So how the doors shut with those seals ? Be honest, do you need to slam, or a modest slam, or easy close like modern doors ?

Okay then it was two piece.... Well I solved that problem with mine, it closes as easy as a mercedes benz, so no problems with that. The problem with most immitation seals is that today's rubber that is used is to stiff for compression.

If your Z is early 71, cause i think so seeing your vin, you originally had the early insulator, those are different, but not obtainable anymore. I made a topic on that once. The later model was changed, because vibrations the differential was moved a little forward i believe it was

I have small inner pullers for this stuff , works great. just add some heat first before pulling

Any one knows the stock et value?

What is the stock ET value for 240Z steel wheels? Does anyone know

I dont like those Mart. I will ask around. I can find some vintage 14 inch wheels on the internet used. But big chance these are warped to. My wheels are Fenton Gyros... I googled and found not so nice things about them 🤐 Dunlop T-E Lemans 24 wheels 14x6 et10 4x114.3 | eBay I really love these, but so hard to find. He lives in NL but only has 2. There are also replica z432 but I believe these are not approved for safety DOT

Guys... Does anyone know where to get vintage mag wheel replicas? I bought fenton mags from somebody years ago they where warped, i brought them to a wheel shop to get straightened. I recently put new tires but sadly they are still warped from the heart out, i saw it on the balancer. There was always a little vibration in the steering wheel and car and its now time to deal this.. i don't drive long distances but its time to get new wheels and deal with this. For my mustang i bought American racing wheels, and they have that vintage look... I want to keep the same for the Datsun. Any advice on wheels 14 inch? I would prefer 14 so i can keep the new tires and the vintage look

pretty sure the original was not a 2 piece design, cause I took the original one out of the car that time. I allready had a rubber kit in that time with those replica door seals that where to hard, couldn't shut the door, so I went looking for a replacement

I found these at an industrial supplier years back for 25-30 euros on a roll when I took a piece of my original door seals with me , looke the same like original. I sold one to a member on a forum here a few years ago. I still must have the drawing somewhere of it. Because the aftermarket ones where crap indeed the slamming.. This is not just a Datsun thing, many classic cars in those days used moos rubber. ( middle one in the picture )

Mart I believe we are coming to a point now, that restoring cars from the 60/70's becomes so expensive, its easier to buy a restored one almost. Currently we are doing the 67 chevelle ss , 2 worn outs seats 1000 usd, 1 door panel 600, prices are going crazy, to when these cars where just 35-40 years old... I also start to see a trend where 60\70s classics are not for the " common man " anymore....

I see some things that I am not a fan off, but overal great restoration. Prob ends up in some garage never to be seen on the road again. I personally like to drive my classics, even if it's a 1932 Packard... The wheel wells and underside is correct for collectors, but I wouldn't do it myself, if I drive that here even in summer, rust would be pretty quick... I use tectyl on all my classic car restorations.

Same here, maybe 50k was a low estimate. But if you can do a lot yourself this saves a LOT, Painting is getting more expensive by the year to. It's crazy the prices they ask the paint shops. Last year I did my 70 mustang with a paint shop I know, they charged me 4500 EURO. Other shops asked between 6500-9k

More like 50k EURO here to restore that. Part in the US are a bit cheaper still.

Could be Mart haha, anyhow, no bitumen wouldn't work here, it would be rusted away quicker then I can restore lol

Looks very nice ! Well done. So no Bitumen in the wheel wells and underside ?

The z hype from previous years is over for now, market is kinda stable for a while

Welcome to ZTherapy.com

Carbs are easy AF. lots of people don't understand them anymore these days... adn toss on EFI Have them properly rebuild and they will work fine everytime . Modern gas is not a problem, just don't use ethanol based fuel

" Needs a little paint " reminds me of those quotes from those housing brokers in fancy suits, selling a pile of bricks 200k overpriced lol

Yes time to install the diff arrestor belt mart ! Saves wear on the mount, i'm suprised your mount didn't tear off allready.... I changed my rubber bushing with a poly kit, maybe if you do that it will be less " shaky " at higher speeds lol

" I'm very happy to have the vented quarter. much less problems with maintenance and good ventilation without the back incoming exhaustgasses " Same... I also think that is the reason the factory changed the design 😉

no such things as a series lol. mine should then have series 1 parts but a 2 body lol, but whatever makes people feel good, i really don't mind, for god sake you call it series 0.5 lol

I think you can ship a batch by sea freight, but air it not possible with rattle cans, because explosion danger

I fainted at the second post of pictures... 😵 kidding, but damn that's a nice one for the metal press...
