It's the smallest ring that has some damage.. i would paint that one black and polish the rest.. you be surprised how nice they are when polished. All that green stuff is removed easely.. (it's the copper in there that makes them greenish..) Take a small drillbit in your small powerdrill and put some cotton around it and polish away..

Nothing fake about that chrome.. it's real chrome!! (it's damped (Vapor deposited?) on the plastic..) btw.. i don't know if the knob is removable, take some good lighting and a lot of patience, maybe you see how it's constructed.. and see a way out.

I think these Japanese cars have the metric system on wiring.. so you need 2,5 mm2 wires for the headlights, actually 2 mm2 would be sufficient but i think they are 2,5mm2 (house wiring over here is often 2,5mm2.. good for 16 amps) If you are gonna use the H4 lamps of 65 watt a piece then you have no trouble at all.

Yeah right!

It says: "Remove brake drum adjust hole plug" What beautiful english... 🤬 I would say: Remove plug out of brake drum adjust hole.. 😮 ( Because i would name the thing that's meant, first.. You guys.. tell me what is the better english? )

There should be a hole (on the flat front of drum) that is (possibly) closed with a sort of lead.. through that you can alter the brake.. see service manual.. but i would hit the front from the drum with a hammer.. just light hits all over them.. maybe some heat helps too?

Yeah.. what i thought.. can it be that your vacuum in the distributor is defect..

Thanks for the picture! Is this just a pic found on the internet or from a member on this site? Would like to see what kind of turbo he has installed there. I wonder also what those (fuel?) lines are on the air intake tube? Injection? (seen left of the gauge)

Till last week i didn't want to chase rust on my 240z.. hahaha... now i took it to a friend for a check ( as my 280zx is on my own lift..) and it had a few holes after 22 winters of use.. not bad.. in the dog legs as you guys call it.. Maybe repair it next year.. not a lot of motivation on this side... 😫 Also behind the lower part of the front fender there is a lot of rot.. pfff.. repaired those 25 years ago.. and are very rusty.. Your work looks good, just be sure not to spray any sinkpaint over rust because it will rust anyway. only clean steel will accept the paint good. Take your time and brace, brace brace... when taking out big pieces.

Eh.. yeah.. normally a no brainer but if your not a electrician even remotely... let someone else take a look.. If the red and green are the up and down wire of the antenna.. put those on the outer 2 connections of the 3 from the switch. The middle one gets a pos or minus depending on what your antenna needs to go up or down. See service manual or product papers from the new antenna.. (These are plus i think because the antenna used in these cars is chassis is negative.) AND..what?? 🙂 (white?) 🙂 Original the blue wire is the antenna up/down.. i think? pos. 12 v is up on that wire and 0v is down.. You need a 12v+ to the (P) contact in the middle of the switch to make it work.. (get it from the fusebox or a existing wire that was used for the old antenna.)

And.. it has to have a auto return to the (middle) off position! So the plus 12 v is on the P-contact (most times the middle one on back) and the UP and LOWER signal cables are on the other 2 contacts.

yup...😢

Maybe i was not clear about my solution.. don't know.. but a euro version has NO evap-TANK at all!! Simply connect the end of tank exit to the filler opening's neck and close all the others i guess.. i did.. don't know..long time ago.. (i do have a usa calif. car 240z)

It says high pressure.. and if i search the number it says: Nissan high pressure pump for special engines.. (whatever that is!) But i think it's a pump that gives more volume per min-1. So it can lube the engine AND something else as well.. like a turbo.

Brand new IN the original packing, A high pressure oilpump for any L20-L24-L26-L28 engine. (Used for special engines that have a turbo for example.) Part Nr: 15010-A1110

And, did you investigate ? Still working on this 240z?

Yeah, i remember it too. It's "my new z" from Rabbitz.. i guess he's still praying for some new miracles.

My feb 1971 had a plastic one, i kicked it out as it had a crack! I turned it into a euro version tank inlet/airvent. 🙂

Next step is a camera.. to look if your already a sleep and shuts off the tv...

Yeah.. television has come a long way since i repaired my first b/w Philips TV! (this was in 1977.. i was 16! .. now am 61.. pfff.. and A LOT tv's further!) I watch a lot of youtube on my 4k tv and often amazed about how sharp these tv's are these days..

I think that there are people now in Denmark that feel a bit ashamed.. when i look how that part needs a lot more attension. (left edge is terrable..) But yeah, one does not have to start from plain flat steel sheet! Eh.. europarts? denmark?

Yeah, they have the precise size on them and all 6 are the same 1mm oversize. the styrofoam box is nothing special, just a box that keeps moist out as there are a lot of inner engine parts in the box. I sprayed the parts with WD40 to keep them away from moist. I don't think it's a problem to use these 6 in a engine. the one with the green ring is just a newer type i think. If i ever gonna use them i first have a talk about these pistons with a machinist, the cylinders have to be bored/honed anyway.

If i had some perfect, undented, ORIGINAL nissan fenders.. wow.. i mean i have sold a very nice aftermarket set (Black dragon copy's) for around 1400 dollar/euro and you could get twice that money for them.. I would like to see some original wrapped fenders from Nissan!

These pistons are lying around for over 35+ years in a special styrofoam box, incl. lots of L24 inner parts.. What is the most used oil ring.. in the L24? left or right one?

Yeah.. but i think that's only some preservative paint stuff.. you mean the green on one of the ring's on the right piston.. should be no problem. After cleaning with some solvent these will be metall color i think?
