I made a account to follow the 300zx tt's and i'm not gonna do anything and leave the site.. interesting what's gonna happen.... (I had an offer on mine and was much more than i paid for it so i looked at BAT and there they are even (a lot) more.. I'm in no hurry to sell, it was 15 when i bought it and now it's 30! years old! And never restored and almost as new.. 🙂 ) -
JEP! this morning i got a mail to strengthen my password..pfff...
-
Does not matter if you give full throttle, only in our minds it helps haha.. i often doe it myself at cold start.. Just pull the choke completely when very cold weather..
-
The place were the outer lining of the cable is connected is maybe lose at the choke-knob in your mid-console?
-
When i take a good look on that tip.. it closes something.. as it has a rounded scoring on it.. i would think it's out of a solonoid..
-
Take care for the edge of the hole as this will rust, use a good anti-rust paint in there.. Btw.. did you glue the rubber also (on the top edge .. inside) ? I once did some new rubber on my 240z bumper and they looked a bit wobbly, still do a bit.. next time i use a black rubber sort of glass/windscreen glue to let them sit snug to the chrome.. also protects against water in between that.. unfortunately it made a rusty spot now on my right side rear bumper part..sigh... My painter (your paintershop to?) has 2 sorts of black rubber glue-ie stuff.. one hardens to rubber and one stays a bit sticky.. I would use the last one.. easy to correct.
-
Yeah.. and why were those stupid weights on the list? because they had to make them anyway! The question that comes up... HOW MANY fairlady's were driven with those (To me.. damn ugly... ) things on? 😮
-
If we take a look at the Original.... the fairlady in Japan... it has no overriders... it's a USA thing.. regulations rules rules.... rules... But hey... some like those blinds on the rear window, others prefer modern wheels on a classic.. everyone his/her thing.. 👍
-
I think i've seen more than 3-4 different "bumperettes" on usa cars.. personally i love the "without those bumperettes" look.. In Europe and Japan they don't have those extra "weights" on.. and.. i don't think it would matter when in a collision.. haha.. i left them off and sold them! 😉 Oh .. the holes for the bolts? (from where the bumperettes would sit.) there are original rubber thingy's for that!
-
You have to watch out you don't cross thread it.. first take of the line and screw the line into the brakecylinder then carfully make the bend and install the line. With a bit care you manage to make that corner.. 🙂 Always look for the R and L on the em.brake hook.. the bleed nipple should always be at the top.. otherwise you can't bleed them well. (i can't really tell from your pic that it's in the right way installed..)
-
Sometimes there were prankers that put some weard parts in a pile of parts that the new guy took from a car at the painters.. Always fun to see what they do with it! 😁 The part you show here ... i never seen such a thing..
-
Looks GOOD! I had a box ful of stuff i cleaned and took it to a firm here in s'Heerenberg Netherlands and when i went i grabbed a VERY dirty with tar painted very rare 280zx engine under shield and they cleaned it for me! see the result.. (sorry no pic of the tar painted one but you can see that the tar preserved the part well as you can see after 40+ years!! These shields are often disgarded after a repair or service.. haha, mine still had it on!! Tells me that the prev. owner took really care of it.

Hi, I don't know the dimensions but.. with a little mirror you can probably see the old holes were the mirror should go! Wind down the glass and i think you can see the (closed) holes were the mirror ones was. My 240z has no orig. mirrors so i wouldn't know.. would be nice if someone could tell were the 2 holes are measured from the edge of the top rail thingy.. 🙂 Maybe with a picture of it.. with a measuring tape on it.
-
I was laughing out very loud when i saw this Hihi ... but you finished the job! Yeah, soldering can be a challenge! In my mind the 2 spades were more wider.. maybe you could cut half the inside parts of them and bow the outer part of the spades to the outside and solder those to the 2 ends of the defect glass fuse. Use a soldering element of about 30-40 watt or a good regulated one otherwise you will break the glass.. again
-
In the 1980's i had to learn soldering some wires to ReVox A77 and B77 taperecorder heads.. just enough heat to make a perfect connection.. i soldered A LOT but those were the most problematic.. But after a few ones i got the OK from my colleges. plukked from the internet.. 😉 The wires need to have a nice blob of shiny tin on them.. A little to much heat and your really are F---ed! 🤬
-
I'm sure the cover is not gonna fit.. If i had no fuses anymore i would simply solder a new one (spade) onto the old broken fuse.. (maybe take a bit off of the fuse spades first..) So don't throw those old fuses away, they make a perfect platform to solder the new fuse to. (And no one else thought about this.. hihi.. 🙊)

I just looked in my garage for a set of needles i saved from a set of hmb carbs but i can't find them.. (I'm sure i saved them in a little box like were you store some thread making tools in..) BUT.... I do have here 1 HBM-46W carburetor from a '73 DUTCH car i'm 100 eh.. 99,90% sure.. It's in a very dirty state, comes from under a pile of junk that was cleaned away after the junkyard was cleaned up.. actually there was a complete 240z under a enormous pile of steel junk and... they scrapped it!! They only bothered to take out the engine and gearbox.. wich i bought in the 2010's or so.. Let me know if your interested in this carb.. not expensive just a nice price.. (I'm sure it has never been opened up.. or messed with!)
-
Ofcourse.. if the axle of the distributor is old crap... you get that.. After 50 years of neglect the timing is all over the place. Maintenance is important.
-
Wow.. you got a big spacer on there! Normal would be a 3th of the thickness i think.. Never seen these pullies but i think it's a 2 pullie with a single one screwed to it? that one on top (on front) you probably can take off.. Then you can still use the orig. bolt to put it back on the engine, you could check the depth of the hole in the crankshaft to check if there is enough space for the bolt-length. but i guess that there would be no problem. Make sure you tighten that bolt with a torque wrench (over 200Nm? no don't know howmuch bigfootsquareinch and feets that is haha) I assume that the whole set of pullies is balanced by balancing the 2 and 1 pullie separate so that would be okay!

I'm driving now for 22 years on points with my 240z and last year i put in some new points after 25000+ km's.. Not because it ran bad.. just to be sure it's good.. The old ones were still nice.. if i hear all the trouble with pertronix i'll never buy that junk.. My 240z left me ones standing beside the road.. and that was because it had no fuel.. going up the hill !! 😂
-
Thanks Cliff ! I will read that one time i think... It's on time.. those little hats i still have to buy, as the last ones i had i used in my L28 last year.
-
Many Thanks guys, if i ever gonna use that camshaft, i remember this topic. IT's a DRILLED one! (I had to unpack it and it has the little holes in the cam's! (i was curious..)) I do have a old L24 spare engine that came in the 80's out of a scrap 240z in the Netherlands and lays completly apart and looks as if it has done 50k Km's haha.. so i could build me a racer engine besides the orig. engine that is still in my '71 car.. Do i need the extra delivering oil pump for this.. because that one was also in that deal? (New in box)... many years ago..
-
WOW !!!! AND it's called a SLalom !!! Thanks HS30-H ! (I could not find your first name..) Thanks again!! The most exciting thing is i got it complete with all the parts needed to install it, even the paperwork! Now i ask myself.. what was the price of such a camshaft in those days..? Mart
-
@Carl Beck After years comming back to this item... It really says: E1031 so it IS a RARE part i think? I got this complete with the 12 special lash pads and paperwork! So... how rare is it really? How i got the part? I bought a lot of parts of a Jaguar garage that had a 240z in service many many years ago and now i have some nice rare parts .. It says sLalom on the box writen but that must be SALOM i guess.. I wonder why no one can tell me what it is.. exactly.. and can i use it in a L24 or L26 or L28 ??
