So how come mine needs to be fixed out??? 96 000miles, but I do know the ZED I bought was used for some lapping and autocross... Oil rings (espeacially #3), and vavle seals.. Normal wear, well, I guess so on a 30 years old car.

Well, form what i red, they were quite impressed with the pas de danse of the car... Loks like it knows how to dance and quite well indeed! In kiosk right now !

Well, I cannot find a good used engine in Montreal for that....:sleepy:

Is it crazy to do that? How complicated? Any opinions? Since I have to rebuilt my engine, just wondering, yes, I will denaturate the soul of my ZED, but it's a good kick in the butt!!!:devious:

I just tried to ask a ?, but found it using the search function. Connard que je suis!!!!:sleepy: :stupid:

OK, went to the rad shop this morning, the guy told me, nope, your rad is in pretty good decent shape for an old car. I think I'll go with the bigger thermostat since I do not need to change the rad. I'll see what it does.

Check your mail. Thanks.

WELL WEL WELL,, It's really hot in Montreal thes last days, and today, it was 40C (around 105) with the Humidex factor close to 120F... Ouf. Tonight, I went for a ride in the ZED and notice that the temp needle was falling in love with the other side of the temp gauge...close to the 250, maybe 210.. Put the heater on, no, it would'nt drop... My ZED is running on a high timing ( I mean more advanced and rich carb also). I have a 2 core rad, thermostat was checked and now, tomorrow, I'm going for a 3 core radiator since I'll be using the car to go on holiday far from Montreal.. Any other advice regarless of all the posts here? Thanks guys! :dead:

never mind

Well, I have to say that it looks very nice, but for me in canada IT,S CLOSE TO 300.00 USD United States Dollars = 457.861 CAD Canadian It's a little expensive, plus I have to pay for the shippage + the $$$ for the customs, + the taxes... It will be close to 550$ at the end... I'll just dream about it right now...

For a 240Z 1972. Thanks.

Everywhere I stop, people ask question about the car, what year is the and start talking about the Z, that it was their first car, how it handles better than the US muscle cars, and how cheap it was on gas, how they were driving the car 100 miles /hour, and bla bla bla!!! I onw a piece of automotive history and I'M PROUD OF IT! LONG LIVE THE ZED!!!!:sleepy: HEY, IT,S MY LUCKY DAY, LOOK AT MY NUMBER OF POST!!!!! 240!!!!!

Oups, I forgot this one also.. http://www.zbarn.com/other%20Web%20stuff/Catalog%20Pages/Z%20used%20body.htm

U might want to try with Charlie Osborne, he's in Ontario, Canada. http://www.datsunzparts.ca/bodyparts.htm Good luck!

What a difference... Oh boy oh boy.. I'm not driving the same ZED!!! It is so sticky....The car is glued to the road, it's so much fun!!!!!!! I did put 195/60/14. Et non, the price is super right. I paid 69$CND, installation, balancing and taxes included per tire, total 371$CND (you do the equivalent for the US$$$$!!!!). They even gave me 60$ for the old merde tires!!!! Guy is a happy GUY!!! :geek: :classic: :classic:

Here I go... Out the PNEUS MERDIQUES that were on my car. here comes the new Falken Azenis... Can't wait to try them and exploit the suspension on my car!!!!! http://www.vulcantire.com/azenis_t.htm

Well, have a look for yourself!!!! http://penvose.net/~theblue/video/Darius-240Z-R1.mpeg :stupid:

Queen??? Which queen????

Hey, come on, guys, everyone knows that the letter Z is pronounced ZED in FRENCH... Well, almost everyone!!!!

Well, then, I better stick with tthe OEM engine anyway and fine tune it!!! Thanks. :dead:

I can have an engine for 500$US (800$CND). Is it hard to do the swap??? I guesse all have to be rewired. Clutch needs to ba changed also. Can I keep the 4 speed tranny? Here is what the ad says: Complete mechanic from a 300z turbo 84, 100 000km (roughly 60 000miles, all the wires, ECU, Fuel injectors, etc. all changed by the dealer. Wat da ya think???

For those who have not seen it yet, there you go. http://members.shaw.ca/DasGTP/Datsun%20240%20Z.WMV But I knw there was another with tthe same car, and he was running against a Kawa 900 at a light I think.. Anyone have this video also??? Merci!:classic: :beard:

Or what about: BORN TO BE ZED Like BORN TO BE WILD ?

What my signature????

Well, be careful, don't drink and drive...your ZED.....and take care of yourself and the Z obviously!!!
