    Thanks on the warning on the scca deal. but I am just doing this for street/show fun. scca has no runs close enough for me to worry about that. As far as tubing the 4&8 point are 1-3/4x.134 wall steel and the 10&12 are 1-5/8x.134 . The nhra & ihra standards are high enough for me. I just thought that some other ppl may want to know who has what for Z's that some times get overlooked. Thanks again. Jeff. :beard:

    Well, I made A call to JEG'S (1-800-345-4545) they have the jigs for making up full cages (weld-in) in 4 point $122.99 , 8 point $149.99, 10 point $199.99, and full 12 point cage for $269.99. I am getting the 8 point and it takes 2 weeks for them to bend it up and ship it. I will post some pics when it shows and then more as it gets put in. :beard: P.S. They said they had them for all Z's @ the same prices.

    first thanks. Now the wires are (NGK SPARK PLUG CABLE R-8) and the oil filter is A BOSCH 3500 . now datsun made life easy as far as oil filters go there fordROFL . Because of the filter being ford I am going to be getting a remote twin filter with cooler soon. Its easy and will drop motor temp. big time.

    Just put in.
  9. Well, after 8 years of looking I found A real rust free 240Z. Now let the fun start. I just put the motor back in a few days ago now and just orderd her A 8 point cage. Then out for paint. I have had three vettes in the past and sold my last vette just to get the extra $$$$ to do this 240Z the way it should be done. Now to pick A color.
  10. theres A few pics. I have put this car up on A lift and found NO form of rust under her. This car still has the 8 track player thats just how pure she is. Getting close to picking A base color. I was thinking yellow but then look around and see how many yellow and red Z s are out there. Now thinking viper blue with the twin white stripes. Any thoughts let me know I am open. P.S. When I got the car home it had A aftermarket paint (metal flake turd brown) with sun crack in the clear coat. that and wanting to see if there was any body/rust filler in her. is why I am taking in so far down. Oh yah. the motor. race cam , valves , valvesprings , ported, 6 into 2 header with the fact twin su carbs . 4-speed.
  11. AIRBOX for a 73 240 twin carb let me know if you have one and a price thank you

    I own a 73 240z aswell and the easy way round that lock up is get some thermo tape and wrap the fuel line where it runs around the vavlecover.

    Help, I just picked up a 1973 (late 72) I have had A 240z before but this one has A ton of go fast stuff on her. Thats where it starts the motor has A big time cam with 3 into 2 headers and the old school wire cage air cleaners. Now with the headache I got the car for the most part nonrunning ( started but wouldnt stay running) with the aircleaner box and fact ex mana gone. There are caps on the vac holes on the intake. The carbs where set rich big time so I went and tried to put the carbs at the fact settings. It runs fine but when you bring up the rpms fast it back pops through the carbs. I have pulled the valve cover and made sure the valves are set proper they are. By the way the guts of this baby are like new. The body on this car is 100% rust free. I am stripping the fact paint and pulling lights and trim. So its not a car I have on the road yet and I want it rite. So if you know what your talking about please help. Thank You Jeff
