You know that Nissan makes them again? just look up the part number and Nissan will deliver a new one.. Most times the tank WILL leak at the inlet as the hard hose is not gonna fit leakfree... 1 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/63087-restoration-of-bringatrailer-240z-hls30-35883/?page=55#findComment-661082 Share on other sites More sharing options...
inline6 Posted January 15, 2024 Author Share #650 Posted January 15, 2024 I saw, yes. Yet another $120 I would have to spend. Perhaps it was a poor decision, but I thought about it for sure, and decided against it. That is an Interesting point about sealing. I'll need to heat the hose again for sure to get the gas tank installed. I'll investigate what is available to assist with sealing at that connection.

Patcon Posted January 16, 2024 Share #658 Posted January 16, 2024 (edited) They're proud of that. I googled the part number for the 280z and found sources claiming they were in stock for about $95. I didn't check the 240 part number Just checked that part number. Pretty much everybody I saw was cheaper than $308 Courtesy was $254 Amazon was $220 Plenty on ebay from $150- 170 Edited January 16, 2024 by Patcon Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/63087-restoration-of-bringatrailer-240z-hls30-35883/?page=55#findComment-661103 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post inline6 Posted January 16, 2024 Author Popular Post Share #659 Posted January 16, 2024 I had today off from work, so I continued on the car. I received this today: I came across the thread that @SteveJ posted about these. When I looked up the price, I couldn't believe how cheap they were. $16.92... plus $14.50 in shipping. So, I opted to buy these Koito H4 units for this car, and I will put the Hella ones on my track day 240z. The side profile is a bit different - it sticks out from the headlight housing, and is not my preference vs. the sealed beams, but the light on the road will be much better. Then I started on redoing the quarter windows. Some of the NOS parts that came with the car included these: After careful disassembly, I noted some of these details. A bead of sealant was put along the outside edge of the channel. Also, you can see some of the black paint that was brushed on by the factory worker. This is more evidence that the quarter windows were in place on this car when that person came along with their brush. 🙂 Also, the little corner piece had a lot of window sealant on it, presumably to help lock it in and keep it from moving. The back, upper corners have extra rubber layers which build out that corner a bit. Without them, the sealing in that corner is not sufficient when the window is installed. Pictured is only one of them. Showing some light scratches and the original finish on the stainless outside surface. Also, the edge facing the back of the door is not stainless and is painted semi-gloss black. Masking for glass bead blasting in the cabinet. A close up of the rubber pad in the upper corner, and one glass, cleaned and ready to install. My very old windshield adhesive hardened inside the unopened tube, so I ordered another today, and set the quarter window project aside. Then I installed the Suspension Techniques rear anti-roll bar. Interestingly, I had to open up the holes a touch which mount the bar to the vertical hangers. The bolts would not fit through otherwise. So, a decent amount done today. 5 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/63087-restoration-of-bringatrailer-240z-hls30-35883/?page=55#findComment-661104 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the fillerneck was/is available at Nissan dealer.. Also on our marketplace Last year, i could buy 3 for 225 euro a piece (I guess they came strait from the usa and shipping and taxes made them expensive) As i don't need one yet.. i didn't buy any.. But i know that my fillerneck does leak a bit when i fill the car to far up.. Oh well it needs a restore anyway.. some day.. Question.. if a 280z fillerneckis 95 bucks.. does that one fit a 240/260? Or can we easely make it fit? Maybe someone has pics of these different necks?
