    All datsuns are pretty cool...... .....maybe not the big ugly ones (eg 280c).

    Hey Alfa. Though i'd make you jealous by telling you about a friend of mine who used to own a Skyline 2000 GT (82 i think). 2 litre L series 6 cylinder. Big TURBO lettering on the cylinder head. Turbo. Digital Dash. Painted White of course. Was a very fun car to go riding in. You found a manual box yet? Craig

    ....another word for coupe. Marketing people invent these terms (like fastback) to sell cars.
  4. Mr Camouflage
    Technically if it's got a hatch it's not a coupe. The Definition of Coupe is a 2 door car. (no mention of a hatch) generally with a fixed rear window (not as part of the boot hatch). Usually a 2 door version of a 4 dorr desan. All Z/ZX were 2 door hatch cars (sometimes called 3 doors which is just silly) except the convertibles. They didnt make ZX coupes. (toyota made celica hatches and coupes by the way). They did make 2 and 4 seater versions however. People just tend to call cars with 2 doors coupes, even if they have a hatch, and especially if they are sporty.

    I thnk they all did. My 72 has a light. I left my lid in the back of the car on a hot day and it melted. :disappoin :mad: So i'm gonna have to heat it up and melt it flat again or find another one.

    If its a turbo motor with turbo head and pistons and no turbo i imagine it's not very quick. You should stick a turbo, efi and computer back on it. Maybe the turbo died and he couldnt afford to rebuild it. Do a compression test and see how much compression its making. Carburetted L28's had flat top pistons, didnt they? and turbos had dished pistons to reduce compression.

    Put you car in 1st gear and bump the car untill the points are on a lump of the cam of the dizzy. Then check the points gap. Then rock it back to the flat part of the cam so the points are closed, turn the ignion to on, and using a long screwdriver push the points open and see if you get a spark.

    Sounds like a faulty turn signal switch, if the hazards still work. Try connecting the solder points on the back of the switch of the green wire to the white wire with the black stripe with a screwdriver and see if the lights come on. Have the ignition on or nothing will happen. If it works the problem is in the switch and you'll have to fix it or replace it. If it doesn't work, then the problam is elsewhere.

    Whats a Jasper engine?

    A previous owner of my 240z made a bracket and attached the choke to the transmission tunnel, which datsun should probably done in the first place. There'd be a lot less cracked centre consols if they had done.

    P.S. Alan Did the Z432 or Z432R ever have flares?
  13. Mr Camouflage
    So how much metal surgery is involved in fitting the standard flares to the 240z? I'm starting to like the look, and the extra grip of fatter tires is always good. I'm Considering fitting flares to my car.

    My Brother just bought an old celica that has a cd player with a detachable face plate, and was on the phone with the insurance company about insureing the car. This is their position about detachable faces: Brother: I have a stereo with a detachable face plate. Insurance co: You should leave the faceplate in the car, in the glovebox or under the seat. brother: wouldnt it make more sense to take it with me ? Insurance Co: If your stereo is stolen but you still have the face plate we wont pay for the stereo. Brother: Why? Insurance Co: Because all of the stereo hasnt been stolen, since you still have the face plate, we cant pay out on the stereo. Crazy huh. So if someone steals your tv (and you have house insurance), but leaves the remote controll behind, will they pay for the TV?

    Thats very ugly.
  16. Mr Camouflage
    Pictures please. I'd like to see what they look like.
  17. Mr Camouflage
    The top part is ZG, the bottom is a standard air damn like the ones i've seen on loads of american 240z's, but without the brake cooling air intakes.
  18. Mr Camouflage
    Looks like you might have a problem fitting rear bumpers to your car id thats it in the picture there. The recess for the bumpers on the side of the car have been filled in.
  19. Mr Camouflage
    What about putting vents in the service flap thingos instead of the bonnet. Would have to rig up some sort of drip tray under them for winter, to stop rain soaking the battery. But they are easier to get hold of than bonnets, and cheaper too.
  20. Mr Camouflage
    What exactly do you mean by this? I have a 72 240z with a dash that needs restoring, and a 260z dash from a 1975 in unknown condition (Parts car - I take delivery of it on the weekend).
  21. Mr Camouflage
    The new ones i bought from nissan for my old 240z 10 years ago started at the bottom front of the door scuff guard thing and went all the way around up the body and back down to the other side of the scuff guard. The ones on my new 240z are the newer style that you were talking about and are in 2 pieces. The 90 degree bend at the corner of the roof and rear window is where the join is. The old ones were moulded in the 90 degree bend, no join.
  22. Mr Camouflage
    Not if you do it yourself.
  23. Mr Camouflage
    I prefer the original style window door seals. Mine has the later style with the rubber bonded to the metal clip part, and the rubber can come away from the metal, also there are joins at the top. I remember the old style being one piece, all the way round.
  24. Mr Camouflage
    Somebody sould alert the cops in the state that this guy is from incase there has been a report of stolen property. How would you feel if it was your shed this guy raided. Fair enough if the truck belongs to his deceased granpa, he might have the right to take it back, but the other stuff might actually belong to someone.
  25. Mr Camouflage
    The best way to stop your car rusting is keep it waxed. and as soon as you get a stone chip, fix it. As long as you can keep oxygen away from the metal it wont rust. The only way to stop it rusting completely is store it in a total vacuum. but thats impractical. hmm cars dont rust in outersapce.
