I once went to Schut in Soest , the netherlands. He had some original datsun engines laying around. You could give them a call. industrieweg 29, soest. tel +31 (0) 35 6010668

I would throw that carbs in the bin, they don't belong on a japanese car 😑

No problem. Just depends on what you want though. Maybe its better suited for someone who is doing an early 240 restoration and needs the correct E31 head for it. It's not lying in my way anyhow. I intend to keep it as a spare because by that time in the future they are even harder to come by. I am willing to sell it to a fellow z enthusiast, but i'm not santa claus

ow you mean the big idiot area 😹

L25? Why would that be worth 55K🥱

There is also 100 and 102 RON

He lives in Germany, they have high octane fuel

A big cam and weber carb setup is a must if you want to have some power from it. You could also lighten the flywheel and some good headers are needed. Then offcourse the head..

Yes, I have an E31 if you want. It's ready to bolt on. It's not lying in my way though, was planning to use it as a spare part

differential insulator early one - Open Discussions - The Classic Zcar Club (classiczcars.com) I found a way to modify the later style mount to the early one, see the link above.

I meant the chevelle not the camaro.

sounds like a very good deal to me. They will have rust on the floorboards and the usual places, but not to bad looking at the pictures. Look at the driver side door tag so see the build date and if the engine and chassic number might match.

Yeah I agree with that. Massive inflation going on

Don't know what's going on but prices on muscle cars are going up insane to. Camaro and Chevelle's ss 454 almost not for the common man anymore.

Basically constant vacuum carbs are very easy, but if you are used to downdraft carbs like most US cars use, it can be confusing at first. The screw on the lower part is mixture control. The vacuum controls the fuel delivery. The choke pulls the venturi down ( same like putting the needle up ) and creates a richer mixture. Float bowl level has to be right offcourse and all the parts function correctly. Carbs can be synched by hand and view ( watch throttle valve opening ), but with an air flow synch tool is better and more accurate.

When I talk to older people here, they always confuse the 280zx with the 280, this might have something to do with it, or maybe not lol

lol. value will only go up in the long run..

oops 😄

Okay Okay...

Yes, so he did take effort to change the oil, but did not finish the car and drive it ? mmmm

That's odd, why would you do that ? Oil doesn't expire.. Anyhow the 350 mile looks correct looking at the other parts. If i would keep it myself, I would have the underside, wheel wells, and engine bay dry ice blasted, and preserved again with a 2k clear coat. Don't like that heavy tar undercoat they put on it and on all the parts. But maybe it's good for sale originality ?

This weekend worked on getting the AOD transmission back under the mustang. So far now it finally seems to hold the power. The only weak link still might be the direct clutch, will see if it holds. Dan ( From Silverfox Transmission ) said it could handle around 700hp so I should be fine. But you never know what it does under abuse... if that fails I could go to a 4R70w housing and use the Sonnax direct clutch kit, and put everything that's in the AOD now, also back in the 4R70W, then it would be a guaranteed 900HP proof transmission lol. The manual valvelbody takes time to get used to, because I need to shift it manually, but it's fun, finally getting the gears to not shift up, only when i want to. Also I got rid of the TV cable set up finally. -- The Z and the mustang will go into wintersleep this week. Will continue work in spring. The mustang needs the steering column out, because there is alot of slop in there still. I found the problem to be there ( I replaced everything else ). VID-20201004-WA0008.mp4

So, with the 240Z I had some problems with the differential mount that was fixed ( discussed in another topic ) modifying the later one to the early. The handbrake was also not releasing properly, so I took of the drums, and cleaned and lubed everything, works fine again. Just some regular service... Also 1 tire failed or something, I was barely able to drive it, when working on the diff, I decided to re-balance the wheels, then I found out, 1 tire in the back had completely failed, like an egg on it.. Replaced it, car drives smooth again. Will be going into wintersleep next month. Weather is starting to go bad, keep it out of the rain.

I did drove the 240Z yesterday and it works fine. No more clunk also. So if you early guys are looking for a solution to the NLA < 71.8 insulator mount here is the solution in this topic, you can modifiy the 71.8> to work.

Yeah, basically what you did is go for the 71.8 > spec and add the RT mount. I wanted to keep it as original as possible myself.
