Yeah, I'll admit to that. We're lucky to live where there is still a reasonable selection of 240Zs left. So here's a question that puzzles me a bit. Why don't more Easterners buy these affordable West Coast cars and ship them back East? Sure, shipping would add $800-1000, but you might still come out ahead.

Bad news, Tom. While the British kept almost all records of this type (I had a Heritage Certificate for my MG), Datsun/Nissan has no similar information available.

Yes Bryan, it is. More pictures in the thread were we first discussed these:http://classiczcars.com/forums/showpost.php?p=209709&postcount=122

Looking at the pictures and comparing it to my yellow 240Z, I'd buy it on the assumption that it's a parts car, and place my bid accordingly. If it turns out to be worth saving, fine. But I wouldn't bid on it that way. Does appear to have some good parts, though.

And that's exactly where the alternator plug and the sidemarker conversions he sells came from. I think of things I'd like to have for my own car, make an ugly mockup, and let Dave do it right. It's a good system!

Was still on the placeholder page on the West Coast at 8:00 AM PDT this morning, but is available again as of now.

Check to make certain all of your fuel hose clamps are tight. Both at the filter and also at the tank. If they are loose it can suck air there.

Mine is a Harada HR-22. I bought mine at a similar surplus parts house a few months ago. I had to pay $33 for mine.

Dave, I've put 15+ in mine, when it was quite empty.

Looks like the domain registration expired.

Mine is still black gel-coat, and I agree, it would look better in satin black. But I plan to paint it to match the car when the car itself gets painted.

That's new, I get it the flagged page now too. Claimed to be a clean original '73 for $2900. Probably too good to be true anyway...

What Gary said is a good point. Mine were far too stiff with NOS Mulhollands, but fine with KYBs. What strut inserts do you have?

Yes, it's a '73, and there's a whole lot left to the imagination. But if it's even half as good as described, this is a real buy. http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/car/621047827.html

Derek, do you know which Nissan Comp springs you got? I have a set of the repro Euro Stage 1 springs on my 240Z, and the ride is almost unchanged over the stock springs I took out.

I still love the early 919 yellow on a 240Z. A lot. Ranks as one of my favorite colors on these cars.But the red car doesn't need the full meal deal, assuming that I don't change colors. The engine compartment and interior are great. So changing color seems wrong to me in this case. The car is a very original survivor, and as such it should (and will) remain 905 red. The exterior is dinged, chipped and badly faded now. The flaws will be addressed, and the color will be matched to the unfaded paint inside the car. Toolbox lids, probably.

I'd be shipping a lot more parts...

Note to self: After I cut the roof off, remember to cut this piece out of the yellow car's shell prior to hauling the remains to the crusher...

We all have our little ways, now don't we. Should we talk about pin-striping now? or custom painting Hot Wheels?

Mike, I'd try to hold it to 2-3 amps, no more. It will take quite a while to charge it at that rate, but you shouldn't damage it.

9:00 AM or thereabouts.

The switch in a '72 was located in the radio faceplate, just above the tuning knob. They frequently got moved to the console when aftermarket radios got installed.

Got the gas tank out, very clean inside. Planning to bring it, the E31 head, rear bumper parts, taillights, glovebox doors, door panels, inside dogleg panels, tail trim panels, and other miscellaneous stuff. Or as much of it as I can fit in the car...

Banzai's website is seldom updated. Don't hink there has been an update at all in the 2 1/2 years I've been into Zs. Don't trust the prices you see there, or availability of any item you see there. I recall someone some months back saying the Banzai no longer had the part in question available at all, at any price.

If Charlie has no stock, also try Z Specialties in Snohomish. http://www.datsunstore.com/product_info.php/cPath/4/products_id/627
