Dan, Sent you a PM......

It works......

Up for sale is a 280Z, clock..... Price: $125, plus shipping.....

I discovered this tachometer amongst my many 240Z parts and being the sharp cookie that I am, having owned my 240Z for 45 years, I quickly realized this is no 240Z tach. A call for help here quickly resulted in me being informed that it comes out of a 280Z.I have no idea if it works or not and know of no way I can test it. Therefore, it is sold, "as is"If it turns out to be non-working I will refund your payment less postage. Price: $65. Plus $12.00 postage in the US.

JCB, I sent you a PM.......

Captain Obvious, Once again you have come to the rescue.... I certainly hope your promotion to Major is forthcoming.....!!!! I will inform JCB of your post and yes, the wire that hangs loose from the coupler is a solid green which as you say goes to the bulbs. All green wires go to the bulbs. Appears to be an easy fix. Many Thanks, George

Jeff, I am not sure at all... Your picture of the back of the Tach looks way different that what I have..... The one I have, me thinks now, may be for a 280Z or ZX... Perhaps we might get lucky and someone will enlighten me.... George

Sorry, but I do not know the answer to that question. However, there are a great many on this site who could probably answer your question...... What I can tell you is that it has a six-prong white connector on it. Here are some additional pictures that might be helpful. George

Between the tears and the sniffles I certainly do..... Have sent you a PM....

Professor, Sorry...Captain Obvious,,,,, TMI? Never...That's how I learn..... and am grateful for it. Regards, George

Captain Marvel.....Sorry, Obvious, Well, many thanks for that explanation which serves to remind me why I love the simple 240.... and struggle and get frustrated when all the bells and whistles go off, sometimes simultaneously, on my modern cars. I think I will just offer up this speedo for free to some 280Z owner as I have no idea if it works or not nor of its value..... In the meantime I am racking my brain trying to figure out how I got ahold of it..... Once again, thank you for your help..... Regards, George

Oh, My Captain.... The BCDD system.... why of course.... What is the BCDD system????. BTW, I do know the speedo has numbers on it from 10 to 160.... What I should have said specifically was that there are no serial numbers on the unit.... Many thanks..... George

In my box of 240Z extra parts I came across this speedometer which I know is not from a 240 and I have no recollection of how I came to have it. Was wondering if anyone might know what Z it belongs too. There are no numbers on the speedo, just some barely readable Kanji letters. There is a number on the wiring harness which is: 11660-AJ5000, Japan, G23. Thanks..... George

Siteunseen, Thanks for your note... I would not say that I " got rid " of my Z, rather, I would say I most reluctantly had to part with it as there was no one in my family I could pass it down too. However, I have been most fortunate in that the buyer is a great enthusiast of Z's, a heck of a nice guy and we have become good friends. There's a great element of comfort for me in that. Thanks for putting in the details about your conversion and to RCB280Z, in case there is someone out there who may wish to do the same. It's what makes this site so extremely valuable....... George

Thanks very much guys.....I appreciate the advice and ad has been corrected.... George

Thanks very much for the correction.... Many years ago I purchased this from, https://www.californiadatsun.com/distributors-and-parts/datsun-240z-280z-e12-80-rebuilt-electronic-distributor.html which in the advert says it's from a 75-78 280Z and the invoice that I have also says it's for a 280Z. I really don't know and am only going by what info I have. Do you think I should change it to 280ZX? George

Up for sale is a new, (rebuilt), distributor for a 280ZX. I initially purchased this distributor in order to convert my 240Z to electronic ignition. This distributor has never been used. It includes a new distributor cap and rotor. Also, the mounting attachments are provided. Price: $150.00 plus shipping.

I have sent you a PM.....

As some of you may be aware, after 45 years of ownership, I sold my 73, 240Z. Over the years I purchased numerous parts for it as we all do....just in case. I now have these parts as listed below and am offering them up for sale here. I have absolutely no idea what I paid for them and I am not undertaking a money making operation in selling them so if there is something you need or would like to have just make me a reasonable offer. If there is a specific part you are interested in I will happily send you a photo. If you want to discuss the part just send me a PM and I will send you my phone number. So, here goes.......with a few photos....

