Hey everyone, just finishing up odds and ends on my new Z, and the pump for the windshield washer fluid is dead. The bottle is fine, so is the rubber (I checked the circuit already, and it's fine, too). Does anyone have one lying around that you would be interested in selling? My local auto shops only have generic ones, and the closest I found is a generic bottle, including the tank, at Black Dragon. I'd prefer to keep the original tank if possible...and thought maybe I'd get luck if I posted something here. If you have one, you can reply or simply PM me. Thanks in advance! :-D

This past Friday, I was cut-off by another driver and rear-ended a mini-van. No serious human injuries, but my beloved 71 240 was trashed. I hit the right rear of the van with my left front. Since it has been 21 yrs. since it's restoration, and I now have some medical problems that would limit my ability to do the work on the car that I used to; I am posting pics of the damage and some details that are not apparent in the photos; with the question; can this car be restored, or should I total it and try to sell off the remaining good parts? The left frame rail is mangled, the radiator support as well. The left front inner fender is trash, as well as the left door.

Good morning, everyone! For anyone who remembers, back in March I purchased a 1972 Datsun 240Z, and it was destroyed in a horrific shipping accident (it hadn't been strapped down) 10 miles from where it had lived for 37 years. I was devastated--and so was the seller, whom I met here. So, I took the last few months and did some more searching, salvaged what parts I could from the '72, and finally, just this week, found a new dream! It's a 1971 Datsun 240Z, Series I. It had been a project car of the owner for 13 years, during which time he replaced, upgraded, painted, cleaned, and perfected it. I've even got all the receipts! When I discovered it on our local Z-car FB pag…

200 miles of 500 so far. There's a tiger in my tank I just have to figure on how to get him out. Every 50 or so miles I'm gaining 400 rpm's. It's loosening up quick. Temp is to the left of the "F" finally. 3k rpm = 80mph with stock tires and wheels. Couldn't have done it without you guys. Thank You.

I'm having some trouble locating the magazines that did a test-drive of the 1978 280Z. I know the 280Z came out in 1975, but I'm interested in test-drives of the model I have. I think Road & Track did one, but which others? thxZ

Does anyone have a detailed description or drawing of the assembly order for the 280Z horns? I would like to completely disassemble, clean, and repaint them.

I was wondering what the difference was between strut bars versus sway bars? Could I put both on? Or are they the same thing? Would it be practical to put them both? Thanks.

I checked the archives but did not see the needed info.....Yes my z is a FrankyZvette but a Z no less. I just replaced the A/C compressor, it is a Sanden 508 type unit/very generic, my question is , the shop that did the recharging only put 1.5 lb of the proper freon, the evacuated the system and because there are no specs on the unit they only fill to 1.5 lb , it works but the old noisy unit felt a lot colder, any ideas to make it ice cold :disappoin

I sent an email to Antennamastsrus.com to inquire if they had a source for a replacement mast, knowing that they probably wouldn't. I have exchanged emails with them and they are interested in making a replacent mast. Mine is in very good condition except the plastic cable is broken, and they need a good donor. They said it may take up to 6 months and I would not get my mast back, but they would give me a couple of replacements. Should I risk it? Has anyone ever dealt with this company? I sent decals to Banzai for him to reproduce and never had any problems. Should I risk one for the team?? ernest
