Welcome, I got my '71 240z on Ebay also... it's turned out to be a little more work than I thought ,but this is my 4th so it's a labor of love... Evan

In '73 Datsun bit off more than they could chew... too many new innovations on one model change. Only a couple of months into '73 Datsun was getting so many 260's being returned to the dealers that Datsun decided to just tool up the 240 assembly line again and produce 240's marked as 260's... If you run the VIN you can find out if it's a "real" 260 or a "73 240" My advice to collectors is: if full restoration for investment is your goal than a "true 260" is worth more to 'niche' collectors (kinda like the '64 & 1/2 Mustang) but only in full restoration condition, otherwise any 240 '70-'72 is where the real fun & performence is... I hope this helps.... Evan

Thanx, I pretty much had made up my mind on R200 lsd but I feel relieved to hear your replies confirm it... I'm sorry where or who is CDM...??? I have a 280block w/ a 240 head,a mail order schneider cam & 3 custom 50mm weber carbs She's fast & loud but slippery as heck... Oh, I've seen links to a "phantom grip" R200 LSD conversion kit... Have you heard anything on this...??? thanx in advance

Thanx I'll check it out

I need to install a LSD on a 71 240... I need to decide on a ratio & a type... Please help ...

Haven't taken them off yet, still just trying with air gauge, I'll keep an eye on the plates when I get there... Had a set up like this before , still never got it right, always fiddlin' It delivers , but it's tempermental... I run a Schneider custom cam... Thanx

does anyone run a set...??? what's up with setting them up...??? Tried to sink 'em can't seem to get it right...

Just came on, Hello I'm 30 and I just got my 3rd 240Z... she's a 71' Bought her already modified for performence so you should here a lot from me in the future... interior is trash & he did a # on the electrical... Later
