    Hello, sadly my 1971 240z was involved in a bit of a prang and I am in need of some front end body parts which are proving to be somewhat elusive. The parts I require are: Bonnet Front right and left guard Indicator clusters both left and right Front bumper Front apron Radiator supports. I have put in a fair bit of work into the mechanical side of my z, too much for it to go to waste so it would basically seem that i need a front cut or a cheap parts z. If anyone has\can tell me of places that would have what I am after I would appreciate your help. I live in Canberra (which just adds to my sadess ) but am prepared to travel for parts. cheers.

  4. Hello everyone, this is my first post here... I recently brought Alfa's 240Z and sadly also brought his carb problems. :\ A few weeks ago Alfa posted about the car's rough idling here, since then Alfa has done various things to it and I have replaced the plugs and will be getting it tuned to my altitude tommorow... but... the problems persist. I have a fairly limited technical knowledge and this is my first car without fuel injection but I suspect something must be rather wrong with the float in one of the carbs, the car runs terribly after using the choke, or idling for a few mins, and has recently started just dying when you put the clutch down into an intersection (the revs just rapidly drop without any spluttering etc to zero)... all of which can be solved by pushing the float up by hand, but as you can understand that isn't really a long-term solution. The carb seems to have problems adjusting the fueling ratio on and off choke and idle. Anyone have suggestions as to what is amiss? Could the float be rotten (is it made of plastic like Commodores?) or could there be a problemo with how it is hinged? Thanks, Patrick
