Terrapin Z

I have a number of fenders, most have some rust issues down near the bottom mount by the dog leg. If you only need a front top half I should be able to help. Shipping is farther from me than Jim2^^, so if he has one that would be less expensive to ship. If not then let me know and I will provide pic's and info.

In my experience the spring missing usually means the pivot joint is no longer functioning properly. So you might need the pivot parts too. They end up going past the lock point and folding backward with the spring pressure. Then you can't close the door. Nissans answer was to charge the mechanism and use a tighter spring. That is why you see a lot of later hinges on the drivers door and this style on the passenger door.

I screwed that one up, it is a BW T5 in the pic above. Same type of shifter plate. Here is the 71C....

82 and 83 are the same, 79-81 were more like the earlier 280Z optional 5 speed. Different gearing. The C looks very different around the shifter and has a lot more strength ribs on it. See pic from eBay. The one above^^ looks like an 82-83 version.

I would think it is to protect the tank from ripping open on that big bolt in a rear end collision. On the side where the tank is taller.

I have a "B" 4sp that could be used for parts. I have yet to open it so I would be in new territory. Car was in flood waters so...???? who knows.

Nice looking project 72 240Z auto, looks like good bones and a low starting price. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1972-datsun-240z-220/

Hopefully yes, as it look like they are back with a vengance.

I was bombarded with the Spam ads as well, I reported a couple of them and it appears Mike has them banned for the moment.

Please note this thread is 7 years old. 🙃

That side hooks up to the emissions components that normally sit on top of the balance tube where the bolts are not holding anything. Most have been removed long ago.

240's were metal, 280 went to plastic. I would not recommend putting them in the oven. I am not sure about reproductions, I seem to remember a FB ad for some made of metal but shady looking outfit and expensive. They come up on eBay from time to time.

I'm coming up with about 5" diameter clamped. The side to side is 1" and the up/down is 1.75" Here are pics of the resistor too..... If you can find a pic of what you need for the linkage I can look for that too. I will PM a price based on what I'm shipping (weight and size)

I have this canister bracket off my 82 ZX, funny the part numbers I looked up was a 14915-N3600 for ->78 and then the 82ZX was a 14951-N3600 They look the same, so I am thinking one is a typo. The canisters look the same, they just mount them in different spots. I have 4 wire (4 pin) and a 5 wire (6 pin connector) resistors. Untested but look intact. If you're interested....

I should have the clamp and possibly the resistor. I'll check and let you know tonight.

Push in and turn counterclockwise 1/4 turn after the natural rotation stops. Reverse to install. Looks like this.....

More pace car action.....

Ha, I have enough motors, 2 F54's a few N42's and a bunch of 240's I usually get them in the cars, but I did buy one outright. A 240 with an auto trans on it for $30 The carbs on there look 3 screw? with 73-74 manifold, but they are sold separate.

I am no expert on this at all, but I remember seeing a post about parts of the front of the radiator core are black in some areas. Might only be on early cars. Something like this pic I stole from the web.

You are correct, I did not see the model listed in the signature line. Moot point, question answered.

I think the discussion is about this cluster of connectors, correct?

I've not used either so I really can't say for sure, but my guess would be probably not. The sizing might be a little different.

The hinge on my parts car 280 is broken. There is a seller on eBay that offers a kit. They seem to be popular. I have seen him on FB too. The eBay link is strange but here is a clip of the item. Just search for the description.

That is just the start, as with the case of this OP took the next step and sent money for the parts only to have the person not answer back and no parts shipped. I know we all started at one point with no post and no feedback, you have to build a reputation of be an honest seller, If you just start scamming people, you'll be called out (like this thread). Then you change you name and start over.
