Map Location:Norway Sorry just asking myself.. Your in Norway and have 2 240z's in Nevada? (If the floors are good i think it's a no brainer.. i want them… but shipping would be to expensive..)

And that would be NOT over 5K ??? ??

I have made a new wheel in my 240z. took an old one. Took the old fake wood of and made new mahogany around it.. took me 38 hours work incl. 8! layers of paint.. I'm shure when you sanded the old wheel and put blank paint on it (6-10 layers of boat lacquer) it will be brighter, like in the brochures. Lot's af polishing also needed..

Mr Roomba? that sucks… ? sorry ...

so beautiful car.. such crap!

on 8:30 min. you see his goodby to the car..

Let them know! Mc.Laren sucks!!! (although i would like such a nice car in my frontgarden, just as an garden object!)

http://www.cardomain.com/ride/645045/1973-datsun-240z/ Try this one.. giant story about lowering the roof.. (only problem, i got a message that this site was not accesable due to european regulations protection of data )

After my first reply.. i red your : "no damage" hihi.. so funny… (the first thing i saw where the dents haha... makes them also out of balance..) But still a bargain!!

I thought Original they are a sort of light yellow? or was mine just discolored?? ? Also.. before i would have powdercoated it i would have corrected those dents in the left and upper right blade… and they go for over 100 euro over here!! :-0

Test if there's voltage of about 12v on the motor. You probebly need some new brushes in your motor... a possibility..... after 47 years? ?

Maybe, some adjusting is in the height of the door by loosening the stainless edge.. Nice write up Grannyknot! When alining you can also use a piece of paper to check air tightness (on trunk important related to exhaustgases coming in to the car!)

Maybe you had it (the car) on a 2 post lift without the doors in it? (People don't laugh) (read other questions..haha to know what the *** i'm talking about) There can be some tension in the doors, it's a lot of trail and error to fit the doors back in, Don't over tighten the bolts, at first tighten them just enough.. they could set themselves in a sertain direction.. It cán take easely an hour (or a few...) to do a door correct.

Nice lift, but i will Always use a 4 post lift for my z cars.. esspecially 280zx and 300zx.. they are so heavy that they bend a little on a 2 post lift.. you can't open a door on a z32 when it's on a 2 post lift.. yeah.. opening is possible but try to shut it... And.. should i say it... oh well... ofcourse you did what loads of mechanics do.. you put the 240z on that lift in the wrong way.. it should be lifted on the 4 jack-stand points.. not under the floor.. (for as far i can see, your's is not lifted on the jack-stand places.. (see manual..) sorry.. (with the last MOT of my z32 the mechanic almost did this to my z32, (Lift the body front by lifting it on the thin sheetmetal floor!..) That's why i'm Always with my car at a check.. I freakt out and told the chop owner that i did not want that mechanic (idiot) near my cars! )

I restored a 240z wheel with new mahogany, when you take away the (in this case) foam.. there will be a 1/4 inch (6,35mm) thick steel ring in it.. (i made out of 12 pcs wood a brand new steeringwheel that i'm using now for over 10 years. it has 8 coats of laquer (how the hell do i whrite that.. hahaha)) Still looks like new and one of my proud accomplices (huh?? ) yeah that! haha.. (NO don't want to start up a translating prog. ? )

Haha.. yeah! like they do with engines in boats/ships!

Haha, good one.. but a radiator and some coolingfluid would be nice, then he could give it a longer run and high rev's!

Let my say first... can't help myself… but emmmm.. SO YOU DO HAVE FLOW! I'm just not not kidding.. again… sorry. To your question, i don't have any experience with webers.. and i'm gonna keep it that way.. ?

I also noticed a difference in color.. (They have been cept in a box in the dark and conditioned.) one day i'll install these as they are on my 240z (i hope) and we'll see what happens !!

Nice Carl, Thanks.. So the 240z has 2 different spring rates in the front.. i learned something! ?

As said earlyer, these Koni's are new old stock. I've heard that these were the shocks that where used in the south african rally cars? About my spring pic.. I'm 98% shure it's the Original Datsun 280zx 2+2 1979 (rear) spring.. I think technicians can tell what type of spring it is using the 2 colored spots on them, if someone could explain more i like to here it!

Well.. Thank you very much Mr. Lee Grimes! Here some pic's from the shocks i've got laying around in my (big?) pile of parts for z/zx.. Front shock 82-R1811 Rear shock 82R-1812 front shock rear shock

Here some pic's from the Original instruction manual that went with them.. (for use under the 240z) Also a pic from the spring of my 280zx.. it has 2 spots on it, orange and purple.. i guess it's a way to mark how strong they are?

Yes, the 82R-1811 have 705 and the 82R-1812 have 007 stamped into it under the partnumber! It says also "special D" on it and have all 4 of them lots of patent numbers for different country's on them. (As i sayd these are new and thuss never used. I bought them few years ago, but the guy were i bought them from sayd they were from late 70 or begin of 80's?) I'm curious what the real dates are! so thanks in advance! (I also got some single grade oil with the whole deal.. it's probably to put some of it into the tubes of the orig. shock-housings to transmit the heat better ?) Mart.

KONI was a Dutch firm from the start if i remember correctly? I've just reman. a set 280zx last week..and now i hear from these new KONI's.. For my 240z i've got a Original orange/red set of 4 shocks in stock for over 25 years at least.. new in the box.. haha what's left of the box.. ?