Have sold my 1973, 240Z and have a few remaining parts available for sale. We begin with a used gas tank. Price: $100.00 plus shipping. I also have Light stalk switches, Turn-Signal switches, most, if not all, the gauges and various other parts which i will list at a later date. Therefore, if there is anything you are looking for please feel free to contact me. George

Makes me feel that perhaps I priced my 73Z, here in the classifieds, too low at $27k......

After almost 45 years the time has come for me to part with my beloved 240Z. I am either going to take her to auction or put her up for sale but before I do that I just wanted to let any member know beforehand in case there might be someone, an enthusiast, who might be interested in purchasing it. This site and its members have been an absolute joy to be a part of over these many years not to mention a most useful and helpful source of advice and encouragement. So, here are some details on the car....... One of the things I didn't mention was that I have a boatload, and I do mean a boatload, of spare parts that will come with the car if a member buys it. Everything from a spare gas tank to loads of gauges, interior and exterior parts, engine parts with a list too long to mention now. Up for sale is my 1973 Datsun 240Z. I am the original and sole owner of this car and the car is completely and most extensively documented. I have virtually every single receipt for all work and modifications done to it from the first day I bought it new. That is, original sales receipt, title, manual, keys and for the past 45 years, all service records. Additionally, my car is registered and certified as a single owner car in the Z-car registry as number, 156. (http://www.zhome.com/IZCC/ZRegisters/original.htm) The license plate on the car is a Texas 1973 plate, which the DOV in Texas allows collectors to use, once certified, while providing a Texas Title. They also allow you to retain your original title, which I have. The car has never been in an accident. None of the glass has ever been replaced. Current tires on the car are Yokohama ES-100, 215/60/R-15 94V mounted on Riken 15 inch mags. Current mileage is 104,536 and the engine has never been rebuilt or out of the car. It was Ziebart'd (for those of you who know what that is) during its first week of ownership. The list of modifications to it is quite extensive and all modifications made have been done in order to improve its performance, drivability and safety. In many cases, where modifications have been made to the interior the original parts have been retained and are included with the car. (i.e. Original steering wheel, radio, shift-knob, etc.). The wood box in the rear trunk between the two front seats does not come with the car. The following represents a list of all major modifications: - Five speed transmission - Triple Mikuni carburetors - Larger, front brake calipers (Toyota) - High performance Cam - Free flow exhaust with headers - Lowered with Tokico shocks and struts - Momo Steering wheel (original included) - McIntosh radio/CD player with Alpine power amplifier (original radio included) - Xcel electronic ignition and coil - Upgraded distributor - Front/rear shock strut bars - Rear axel mustache bar - Rear metal window shade - Upgraded alternator and bracket - Larger radiator - Zeibart rust protection on first day of ownership - Custom front grill (Original included) - High performance fuel pump - Gas tank recently completely cleaned - Virtually new battery with heavier gauge grounds and wiring - PIAA fog lights -Cibi Headlights Lights -Datsun quartz clock (Original included) -Dynamat soundproofing front doors, rear and spare tire area, and rear lid. Price is $27,000 A PayPal deposit of $500 is expected within seven days of auction ending with the remainder to be paid within two weeks, in cash, certified cashiers check or direct bank transfer when the car is picked up or before it is shipped. I am available to answer or discuss any questions you might have. My phone number is (915) 920-9950 (Mountain Time) or you can email me. For any prospective buyer I highly encourage you to do this as I also would welcome knowing the one who might get my baby and I want you to be sure and happy about acquiring it. Over the many years of dabbling in cars I have never seen such a well-documented car for sale. I can assure you that you will also be impressed. I have only included a few pictures here, however, if interested I can send you dozens more. In many cases I have pictures of several mods done to the car, such as Dynamat soundproofing installation, radio, carbs, etc., Car has been sold !!!!!

Dave, Yes it is.... Still have the same battery in the Z, going strong.... You will have to construct a modified tie-down in order to secure it.. The picture above should give you a general idea....
