Well i purchased a used hatch strut support about a month ago and i finally got the time today to install it on my Z only to find out that it seems to seized. It won't collapse. I tried putting some WD 40 and hitting it with a rubber mallet but it still won't go down. Is there something special that i have to do to make it collapse?

Just saw this get posted on youtube. OS Giken head 240z in action. Sounds great.

Well it seems that i can't edit the previous post so I will just add to it. The other question was if it was possible to use the current welting that is on the car right now. Thanks.

I was wondering if the Black dragon door weatherstrip comes with the "welting already attached" or if they sell that seperatly? I am going to buy a replacement and i was looking at the motorsport auto version and the website said that i would have to purchase the welting.

they don't accept flat tops as cores, sorry.

I got some new SU's from them. The cool part was that a friend of mine gave me and extra core and so i was able to save 75 dollars off the price. I think they will accept up to 3 cores. If you are going to get new ones from them i would recommend trying to locate some cheap cores. The video comes for free if you buy replacements but you have to pay extra if you want it in dvd format. The carbs are great by the way.

i have a 72. Its just that i let my friend borrow my manual and he lost it. I really don't want to go buy a new one if I can find a how to on line.

I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find a how to on installing new shoes and a "drum rebuild kit". I have very little experience with working on brakes.

yah i noticed that too. i think that baby is hiding some rust

So I have been seeing the brass shifter bushing for sale on ebay. I was wondering if it was worth th 15 bux.

umm u need to host the picture you want to post. you just linked it to your own hard drive.

i believe modern motorsports sells one for 30 bucks.

that car has been for sale for over 6 months on craigslist. you might be able to knock the guy down a lot of the price.

i think you can piece one together cheaper. msa sells the brake lines for roughly 50 bucks. the brake pads using rear 240sx calipers is another 50. you can get powerslot rotors for 50 bux each on summit racing. the rear brake brackets are 165 from modern motorsports. the only thing you would have to figure out is how to affix the e-brake and sourcing some used rear calipers from a 240sx.

yah, the problem was that the old fuel pump went bad and was replaced with a electric one so i didn't know where the fuel filter went. Thanks .

I don't know if this is the right forum to ask this question. I'm trying to find out where the fuel filter is located on a 72 240z. I tried searching for it with no luck.

lots of good information. I forgot to say I live in San Antonio, Tx. So i will probably will be going with the higher viscosity.

Well im finally getting my 240z up and running and I am planning to do an oil change. I want to stick with a synthetic oil. I use Royal Purple on my 240sx but I have also heard of people using Mobil 1 synthetic on the 240z. I was wondering if there where any other good synthetic oils out there and what viscosity it should be. I was also wondering about how many quarts and which type of oil filter (possibly fram). Thanks.

thanks. I just never heard of it and wanted to know.

I saw this on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/240z-Headers-JDM-Fairlady-2-0L-Rare_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33631QQitemZ290095819834QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW Other than the fitment issues would this actually match up the ports on a 240z?

bought a broke down 260z in serious need of repair for $300. I quickly sold that to a friend of mine at cost. He is in the process of tearing it down for restoration. I got lucky kind of and found a 72 240z like 3 weeks after i got the 260z. My wife actually let me go take out a loan to get that one. I spent 2100 for it (texas car, rust proofed by previous owner). The 240z is not running right now because I'm waiting for my z therapy carbs to come in. Once i get it running I'll post some pics.

saw this on ebay. thought someone might want one. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Datsun-Nissan-240Z-280Z-Fairlady-Z-Car-Nismo-Header_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33631QQitemZ330098310411QQrdZ1

i prefer the arizona z car brake kit, i think its about the same price but i don't know if you need new hubs for that.

I had a set on my 240sx for over 2 years and it still has a lot of tread on it. Good buy.

I had a similar problem and I realized that somehow the wire that was hooked up to the starter got disconnected. It might be that the wire is bad also.
