Last year my car (1971 240z) drove 210km/hr thats 130 mph! in Germany on the "autobahn" . It's completely stock, but to small tires on so the real speed will be round 120 mph. (An audi driver wondered how long i could keep up! Bart (bart scooterservice (also on this forum) was in the passenger seat) We got over here in europe the standard 5 speed gearbox ! makes a difference! (FS5C71B) and different Diff..

Please... disconnect your battery (neg. first!!) when you get busy with repairs.. What would happen when you reconnect your timing, install the sparkplugs and turn the engine with a spanner.. maybe put some headbolts loosly in there for safety? just a thought.... put some oil in cil . 1 and 6. and your head will come off... hihihi.... (I've never done that, maybe someone can say if this a good way? can those pistons and stuff hold that kind of abuse?) It looks like there is no headgasket.. very flat one..

Jsm.. If i click it, it says: no longer available/removed..

Me neither. much to much for my daily (winter) driver.. i have saved them for future use or good sale when i'm a pensioner

Sad ending for Cameron in his rac up Mt Washington... https://www.autogids.be/autonieuws/video/triest-lot-voor-een-datsun-240z.html

I've got 4 (different?) front bumpers in straight condition but need re chrome. ( possible one or 2 have very little dent..) (Also the 4 rear's are present.. ) i know that 1 set is from '74 euro version 260z.. offers will be considered. (chrome is not rusty just faded, good for daily drivers.) As you are in de U.S. i don't think you want one ...

For comparison purposes only here some Nos original NISSAN/Datsun rear lights.. for these i've seen prices ... 2850 dollar... These are brand new bought by me in the '90's..

I've got a new set..but under a 1000 euro not selling.. new old stock.. over here (Netherlands) these are rarer then hens teeth.. And the same for the other parts on the pictures.

i was talking about the front windscreen.. the side glass (door) probably will fit .. not 100% sure.. take em anyway and when they don't fit there is always someone here who will trade for the older ones if youre a bit lucky.

Yes..... but watch the corners, they delaminate easy.. air between the layers look not good.. success !!

Hi, First, your gauge lights are normally going with your headlights.. The fan is a later modification? if so.. it feeds from the radio fuse/wiring?? not good put that on a new fuse direct to the fan. 10A should be enough. The radio wire you have to find out yourself.. should not be to difficult.. starting from the radio's red wire.. at it's back...

I'm restoring a 280zx, maybe máybe... you can see something on the pictures that i took from this 280zx 1979 engine.. before restore.. last 2 pics are from a new engine 280zx with egr

broken or soft springs in your main plate of the gearbox? In the main plate are bolts, if you get them out there are springs with steelballs behind them, when those springs are to soft the box gets out of gear.. i ones used a sidecutting pliers to widen the spring and that worked! Just make it a bit longer. Catch the parts when unscrewing those bolts! Main plate... i mean the thick steel part in the middle of the gearbox.. sorry for bad english..

Hahaha... It where the '80's....90's... Btw. my 240z has a v-reg outside the gen. standard...still working pretty good! Hella made some V.reg. for Datsuns.. google!.

Back in the day when i repaired lots of electronics.. If "solid state" stood on the radio or whatever... i put it in the round archive as quickly as possible HAHA... (round archive is what you would call the trash can.. )

check connections and ground in your distributor..

Left lobe...

Do i see a total worn lobe.. left on last picture.. on that camshaft..??

The dark spots on those pistons are original lube and a bit of storage dirt after more than 25 years!! Also have a brand new slalom camshaft.. in orig.box, (What's left of it..) it has .475"lift and 275* Duration. On the end it say's : "Datsun" The lobes had a sort of beige cover on them but after i lubed the shaft for storage it became shiny steel... odd.. Number on the box say's: 99996-E1031. Offers are welcome but.. If Mike (from Wheeler dealers) pay's $600 for a referb.. you may guess the price of this original Datsun Racer part...

Thanks Bart, we will see.. Painter says june... I say September HAHAHA... Ready next year... i don't mind. In the serv.man. of the 280zx there is no rubber round the hinge like the 240z has! I would like a rubber that leaves moisture outside the roofline. Rep, thanks for the picture! Site, those are for a 240z not a 280zx.. don't think they will fit.. but anyway, thanks for your contribution.

Hello All, Mart here,I bought a Datsun 280zx slick roof 2+2.. in or around september 2013.. It's a funny story, Always looking for a Datsun z or zx one day Bart (Yes, from bartscooterservice also here on the forum) told me there was a 280zx for sale in a town near his. These days i'm not working anymore because of a accident at work and a later flattening a motorbike against a tree.... But after Bart told me there was a 280zx i wondered if it was still that one i remembered from the '90's when i was at that Nissan sub-dealer for his burglar alarm inspections, i was a service engineer at that time.. It was a blue car put away in 1993-94, in a storage in the back of the garage! In 2013 the owner stil recognized me and confirmed me that it was stil the same car! It has 119000 Km on the clock and was not driven since 1994, The engine was started every year and that saved it.. After i saw in how good condition it was, (compared to a lot of terribly rusty rustbuckets) i bought the car! I went to pick up the car in January 2014 and did all the mechanical work in 2014 and 2015. Now the car is stil at my Painter who did/does al the welding also for me. At first he told me the car wil be ready in may but now he says June... Don't matter to me, only thing i care for that it is done the right way! Now i'm prepairing al the parts to put back on the car.. (Made hundreds of pictures..) I got a question: A Datsun 240z has a rubber part around his tailgate hinge, i found no rubber near those of the 280zx? Is there no rubber cover seal ? When the hinge is taken out there is a big hole in the roof edge, when cleaning i can imagine that there can get a lot of water into the roof causing a lot of trouble? If there is no rubber for the hinge, i think a peace of inner tubing of a bike can close it, putting it in between.. Like to here your solution! Pic.1 before restoring Pic. Pic.2 ready for paint. NOTICE: the stil perfect "welds" under the rear lights.. in europe these are always rusted away, here...stil perfect.. also the bottom of the car NO welding needed! Awesome!! Pic.3 front ready for paint. PICTURE 4: the holes in roof for the hinges tailgate..

Yeah... the 2 DUTCH Boy's..

Fred, Is it possible that that was MANY years ago? I bought my last 240z parts in the late 90's... original Nissan.
