Hmm, I wonder if that could be done to a 240Z? Do you have any diagrams, or detailed pictures of what you did?

Victor: If this is something that can be added to a 240Z without cutting up the stock harness, you can count me in for a set. I've wanted to add relays for a long time, but I won't chop up my virgin wiring to do it. PS I don't even know if what I want to accomplish is possible without cutting up the OEM wiring.

Countries have laws about importing stuff. Tariffs must be paid, like the customs charges and Value Added taxes mentioned. What a surprise, imagine that; a government wanting to shove it's hand in it's citizens pocket every chance it gets! If someone trys to send stuff and claim it was a "gift", it might be possible to circumvent some of these fees, but that person would be opening themselves up for legal problems. Much as I'd like to help SteveK or some of our "Down Under" friends, I cannot afford to take the chance with regard to the legal issues. I'm not sure it would be considered "Smuggling", but it would be pretty close to that.

Ross at M.M. does have a fine product, but at a much greater price than the "under $100" for the rotors mentioned. Of course, the above mentioned kits will stop your car better. It's all in the budget you have to work with, how much you want to alter your car, and how you need it to perform.

Fuzzy Dice, huh? Thank goodness my 3 cats aren't white (one black, one grey, one black and grey), so it couldn't have been me. Oh, wait.......wasn't there an elderly fellow in the Member Mugshots Gallery with Gold Z and a white cat by his side? Hmmmm, I wonder........................

Hi Rick: In our country anyone who can "stick a round peg in a round hole" is allowed (read encouraged) to procreate. Sadly this has resulted in the dilution of our gene pool to such an extent that STOOPID is becoming the norm. Instead of folks thinking (and doing) for themselves, a good many people expect the government and other public agencies to "hold their hand" though life and to protect them from themselves. It's very sad.

If I'm understanding the situation, the driveway is a steep incline UP into the garage. Only thing I can think of is to gather 4 to 6 TRUSTED men to man-handle the car out of the garage, rotate it and push it back in (or where ever Gary wants it to be). I gotta ask though, since it's the only car in the garage, what was gained by parking it in this fashion? Wasn't here enough room on the sides when parked normally to work on it?

No offense meant, but I have had rotton experience with AutoZone lifetime warrenteed products. Like returning the starter 4 times in 2 years. Sure, it isn't a big job to replace the starter, but being stranded with a car that won't start SUCKS. I would rather pay a bit more for a higher quality product than is available at AutoZone. ------------------------------------- www.pegasusautoracing.com offers electric FACET brand fuel pumps (Pegasus P/N #1105 and 1106) that appear identical to the units sold by Nissan. ALSO http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/eppages/interrupterpump.php offers the same type of pumps. They are used on some aircraft and by racers. You want either the 480545 or the 478360. The first one has an anti-siphon feature and the second one doesn't. I don't think the factory one did. PS, our member George Cohn discovered these pumps and posted the info to the 240z.org mail list. props to George!

Here is one up for sale now that looks to be in similar good condition (body wise) and is $1000 cheaper. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?postid=67842#post67842

I work in a job dealing with the general public all day and I am not surprised at these questions. I used to wonder how our country elected some the liars and thieves that end up in public office. I don't wonder anymore. There are (sadly) many people out there that are really brain damaged. To bad they aren't required to have a flashing RED light on their foreheads.........it would light up the night and warn the rest of us as to who they are! (before they open their mouths.)

Opinions will vary, but I think it is over priced at $4600.00 even with the "new dash". The other parts mentioned aren't very expensive and install of them could be done by any reasonably experienced person. In CA one can find cars similar to this for less if a bit of time is spent shopping. And I'd wager that the headlights would be working too!

I connect that way also, but I usually use a ratchet and socket on the crank pulley bolt, as I always have problems with the engine spinning past where I want the camshaft lobe(s) for a particular valve(s) to be located.

Also, I have to wonder why someone would install "New Dash, New Rear Deck Emblems, New wiper blade assemblies, New rear hatch support strut,....." and not bother to fix the freakin headlights before offering it up for sale

There is more to life that "Top Speed" like: How long it took the car to acheive said Top Speed Drivability under ALL conditions the car is driven in Fuel Mileage Only you can decide how much you are willing to pay for any level of performance. You can get Round Top SU's much cheaper than $700 and rebuild them yourself. There are still a fair amount of Z's out there with "boat anchor" carbs in them, and they are (or can be) driven every day, but there are performance gains to be had from Round Top SU's that IMHO are not available with "boat anchors".

According to www.Zhome.com "Classic Z Car Register" there were only 500 US market 240Z "manufactured" in 1969, then 16,215 US market 240Z's "manufactured" in 1970. A 240Z with SN# 2098 would have been "manufactured" somewhere in the late January to March 1970 timeframe. Most likely didn't hit our shores until late February at the earliest. Not trying to "dis" the car or seller, just commenting on the seeming discrepancy to published data concerning production date.

Hi Stephen: :tapemouth Err, now that you mention it, I believe that you are correct. Since I am "electrically challenged" I have a "Y" splitter between the fusible link and the spade, and the other correct terminal (that should be the POS) marked so that it is "idiot" (that would be me) proof. Thanks for the correction, I hope that Ian240 hasn't done his valves yet!.

???? There were only 500 US market 240Z's manufactured in 1969, something seems fishy here.

Yes you did. I was watching those insulators also and when the price past the price charged by normal retail Z car parts sellers I logged off. Some folks will pay any amount for anything :stupid: :stupid:

Hi: 100% original, purchased from original owner, with all systems intact. Nissan stopped using the console with the ashtray at the very front (over the fusebox) in early 1971, that is why they sell for over $100 consistantly on eBay. Realtively few cars (in relation to total 240Z production) came with them AND they were made of some plastic-type material and did not survive very well.

One wire goes to the male SPADE connector on the solenoid (where the fusible link connects) and the other connects to where the NEG batt cable connects EDIT: THAT SHOULD BE THE POS BATTERY TERMINAL

I have a 1972 titled 240Z, mfg 11/71 and it came with the pictured Fese box cover panel. There is nothing connected to the seatbelt warning indicator on my panel, but the lense is there.

Will zinc conduct electricity? If it will, you will need to be sure that no circuits are bridged by the spray application. I would consider using a brush on type of application to ensure there are no bridges. Spray into a cup , then brush it on from the cup. But of course, I'm anal about stuff like that.

That is what I was thinking, too.

That is INCREDIBLE! I cannot imagine the dedication and effort it took to accomplish this project. It even SOUNDS like a real Ferrari Flat 12. "Awe"some! Thanks for the link!
