering column as my 45+ year old one in my '72 seemed to have crapped out while cruising down the highway due to the bouncing of the keys against the ignition switch.

Here's how I did it with two relays: https://jarvas240z.blogspot.com/2015/05/amfm-antenna-upgrade.html

I had the same thing on the first side I did. Gotta get that seal pounded all the way in (gently!) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for your help! I'll make sure that I "pay it forward" with others who may need some of the old bits that I've collected over the years.

Thank you!! That would be great if you can send me one, happy to pay a fair price and shipping. I’ll send a personal message with my email. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
