I finally posted a write up and pictures of my throttle linkage replacement with a Mr Gasket universal cable. The results are great, and the key was the throttle arm that I was able to source from speedway motors. Enjoy! Dave's 1972 Datsun 240z: Throttle Jerk Fix

Attached below is a great Datsun torque spec guide that I have come across, this should also help with your original question. General-Datsun Torque Specifications.pdf

Do we have a timeline of when to expect these new floats (weeks/months/years)? I'll certainly purchase a new set as well.

I purchased the bracket a couple years ago & it works great!

I've used these products in the past. It seems like its hit or miss, and I probably would not use it again. I have had it congeal in the radiator in my Wrangler & it became an even bigger mess when I went to replace the head gasket. If the car is something you're going to keep for a long time, it'll be worth planning for replacing the head gasket/radiator and flushing the entire system. The longer this goop sits in the engine, the more likely it'll get stuck in the cracks & crevasses.

I've been thinking of the same thing as well...interested in hearing others experience.

I'm looking for a set of N27 needles to replace my smogger N58's that I have in my 1972 roundtops. I have a set of SM needles from ZT, but I'm concerned that I'll be running too rich with my stock setup. Does anyone have a set they're looking to part with?

As many british floats are still available for SU's, I'm going to start exploring the opportunity of swapping float bowls. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Just wanted to provide a brief update on my experience with installing Miata Seats in my '72 240z. I ended up fabricating custom mounts and did not use the slider rails. Check my blog out for pictures: Dave's 1972 Datsun 240z: Miata Seats Installed

I've got 2 available that I'd be willing to part with, NOS/NIB and would like to get $60 out of each. I can snap some pictures once I get home from work.

Thanks for the writeup! I did a round of guessing the last time I replaced the brake booster.

I have a couple NOS Nissan filters, still in their box if anyone needs them.

Here's my writeup, including a lot of useful pictures I've run across over the years from fellow members, of how to replace the vent tubes. Don't get too overwhelmed by the spiderweb of hoses, once you drop the tank it becomes easier to see how/where they all connect. Dave's 1972 Datsun 240z: Smelly Situation

Has anyone used these louvers on the S30? Interested in experiences (good & bad) Willpak 10532 Aluminum Rear Window Louver | eBay

A car with a carburetor will 'smell' a lot more than a fuel injected car with a catalytic converter just because the method of the air mixing with the fuel. I thought the same thing with my 72 and once the carbs were tuned properly it got a little better.

What's the trick for attaching/removing the rear bolts? I seem to have quite a hard time with reaching from behind & under the seat to access the bolts. Any suggestions or words of wisdom would be appreciated!!

How were the passenger seats of the early 240z's attached to the seat mounts? Was there some from of fixed rail that the seat bolted to & that bolted to the unibody? I'm thinking of removing the sliders from my Miata seats in an effort to lower them to allow for greater comfort without cutting out the existing brackets.

Here's the latest one I got...enjoy 2062067818426733

Has anyone gotten word of any upcoming Spring Sale at Motorsports/MSA (www.zcarparts.com)? I'm looking to place a larger order, but am hesitant if a sale is upcoming now that we're almost to spring. Any info would be appreciated!

Wow, if I lived closer I'd jump on them! Anyone around Chicago looking to sell a set of 240z wheels? I'm tired of my steelies

What type of bearing separators are you guys using? I'm thinking about picking one of these up, but don't want to waste the $$ if I don't need it. Bearing Splitter & Large Bearing Separator
