It'll be close for me. OE bumpers are off and waiting on fiberglass ones to be painted to match the spoilers. Car's running better than ever and has all new brakes, though, so maybe just maybe.

If you won't have a spare car DON'T DO IT. Like Ross says, they're old.

I don't see a fuel filter. There's 3 on my 240. Clogged carburetors cause a rough idle.

He did a complete paint job. Probably had the motor out too. I'm new to the 240s too and will be anxiously watching for your post. You scored, 1970!

More clues. The Z.S.I unit will get you figured out!

I put my valve cover gasket on upside down once and had a hiss around those injectors, vacuum leak. The flatter side up front on the gasket goes on the thermostat side.

Looks like mine did at first, but it'll shine up like a new dime.

I took mine out too after fixing my issue, CTS potentiometer tweaker. More cracks in my boat that could leak.

I've bought 2 of those dome lights from my Nissan dealership, 26410-E4101. Can't wait to quit using flashlights to find my belongings after a twisty road run.

Here's where I get most of my part numbers, Datsun Fairlady 240Z/260Z Engine L24 & L26. You can google the part and then use google images and usually you'll see a pic with the part numbers, or just ask us, we like to help. Skim words are a way of making some money to pay for this wonderful forum. You can turn them off by clicking on SETTINGS at the top right of the page, then go halfway down that page and on the left there is a GENERAL SETTINGS under MY ACCOUNT, click it. Then at the very bottom of that page you can disable SKIMLINKS. Your next project should be figuring out how to upload pictures. Click GO ADVANCED, then MANAGE ATTACHMENTS, ADD FILES, UPLOAD FILES then drag them down to the bottom box retailmenot.com has all the coupon codes. Rock auto will only do 5% and you have to put the code in a box that says"How did you hear about us". Nissan dealers won't keep our parts but can get them in a couple of days, I've bought lots of stuff for my '72 from my local dealership.

Fun, fun fun! Z Tech Tips Ball and Socket Compression Rod (AtlanticZ.ca) Awe damn it, that's Blue's tank removal not "Ball and Socket"

I have to remove that "cup" on my floor jack so there's nothing but a flat square on there, pump it up a few times before shoving it under the car. The rear is even tougher but I've done it so many times it's routine now. I use ramps as much as I can because with stands there's no weight on the suspension so the bushings and tie rods don't look too comfortable to me. I raise mine up to keep from bending over so much working on the motor, back aches a lot less.

Mine must be an Interpart too. I removed it a few days ago to have a chipped place fixed and painted. The underside was raw fiberglass and gel coat, unfinished at best. After a little research online the only difference I could tell was the BRE has a longer path for the brake cooling ducts.

I have those Rhino Gear Ramps for $40 from local parts store. My 240's lowered an inch and has a front spoiler, no problem but I kick them under the tires before I drive up, they slide on my garage floor if I don't. I've pretty much started raising it up with a floor jack and then putting them under the tires. I just measured them and the flat spot at the high end is 6 1/2" off the ground. http://www.amazon.com/RhinoGear-11909-RhinoRamps-Vehicle-Capacity/dp/B006EGAIII/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1411834931&sr=8-1&keywords=rhino+gear+ramp

I buy alot from Advance and Rockauto online with coupon codes, Advance you can buy online and pick up in their stores without paying shipping and usually get 30% off your order. Motor Sports Auto is like a Z car candy store, they have everything you desire but for a premium shipping price from West coast to the East. When you buy from them be sure and take advantage of our clubs 10% discount, it's your member ID, CZCC-30835. You'll be surprised at the parts still available from Nissan locally. I'm not sure the year their computers start but on my older Zs I always have to find the part number before I go in, pimple face part boy thinks my 240Zs are 240SXs. Anyway, there's more information for these cars on-line than you could ever read. google.com is the all knowing master.

You know I haven't read anything from Dogma in a long time. Maybe the fumes got him?

Congratulations on your Time Machine! Mine is a '77 280Z #305 light blue, my first automobile purchase was a '76 light blue Z. My Dad kept my 1st car from me as punishment and I stayed in trouble, alot! So I emptied my savings account, $1,000, and bought my own car. He was PISSED. Mom got a kick out of it.

I've been e-mailing with John Washington at Reaction Research and he's going to make my bumpers for me for a good price. I'll be sure and let everyone know how things turn out. Reaction Research Automotive

Success! Swapping the hard lines from one side to the other really did help. Very little bending, I promise.

Looks really good!

Thank you zKars & Blue, that's my back up plan. After a few beers and a better attitude I went back and swapped the driver's side to the passenger's side brake lines. I only have to straighten out a "c" bend to an "r" and it'll run behind the strut. Lucky idea but too many beers to fool with it tonight. I'll put up some pictures tomorrow. Thanks Guys! I googled Happy Lemon. They have a "Lemon Honey with Jelly Balls", my bulldog's name is Jelly.

Mr Cunningham on Happy Days sold paint cheap but the brushes were high as a giraffes arse.
