After going to 3 wheel " specialists " , finally found one who found the following: 2 bent rims and the holes will be drilled conical, so I can use conical lug nuts to center it just right. Fingers crossed !

This kit is now for sale. If anybody on the club here needs it PM me. It fits on 280ZX and some other, follow the link Chas posted.

I pushed mine to deep once, the sound wasn't nice and it didn't work.. then I saw the slot like zed head mentions.. it worked then.

Cool ride ! That green/brown interior combo is really nice

Why don't you guys just buy a 240Z ? Kidding... nice work there !

Could be many things, but my guess is look at this : - Ignition timing - Overal condition of the ignition system - Valve clearance not right - Mixture to rich.

Okay... I got the rear wheel bearings in ! Also replaced the prop shaft and the 2 short shafts. I didn't take pictures when changing the bearings , but here are some of the result. I've made a home made puller to get the shaft out with a 15 kg weight but it didn't came loose. After I tried almost everything, I heated up the housing with a propane torch and voila one whack and it came out instantly ! So I'd recommend anyone who is going to do this, just use heat.. to make the job easier and save alot of time. The locking nut came of pretty easy, I used an impact wrench. First I used a chisel to whack off the flat spots on the security ring on the nut before loosening it. I found the grease reservoir to be completely dry on both sides ! Those bearings must have been in there a long time :paranoid: I found while replacing the prop shaft that the 4 bolts connecting the prop shaft flange to the differential flange where not original, but US size bolts. I found this may cause an alignment problem, Lucky I had the original metric bolts.. I also freshed up the fuel cap/housing area, there was some rust there. And put some extra sealant between the gaskets to prevent leaking of fumes. Also a pic of the new original gearknob in the car.

I saw that one on Ebay to, that's insane

I have a newspaper piece where the 240Z is listed with other classic cars as a good investment. Classic cars seem to be steady investments..?

Meanwhile this arrived today

The bearings are here, still waiting for the oil seals.

Just noticed an S30 model in the song stranger in moscow from michael jackson in the first part

Chas, I found the bearings closer to home than I thought. LemmTech in Zevenaar has them also the oil seals.. Around 25/30 euro for a bearing. Your information helped Gr Bart

It would ne nice to see it restored back to original not much L20 with E30 head engines around.

I know what you mean with the burn out on metal work. Nice work so far, you'll get there

Hi Chas, Yeah from Marktplaats.. got it for a good price yup. Gr Bart

I know he doesn't respond the e-mail much or quickly. Calling would be your better option.

Here's the same lamp, sandblasted, looks alot better allready. I will hold it as a spare. It works perfectly, just not zinc plated, but that would be cheap now to do so..

This is here in the Netherlands. I know the garage, got some parts there for my Z. I know it was a very low VIN, but don't know the number right now. ASR Auto Service Rozendaal ( go left to occasions, scroll down bottom left the black one )

Hoi Chas, Seems the add misled me then, saying it was for a 240z.. ( I think they made a mistake then ) I was doubtful when I saw the bearings. Than I will have to look for the right ones, you allready gave me the numbers Gr Bart

Yeah I'm going to change them, they must be in there for a long time. I allready did the front wheel bearings. But I am not sure if they are correct, because the add says it's for Datsun 240Z, but like Blue shows above those are different bearings ? But you say they are the same, so I'm confused.. So I'm asking just to be sure, before I take everything apart to find out they don't fit..

It said datsun 240z and datsun 260z in the advertisement.. DATSUN NISSAN 240Z 260Z NEW BRT REAR WHEEL BEARING KIT | eBay Here's some pictures My worry is that I read that the outer bearing has an extended inner sleeve

I just repaired my current one last weekend, and it works fine. I painted it silver, don't really care to get it zinc plated. And just picked up another one here by chance, seems the lens is pretty good still ?

Thanks :classic: Yeah replace the gasket first, see what happens. Make sure the mixture screws on both carbs are turned out equally.
