Yup! Jim, As you know i'm busy with a 280zx.. so i can use some more money for the painter.. (I just added here on my 280zx story a LOT of pictures with some comments CHECK IT OUT!) I could clean them up for you and send some pics if you want.. (i know you want... ? )

It's November 2019. The zx was for years in a heated garage. Bought me a new battery and a new windshield.. This month my car go's to the pro - paintershop… i hope haha (oh are all those painters people were no good arranggements can be made ??? If i say tomorrow at 10 i'm there at 10! (sons of ….grrrr) The fuel was prepped with some stuff the keep it from clogging.. i putted in the battery after a check for lose cables (the dash is not in..) Then i started the car, the fuelpump started but no starting engine.. then the alarm made itself known.. AH.. that's it.. somewhere here has to be a switch.. i switched the alarm of and.. turned the key.. Yup!! it started right away! 20191107_145039.mp4 Some pic's from the work this year... rear spring. Cleaned but not perfect.. If someone knows a way to paint this fabric.. it's called "tricot" would be nice to paint it a bit darker... rear bumper, lots of dents taken out.. a week of work every afternoon…. cleanup for paint.. hinges.. TAKE A GOOD LOOK.. at these.. Original hinges and no whear on them !!! had good maintanance!! Creative people don't have junk laying around, they just surrounded by a lot of new ideas! My painter tried to weld… he shure can't.. (Danny's kaaiwerk = Danny's sloppy work.. i all deleted it.) New tools.. Front skirt. Hinges rear boot lid. Get the horror out. Rust off before new paint. Original parts… like new.. An electronics engineer doing metal work. Not bad... Checking over and over the edge in the plating. Making it smooooddeehhh…. The as new rear wishbones some colored ground paint in rear wheelwell Lots of new parts.. Rear wheelhousing , part of fuellines.

After a good look, i think they are the right / same parts. just photographed from an different angle!

Now i looked at them, these are different, but are peaces for a 240z bumper? can someone explain what these are? part numbers are on the 3th pic. N3300 in the partnr. says it is a 260z or a superseeding nr. for a 240z part? After a cleanup they will look like new.

If i'm not mistaking i've got a set of those. AND in next to new condition.. (saw them years ago on ebay for 200 per piece.. in rather old condition!) i post some pics.. in a minute.. they look alike… not sure..

I like the long G-nose.. but the front is already very long.. Haha.. yeah.. few summers ago i was on the german highway with Bart from Bartscooterservice @bartsscooterservice driving my red 240z and a audi came aside, the man behind the wheel looked like: what the hell is this?? We where going 160-170-180-190 kph and the eyes became bigger and bigger from the audi driver.. at 205 it stopped.. then he took his car in front of mine and 215 was the max we drove!! Haha.. ask Bart, he was even more shaking then my car i believe hihihi…. just kidding Bart! ?

I prefer the Allen-bolt. Let's make it: an inbusbolt! More on the subject, My feb 1971 240z car does not have the strap, also the mounts are not there.. I ask myself don't they have one ( the early cars?) Is it why my car shakes so much when going over 200kph? (Last summer on the german highway, around 210 on the clock… totally Original engine! ? ) Got the feeling.. any moment it's going to take of!!

Hey Captain, i can't deal with english hardware on a Metric car!!! … I hate it! ? …. btw... isn't that hex head called an allan key? or is that tipically English to call it that? I've never heard of a SHCS bolt? what does it stand for? ( when Volvo made the p1800 there were also english bolts and things on it for a few years because they made them in England! normally a Metric swedish car..) EDIT... haha.. SHCS.... google... says : a socket head cap screw…. pfff.. we call it (Dutch) a: "inbusbout" haha.. a bolt with an IN(side) hex-hole... simple…

Yes, 26th z is right. throttle return damper, as memory serves my right... this is a smaller one as on the euro version originaly was.. it's the first part that stops working and people throw them away, because they are not really working most of the time.. (therefore you see them rarely)

Nice car for that price.. it has a big hole in the hood but who cares! If you sell the Z of the hood you make a profit hahaha !! BTW... your name sounds very Dutch? You (or your family) have Dutch Roots?

ofcourse.. dummy me.. the ser.nr. is on the block! just under the headseal..

Pictures could help a lot.. but i think your having a 280z or 280zx block.. 2753cc , The serial nr is on the head, near the headseal.. where it says N42?

I remember making one out of a inner tube of a car tire.. it works very well. ask for a punctured inner tube at a tire shop, they got them laying around!

Like these.... I was looking for a pic. of my E41 with the 2 inlet parts but found these.. now on my 240z for over 20 years.. restored 2007.. (got a set but it's for a Original 240z euro engine i've got.. lying around…?)

You want a set of HJG46W ( also called round top) carburators? The standard (easy to tune) Datsun 240z carbs? (I do have a used set for 500 euro.. but i think to expencive to ship.. from the Netherlands... btw.. were is santa paula? (sounds californian..USA?)

??? …..……. Sorry i did'nt know i was speaking Spanish? ? 4 front and 4 rear bumpers complete! i think 1 set has the bumperettes/bars you guys (american's) call them? If your thinking about buying them.. one set of bumpers, the shipping alone is around 400 dollars, (pure guess..) IF they want to ship them at all!!

I "found" 4 of them on my garage attic.. But here in the Netherlands no one wants to pay up for them so they stay were they are as i payed good money for straight ones.. (different types for EU and US. cars.) A nice new chromed ORIGINAL bumper costs overhere about 400Efor a bumper and 950E for anew layer of chrome.. (copper/nickel/chrome.) In total i got 8 bumpers left, they are 240z and 1 set i know is 260z.. chrome is not perfect but on the outside they are not rusty.

Would more likely be a 1989 car… ( the 300zxtt came out late '89..)

What a scammm...

You can Always check if the energy company gives you the amps they promised you?

This conversation remembers me to one time a friend measured the internal resistance of the electric network… with in that time a common analog meter... the pointer on that meter acted like a fan! As we say in the Netherlands: schoenmaker blijf bij je leest! Translated: something like: shoemaker stick to your own profession? As schoolfriends we both bought a new analog multimeter... i'm proud to say: mine is still working on my bench… the secret? Look twice (!!!!) at how your leads are plugged in, then look if the thing you are going to test is free of load. not sure measure the voltage first and remember, capacitors hold voltage! But electronics is'nt something you learn in a few month's.. To measure the injection system of a 280z of zx, a oscillograf would be much better….

Just for fun… i put it on "marktplaats.nl" for sale.. It;s going to be interesting, has only 85317 km on it.. today new brakepads all around for the first time in 27 years! ( few years ago it had a set of new pads in the front only) It has it's 4th battery and 3th set of tires.. still the Original exhaust… it's a be-autiful car… ? new APK (MOT) for a year, (till 24-09-2019) Paint perfect, interior perfect leather and alcantara is perfect... need i go on about it? ?

Better buy a good used.. It is a lottery to repair it, if you never have opened a gearbox, it;s a big risk.. but on the other hand, if you have the parts laying around just try to repair it, you learn a lot.

Very coinsidential.. my 300 go's APK or as the english say: MOT today.. for a month or so driving it... and when winter comes it go's into wintersleep.. for the 27th time!

A long screwdriver between the spot you want to hear and your ear, just lay your ear to listen against the top of the handle.. it works..
