zinkspray ?

I bought something interesting from Ebay: Original 1971 ad signed by Mr.K in 2011 in Tokyo.

Look to my pictures above. You have to remove the paint with a wire brush, so you can see the spotwelds, and then drill them out. Then you can remove the cover that's over the intake vent and have more room to work. It's hard to reach on the area between the air intake tube and the firewall, but that's the most important spot. I used alot of patience, small screw drivers to scrape of dirt and a work light. You also need to remove the wiper motor.

Datsun Z Series 240Z | eBay

Who bought it ?

We had some heavy rain here last week, but haven't seen wet floors, they are dry. So I assume it's working..

Good point there... the Japanese indeed had 2 litre versions from the L series. And then there is the 432 engine aswell...

Kicking this up, still searching for one..

I only have the original hip belts. But if you crash in a 240z at high speed I don't think much will remain..

I think this picture sums up the main reason why the cowl to firewall seal eventually starts leaking and soaking the floors.. making the floors rust. There only a tiny area of the cowl under those supports that allows rain water to drain to the sides.

I forgot, I got a message from IGL Shipping that they diff was under way that was on 17 November... So hopefully it will arrive this month.

@ filletsunruly: thanks man A few more things I needed arrived. Datsun 240z Heater Hoses & Firewall Grommets - NOS Datsun 240z,260z,280z,280zx Engine Oil Filter - NOS ( short version ) Datsun 240z,260z 3 - Way Water Pipe / Connector - NOS Datsun 240z Lower Radiator Hose - NOS Datsun 240z Air Fliter 1970- 6/72 - NOS Datsun 240z Braided Pcv Hose 1/71- 6/72 - NOS Datsun 240z,260z,280z,280zx Accelerator Pedal Pad - NOS Datsun 240z,260z,280z,280zx Radiator Drain Tap - NOS Datsun 240z,260z,280z Foot Rest Pad NOS And 2 second hand interior strut caps. I cleaned them and gave it some black paint, semi gloss.

I've printed that one, and put in the garage on the wall IMO the text is even relevant today, mine does get attention everytime, everywhere... it's not like a 240Z is a common sight here.. mostly the European and American classics..

The color could have faded a little over time...

I got some parts yesterday from Reddat also known as George Robbins. But have to say all the parts are genuine nissan parts. So I have no complains.

Came across this Japanese video ?

35 grand for a nut ? wow that's alot , never thought about that

Company doesn't seem to exist anymore ? He's talking about 6 carburetors ?

Just came across a 5 speed ? Datsun 5 Speed Wood Shift Knob 1200 240Z 510 240K B10 B110 120Y Bluebrid Nissan | eBay

Thanks. But the only information I found in that topic was that the original wooden shift knobs where slimmer, and the ones on Ebay ( like the link above ) are reproductions ?

^ .. I don't have the Original one either. Can you still order the Original knob from Nissan ?

I just don't drive it when there's snow or rain. Who knows might be a mild winter here.. They do go nuts with the salt here, so don't want to drive the old girl through that.. I just start and drive it for short runs on a regular basis in the winter.

That 240Z looks pretty solid..

Id go with Carl. But does it really matter... after some work, it will come out nice
