Wow, great story. Keep us in your loop One thing I noticed in particular - the dash. No cracks. Aftermarket replacement?

Thanks for the background information Namerow. I happened into the TV room (watch very little myself) when this ad came on and my wife asked "isn't that your car?", that being the 240. And thanks for the link Cheers, Richard

I see Hagerty Insurance is featuring the 240z - along with another old Japanese sports car we won't mention - on its latest on-line ad. Also, it only ran for a couple of days (mind you I don't watch that much TV so I might have missed some) but Nissan had an ad featuring a full fleet of Z cars on a car-carrier semi, driving through the mountains. Front and centre, high above the tractor unit, was a yellow 240. At the back, the loading ramps were lowered while the rig was still in motion, just to let the latest model join the ride. Neat. I don't remember any car maker featuring a 50+ year old model in their ads. Cheers All Richard McDonel

Thanks for the update. I learn something new every time I comment on this site. Cheers

Thanks Jim, In that case I have two N 42s for sale. Cheers,

Probably a pretty elementary question for this learned forum, but for my 240Z, HLS3028726, which is the correct cylinder head , N42 or E31? I have two of the former and one of the latter. Many thanks, Richard

Thanks for the tip. That's the one I'll go with. Richard McDonel

It's been a dozen or so years since new, but whatever glue I used on the rear hatch weatherstrip of my 240 is failing. Looks like I didn't miss any areas, but the rubber is just coming a adrift. The original stuff on my '78 Mercedes and day-to-day 2006 GMC are still looking good. Any recommendations as to which adhesives to use, and which to avoid? Thanks, as always

Thanks for sharing! I don't watch much TV, so when Diane told me there was a Nissan ad with what looked like a yellow version of my 240, I had to check. Cool ad, although there will be those among us who find the rubber-burning, wheel-spinning parts to be "deeply offensive," to which I say, "suck it up baby sisters."

Well done Ken. Perseverance par excellence! Dashboards are not fund to work on.

Jim, I didn't even know 240s were supposed to have carpet clips! Hold them for me for my next trip to Calgary? d*** McDonel
