He got back to me late last night (my time in CST). For some reason he had not received my previous email and is not getting notifications from this site so was unaware of the tags in this thread as well as the PMs. Thank you all for helping alert him that I was attempting to get in touch with him, this community is great!

Ok, I've just sent him another PM on this site as well as an email.

Yep, that's the email address I have been using to contact him.

As mentioned, I've already done that.

Thank you! Oh there's rust in it, not too bad though in most places. I think that under the hatch sill is probably the worst of it.

I got it running and driving back in May. Finally got it insured and new tags in June then took it down the street to fill it with gas. Today was the first day I really got it out and drove it...in all about 55 miles. She needs some tweaking to run better still though it was still really nice to be able to drive her again. This short video is in after I got back home. 20250726_125928.mp4

Does anyone have a good way of reaching @Sean Dezart at Z Story? I've emailed directly. I've PM'd on this site. Two months has past and no reply.

I did not see where they sell just the wire harness. Am I missing something?

Am I dreaming or do I remember correctly that someone somewhere had created a plug-in pigtail that 'converted' our US based wiring to the JDM for use with the JDM lens? The purpose of the pigtail is to prevent from having to cut into the factory wire harness.

Got it, thank you! Now to see if I can figure out what it is saying. lol

I have not. Is that in a files/resources section of the website?

I figured at least some of them were for the radio. Are they all radio related? There is no radio in the car. I'll install one so I will need to know what wires are for what please.

I have a bunch of wires in the center, right above the tranny tunnel, that are connected to nothing. Can someone help with identifying what each of these should be connected to? Here are several pictures I just took. https://photos.app.goo.gl/AtbSgkaMo9Fm5uT8A

Does anyone have the PROPER way to connect the under dash electronic fuel pump wiring in a 240Z? For testing purposes the connection in this picture (green and black/white wires) was jumpered and it worked. Being that there is a molex plug here there must be more to wiring it up properly. I've been told that the factory had it wired to the oil pressure gauge so that if the car lost oil pressure it would stop the fuel pump.

Huge help, than you @Yarb Now I need to find one! I'm looking for part #13015-21002, the part is called SERVICE FILE CAM-FUEL PUMP. It is #9 in this diagram: https://www.carpartsmanual.com/datsun/Z-1969-1978/engine-240z-260z/camshaft-valve-mechanism/9

What is the round part that is on the front of the cam which the fuel pump arm rides? I'm needing to get one and need to know what it is called so I can search for it.

WOW, and mention of Cybersanford (eBay seller) too...I've not see that name in many years.

Is this what you are looking for?

I just wanted to verify something before placing an order. I'm needing these: https://zcardepot.com/products/water-hose-nipple-intake-bypass-connector-oem-240z?_pos=68&_sid=780dca1dc&_ss=r Per the description these are for numbers 19 and 22 in the diagram. Would this also not be the same part for number 20 in the diagram? Or is that a different one for some reason?

That's perfect, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

Does anyone have a good picture of the rear driver side of a 240Z engine showing how the rear engine sling and water bypass are mounted? I've searched all over the internet and the closest I could find was something Arne posted in 2009...it just did not quite show what I'm after. I believe both of these go on the rear most intake/exhaust bolt/stud though I'm not sure which order they install in. I am thinking that the water bypass is first and the engine sling is second. Please help me verify.

Welcome back @=Enigma=, good to see you on here again. As for others I remember, KMack, escanlon...oh man my memory is failing me at the moment. There were so many regulars.

Thank you for confirming what I thought to be the case.

Thank you for confirming what I thought to be the case.

I was at the local Z shop yesterday for something else and talked to the guy who basically was saying the same thing. Because of the overlap you'd have to decide which piece you want to save unless you were able to undo the spot welds (if in fact they were spot welds). I'll go read up on that other post.
