The first pic that 26th posted is exactly what my '71 and '72 FSM look like.

You recall well...here is what my two say and they are both the single combine volume: Service Manual Datsun 240Z Sports Model S30 Series Engine Chassis and Body 1971 Service Manual Datsun 240Z Sports Engine Chassis and Body 1972 Now all I need are the 1970 and 1973 and my FSM collection will be complete. Anyone got either of these that would like to help complete my collection?

Do you have the short or long pigtail versions? What condition are they in?

Michael, can you tell me more about the one you posted the link to and email me the additional pix you said you have? Do you know what they want for it?

Over priced! There's no engine or tranny and it's rusted out so the body is trash. He wants way too much for it.

Hey 26th, those are the headlights I sold you! Glad to see that they are doing well and in GOOD company.

Yes, they do have lots of parts. I have been there a few times and got some things. Jerry (the owner) is not always the easiest person to deal with on the phone and don't bother by email but once you're in the shop it's not so bad. Don't look here for any series I parts though, I have and do regularly and they don't have any.

Where'd you find it and how much are we talking about...roughly?

Chat room??? I didn't even know that this site ever had one. :stupid:

Yep, he started the hack job on it right after the eBay auction ended. Go and search the thread on hybridz.org and you'll find out more information as this is where he was posting updates (at lease early on) about what he was doing.

So then a good question is how (it it's even possible) can one be made to fit and work in the early Z cars whith the L6 engine?

An L6 5-speed is somewhere around 70lbs give or take 10lbs from what I recall when I last moved the one in my garage.

Yep, looks stock to me too. I just tore down an '82 engine not too long ago and I have one from it that looks like this one.

este, I have yet to see in any post where you indicate where in Texas you live...it's a BIG state. You may want to update your profile with this info so you will never be asked again.

Shoot me a PM or email about this request.

See the pic below and let me know if these are what you are looking for. I have these for sale if you are interested. http://www.pape.ws/allan_and_rosanne/Z-Car_Stuff/Wheels/American%20Racing1.JPG

You're welcome guys! I'm just glad I have been able to give back to this group in some way for all the help I have received...and hope to continue getting.

Beautiful seat and I'd love to have it but I bet what I have to spend would insult you. Best of luck. Get out there and find a new job before you are forced to sell things you do not wish to...like this seat...and the car it's in.

I believe it and would expect at least that much hp with a twin turbo set et all like he has. These engines are capable of a lot of hp but like the othes said, it takes time and money.

Well I have the files from the second link that Mr Camouflage provided, and a back up of that page also. Both are available here. PrOxLaMuS©, if you just need these white gauge face files hosted I would be glad to just shoot me an email or PM so we can get them on the server.

If someone will provide them to me I'll host them.

A couple other notes: This is not a series I as it is advertised. Series I cars had the E31 head not the E88, they aslo had the vented hatch which this one does not, they had the 240Z sail badges which this one does not, etc, etc. Secondly, in addition to the mentioned repair work you will also be looking at MANY new rubber pieces such as hoses, belts, and seals not to mention that anything that is greased should be re-greased (steering, suspension, etc), new tires are almost certainly required too. Dry rot will set in over 11+ years of non-use and cause more problems than you think. This is a project car and will need a lot of TLC and as a project car it's worth more like $1000-1500 (in it's current condition). Now for donating it and taking the $5000 write-off...yes, you can do this but you will have to live with yourself and for this action. It's really very unethical and immoral to donate something with a market value of say $1000 and claim it to be worth $5000. If it were really worth $5k then you'd be better off selling it as the tax deduction will show you a smaller return. I also think that the IRS would be really interested in how a non-running car could be worth $5k as a donation (don't create any reason for them to audit you!).

Now how did I miss those carbs? I've been keeping an eye out for a tripple set up and didn't even see these. I've been watching these timing sets for a while and just can't bring myself to buy one. Have you received it yet? I just realized that the cam sprocket in the pic is an adjustable one! Is it really?

I thought the same thing. :stupid:

I am interested but where is 287 & 35? I'm in Austin so I know 35 but...
