If you are looking to take care of a F*****y carburetor issue on your Z, I don't think you can find a better company to work on your Sus. Steve is easy to work with, and seriously interested in doing his best work on every carb he touches and though Bruce obviously runs a little rich most of the time, he obviously has fun doing his part well. I had a set of three screws rebuilt, had the balance tube welded up and polished, and even had a little custom work done, all of it was the highest quality, and followed up with great service. Don't waste your time or energy, exchange your carbs, or the bodies, or use the rebuild service! Will

Getting it running is fine, but with the rust and damage you show, putting it on the street might be the last thing you do. Don't let your pride put you in harms way. Will

Wait, this is early Nissan, they skipped around within the vin pool-avoiding entire groups of numbers giving serious creedance to the old bit about ". I think it would be better to ask if the standard deviant would be within one standard deviation of the 8! Will ...or am I the deviant...hmmm

Welcome to the two or more Datsun model Club! You have a good bit of fun ahead! The roadsters are fun, and a great compliment to the Z!-you'll love the mileage when you get her all tuned up! Be sure to join "The List", and the Roadster Owners Club in our area-Victor gave me that advice when I bought my 69/70 2000 and it has proved invaluable! Will

Here you go! http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16853&highlight=scarab

Welcome! Everything-well, almost everything-you could want to know about an early Z car can be found at www.ZHOME.com. Most of it is in one form or another here in our archives as well, but www.ZHome.com is more of a repository, and less of a conversation, and in the Z world we need both-the conversation changes, but the info stays the same! Will

If you don't find one before I get to the farm(where I store my parts cars-90 miles away), I'll cut a pair of for you. I'll be heading up ther week after next. Will

Pictures of progress? We want to see the start, the finish and the glory between! Congrats on the blip and run! I love it when a plans comes together! Will

Are you going to have the first ZX equipped with all of the goodies from the 'copter, the Mini, and the third hallway(as you imagined it)? When do we get the uncut version of the trip? Looks like too much fun, too little time, and no trouble because of the first two! Will

I had a similar situation last year a few days before the ZCCA National Convention. I chose to wait because of exactly what E has said. I want the car right and I know me well enough to know I would do something careless because of rushing to meet the impending deadline I imposed. Hurrying such a large project is fine for a professional mechanic, who does this all day every day, but for me, rushing in somewhat familiar territory has made too many "nice" projects out of what would have been outstanding projects. If the car is to be a driver, OK. If the car is to be more-wait. Will

Found it.. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21084&highlight=n33 and more... http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6052&highlight=n33 and more...

OK, now add these to the list. N36 E46 From the new list: E88 E46 N33 N36 WHich came what on what year? Which are the best for performanZe? I did notice runner diameter differences-I'll measure and post those later today. I know someone did a compariason of several, but I couldn't find it. Will

Are you talking about the ZX nuts? They do not have to be staked, but I would replace them with new ones at each removal. Cheep insurance and priceless peace of mind! Will PS still available from the dealer...

A beautiful Rally car, an "upscale" neighborhood at a recent big $$$$ car show, major Magazine coverage of your success...You're livin' Large Carl! The IRS just wants their share of your lifestyle! I'd say take it as a complement, but complements are only supposed to bring tears of joy, not mushroomed spindle pin thoughts! Will

I would take the dash...or print the pics from Z home... Will

There were two different dashes in 240Z, early and late-check here: http://zhome.com/Classic/Restore/dash.htm A few early 260s had late 240 dashes(or at least I have run across a few), but most had 280Z dashes. Will

240Z and 280Zs are hls30s 260Zs are Rls30s. Look at your manufacture date to see if you have an early or late car-DS door post. Will

For that Price, I would think you could be in the waiting list for a gold medallion winner. Will

Did you put in two Pilot bushings? Will

Sounds familiar...a beautiful and valuable car with a seller dictating terms of a sale, and limiting buyers to those he approves of, worse yet, hosting a short sale requiring one single form of payment and not accepting one form of payment that is legal for all debts, public and private-yet wanting a 2K deposit via paypal. Turning the car seems to be important until you consider his limitations on the sale. Evidently He doesn't realize Nissan did not actually restore a single car in the program, they modified all of them, No Z came from Japan, or was unloaded off a transport in the 60s or 70s with any Vintage Z program stickers, console plaque, or updates...Unfortunately, these cars don't belong on the Stock Class in a ZCCA show because they are not..."configured exactly as shipped from factory." I think he is soaking a lure... Will

Outstanding! 20 hours straight...talk about commitment! Will

This is still the easiest way to properly turbo a car. The F*****y did all of the engineering, all you have to do is move all of the components. Because the Engine bay is so similar, there is very little in the way of supplemental engineering to do(basicly you have a few brackets to relocate and/or fabricate). Buying a running donor car and putting them side by side is the easiest way. Buying pieces a part at a time from multiple sources means any part could be suspect if you get it all together and it doesn't work-unless you are really familiar with the systems you are moving, it can be a seriously fast way to frustration. If you have a running car to test and verify parts with, it really helps. A side by side conversion is absolutely the easiest way to do a first time swap-and it is pretty basicly a drop in-but involves everything that is needed to support the running of the engine as well. If I had to do one piece meal, I would get it running on a stand where everything could be r/r easily to make the job as easy as possible, and probably get two of everything supporting the engine-nothing is worse than continually having momentum stopped cold by having to wait to find a good part on a used part project... Will

Personally I have always wanted a whole bunch of different year lugnuts, and here you guys are! Wow, one is even wrapped in aluminium! Seriously, I fell in love with the 240Z when I was a youngster on a school bus, and knew I had to have one of those "devilfish cars". Will

SAWEET! Can't wait to see it under power!!! Will

Not me, I've been pulling all of the good stuf I find in good shape. Will
