Not really something to ad, just check for all clean contacts in wiring and also check if the new part(s) are working.. new does not mean working good! (something i got people very angry with but again.. something you have changed in a new part, does NOT mean it's working now.. check check doublecheck ? ...

I bet the answer is NO... ive seen some s30 (240z 260z and 280z chassis) and i believe the 240z on it's own has different dash mounting points...

Or you could use bigger or smaller diameter tires.. ? to calibrate your speedo ?

HAhaha.. reminds me of a neighbour.. (he could not hit a nail with a hammer ) He askt me to look at his fresh installed battery (By HIM!) in his caravan.... He had the isolating caps still ON the poles and had to open the clamps a whole lot to get them on... he askt me why it did'nt work... wow man... then it's terribly difficult to keep the face straight!

First some old engine oil in the bowl ,(sits round the edge in pic) then some coolant on it, and finally some atf drops on it.. leave it a day or two and make the pic.

Very nice 280zx.. almost as beautiful as mine.... just kidding.. it's all nice. just wanted to say this ad needs some bigger pics please like this for example.. Could you also put in a (detail) pic from the wheels? Thanks! ALSO 16000 DOLLARS FOR A 280ZX WITH THAT KIND OF LOW MILES ON THE CLOCK IS MAKING ME SICK.. I HAD TWICE AS MUCH TO INVEST IN MINE WITH 119000 KM IS: 73958 MILES This car is sold in a jiffy... No this one is not for sale... just an example pic.. (everything is buyable they say.. at 35000 euro's i start thinking of (maybe) selling it.. just that one knows where the "border"lays.. ? ) My beautiful euro version 2+2 (With my length i can't sit in those 2 seater seats.. my head is against the roof... seriously!!!!)

Nice seats!! I got myself .. years ago.. some new seats from a German company called "König" I had seen these in datsun 240z cars ,(also in yellow/black) in ORIGINAL rally/race 240z cars!! König makes seats for anything, if it has wheels it can fit a König seat... almost hahaha.. ? Since i almost finished my 280zx this could be my next job.. update/refresh my 240z with these beautiful seats! (it needs a 3th restore after 50 years haha, last one done by me was 20-22 years ago)

Yeah.. HALDA speedpilot tripmaster. i once had one and traded it... for a windscreen... long ago... stupid mistake huh?

Last year i checkt my 300zxtt (as new with 86000km) aircon.. and it got very cold 4,9 C. (don't know Mr Fahrenheit.. ? ) It runs after 28 years still on the first filling R12! (thats because i use it every 4-6 weeks... i run it every 4-6 weeks. on the road or in storage (in my own heated and isolated garage) This is very important, the oil keeps the systems connections airtight. (there are still people who want to save the system by not using it and that gives a LOT of failures! ) For the time it works i don't need a replacement.. Overhere i hear nothing (for years now) about the ozone layer.. is it good now or gone with the wind?? Also you don't hear anything anymore about the "acid rain" that would destroy our forests.. i guess "they" have other things on theire minds thats more important (read: brings more money!.. )

I really don't know if it's still available, for as far i know it was here in europe available in 2012

The inner and outer is reinforced with a standing part in the middle.. but you would/should have known this if you had the service manual (I don't start a car repair without one!) you can google for parts they are available for as far i know. Also look with a camera (on your phone a sheap extra) IN the beam.. most are rusted out inside and posible you have to replace the whole beam..

R12 AIRCO NO NEED TO REPLACE ANYTHING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just wanted to ad... if R12 airco is no longer serviced and rebuild for R134a is to expensive.. you can now use (since 2012!) R437a(isceon mo49 plus) (this was R413a isceon mo49) There is NO need to replace ANY PART ! oil stays the same.. can filled up just before loading the gas. (If neccessary)

Yeah.. the rubber replacing first would be the wrong way.. take those windows out and paint the car first and then the rubbers and finaly the inner parts.. If you want to do a prof. paintjob (like my 280zx..) count for a bill of 10 grand or $10000.. at least.. If you can do a lot yourself maybe half of that?

