Ummm...taking a flier here...but given that the problem occurs with heat, any chance you might be looking at vapor lock?

Nice car (even if it is parked in New Jersey ). Just to help out, here are the photos:

Looks like your car is breathing...

Silly question... What does holding the throttle open accomplish?

Depends on the quality of the build (home job or at a reputable shop), condition of the head (stock / ported & polished), etc. If it is a home job, look at Ebay for completed sales of similar rebuilds. Good luck on sale.

Yeah, you're in Z country down in Fla...have fun with the car and welcome to the madness... First ground rule...you must post pic's...

Check your ground connections...I'm no expert on this, but that's the first thing everyone says...

Umm...pass on it...more because of the mice poop (and the lack of care that indicates) than the tranny (automatics and 4 speeds are a dime a dozen as people usually have them lying around after the 5 speed upgrade...). The hunt continues...

I think they were white or black...not sure there was a black and white...

Both... Good news is the auto's tend to have been thrashed a little less...and you can swap in a manual if you want to... As always, rust is the key...if the body is good the Z is your oyster... EDIT...Turns out I agree with MikeW...great post MikeW...

Uhh...your bulb is turned on...that would be a 45.9 liter engine...think locomotive... I'm pretty sure that's why Tomo was 'ing...

I think both were not wearing seatbelts...we've had pretty good summer thundershowers rolling through off and on over the last week...she found a soft landing spot...1 in a million...the guy she was sitting on also got tossed...landing wasn't as soft... Just not smart...Darwin in action but possibly missed one...with all due respect...

Not sure but 2+2 Turbo Z31 was definitely available in Canada...possibly the Z32 as well... But the report did state 3 in the front seat...

Along with it's driver and a passenger... These kids are giving the rest of us a bad name... From WWW.CBC.CA Street racing suspected in 2 Toronto deaths Last Updated: Tuesday, July 7, 2009 | 9:51 AM ET Two people were ejected from a red Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo that lost control and smashed through a guardrail on the Don Valley Parkway. (CBC)Two men died after one of two cars speeding along the northbound Don Valley Parkway in Toronto lost control Monday evening, police said. The red Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo spun out of control, smashed through a guardrail and came to a stop on the side of the road, its roof peeled away. Two men riding in the vehicle, one 20 years old and the other 21, were thrown from the car and died. No names have been released. The driver, the 21-year-old, died immediately. His passenger was found at the side of the road with critical injuries, and died a short time later. Toronto police Sgt. Tim Burrows said police believe another car was involved. "Witnesses have assisted us a great deal so far in our investigation [and] have led us to a point where we believe that [there] may have been ... street racing having taken place prior to the collision," he said. Burrows said police are looking for a white car they believe was racing the other vehicle. A 21-year-old woman survived the crash. She was also in the front passenger seat of the Nissan and was thrown from the car, but is expected to recover. The accident happened in the northbound lanes of the DVP, near Eglinton Avenue, just after 8:30 p.m. ET, closing the highway for many hours.

How cool is that?? Nice.

Much envy...

Cool...

Yeah, It pretty much tells you that you have a 240Z... Based on the serial # likely a late '70 maybe an early '71. Almost certainly a Series I... Enjoy the drive...

Umm...Bob...you're responding to a thread that is over 2 years old...

Go to www.hybridz.com they will have all the info you need.

I would suggest bringing it up to Canada assuming you have a clean title on the car. If you are in Toronto, go to Whitehead Motorsports as they will be able to do all the work (Greg Whitehead is the owner and Mike is his right hand man, both great guys). They will be able to suggest a body shop that knows Z's. When I was in Toronto a few years ago, their consensus recommendation would have likely been Luciani Auto collision. They were doing some very good work on Z's and everyone seemed very happy with their work.

Welcome aboard! Always good to see others with quasi-absurd growing collections of Z's.... Post pic's....

Up north (Ontario & Quebec at any rate), we generally include all forms of Datsun product in our Z days...

Don't park your car in New Jersey....
