sounds like fun a 70 model.. keep us updated curious to see some pictures

I'd share Carls opinion, " once your start digging ".. ( but I think even the nicest Z has hidden rust in there.. ) you could still have fun with the car, and repair the bad spots, by cutting out the rotten section and weld in new metal, but you need to have some skills for that.

good advice, i'll think i'll do something like that

A friend of mine was curious about that I found the previous owners in the US. He asked me if you guys where able to help him to also possibly trace back the last owner in the US, he doesn't have any history prior to 1990.. and the car was shipped ot the Netherlands in 1994. This is what he has: dhr Kavanagh Joseph J 7695 NW 21ST court Margate florida 33063-7904 The car changed owner 4 times during 1994 in a short time, because the owners found out the floors and frame rails was all rusty, and possibly didn't have the skill to prepare. The current owner repaired this. The only thing not original now is the rear fenders, but he hasn't done anything to it yet. ( more pics to come )

Yeah, I really like that color and will keep it that way Alan. Just that iˊd like to bring the engine and bay back to orginal look..

Plenty of time, no hurries I was also amazed to find so much Datsun Z at Joop Stolze, since they are almost no where to be found here. It's not like his place had a huge billboard or something , nothing at all... that was the most amazing thing, like a barn find..

Hello Alan, Nice to meet you! By chance I found this youtube video and didn't know if you would respond, but rather quick ! It must be nice for you also to find your Z back! It's in good hands. It needed alot of work to be done, but so far it's roadworthy again, and it will go up for check the 13th of Februari, hope it passes the first time. The engine still needs work, but it's running good for now, you got any history on that? @ Robert and Alan, it would be really cool to track back the other owners, and even the first one! ( if possible ). Well i'll be posting more pics and maybe a video when the weather will be better. I really like the color by the way! Will be painting it the same color again when it needs repaint. Bart.

Was searching on Youtube for 240Z vids, suddenly I find my own car up running in 2009 ( looks the same like the pictures Robert S showed ).. now that's cool

1971 Datsun 240z SPORTS - Used Datsun 240z For Sale in Concord , NSW - $35,999

Okay, thanks.

Thanks guys, I did find the classic datsun paint from less on ebay to for 29 dollars something, but the shipping costs are the price of 3 cans ..:sick: Would it work if I take a picture of the right color on the engine block to a paint shop and let them decide as close to possible? Just found this on Zcar? The Number is Pontiac Blue DE1610.

Anybody knows the colorcode of the paint? I tried Nissan Netherlands, but they won't help

So true... the last post in that topic is so right...

Yeah and they wonder why the economy is crashing... :tapemouth ..because everybody wants more and more piece of the cake

Uhm the dovetails from the UK costs me more than from the US due to taxes.and extra charge they put .

Problem solved, I installed 260z ones. I got 240z ones and 280z ones aswell on the way, but will keep as reserve..

Nice progress so far . Here in NL we take the car to an alignment shop, they will do the work with computer alignment equipment, it's far easier. Maybe that's an option for you? Found this to, if you want to do yourself:

You learn something everyday, thanks. Well at least I got the stock wheels then, I think polished they look great

I just realised I have the same wheels on my Z. Are these stock? Nice example by the way, interior looks very good.

Nice that Jay Leno actually appriciates them, Jereme Clarkson from TopGear just had thing to whine about..

Yeah I know what you mean... By chance, yesterday I found somebody in NL who has 260z dovetails... :paranoid: Mmm anyhow now I will have a few extra, if the other ones break.

Edit: /

Sucks! I'm not very good in English, but before installing the tie rod end ( wheel side ) and putting the crown nut on, it's best to make sure the inside of the parts ( where the wheeld side tie rod joint goes in ) is clean, and warm it up with a gas torch, and keep the tie rod part cold, then you put it in without hassle, let it cool down, and then put the crown nut on ( make sure the thread is smooth before putting it on ). I wrecked alot of these in the past, by doing it the wrong way. Heat is your best friend in these jobs

I got a reply back from geoff from fourways engineering and they got a pair , thanks