You sold one yourself in march 2019... (see your content.), now you want one back.. btw.. Did you know that in europe we had Clarion radio's not those Hitachi's? They had also only AM and 5 presets, but no seek function.

That's why i bought the last 3 pumps here in the netherlands in the original box.. many years ago.. i hate those junk fake parts (what you get on ebay..) most are cheap but also worth nothing.

This morning i got a mail from Trevor.. He's a guy who restores cars and has a lot of vid's on youtube that explain a lot over restorations and stuff, very interesting. (look for : trev's blog.) He told me that he could see .. only from the pictures i sended, that it was a professional restauration! AU... AU.... AU!!!.. ALL THOSE FEATHERS UP MY BUTT Oeps...!! sorry... Go see on youtube what he's doing.. trev's blog, about taking out dents and welding.. making panels and stuff, he's a good teacher!

Yeah yeah.. Last week i got out of the car and hurt my back really bad.. went to the doctor and he told me i have a hernia... It's véry painfull.. i barely can walk.. I wanted to make a set of pic's of the finished car.. (inside and out) but i'm at the moment more or less tied to my chair and bed.. (A lot of #%&^$#*^%$...GRrrrrr..) Here i got this one on my pc so can post this one, made in Boxmeer (The Netherlands of course, When i was at the carpartsshop) The car is stil not waxed... I did install the last inside trimmings before the hernia.. Doctor says i can take 12 weeks to recover..

Pic's would help.. You have the auto trans flex plate? (because thats a different one.) One seldom hears of this, most of the time it's the other way around.. going to a 5 speed and throwing the auto in the trash.. As the auto from a 240/260/280 Z is a slugish p.o.s. (sorry) i would research if a modern 350/370z auto could work behind a 240/260/280z engine? I believe it has been done already?

I always make a "wiper" out of tape on the shaft and activate the wiper to look if it is in wiping the right way.. never crashed a wiper. Another solution is to put the wiper on in the upright position for the first test.. if possible.. but i recomment to do it with a piece of tape.

The trouble is.. we have here in the netherlands english s30 serv.man with a american 240z in it. (surround lights, rozets on bumpers.. a euro does not have..) but here are some specs, wire diam. 11,4 mm, coildiam. 100mm windings 10,65 free height 381mm installed height 225mm normal load 288kg. spring constant 1,85 kg/mm. Years ago i changed my rear springs because the orig. us. springs were to soft. (50 kg of sandbags and the exhaust came on the ground!) then i installed my spare (euro) springs and they are much stiffer! So now i think the 1,85 kg/mm. constant of the spring is for the US-spring, the euro spring is a lot stiffer? I do remember that on the fiche i could select 1 out of 5 different struts! You could look for different springs on a fiche 240z..

Hi, thank you for telling me! But it's only the one, there are 2 different strips needed for 1 shield. and mine is already in.. There is a z(x) partsdealer in the states that still has that strip.. (z store or zcardepot or something..) Now is to find out if this is the other one.. ? But i no longer need a set..

GOOD question, i had aftermarket (240z/260z)wheels and original wheels (from a 280zx) and they had completly different thickness in the lug nuts! Testfit them in the wheel when you have it off the car.. they should fit properly.

I will take a pic of my old wheel color..(one of these days...pff.. busy but no energy at all..) it's a blue/grey... Thanks for the pic's. I got a set of 4 wheels and hubcaps from the UAE (emirates) imported long ago and they have also blue very metallic looking hubcaps.. There are also differences in the edge of the circle where the z is in.. btw, have you noticed the lower left z is upside down in your pic? not many people notice that..

Applause applause! Much cleaner look, the one i also prefer! You do know that the rear side light was original not orange but red? it was a side light not a flasher.. You can delete that one, (I know i did.) .

Which of the 2 blue car pic's is the resent one? the above? It has no longer the side lighting and flasher on the side? Also like your yellow one more without the scaffolding on the rear bumper! ?
