I have recently got a 72 240z stripped down. I was interested in building a rotisserie unit to mount the car on while i do some restoration work. I have heard all you have to do is get 2 engine stands and build a jig to connect to the bumper mounts? Is this all there is to it? Has anyone done this and can give me some pointers on what to do? mabey some places on where to get the parts for this? Thanks.

Has anyone ever tried to do away with the air pump, check valve, control valve, A-B valve and servo diaphragm in relation to the exhaust system? As I see it these components allow fresh air to be dumped into the exhaust manifold to burn the exhaust gas.

Is there an initial setting that the Carburetor Idle Adjust Screw should be set at prior to balancing the carburetors? I'm not refering to the fast idle screw, but the individual carburetor idle screws.

Hi! I´ve been informed of a 74 Z for sale, 300km (186miles) away from my house. The car as far as i know is in bad conditions - abandoned - has documents and the engine runs. So i think that he probably doesn´t have a paint at all, lot´s of rust, some mechanical problems and a few parts missing, and i have to pay for a transport. Besides i´m starting a project to restore a full rust car (other model). So you ask: "And why the hell are you going to see the car?!!" Answer: I love the Z; Only 120 where imported to Portugal (30 years ago, 280 or 260 don´t exist); The owner wants 500 Euros (+/- 450 US dollars). What do you think? Is it worth it in a long term project?…

Could someone tell me what the difference is between the three screw and the four screw SU carbs in reference to the carb piston housing? Is one better than the other?

Can anyone tell me what to treat chrome with before painting it black? Specifically window trim. I like the way black trim looks and I want to do it on my Z. Will the same apply to chrome on bumpers/ Thanks, Zlish

I'm wondering if there's an opinion out there concerning who the best z mechanic would be in the D/FW area. My '71 looks pretty good, but needs some work that I'm not enough of an expert to do myself. It needs: new clutch, brake job, struts, new header gasket and muffler recconect of tachometer proper tune Alot of work for the right guy! Thanks!

Last week I ordered Wick Humble's "How to Restore Your Datsun Z Car" from Amazon.com and got a message today that they are not able to get this book anymore. Does anyone out there know of a source for this book? Thanks, RandyC

I have a '73 240z that I bought new. I love this car but it has been sitting for several years now. I know this is a mortal sin but time and money (and some laziness :sleep: ) has let it collect dust. I want to restore it but I am not sure where to start. Body is basically good (some rear quarter damage due to uninsured motorist) engine quit running, not sure why but it did run. Interior needs work, seats are dry rotted, dash cracked. In short it needs work. I would like to do it right. Do I: A. Restore it to original condition, color and such. Yes, I kept all the original parts including the hub caps. B. Restore it as is with air dam, spoiler, and keep the existing color…

I've got a general question that may seem kind of dumb but in looking at the many z pictures posted on the web I can't recall a single one having window tinting on them. I have a stratus that I had the windows tinted on and I can't image a ride without tinting now. It helps with the interior and I kind of like the look. Is this taboo to do to a z?
