Datsun Z Series Coupe | eBay

Looks pretty good also, can still see many flaws though

Who bought it ? I might be needing a first gen dash.. if it's not cracked

Chris your carbs are doing fine so far, it never ran so good, the old carbs must really have been worn !

Yesterday another local classic car event, this year was the second time, not so many cars, but still fun !

Mine has a plastic fan and is from 5/71, should it then have had the metal fan instead ?

Maybe then it would be more appropriate to name model changes per production year ?

It's cool, a friend of mine is also into 3D printing, they make the wire for 3d printers.. But those plastic cars will never replace the metal classics for me..

This should be a series 2 right, but it still has the metal cooling fan ? I assume now that there isn't a real " series 1 to series 2 " period they just changed things during the production time ...?

Series 1, can be saved but it's gonna need alot of love, maybe parts car Datsun Z Series 2 Door | eBay

Door seals not to thick ? Before I changed mine I had to " slam !! " the door... to manage 2 clicks..

Happy Birthday ! Mr.K must have seen alot of changes through his lifetime

Yeah. Maybe the AC is the only rare option here I noticed the door seals are shot to. Good catch on the Micro car museum, didn't even notice that !

Datsun Z Series Z | eBay needs work but overall seems not molested

I know what you mean, but they always have plenty of money to throw around making things go much faster..

Sunday drive through Flevoland

It does like like it has a sunroof

Find a good second hand tank, don't put your life at risk here..

I have a similiar thing, and I installed a new " NOS from Ebay" fuel sender since I was refurbing the tank anyhow. Funny the old one seemed more accurate to me ? Also does anyone have problems when filling up, I find the filler neck very small for today's fuel filler pistols from the gas pump, I cannot go full " throttle " on the fuel delivery.. The 240Z's float reminds me of the one I find on the Chinese scooters today...sometimes they work great, sometimes not.. but I have found this problem on the scooters to be a small clip that has been pushed down to hard in the factory making the float not move easily, so with a small screwdriver I go under the clip to give it some room, and most floats work again after that.

Checked other pictures on google and most early 240z's don't have them. It could be a factory thing, but what did they want to mount to them ?

Okay this morning the wheels where balanced with the hunter road force machine. 1 rim needed a tire rotation on the rim ( high/low spot matching ), the other 3 only weights. I have to say it's much better now only a small amount left ! But that's okay I can't expect a 100% steady steering wheel at higher speeds.

I bet that's fun to drive !

Tried the stock steel wheels and the vibration at higher speeds above 70 mph was much less id say 40% less. So it must be in the tire/wheel combo... The turbo wheels are now back on. I want to try one last thing: road force balancing on the hunter machine. I booked an appointment tomorrow morning, fingers crossed. This is the last thing I will try, if not cured I will live with it.

Dropped the original steel wheels of at the tire shop to get balanced. I want to try them on the car see if the ride is smoother. You won't believe it but I still have little vibration in the steering wheel and trough the car above 70 mph, not as bad as before, but it's still there and I find it annoying on the highway. On the car now are the 280ZX 15 inch turbo wheels with the original lug nuts, you would think it centered fine.. but this system does not use the conical lug nut like the original steel wheel of the 240z does. Now that I have the original lug nuts with the original wheels I wan't to try them out, who knows the ride if finally smooth as it should be.. If this doesn't cure it, I will live with the little vibration and the turbo wheels will go back on.
