Datsun : Z-Series 240 in Datsun | eBay Motors

Exactly. -> Timing seems okay, and he has a spark -> Compression seems okay fuel issue left... ( he's reporting wet spark plugs and fuel dripping out of carbs )

It's not an american car, weighing 2 tons and a crush zone of a tank, the 240 is a tin can ! But it's all what you want, look on hybridz.. anythings possible if you don't like stock, and you need deep pockets...very deep pockets.

Yeah, sounds like the bowls are not filled quick enough.

You mean road force balancing? There's only companies in the west who do that. Anyhow I don't think it's that. I will try 4 new shocks first.. ordered a set of KYB from Ebay, will have them next week. Will see what it does. I did read they have a critical function with McPherson suspensions...

Smoothness of BMW V12 - Other Engines - HybridZ

1971 Datsun 240Z V12 for $9,800!

Make sure you use enough oil on everything, for the first start. Better to much then to less really.

I'm using Fram to, we mostly get those here. I did tighten with hand, but had to re-tighten with hand several times, because it came loose, due vibrations of the engine block I think, but now it seems to hold, after a few re-tightening.

I once saw a post on Hybrid Z where somebody put a 7 series bmw v12 into a 240z...

That engine block turned out nice Will be nice to see the whole thing together again soon.

damn truckloads full of parts in the states.. almost none around here I need to get a holiday !

sender unit gave way, or corrosion at the connector, bad connection, i think

sender...try a new one

Here's some pictures, I also refurbished the steering wheel and gear knob, and put the seatbelts in

Got the new tires on Dunlop Streetresponse. Made a big difference, now it only has some small vibrations. I will change schoks and all rubber bushings/moutings, and joints over time. Also ordered 16 new bolts for the wheels, the old ones are tired. Pics to follow.

That's why I said, go back to mechanical pump with the su's and try..

Chris, you still working on it?

Could be, but he also has coolant on top of each piston, if the waterpump would leak into the block, it wouldn't be on top of the piston, must be the head gasket.

Cool ! Mine also turns 42 this month. ( 5/71 )

what's wrong with the mechanical pump anyhow?

try another head gasket brand than MSA..
