I have never altered a brakesystem, but read about it and i'm sure you WILL need a proportioning valve! Unless your installing 500HP plus you don't need cooled and drilled and grooved disks on the rear axle. At less than 150 horse (As it's 150SAE HP) you don't really need bigger brakes than original provided.) As john Morton once said in a commercial: front disks and rear drums, i wouldn't want it any other way.. (Or something alike 😉)

Are you not worried that this kind of brakecaliper on the rear makes MUCH to much braking power? I read a lot of people that go from drumbrakes to diskbrakes are experiencing much to hard braking and it can be very dangerous when a car brakes to hard on the rearaxle.. You need to find a balance in that and this can be very tricky! (That's why i still prefer the drumbrakes in the rear.) Also the grooved and drilled disks... ON the REAR?? If you ask me, waiting for a lot of trouble? I would go (If i wanted disks) for a plain single disk of about 12mm oe so. (Rear brakes only do about 20-25% of the total of braking.. You even can drive a car without rear brakes, i don't recommend but it's not much difference.. don't ask how i know hahaha...) Also, do you leave the brakeforce reducer in the rear line in, or do you need to take it out? (I guess the brakeparts deliverer/compagnie has a surtain plan delivered with the parts?)

Here, some euro inlet pic's

I've seen exhausts that leaked, so if you want to fit it right make the intakes smaller not the exhaust pipes/connections. Particularly the exhaust number 6 causes trouble at the seals.. so you know now what to look out for!

Nice clock there.. I got the exact same one (still working) comes original out of a 260z but will fit 240z i guess?.. Or is there a different connection?

Those donuts in plastic are also found under the seats.. but i only have seen them in black (on the bolts).

Wow! I think i have restored my 280zx first edition of 1979 just in time! I feel a lot better about the amount that costed me the restore now! Hahaha! 😁

Nice website, www.s30.world (so.. not .nl or .com or whatever!) just s30.world !!

Nice to see that it is the other way around this time, yes someone overhere is working hard on S30 stuff! Most times we have to get our stuff out of the USA or Japan..

Oh.. 10+ years for a restore of one of these is no exception, it took me 10+ years to do my 240z and over 10+ years to do my 280zx slick roof 2+2.. You car looks like a clean (not rusty) example, nice to work on!

Nice work Chris, (I myself have the euro version signal lights on the bumper) For as far i know these flasher light ornaments/casings only had one bulb in them? I like the ones that are on the bumper, the disadvantage is the terrible stuff it's made of most part namely Zamac (alu,copper,zinc ??) It rusts from inside the airbubbles IN the material, so it's always a lost case when you rechrome them it ALWAYS comes back.. terrible stuff.. Maybe you could make them (the main rear part) out of shiny plasic?

Yes, overhere we had liquorice, what we call "drop".. we had "drop" Cents, i remember we had 100 for 1 guilder so in dollar then it was about 275 "dropjes" for a US dollar i guess.. How can i make a Dutch guy crazy? Put him in a round room and tell him there is liquorice in the corner! And a Belgian? .. Say there are some french fries in the corner! The Dutch, we love our DROP!

Sorry, i Didn't read the whole story.. i thought your car is a wreck with a good roof.. 2 cents.. 45 cents.. wow that's a high inflation! 🤪

Hihi.. just what i said, cut half way the a and c pillars.. (Under the complex joint.. so the roof is saved.)

@Captain Obvious I thank you too for the explanations of a MC! I never had a problem with them, did install them but never had to go into them deep.. It sounds completely clear that there is a small valve to shut this piston to make pressure. Also it sounded logical that the valve was open when it was rusted as the MC was all that time when it rusted solid in rest position.

Details Details!! 👌 And put the other 99 for sale in a ad on the site! 😉

They where not on this site for over a year.. (look at theire personal page.) They can't keep up with all the sites, busy at work!

On the link, that left rim in pic1 has a dent on 3 o'clock and the right one is/seems unround at 7.. And also, find 2 others..

Halfway the a and c pillars.. (i would) then the buyer can easely make the connections..)

That's because you have no bumpers, Many years ago i bought every bumper i could lay my hands on as they were very scarse overhere.. now everybody drives around without bumpers! Still got a few sets.. (EDIT:of 240z, 260z bumpers with or without the towelbars!) You say: You drove for the first time to get the exhaust installed.. you mean you drove without an exhaust? ?? That would be impossible overhere as you would get stopped by the police in a hartbeat! What if they stopped you, you told them i'm just on my way to install a exhaust? Btw, nice black car, needs some chrome bumpers (especially a black car) and some side badges.

Don't be so hard on yourself.. it's a common mistake.. (I remember i once sended someone his own carpart pictures when he asked for some pic's of parts of 240z's ! 🙈 ... sometimes you have them all mixed up and way to many pictures made..)

Bart, what about some nice 260z alu wheels for your 240z? I think they look very nice on the 240z. As you want it original.. some steel wheels with orig. covers would be the best but second are those nice alu 260z wheels.. you know who will have a set.. 😉

Hahaha.. yeah... about 3,8 for a american gallon and... 4,2 liters for a english gallon (about..) so out of my head... and it's different to make it easy!!! JUST USE THE METRIC !! 😉

I never seen that! I think your filter is to thick. For as far i know there is only one thickness filter for the 240z, a 280zx has 2 very different filter thicknesses.. and they look a bit like 240z filters. your sure you have the right 240z filter, can someone give the thickness in mm? (Yeah i know stupid question, asking you if you got the right one.. )

Then you have met Chris? He is all into s30's, he ones bought my brand new 240z rear lights in the original box. He's keen on anything that has to do with a s30.
