Don't use it for a daily driver, unless it's a completely restored one. But most people won't use that as a " daily driver ".

Hi Courtney, Welcome to the club and the Datsun virus Cool story on your blog ! My advice ( if you like originality ) would be to get everything back to stock ( su carbs ( better fuel mileage ) and oem mechanical fan ), also tune up and replace as much wear items as possible. Been there done that.... I thought my car was good, until I changed for almost 10 grand on parts to get it reliable ! Like Robert says you'll learn along the way.. Gr Bart

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 !
