I prefer the Allen-bolt. Let's make it: an inbusbolt! More on the subject, My feb 1971 240z car does not have the strap, also the mounts are not there.. I ask myself don't they have one ( the early cars?) Is it why my car shakes so much when going over 200kph? (Last summer on the german highway, around 210 on the clock… totally Original engine! ? ) Got the feeling.. any moment it's going to take of!!

Hey Captain, i can't deal with english hardware on a Metric car!!! … I hate it! ? …. btw... isn't that hex head called an allan key? or is that tipically English to call it that? I've never heard of a SHCS bolt? what does it stand for? ( when Volvo made the p1800 there were also english bolts and things on it for a few years because they made them in England! normally a Metric swedish car..) EDIT... haha.. SHCS.... google... says : a socket head cap screw…. pfff.. we call it (Dutch) a: "inbusbout" haha.. a bolt with an IN(side) hex-hole... simple…

Yes, 26th z is right. throttle return damper, as memory serves my right... this is a smaller one as on the euro version originaly was.. it's the first part that stops working and people throw them away, because they are not really working most of the time.. (therefore you see them rarely)

Nice car for that price.. it has a big hole in the hood but who cares! If you sell the Z of the hood you make a profit hahaha !! BTW... your name sounds very Dutch? You (or your family) have Dutch Roots?

ofcourse.. dummy me.. the ser.nr. is on the block! just under the headseal..

Pictures could help a lot.. but i think your having a 280z or 280zx block.. 2753cc , The serial nr is on the head, near the headseal.. where it says N42?

I remember making one out of a inner tube of a car tire.. it works very well. ask for a punctured inner tube at a tire shop, they got them laying around!

Like these.... I was looking for a pic. of my E41 with the 2 inlet parts but found these.. now on my 240z for over 20 years.. restored 2007.. (got a set but it's for a Original 240z euro engine i've got.. lying around…?)

You want a set of HJG46W ( also called round top) carburators? The standard (easy to tune) Datsun 240z carbs? (I do have a used set for 500 euro.. but i think to expencive to ship.. from the Netherlands... btw.. were is santa paula? (sounds californian..USA?)

??? …..……. Sorry i did'nt know i was speaking Spanish? ? 4 front and 4 rear bumpers complete! i think 1 set has the bumperettes/bars you guys (american's) call them? If your thinking about buying them.. one set of bumpers, the shipping alone is around 400 dollars, (pure guess..) IF they want to ship them at all!!

I "found" 4 of them on my garage attic.. But here in the Netherlands no one wants to pay up for them so they stay were they are as i payed good money for straight ones.. (different types for EU and US. cars.) A nice new chromed ORIGINAL bumper costs overhere about 400Efor a bumper and 950E for anew layer of chrome.. (copper/nickel/chrome.) In total i got 8 bumpers left, they are 240z and 1 set i know is 260z.. chrome is not perfect but on the outside they are not rusty.

Would more likely be a 1989 car… ( the 300zxtt came out late '89..)

What a scammm...

You can Always check if the energy company gives you the amps they promised you?

This conversation remembers me to one time a friend measured the internal resistance of the electric network… with in that time a common analog meter... the pointer on that meter acted like a fan! As we say in the Netherlands: schoenmaker blijf bij je leest! Translated: something like: shoemaker stick to your own profession? As schoolfriends we both bought a new analog multimeter... i'm proud to say: mine is still working on my bench… the secret? Look twice (!!!!) at how your leads are plugged in, then look if the thing you are going to test is free of load. not sure measure the voltage first and remember, capacitors hold voltage! But electronics is'nt something you learn in a few month's.. To measure the injection system of a 280z of zx, a oscillograf would be much better….

Just for fun… i put it on "marktplaats.nl" for sale.. It;s going to be interesting, has only 85317 km on it.. today new brakepads all around for the first time in 27 years! ( few years ago it had a set of new pads in the front only) It has it's 4th battery and 3th set of tires.. still the Original exhaust… it's a be-autiful car… ? new APK (MOT) for a year, (till 24-09-2019) Paint perfect, interior perfect leather and alcantara is perfect... need i go on about it? ?

Better buy a good used.. It is a lottery to repair it, if you never have opened a gearbox, it;s a big risk.. but on the other hand, if you have the parts laying around just try to repair it, you learn a lot.

Very coinsidential.. my 300 go's APK or as the english say: MOT today.. for a month or so driving it... and when winter comes it go's into wintersleep.. for the 27th time!

A long screwdriver between the spot you want to hear and your ear, just lay your ear to listen against the top of the handle.. it works..

With headphones it is very clear to hear..

At a certain airspeed something starts to vibrate, maybe it's in the air mass meter. Take the airfilter and stuff in front of it off and look if it's gone.. For the running of the engine, got an airleak? it's not running well..

Don't think they got that one for that price, and with warranty. I hope for you they do .. let us know!

In Europe.. these days it's more like 1500 euro for a garanteed good 5 speed.... who is selling them for 450 pounds or euro? I've seen none lately. Prices have exploded... The only one i see here in the Netherlands is a 5 speed from Greece for 750 euro? no warranty and shipping is an awful lot of money i guess?? It's a good but used one.. yeah right...

See nothing.. wheee.. only a black box with white cross..

I'm sure the dutch/euro version of the 240z came with the stone guard.. They lasted not very long in our weather…. and were thrown away. My very Original 280zx 1979 has one to! (still in my cellar/parts shop hahaha… I got an Original stone guard plate for you if you want one ….. so you can now get a supporter of my restoration ?
