yeah.. nice car, but the tire guy was (again) deep asleep when he did the rear wheels… ?

Hahaha.. yeah.. money money money… but look at what a new switch today will cost you.. WOWWW! i think you want to invest in low current lights..

Hi, I think adding a big resistor to make the flasher work is not the way to go.. now you can finally unload the switch and you go ad more current to it! Look for another flasher (from a more modern car) that works with those small current lights.. your switches will last a lot longer. ?

He's (C O) restoring a flattop carb ??? (in that pic.) HEY! Nice 260z end muffler.. i've got the 240z middle peace in new condition in storage.. i think it's the : 20050-E4100 also in black! (Nichira made in Japan)

Thanks man, Although i have a lot of parts it's Always possible i need something.. As you may know i'm restoring a 280zx first year in the Netherlands and when that one is ready (next year..) i'm thinking of restoring my 240z for the 2nd time haha after 20 years driving it! Have'nt made a list yet!

I have seen them go overhere in europe for 200 euro... But for as long there are "plenty" parts in de States, the prices are (for us..) low.. Look some time on : www.speurders.nl ...and see what a junkyard 240z go's for overhere, you'll be very surprised i can tell yah! ? (most if not ALL are imported from USA.)

Your welcom.. here some more details of a very nice restored car. 260z from 1979. This car was restored by a NISSAN dealer and he has stopt with working but still has this car and a fairlady cabriolet.

In de States… imported!… yeah… but the 260z was MADE till 1978! In europe we did NOT have the 280z it was the 260z .. 1979 came out the 280zx.. and the production of 260z came at an end. Here some pic's from a beautiful 1979 euro 260Z (It was a probably a 1978 car made and was put on the road in 1979.)

Nope... N42 in my euro 280zx from early 1979.. ('79 was it's first year in the Netherlands! ) was already a self oiling cam..

That depends.. In europe for example we have no exhaust port liners… therefore these heads can be better. personaly i think there is not much if any diff. in the N42 and N47. I've got a N42 on my 280zx and it has a compr. of 10.1 to 1 standard. it runs very well.

Could it be because you have isolated the coil from ground with that paper/cardboard in between the coil and it's holder? if the black wire is a bad ground.... And.. What brand do those wires smoke? ... sorry i could also not help myself.... ?

The painter is still busy.. meanwile i have a question, is there somebody that has a good set of dash meters, i'm refering to the 3 -meterset in the middle of the dash.. with the analog clock. shoot me a pm if you have one for sale with a pic and price, and condition it's in.. Thanks! (It's for a 1979 280zx )

And it's probably their last one! UGLY !!!

The few bushings i need are in my cellar! my suspension bushings are (see Pic's above.. ) in good condition, also are the new suspension arm bushings..

Here some pic's from the "old" suspension-arm, it clearly did not have any anti-rust treatment.

I wouldn't bet... Thanks for the reply, but don't bother, if the old brakedisk does not fit , it's simple, i have to get me a new set!

I've got a question.. here in europe a 280zx has 2 different types of brakepads and cylinders in the rear, one till 1980-81.. and one after... round that time.. i had a bad rear wheel suspension arm so had to get me a good one, the brakecylinder mount is different so i had to have those aswell!! my question is there difference in brakerotor over the years on the rear of a 280zx? much apriciated! I've got a as new set arms and brakeparts now from the latest type 280zx eurostyle.. (1982-83)

Hahaha... yeah... but i drove one and... i could only turn right.. not left.. my knee was in the way! ... i'm 6 foot 4 (around 1.93 mtr..) i don't fit in that basket!!

@Captain Obvious I have the same one in my 240z.. were can i get or see the better one? With my last service (valve clearance check) these tubes were OK. Should i replace it? (When i'm ready with my 280zx this 240z get a restauration or is sold i'm still not shure what it will be..)

The oil ring has a play of 0.3 till 0.9 mm maybe he mixed up top with oilring ring gap...

yeap... and 0.219 can never be the average of 0.249- 0.332 0.29 is more in the range.. also the point on the wrong spot hey...

Yes, can be in de States..don't forget that the 260z was for sale in europe till 1978! There was no 280z overhere! I know of a 1979! 260z.. it was a car that was in a dealer's showroom for a long time and sold in 1979.. so in our books (Year of putting it on the road with a licenceplate..) it's a 1979 car. Here in europe the 280zx was the car that came after the 260z.. I Always thought the 280zx and 300zx z31 were the black sheeps... But they are also starting to get more expensive.

HUH ?? In europe you buy a set of wheels for that.. and they are ugly ones!!! PIC's !!!! wanna see that parts car!! (kidding!!) good luck! and welcome here..

OHH.. yes you can... if your garage gets to small... and you store carparts in your home.. I TELL EVERYBODY IT'S ART IN MY LIVING..
