It prob came loose from the slamming. Like racebird1 says, it's a simple push down mechanism, you can push the lever down to open the hatch if you remove the panel on the inside.

Well your going back to a 240z so from a European point of view they are worth more. But it's a late 72 model, but expect some things to do on the car, maybe you can get something off from that 10k ?

Good plan..

^ I agree with the rest, awesome work. You can get there... I've been that road to, but decided it was really to much rust to continue on it, it was easier to look for a more solid car.

That's a long way all the way from Japan ! I always get beer in Germany, I live close to the border. It's great yup.

Thanks Leon ! If the weather is nice tomorrow, I will head to Stolze, and talk about the diff... it's taking to long really...

And the latest part from the US.. chrome bumper guard, was stored since the late 70's or something, but in perfect condition !

Couldn't find any pictures of the event, but found a local newspaper article about it this week.

E-tek, Do you have a sandblaster cabin ? If not i'd recommend getting one.. it saves ALOT of time on all the small parts... Gr Bart

Also looks likes there's a nut missing on the left strut mounting in the engine bay ?

I do now I am missing the rubber strip in the engine bay where the hood closes on... ( getting that this week I hope ) could it be that carburetor/engine fumes are leaking past that, and going into my cabin when I open the windows when driving ? ( the natural flow pushing the gasses in ? ) I am thinking that because there's also alot of air from both the fan and the wind is pushing into the engine bay when driving...

I used the search but couldn't find a real answer to it. When I drive with the windows closed there's no fuel smell in the interior, but when I drive with the windows down there's a smell of fuel... I have to say it is less now with the new rebuild carburetors, but I can still smell it. Does it come from the engine bay ?

Robert, You'r right, didn't even notice it at first ! I need to learn to look more carefully. I'm currently also in the process of repairing the cracks, but so far didn't found a company willing to take the challenge. Gr Bart.

Datsun : Z-Series coupe 2-door in Datsun | eBay Motors to bad they refurbed the seats in the wrong color

Does it really matter on a car of that age ?

Woman and talking logic ? Now wait a minute... That car should be restored my opinion, date stamp is 11/69 not much left of 1969..

Awesome !

A v8 doesn't belong in a z car in my opinion.. different power delivery than a straight 6

Think your right in that, he's better of on HybridZ, this is more for classic z cars.

boost it, or go for another inline 6 like the RB series ? I wouldn't drop a V8 in there... Or a stock m3 engine from the bmw e36, that's about 300 hp

Thanks everyone ! Well yesterday was fun, the weather was pretty nice and sunny I don't know where to find pictures of the event yet, but I guess they will show up later this week. Although this was the first time they held this event, it went pretty good. A lot of people where looking at the car, don't see an old Z that often here ! I made a picture of the car this morning as it sits

Wow... just found this by chance. And they are naming the Datsun 240Z on their website to '' Among the sports and GT cars, Mercedes coupés and cabriolets must again rank among the favourites; but a Porsche or a Datsun 240Z could do well, and a well prepared Austin Healey or MGB may surprise them ''.

Problem is GONE. To confirm: it was in the carburetor butterfly axles ( to much drag/wear ). Pedal feels so smooth now, it's even to sensitive !

Got it fixed.. it was the breaker points that wore in to fast, because of missing lube on the cam...

Finally got it running right... I had to turn the carburetor mixture screws richer, because it wouldn't idle properly, I wouldn't have thought, because Chris had them on a 2.8 engine ! Timing is also correct, and it idles fine now. I have to admit, the gas pedal problem is GONE ! It's so much smoother now Feels like driving a new car.. maybe it's a bit to over sensitive and I have to get used to it now. Anyhow it's ready for tomorrow's classic car rally
