Bueller? Bueller? Bueller? I'm gonna guess this won't hold. $310K, no way.

it's going over $200K!!!!

Isn't he the one that bought the Franklin Mint Z? Lives in Atlanta?

Could someone tell me what went in this threaded hole? I don't remember anything up top but it could have been the York's evaporator that was in front of the radiator. Thanks for any replies. Cliff

My bad, I told you wrong. It's S key then right click at the same time. Sorry about that but here's what I see. $21,000 car. Lot #14360Seller: gnovmarketingLocation: Fountain Valley, California 92708 https://thebidwatcher.com/auctions/view/92368 https://bangshift.com/general-news/bangshift-question-of-the-day/would-you-rather-datsun-s30-z-car-do-you-like-yours-original-or-extra-spicy/ After googling gnov marketing I found this. Too much bull**it if your having to ask all these questions, like @wheee! said earlier RUN AWAY imho. https://www.bbb.org/us/ca/fountain-valley/profile/online-retailer/gizmo-supply-co-1126-172017668

To prove the car was mine and in my possession I took a photo of the vin. above the brake booster with that days date. Sold the car, way too cheap! Now I wish he didn't believe me.

Try a backwards image search and see where all it pops up. That's how I found the scammers that were going to sale my 240 I had listed on craigslist. Arrow on the image, S key and CTRL at the same time. Works on Chrome, unfortunately I'm using my phone.

@CanTechZ found about the closest paint I've seen for the hubcaps and the rear finisher panel. Much easier than the paint match in the "how to restore 240Z" book.

Okay, took a few minutes to find it but I did. Here's my original early '72, s/n 69,???. As @dutchzcarguy it's vinyl with a leather boot lace to tie it together up top. found an interior...

The plate on front of the head? That's for inspecting the timing chain I've always thought. Gasket paper would be sufficient for it too, there's no pressure behind it

Sorry gnosez, I don't know squat about frame rails. I thought they were unibody cars without a frame.

Looks good! Welcome to Z life. Silver with burgundy? One of my favorite combos.

70 and early 71 are D. The rest up until 77 had Zs. Iirc The ones referred to as series 1. The 69 was D I suppose. I'm not familiar with the early cars.

@Av8ferg

That's a nice car and should go quick. Very original it looks to me. Our's are similar. Mine had those bumpers too, they hang from the rafters now though.

Loosen the dizzy and have someone crank over the motor while you rotate the dizzy. Left or right turning should try starting easier. Your spindle is not too far off imho. Good luck!

Let me play! If idle adjustment does nothing I'd say you have a vacuum leak. Borrow a gauge from a local parts chain and tell us the numbers. https://images.app.goo.gl/Y2DgmnNPhL95LTdg8

I'm with Pilgram! Those cheap arse studs from msa are paperweights. Split washers on the manifold are a joke IMHO. I'll post the Nissan p/n that I bought. Google "out of round nuts" or "squash nuts". You don't want lock washers, they loosen up after the heat and cooling down cycle. My .$02

I have the MSA coated header, 2.5" full exhaust on my 280 and 240. 280 had a slight leak and needed a resonator, now it sounds great. 2.4 motor sealed great. I love the sound of the smaller motor, no resonator. Very "raspy" sound. MSA sends their headers to be coated. The coating company sends them back in a single box, seems like it's close by? but then MSA was sending them across the country in the same box. We brought this up and the problem was recognized and then corrected. Here's the coating company in Santa Anna, CA. http://www.embeeperformance.com/ MSA is located in Orange County, CA. too. They wrap the $^!# out of them now FYI. Here's what I received and sorta of started the whole thing. Joseph at MSA was great helping sort it out.

Replied in the earlier post. Hope you find the info you need in that thread, it's a few years old.

"For those in need the joint is made by Motor Master and the specific unit is: Kawasaki ATV700" @Dr. 240Z found them for $22 in 2014. Good luck. https://www.google.com/search?q=240z+steering+shaft+u+joints+replacement+kawasaki+classiczcars.com&rlz=1C1BOFA_enUS494US494&oq=240z+steering+shaft+u+joints+replacement+kawasaki+classiczcars.com&aqs=chrome..69i57.40742j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

I've got beck arnely on both my cars. Happy with mine. Rockauto is where I got them.

Rember a little over spray blue on the black oil pan.
