Restoration of BringaTrailer 240z - HLS30-35883
I think the throttle issue is related to the bellcrank on the firewall under the hood. On my 74 I noticed the the angle from the bellcrank to the auxiliary throttle shaft was somewhat extreme, so I cut the upper arm off a spare bellcrank and welded it on higher up on the tube. This reduced the angle to the throttle shaft and made it a little easier to control the application. I got this idea looking at an early 240 bellcrank.

Is it possible to lubricate a steering rack?
Thanks, Captain. The steering seems to work smoothly, just wanted to see if there was anything I could do since the car sat for so long.

Is it possible to lubricate a steering rack?
According to the drawing Zed provided, it applies only up to July 73 models. I'm referring to the caption at the bottom.

Right, it does seem there is something there, but I was unable to get a picture of that side. But my passenger side is definitely different from JFA's.

The picture JFA posted is on the passenger's side.

Is it possible to lubricate a steering rack?
I took a look at my rack and there does not appear to be any plug or place for a grease fitting. Must be a 260Z difference. Not sure if I want to try to take the boots off, but that looks like the only way in.

Is it possible to lubricate a steering rack?
Thanks guys, the location of the plastic plug is exactly the kind of info I'm looking for. I could not see any external access to the rack without going through the boots. I'll see if I can locate the plug today and put some oil or grease in there.

Without disassembling it or removing from the car? Hoping there might be a way to put a little oil or grease in there. My car sat for many years without being driven, and the lubricant may be a bit dried up. Thanks

Advice lining up MSA exhaust on a 240?
Looks like you got it! I've been happy with mine since I got it to fit right. It is much louder than stock exhaust.

Advice lining up MSA exhaust on a 240?
I installed one of those systems last year, and it fit poorly. Had to heat and bend the mid pipe to get it to clear the floor, and the rear pipe was too long. I cut a one inch section out of it in the straight part, and put it back together with a 2.5 inch band clamp.

I found that out the hard way, also. I didn't want to take the door panel off after all that trouble.

They are glued on before the door panel is installed, cover the open space between the window frame and door.
