Terrapin Z

My friend has the trim, he wants $200.00 for the full set. About par with most 240 trim I see on eBay. He is not very far from me. Shipping will be interesting, kind of a wide flat box. I'm sure they would call oversize. Let me know if you are interested. You might want to find something more local.

I have a bunch of Z stainless if that will work for you. I might have a source for 510 stainless I can check with if needed.

I saw the Facebook post just now too. $200k seems a bit high IMO, and of course you will be getting bashed on that medium. Again good luck. Glad I got my car when I did. At todays prices I stole it.

Nice looking car, It appears the bidders were looking for your reserve. Good luck with the sale.

Glad to hear it all went well and you were able to get working brakes. I'm near Portland so I will be using their services as well in the future.

Cool I've used them for a few things.

These are only $9 (plus some shipping I expect) https://www.240zrubberparts.com/apps/webstore/products/show/5507031

I picked this up at a swap meet a while back. It is missing the top nut though. I have since found an original bullet tip that works so I would sell this if you're interested.

I'm no expert on distributors, but I think that is a euro distributor and may have a different advance curve. I found this old post about that very dizzy. I also found this chart showing the advance differences. Maybe someone here can explain what the different curves will ultimate mean for your set up. Just to add to your frustration 🥴 I hope it works for you.

I grounded mine to the screw that holds the condenser, over to a coil mount bolt. Then a bigger wire from the coil mount bolt to the battery directly. The points ground from the advance plate to the body through the internal wire. Also look for cracks in the plastic isolation pieces as they can short out too.

When I bought '70 my car the PO had a B 4sp and 4:11. He auto-crossed it a little, and liked the quick off the line zip. Horrible for the highway though. I found a 3:54 from the automatic cars and that worked pretty well It just screamed a little still on the 70-80 mph highway runs. I then found an 83ZX 5 speed and used a calculator like you have here. I ended up with a 3:70 R180 open diff from a Maxima. That worked out really well for my driving style.

I do have some stock Nissan injectors, if you want to go that route, just let me know.

Those don't look right. The valve cover should have all flange bolts, not separate lock and flat washers.

22611-P8600 does show up on my parts manual as a euro part. 79-81 280ZX (I think the P8601 was a superseded update) If you google 22611-P8601it comes back with a bunch of .dk and .uk websites.

I found this list online where all the 280's are the same except the A/T. Then you can see all the different ones for the ZX.

On my MacBook I click on the picture once and it makes it bigger, then clicking on it again makes it full size, then i snip. No zoom on my resolution. I did not save to my computer either.

For those who need to read the number lol

Number 6 looks like a home made piece of cut out metal.

A post was just put on FB with some early 71 parts, and he had a jack. I had him take a pic of the stamp and it was UAB (Jan 2 1975) PM sent with pic's of some parts for your review.

I have some of these items, I will get some pic's and PM you.

If the Zcon beverage budget does not work out either I should have a set as well.

I had to go back down to Vancouver today and pick up the 280 shell. I have not made any arrangements to go look at them. If I read the ad right the real estate lady and son bought them from a hoarder house with the intension of building one from two. but the son has lost interest. Eve did send me more pic's after she finally agreed they were not in the CL ad. (now it looks like she loaded 10 pic's in the ad.) Pretty rusty and banged up. missing some pieces that let lots of WA rain in. I asked if she would sell the green one solo, but no. I think I would only be in it for parts cars, and it would have to be cheap......

I know right..... I emailed them, it is a real estate agent, and rather rude. I asked for more pictures and they reply was "I posted a lot of pictures" There is only one in the CL ad. After that crickets....... Hi, my name is Dave and I have a Z problem.........🧰🛠️🔩⚙️

I'll have to look into that. I haven't really sorted them all out. If I have all they styles I will make that effort. Thanks for the suggestion.

Two more popped up in Seattle area (Kent) 2 for $2k https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/pts/d/kent-datsun-240zs/7285722787.html
