Oh, get used to that phrase, "Buy something else yet again" haha The later seats will work in the early cars, but you will have to swap out the sliders.

I must not have used enough tape on the box if the squirrel was able to get out. 😂😂. Glad to hear it made it there safely and you are happy with it. It did look to be in decent serviceable condition. I have worked in Shipping and Receiving for many years and understand packing makes a big difference. I have gotten so many things from eBay and FB that are packed so poorly. I am amazed they weren't just a bunch of pieces in the bottom of the box. Being I work in a large warehouse I have access to a multitude of boxes and packing for free, I know those items can be costly to buy. I'd be interested in hearing back on how the rebuild went, Rob. I am considering this Booster upgrade on my next project / build as well. That is a long ways off still. Just gathering info and a few parts here and there. I did also receive the trade item in the mail the other day but have not really looked at it much other than a once over. I have been on vacation this week and spent a lot of time reorganizing my parts hoard. Plus I tucked my car away for the winter. TZ

Second to reverse usually works well. With it turning would be the best, but as you mentioned it was still in the car so that won't be an option. $100 is a good price. Pick and Pull is $105.00 when they have one but wants a core. I got mine at another yard for $85.00 + core I gave them an old automatic.

Rich, I have this in tan, looks to be in decent shape with no rips just the screw holes from the top trim. From a 73.

I wasn't sure what you were talking about when you said make one out of two, but there it is. I'll have this one out tomorrow, should only be a couple of days to get to you.

The mechanisms were basically the same up to the 77 as Zed Head stated. They did change the spring parts yours show to have the later "clock" type spring where as the early latch had straight spring that wrapped around a cam. These were prone to breaking so the clock spring took its place. The little plastic bits where the rods attach do crumble and fall apart. That can cause the rods to pop out. To remove from the mechanism pop the rod out first then a gentle squeeze with some needle nose to release the tangs. The pivot cam parts had two sizes the 240 and then the 280 was different (larger i think). There is a plastic stepped collar that fits in the hole The bolt has a step too so as not to crush the plastic and then a staked lock nut to hold it all without too much pressure.

Paint it silver and it is worth $1200.00. I do hope I don't call anybody on this forum out, but this is bad. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1974-240Z-5-speed-manual-transmission/264751936859?hash=item3da471f55b%3Ag%3A1tYAAOSwZtVe1x60&LH_ItemCondition=4

The ones I have seen mounted there are more shaped like the horn relay long and skinny, not square like this one. It also had a short pig tail on it rather than the plug right on type like this one. I too was under the impression it was for the auto metic transmission models, possibly to do with the duel points. That relay looks like the one from under the dash on my ZX (pic) May have been changed out at some point?

Looks like there is a new club starting for parts offered at $1000. Looks like I need to list a few things. 🤪

Yeah, seems I remember something about not having to drill new mount holes on the 79-81. Bolt pattern was bigger on 82-83.

Posted and sold within an hour on OfferUp. Just missed it. No idea how much it went for. listed of $1.00 The seller only posted this "Dad passed away just getting feels make me an offer" I expect someone got a great deal. Near Tacoma WA.

82 won't work? I seem to remember something said about the bolt pattern. Not sure though.

Exactly, just like the stylus on a record player. My co worker and I were discussing whether or not it played while driving. We were thinking it would have skipped as well. I found a few on eBay but nobody opened it up. It just has three screws on the record side and 4 on the PCB side.

Doh!!! Of course you would want to see the inside. Silly me, yes it looks like a small record player inside there. Lots of pins in the plug for all the different input signals to tell it which track to play. "ding" " You forgot to load the pictures" "ding" Ha ha

Betty box from my 82ZX parts car.

The ad does say clean title.

The other end of the spectrum, called a 1970 but looks like an early 71 hard to say. Only $3500.00 In Lynnwood WA https://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/cto/d/lynnwood/7229913576.html 1970 240Z ALL ORIGINAL, un molested, numbers matching. Car has been sitting for 25 years. Currently does not run, turns over and was running when parked. Car is 100% complete. Needs driver and passenger floor pans. Needs work but car is not to far gone. Has new battery, plugs and wires. Radiator has been flushed. Comes with a box of extra parts. Too much detail to list, serious inquires only!

"Sold" again for $7650.00 this time around.

At first try the HTTPS did not work, which I thought was strange. After reading everyone else was working. I tried the HTTP and that worked. I decided to clear my history, then google ZHome and use the same link I had issues with before (HTTPS) and it worked this time. Links in the right panel open in the left panel, as it had in the past for both HTTP and HTTPS. Nice job getting that fixed Carl, Thank you. Your site has valuable information for everything Z

Well it supposedly sold for $9999.99, but now it is back up for sale starting at $4800.00 and has 3 bids to bring it to $5250.00 currently. I guess the seller did not care for the buyer or the back up bidders. Perhaps it is a scam. Who knows. The sellers remark : This has been relisted because of some jerk that thinks it's funny to bid up an auction and not have any intention of paying. Probably the Facebook peeps???......😛 Normally you can offer it to the back up bidder, but I guess that was a no go either. The second highest bid was $9999.00

Ha ha, we should have put together some kind of parts swap. These are three of the shield I have loose. I am not sure which one you are looking for. The small one looks like it bolts to the bottom of the EFI manifold. It is in the parts schematic #11 I think it was a shield for the AFM. I thought the bigger curved one went around the Master cylinder. I'm not real sure about the square one. I could not find either of these in the car parts manual on line. Let me know if any of these are the ones you are looking for.

I am pretty sure I have one available, I picked up some 280Z parts a while back. I will confirm this afternoon when I am home from work.

I search eBay a lot too, and see many overpriced items, as well as some deals. I have not seen anything like this before. Where everything is the same price. If you look at their sold list it is all normal pricing. I know these "store" sellers upload and relist items in bulk. I thought the uploaded might have somehow set the price the same on everything. I do find your money laundering theory interesting and quite plausible in the online auction setting. I do find it strange how the same items are in the sold list, as well as the new list when it is a single used part.

I know the price of parts has been going up recently on these cars but $1000 for a fuel filer or an oil filter, single spark plugs, alternators, Etc. These guys are out for bank. https://www.ebay.com/sch/123autoparts-1/m.html?item=402529327836&fits=Make%3ADatsun&hash=item5db89e1adc%3Ag%3ADLoAAOSwyjZfoKgb&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562 At least most are free shipping. lol I went through many pages of their 396K parts for sale and they are all $1000 BIN. 98.5% positive I know it is probably a glitch, just funny to me.
