I've installed new calipers, rear wheel cylinders, pads, shoes, drums, discs, rear brake hardware, braided stainless lines at all four corners, 8.5" brake booster, and 1" Wilwood master cylinder. No fluid seems to be moving! I started at the rear corners (checked both) and no fluid coming out when brakes are slowly pumped (by my son). I then moved directly to the bleeder ports on the Willwood master cylinder and no fluid coming out when brakes are slowly pumped. I can hear air movement in the booster. I unbolted the master cylinder and pulled it away from the booster just enough to see the rod and had my son barely press the brakes just to confirm that it is moving...and it is. What am I missing?

Also agree, it has always been my understanding that things like fenders, hoods, hatches, etc. are all interchangeable on the S30 (1970-1978).

Ok, I've got a question...I got a pair of the '72 or later lines and swapped them out last night. While swapping them the port on the bottom of the 1" Wilwood master cylinder closest to the rear of the car had a constant drip the entire time I had the lines off while the port closest to the front of the car did not drip at all. Should I be concerned about this?

Yep, mine has those also.

I ran BFGoodrich Radial T/A’s on a car in the past and liked them. I've been hearing good things about the Falken Azenis for many many years from people running them on their Zs.

The flat top carbs are stock equipment for the '73. Agreed, why not change them out unless you were going for a factory correct restoration.

Z Car Jail for sure!! 🤣

This is why I have ALWAYS LOVED this site, best, most helpful people and good usable help!! 😄 Of all the Z sites I've been on over the years this is still my fav!

There's no value in the certificate posted, the seller is simply using that as a marketing tactic. I have my Zs registered on both ZHome (Carl Beck) as well as the Facebook group (Phillip). Both are free, neither add one cent of value to the car. They are just as advertised, a registry to help preserve data on Z cars knows to currently exist or data of ones known to have gone to Z heaven. 😉 Great info to have available, I've used both in research my self. @Racer X, don't join Facebook just for this...no reason for that, Carl's registry has been around far longer (and both seem to serve the same purpose).

Awe #$%@#$^!!!!!!!! I'm so glad I read this thread! I just went out and looked at mine and I have that issue also. I did not even notice this and just finished installing the new booster and Wilwood 1" master cylinder...I'm glad I did not have time to bleed the system yet. Now I have to decided how I'm going to fix this. 😕 Has anyone had success in tweaking the stock hard lines to reach the correct hole?

Nope, it's completely gutted and the inner panel is cut out to lighten it...the entire back side is cut out to lighten it. This is posed in one of the Facebook groups and there are pix of the backside. Someone mentioned something about the wheels... I think I looks pretty good with them!

@Sean Dezart, that's great news and really not surprising to hear...there is rarely something that nobody has not already done. 🙂 Question based upon your post talking about the 6-2-1 header fitment...with my 6-1 header are there modifications needed? Really wanting to understand if I will have to take it to a shop or if it will be a bolt in installation that I can do (I do not weld). Are you taking orders now or waiting until you have the items in stock?

🤣

@Sean Dezart, that is great info for those with the 6-2-1 header...as I stated I have the 6-1 header (see pic for clarification).

OMG what the hell happened to that poor Z!? 😞

That's the way I recall several others describing how to do this job several years ago @Persimmon240

That seems like an easy change to reverse should you ever decide you wanted to. I'd go for it if that is what you want. Unfortunately I cannot answer the rest of your questions as all I have is series 1 seats so nothing I can go look at or take pictures of.

@Sean Dezart, already having the MSA 6-1 header I'm curious if your system would work for me (by system I mean from the header back including the JDM muffler)?

Ah perfect, thank you @SteveJ, I was not sure what to call them when searching...seems quite obvious now.

I'm looking at getting the ANSA Twin Stack from here: https://dpangt.com/store/ (scroll down the page about 1/3 of the way to get to this item). Any experience? Thoughts? Opinions? I already have the MSA 6-1 ceramic coated header with the 2.5" outlet.

Do you happen to have a source for these (a link would be awesome!)?

Where did those come from? There are a couple places that you can go as I recall. Banzai Motorworks being one of them.

@siteunseen, do you have any information on the gasket...specifically the different material around the exhaust ports???

It sticks in my mind that people also have used an RX7 electric fuel pump on a 240Z with good results, that may be worth searching and reading about unless anyone here has first hand experience.

I bought a 240Z a while back that had a tow hitch on it, here's the only picture I seem to have of the tow hitch. Looks to be the same as @zKars'.
