240z Complete Replacement Shell - The Ultimate Rust Repair Panel
Hopefully it fit's better than the doors I got from resurrected classics but I would be super dubious if all the attachment points are in the correct position. On the doors I got the manufacturer was relying on the stamped dimples to drill and then weld the nuts on. There was no way a drilling/welding jig was used because of the variances from door to door. It seems overseas countries have figured out cheap stamping but not cheap assembly.

240s showing up
It's a remarkable bit of production. Kudo's to Nissan Canada for financing the project, and to the Canadian ad agency for designing and realizing a killer advert that properly and expertly recognizes the significance of the Z's role in creating Nissan's worldwide market presence (notwithstanding Nissan's Japan's efforts throughout the 1970's and 1980's to throw it all away). Additional kudos to Nissan Canada for providing its corporate facilities in Mississauga, Ontario as the venue for the annual show-and-shine meeting hosted b y the Ontario Z-Car Association (look it up). I'm really proud of Canada's (continuing) role in supporting the Z legacy. Here on CZCC, I would draw your attention to the importance of our Canadian members in making this site such a valuable Z resource. Amongst others, they are 240/260/280Z (arguably the dean of Z restoration articles), along with Grannyknot, CanTechZ, and Wheee (three of the best restoration build contributors that this site has ever enjoyed). I should also mention that, for years (dating back to 1994), Charlie Osborne at Zedd Findings in Kingston, Ontario, was the only source worldwide for decent replacement Z floor panels. We hear a lot from America, Japan, England, and Europe in the Z historical narrative, but my country -- Canada -- quietly punches way above its weight in supporting the Z legacy.

Still struggling with car at idle after 8 years
Car is running a little bit better now with the MSD Blaster 2 coil maybe its masking the problem only. Still testing the car. I did noticed the mechanic adjusted the carbs as follows: 4 turns down each carb, 7 at idle screw for front carburetor and 10 at idle screw for rear carburetor. The fast idle screw when raised to 2500 rpm gave different measures on front and rear carburetors.

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, RichardYarb started following 240z Complete Replacement Shell - The Ultimate Rust Repair Panel- 240z Complete Replacement Shell - The Ultimate Rust Repair Panel

@One4One I may have something, but I agree with Jim, make a wanted post. There are a few different harnesses for the 73.Namerow started following 240z Complete Replacement Shell - The Ultimate Rust Repair Panel and 240s showing up- 240s showing up
The ad was produced for Nissan Canada to celebrate the 60th anniversary of their entry into the Canadian automotive market. Stunt driving was performed by Kiwi rallycross driver Rhys Millen (son of Rod, nephew of Steve), using the airport at Lillooet, British Columbia for an action shot that was then blended into the primary road footage (shot on a nearby highway). There's a short feature on the video shoot available on Facebook... https://www.facebook.com/nissancanada/videos/781763657583093/ The actual video can be found on the landing page of Nissan Canada's consumer website... www.nissan.ca (scroll down on the landing page to find the video). I don't think it's available on YouTube yet. Nissan Canada's corporate media website has some nice feature articles and photos built around the 60th anniversary celebration...

Fascinating. I wonder if it's real.- Parts for Sale: 1973 240Z Combo Light Switch
I do not have the harness you are looking for. You would be better served by creating a item-specific Want to Buy advert in the Electrical forum, you will get far better exposure to your specific need. Also, it is strongly recommended that you NOT include contact info in your posts. There are bots that will sweep up this info and use it for malicious purposes. I suggest you edit your post to remove the phone number. Good luck with your search and your project.Yarb started following Parts for Sale: 1973 240Z Combo Light Switch- Parts for Sale: 1973 240Z Combo Light Switch

I see that you have had a lot of 1973 240Z parts for sale that you have removed from a parts donor car and refurbished. I'm looking for a 1973 240Z engine wiring harness complete because we had a battery tip over and arc out melting the wires in the engine bay harness and in the dash harness. We have already obtained and installed a dash harness but still need the engine bay harness with the proper connectors to the interior/dash harness. Thank you.- 240z Complete Replacement Shell - The Ultimate Rust Repair Panel

How much are you asking for the parts car, and/or is it still available to bring a trailer and load it up? My name is TJ and I live in Washington state.- How hard is it to rebuild a 72 240z brake booster?
While I do have the special tool to open the booster, I also used Powerbrakeexchange. I live in WA and just dropped it off there. Traded in some of my cores for a discount as well. Call and ask then if he still has my cores, he can rebuild that and would likely just charge more for you not sending in a core. If that works for you.- 72 240Z Disassembled Project, ~95% Complete, Parts Boxed

The link works. Not obvious how to get in to the pictures though. Clcik on the Google Drive link, a new page will open > double click on a folder name > double click on the first picture > then you can scroll through all of the pictures in the folder using the arrows on the sides. It's pretty well deconstructed. A box truck would probably be best for transport, or a trailer with room for parts.- 72 240Z Disassembled Project, ~95% Complete, Parts Boxed

Belmetric and Bolt Depot are my go-to vendors if the local Ace Hardware, Lowe's or Home Despot fail me. As for color, I have a complete collection of black spray paint cans in various states of gloss 😁- Last week
- Service manual wiring diagram converted to Microsoft Visio -- in work.
Many years ago I started converting the wiring diagram from the service manual into something I could actually read with color coded lines. I scanned the original and then placed it behind the drawing and that is what you see in the pic. If someone would like to pick up where I left off I will send the Visio drawing. If you want to monetize it I would like some compensation. It is probably 90% or more complete but it was sideline project while I was working and I have no time to finish it. If someone thinks the non-complete version is useful I can post it as a .pdf without the original scan in the background.
