He did what he loved to do, I think that's the most important thing in life .. I'm sure he's driving a 240Z in heaven now..

Haha ok I used a plastic 180 degree that could resist fuel ( don't know the english name, pvc ? ), because of weight. Raise the tank half way and connect all the vent lines first to the tank, then you can move on to the filler neck and raise the tank accordingly. Make sure no vent lines are jamming when you work it up.

It's Dutch. But in the text it says Goertz took the then 6 year old Ferrari 250 GTO as an example for the 240Z design ? ( Many here say Goertz hasn't much or anything to do with the 240Z design, but anyhow just posting what they are saying here ) screen shot pc imagehosting windows 7 screenshot image url upload photo hosting

To bad then..

It's a pain yup. Need to do it with 2 people imo easier install. 1 has to go under the tank ( lay on his back ) and raise it accordingly ( jackstand is not so handy, only to support if half way ) while the other one connects everything. Connect the vent hoses first, then the filler neck. The filler neck is the hardest part to go on, like suggested if it's to tight, heat it up a little or use a little bit of soap on the inside for install. ( remove the little plate on the right rear wheel housing to get better acces to the filler neck ). The fuel sender cables and the fuel lines to the front can go on when it's all installed.

Ow yeah I forgot ::

Wish it was the same price overhere...

Kats, $ 150.000 and then stil need to restore them.. that crazy money. Then the one in the auction must bring at least above $ 250.000 With that high prices for a 432 you wonder why the prices of the regular most kept original 240Z's haven't gone up much yet..

Sad thing it has a V8 transplant and many mods.. but can be made back to Original it's a low vin ? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Datsun-Z-Series-240z-1970-240-z-fully-restored-roller-rocker-small-block-chevy-b-m-ratchett-shifter-/301527575346?forcerrptr=true&hash=item463471ab32&item=301527575346&pt=US_Cars_Trucks

Was expecting it a bit.. but that's good news. At the moment rich people are buying classic cars as a way of investment.

For you that wan't an Original, I just found one http://www.ebay.com/itm/1970-TO-71-DATSUN-240Z-SERIES-ONE-OWNERS-MANUAL-DEALER-BOOK-RARE-/231471811800?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item35e4cb8cd8&vxp=mtr

Yeah . I will see what to do. I have had it for sale a while now, lot's of interest, but folks don't seem to bite. I have a shop for the metal/paint work who also did the 240Z, so if it will not sell I will get the car to him to do all the metal work. Me first option would still be sell it and get a better one, but then again better ones, seem to cost 20k also.. for 6 k I can get all the metal work and new paint done to the car.. The car cost me 5k now as it sits, so that would be around 11 k to get it 60% done. By the way the 240Z past regular inspection, another 2 years on the road

Spark can still be weak. But it sounds like a fuel problem. If the fuel pressure on the rail is okay, you could check the injectors.

bumped the topic up nothing to do with the pistons. Usually piston rings have a few letters on them, the letters always point to the top ( head )

Yes that looks like regular air hose. Not suitable for heat and oil.

Hey Mark, Cool story, that's a very nice and original 240Z you got there ! Have fun with it ! Gr Bart

I came across this today, think it's one of the best replica's out there. http://autovisie.nl/ferrari-250-gto-replica-gebouwd-kippenschuur/ http://www.telegraaf.nl/autovisie/autovisie_nieuws/ferrari/23645065/__Replica_Ferrari_250_GTO_gebouwd_tussen_de_kippen__.html http://rodtempero.com/ ( website )

Car No: HLS30 32581 Engine No: L24 041516 Original color was 901 Silver ( now it's Subaru blue ). Interior color: black Current last owner location: Gendt, The Netherlands. ( picture and history, including first owner can be found in my topic Blue ). Here: http://www.classiczcars.com/topic/45423-my-datsun-240z/page-16

Yes 50 k is for injection molding, didn't know the right word in English. Is there any information on how Nissan made these dashes ?

Hi Chas, I'm selling the Mach 1 again, and will buy a better Mach 1 later on. This one is to much work after I did some research on the cost first, last weekend. Also found way more rust under those fenders.. I thought Datsun's would rust but damn.. I also had contact with several Mustang restoration shops, also in in Belgium, and they advised not to restore it, it would simply cost to much for what the car is worth. I would need to invest 20k, while it's worth that to. Here's his story: Beste Bart, Daar moet ik je toch in teleurstellen. We kunnen al deze delen leveren maar als ik de foto’s zo zie en de motor dan is het absoluut niet waard om dat te doen. ik heb een spikssplinter nieuwe mach 1 van 1972 met 54000 originele mijlen in super originele staat voor 38000 euro. Daar en boven is het ok nog een 351 motor en automaat. Nieuw van binnen , buiten , in koffer en onder de motor kap. Uw mustang is een basis vijfliter mach 1 en de absolute top van die wagen is maar 25000-30000 euro; Je krijgt binnen die budgetten uw auto niet klaar. als je een mooie wilt natuurlijk. Sorry maar hier heb je een beetje een miskoop gedaan. Maar als je zegt van het i sok en ik wil de wagen toch maken, dan moet je de wagen minstens tien jaar houden en de meer kost over die maanden en dat is dan hobby geld. Groetjes en succes en leveren van de delen is geen probleem Adelbert Sadly I'm missing like 50% of the " interior and inside/outside detail " parts of the car.. Gr Bart

Gave it new engine oil, and changed the fram filter for a genuine nissan blue one ( much better ). Although not many miles, it was 2 years ago since the last oil change.

1.42 a litre here in the village at the moment, still a ripp of

Doesn't matter if they are ugly ( although a nice weld looks better ), the most important thing is that it's welded through for a good attachment.

Okay.. i'll start: " If your Z doesn't whine it's not a Z "

Nice work ! I had the whine to but in the diff, ended up replacing it, because nobody cared to every check the oil level ( bearings and gear was damaged ). It's quiet ever since. I guess it's not supposed to whine, like some people say if your Z doesn't whine it's not a Z, well that's not true
