MoTip Bumper Verf DONKER ANTRACIET spuitbus 400ml - Snelle Levering - CROP (nonpaints.com) Looks more like antraciet then dark grey? that color in the link is close to though

Have the 240z on the bridge for refurbing the underside. Saw the diff arrestor belt snapped 🤡. Just replaced that 2 years ago. Oh well... Immitation parts.. Does anyone have the original color code of the grey on the rear taillight panel? Original finish was matte? Its going to the paint shop next year for a few spots and the rear deck lid, so might as well do this

There where technical drawings of that vapor tank, and where all the lines go, don't know the topic though

These pictures are really good for my OCD ( kidding )

wd40 bath first

mine is 5-71 and had the rubber mats... i think it's the same with all the changes that where applied through the months/years, some old stock was used on some later cars to, untill the left overs where gone, some earlier ones might have the rubber mats switched to carpet, and some not ?

yep, they looked like that. It's funny you say carpeting was added with jute at the port of entry. Mine had the rubber mats laying on top of that

Hey Kats, My Z car came with dryed out rubber mats with datsun on it. Did they first years 240z came with rubber mats, that later changed to jute ?

pretty cool, choke knob and auto throttle and cig lighter knob are from a later year though

Why? It doesn't have to costs much if you can do the sheet metal work yourself, i've just finished metal work on a 67 chevelle that came from Michigan, that was half gone, trunk, inner wheels well, rockers, etc. Chassis also half gone. Only spended 6k in materials, the rest is time.

it does has the nissan 2400 valve cover, very early 240z, if you could do the metal work yourself, and strip it down and put it on a rottiserie, it wouldn't have to cost tons, but then again, if you have to spend that out, it's better not to, just part it out.

I use Kroon Classic oil here in the netherlands, they recommend 15w40 , 20w50 seems way to thick to me for a stock L24 to L28... Classic Multigrade 15W-40 productinformatie. - Kroon-Oil Lucas oil seems to have a 10w40 to I see

I got 2 weeks " holiday " now.. but offcourse the weather sucks really bad..., it's going to clear up end of the month lol. Well bad luck haha. 🤣 Did not drive the 240Z much this year, maybe done 400km total. Typical Dutch summers 😪

Bad weather last 3 weeks, battery was flat. Time to start today and drive some.. Saw the return hose dripping, replaced all the rubber fuel lines and oem filter. I did have some fuel smell in the cabin with the windows down, thats gone now, so it was that. 😴

Besides it's a nice towel rack now in the summer, to dry my beach towels

I like it . Like that little weight matters now Mart.. the car only has 150hp, today's 1.2 have that...

Whats the point in polishing it ? It has massive rust...

Thanks Chas, i'm doing my best to keep it in good condition. In the fall it will go to the paint shop, to have some spots re-done, and the rear hatch deck ( common issue ). How are you doing lately? Gr Bart

JDM classic car event yesterday

It can be saved, but you will have to cut up half the car, a good body guy with patience can do it. The rear wheel arches have been modified wrongly before, look closely, the lines are all wrong. You will find horror on that body ones you strip it down, if you ever want to. It's a low vin worth saving, it's not like you start finding these everyday

That's better then it ever came off the factory 😀

I would be interested to for an early 71 sign me up ( my car has lots of 70 features, so who says the 71 could have 3 different plugs wires in 1 year... mine could have had the late 70 left over from factory stock, they put on early 71's, that was the practice back in the day...

Yes. I think at that point you think whatever...

He finally seems to have started on the 5 speed 😄. Let's be patient.. I pulled the 240Z out of winter storage VERY late this, year, just weeks ago. Winter stayed very long... It's still 18c during the day, for the time of the year it's cold.. I replaced a fuel line and filter in the engine bay, and in the summer I will do the valve adjustments again. Some basic stuff. Clean up the engine bay. Last week I had a kind of sad request... some guy my parents know, was dying of cancer, and one of his last wish was to see and drive in a 240Z, so who am I to refuse that ? Was glad I could make his day.. 🙂 Some pictures of that...

Naah, i used their parts to for my rebuild no problems. It's more the machine shop... I got a good one, he measured the bores first, and every piston seperate, also with my v8 , he found in both seths pistons that where off, and I had to send them back... the set for the ford v8 where very expensive pistons, and 1 one still out of round... out of the box. A good shop is everything...
