[SOLD] 1973 Datsun 240Z Scarab
A Scarab is a very unique car. They tend to be very rare and one in great shape could bring this kind of money. Early year 240z's are bringing this kind of money and more if they are the right car in the right place...

Ignition help needed on '78 280z
I was posing the question in general. I don't know the EFI cars that well. I will have to defer to some of the other guys.

Yup!

Ignition help needed on '78 280z
Would jumping from the fuse box to the battery fry anything? ECU, relays, injectors?

Wiring Path for Electric Fuel Pump
Fuel pressure has nothing to do with this! The settings in the float bowls, tuning, carb balance do, not fuel pressure... Mark beat me to it...

Looking for opinion on a body.
The parts for 510's make finding 240z parts, look easy in comparison. You could buy a complete car for not a lot of money more and be way better off! In my opinion the body with no suspension or drive train is worth a couple hundred bucks. Bare 240z shells bring about what this sellers is asking but the finished Z is worth significantly more when finished than a 510...

72 240z distributor question
Do you realize there are two slots? There is one with the bolt on top and one with a bolt on the bottom... Had to pick up "Captain Obvious's" slack...

Doh! Dropped my need valve washer ?
I would think any washer would work. Take the one off the other carb, with out dropping it, and match it up at the auto parts store

1972 Float Adjustment ...
I do not understand why you obsess over this fuel pressure. IT IS NOT THE ISSUE! I have been working on cars for close to 40 years. The issue is in the carb tuning somewhere

Caswell Plating
Haven't done any more on the barrel for now...need a PS first I just ordered the "Monster" Looked at a bunch of power supplies and just decided I would try this one. The wires are gonna add to your plating area. You will have to include them in your calculation. They will also increase your plate useage

Home Built Z 'Full video build'
I thought you might be when I saw your pants with the reflective strips. By the way Jeff, love the new bug. I have a "one owner" 56 bug my dag bought new in Germany waiting for it's turn. Next in line after the Z currently on the rotisserie...

It looks like a North American site, but what is the currency? Edit: SA Rand; I wonder what freight would run you? Seems like it would be really high. Could just buy a few chemicals and be good to go...

2018 ZCON Information
As an FYI Cody will be 18 yo by Zcon 18 can I register him as a child? Does that affect his making laps? I don't think he would autocross but might like to make laps at the track day in a controlled environment.

2018 ZCON Information
If we get it properly sorted he would probably love to make laps in the 510... I thought I might register the 510 and hopefully the 240 if I can get it running by then. Might register the 350Z too. That would be my three cars. Signing his life away is not an issue as we have had to do that multiple times in the past. He would love brewery night but that might be frowned upon... So even as a guest or a child registrant they still can participate in all the activities. Any limitations to that, that you know of?

2018 ZCON Information
Steve, I had some questions and I was gonna PM but I decided a public inquisition might be better. Ok, so if I register as the main registrant what is the drawback of registering Shelley as my guest registrant? Cody would like to come too. If I register him as a child will he be able to participate in all the events. Any limitations on that?

240z D Hubcap differences
They don't! They have algorithms that do it and build a profile on you. I bet your FBI file would be lots of fun to read!!!!
