The headliner on a 240z is just glued to the roof pannel, and can be peeled off if you can get it started. Its hard to get out from under the chassis frame. The Liner on the frame however is a different matter. It cant be removed without taking out your front windscreen, as it is glued on under the window seal. After you take out the window, and door frame seals, you peel it away from the seal frame part toward the center of the car. Then when you look under the liner, there is a strip of plastic/metal edging stuff (like the stuff around the door frame) that holdes the liner in place. Why are you removing the liner? Are yo repainting the car? Might be easier to just mask the liner with tape and paper if you dont want to go to all this trouble.

Yeah I admit it. I was wrong. My car has been in peices too long. I'm starting to forget how it all goes back together. I was thinking of the celica headlights on my brothers car. Thought nissan migh have copied toyotas more used friendly way of releasing the headlight from the casing.

Well actually you just have to loosen the 3 screws on the chrome surround, twist it and the chrome surround and headlight come out.

I think the Hand throttle was deleted from the 240z model before the automatic was introduced. So that would be a no it wasn't installed on automatics. But I could be wrong i guess.

I'm pretty sure you can get the sill dogleg from Rare Spares. https://rsp-secure.com/shop/Search%20Products/toc.asp?car_type=34A&model=240Z - 260Z

You putting flares on your car Auxilary? I've been considering it, but dont really want to cut out my metal guards, as its a pretty irreversable thing. Wonder how much shipping to Australia would cost. Wonder if there are any Australian suppliers? Anybody know? You can get carbon fibre flares from z spirit garage in Japan.

You ever get my cars details? They are in my gallery. I think you asked me for them. 240Z 2/72 HS30 10527 L24 077313 (Still has original engine) Manual Original Paint Colour: Metalic Silver Black Interior. I also have a 260 2+2 that i will add details for. *Wait for edit*

You can get them in Australia cant you? We got the Mk2 with Flares, and Mags. They Look good on RA28 Celicas too.

And all 240z had MPH speedos. but you already know that I'm sure.

Not much info here either, but at least they mention it. http://www.zcsd.org http://www.zcsd.org/tech-articles/power-quest1.html

Here's the link i think you mean http://www.geocities.com/zgarage2001/z.html No mention of N33 heads there though.

WHOOO HOOO!! Congratulations Hayden. Cant wait to see some photos.

Heres a better rally car picture

Photos have finally been cleared and are viewable. Going to upload some more. I took photos of every car that was there, so it you spot one you want a closer look at let me know and i'll upload it.

Hi Everybody. Saw an interesting ad last week for a Japanese Spec Fairlady Z for sale. Was condidering buying the car, but decided i should spent the money on getting my 240z project back on the road. So here's the details for anyone else that may be interested. From what ive been told: It's a 1978 Fairlady Z 2+2. (original L20E has bee removed) Engine : L28 EFI. Electric mirrors, windows and has air conditioning (must be a Fairlady Z -T) Manual. Had a bare metal respray about 4 years ago. Rust was cut out and new sills welded in. Interior has been re-upholstered. The car is currently unlicenced and has been in storage for a year. The owner stopped driving it what he recieved a company car and there wasn't enough room to keep it at his house. He's selling it for AUD$3500 If you are interested in the car. PM me an i will pass on your details

I've seen Simons old website. I also have the Issue of Zoom magazine that his car appeared in (Number 44 if you want to back order a copy). Apart from bucket loads of chrome in the engin bay, he also smoothed out all the bumps, and routed electrical and fuel and brake lines inder the guards. If you look at the brake master cylinder you notice the pipes come straight down throught 2 holes drilled in the inner fender (throught grommets of course).

Now before you go getting all "worst case scenario" pull the head off and have a look at it. If you have to replace the head gasket, you may as well do the valve stem seals at while you have the head off.

I happend to notice there was an '83 Nissan President for sale in WA. Anybody want a Nissan 4.4 litre V8 in their Z? http://www.quokka-online.com/ Though for the price they are asking you could almost get a RB26DETT.

Firstly you would have to get the compression back up, as turbo engines generally have lower compression than non turbo motors. More importantly the type of head on the engine rather than the block would be usefull information. Seriously. Get a turbo. :stupid: Have you been for a drive in a turbo 6? You'll the power compared to a NA 6. Z car garage has some info on turbo L28 engines and all the various z heads. http://www.geocities.com/zgarage2001/engine.html http://www.geocities.com/zgarage2001/heads.html

Well they weren't designed to be driven sideways into Telegraph poles. Gotta hope that was a left hand drive car. Maybe the driver was distracted by the Fluffy Dice that used to hang from the rear view mirror.

Just curious. Why are you selling it?

I went to the WA Datsun 240Z & 260Z Register Show Day today. The WA Z guys were pleased by the turn out from what I hear, and you couldnt have asked for better weather. There were about 20 240/260z's there (mostly 260z's), and 7 fairlady roadsters. Met a few guys from this site also. I'm Uploading some photos to my gallery.

You are my hero! You and Auxilary. Why wasn't black a standard colour on the 240z. THey look so good black.

Looks like an overweight RX4.

Yep very un-cool.
