Glad your oké.. physically... It will be a little longer before it's out of your system.. but you will drive later on with no worry's... I once (2 years ago..) went round a blind corner on my motorbike, and there was a polish trucker on the wrong side of the road! I could just barely dodge the truck by driving into the grass... Then we learn not to drive relatively fast through corners that we cannot overlook !!! Still driving a big 2 wheeler....

Nice car, here in europe it could be a 25000 euro car.... but the way he put that car on a lift... if it was my car a would kick the technicians A$$ !! If you buy a car like that and its owner does not want to lift the car on the apropriat 4 jack-up points.. watch out.. Never lift a car like in these pic's . you will make dents.. as you can see.. the floors are dented inward..

I've got a few... but not under 400 euro's... And if you need a very shiny one a new chroom .... (copper..nickel..chroom layer) WILL be necessary! these bumpers are from 240/260z euro style! I symply Always say.. they are 500 euro and don't need to be sold. Why should a Ferrari bumper be 3000 euro and a datsun bumper 200 euro? there is a same amount of work in these parts. (Yeah.. i here you say, there are a lot more Datsuns then ferrari's.. oke.. find one in good condition.)

Do you have a picture of the lock on that wanted door? i've got a early 260z 2 seater door.. (red and in good condition..) also a new outer doorpanel Original nissan.. (NLA) both for sale. If you have got the lock like in pic3.. then i don't have one.. unless you could weld in the part (off of your old door) of the lock in the red one. For these and other parts.. ask me at: martzedcars@outlook.com dealing in z carparts for 25 years ;-)

I have never seen a metal 240Z emblem, except of course the c-pillar emblems are sort of metal.. (zamac it's called over here, stands for zinc,aluminum and magnesium or something.. i'm not sure.. it's a combination / alloy ,of the most impossible metals, it has to go wrong.. and if old it does! It rust from the inside out! there are bubbles of air in the metal that after many years start to look for an exit.. haha...) I've got a feb. 1971 240z and it has plastic Datsun and 240z emblems. once i had a 1972 euro style 240z and that one also had plastic datsun and 240z emblems.

someting went wrong..haha.. don't ask me how i did that!...

Does anyone know what no: 83 is? is it needed when installing fendermirrors or is it just a rubber to support the fender? (Thought i ask you guys, not inventing the wheel twice..)

UPDATE... i just bought 2 fendermirrors 96301-E4100 and 96302-E4100 and a doormirror also Original nissan 96301-E4600 All three new in a Original box.. i just can't get any better...

Yeah, a lot of money, luckily i don't have to pay any fees because they are here in this country.. :-) They are so nice it's a sin to use them haha...

Funny you say this... When my Goldwing is in the garage there is a small path round my 240z (in the wintertime) and often i have to re-adjust my door mirror (of the type "aftermarket" and not very steardy) because i hit it often when going through the narrow path.. mind you, there is no paint that i can scratch because it needs a new paintjob.... for years... (the 240z will get a resto in the next 2-3 years i think..)

Moelk, that's a lot of money for some mirrors man... wow.. I'm also thinking of .... when i buy this new set, am i gona use them on my restoration car? it's almost a sin to use them huh?

THANKS Guys, i think... i think... i'm gona buy them... pfff... they are new in the Original box.. (Thanks for the info!) Has anyone installed a brakecilinder RH on the left side? (i have 2 new cylinders but are both RH) can it be done with a little persuasion/fiddling?

And while were asking questions.. has someone ever build in a R rear brake cylinder on the left side.. i have a set of R hand RH rear brake cilinders, with a little mod. could it work also on the Left side? (a little work on the bottom plate to fit and bleeding it would be a little bit more difficult i think because the breather is pointing downward... oeps... Obviously these are 2 RH cylinders...

here is a pic..

Today i got offered a set of Original fender mirrors IN ORIGINAL NISSAN BOX... what should i pay for these new (!!!) parts.. 96301-E4100 and 96302-E4100 !!! they are long stalk and dull black in color..

I studied mine and is the 2e pic.. the T has a left and right blunt ends were the other has an angle on them.. this (blunt ends) emblem is from a later 260z i think and was, the last time i checkt no longer available, can cost a 100$.... (btw, i've got a brand new one in plastic..

OH.. i see what your problem is in the picture: it says: "Made in Italy" sorry couldn't help myself.. (I HATE italian junk!!) eh but seriously.. if the valves are closed in your carbs, there must be some other air intake.. also known as leaks... ;-)

I realy don't know much about the paintlayers.. i know mine gets first a sealer (rust inhibitor), then spray filler, metallic paint and blank laquer twice.. CAN ANYBODY HERE HELP ?

Hello sisask, Welcom here... By 4 layers you mean the paint layers? oh well there are enough people here who know alot of that and i could ask my painter also.. I'm restoring a 280zx and should also be ready in march, 2018.. but it's at the painter for a year or so now hahaha i'm in no hurry and so is he! Tell us what it is you want to know.. BTW (by the way..) We here in the Netherlands had a big car show, could be bigger than the one in sweden, (when i see those 4 halls..) the MECC in Maastricht is 35000 m2 big... https://www.interclassicsmaastricht.nl/en/ Greetings from the Netherlands, Mart

yeah and these are DUTCH! we rock....

Funny thing is... the front rozettes or bumperrettes (or whatever you would call e'm ) are the left one sits now on the right and vice versa, and upside down! on the car... no one else sees this? oh well ....

No,no... not at all.. put it in the files.... Maybe someone can enhance these digitally.. Mart

Here i've got a copy of the fiches Datsun 240z / 260z s30 (euro version ?) I'ts readable... Fich0001.pdf Fich0002.pdf Fich0003.pdf Fich0004.pdf Fich0005.pdf

The L24 i was talking about has serial Nr: L24-180723 and came out of a '73 Dutch version 240z. I believe it's one of the last L24's ?? ( Almost sure it's a all Original block.. the car where it came out of was sitting on a junkyard under a enormous pile of junk..for about 25 years... in the early '10's that had to go because the yard was no longer to be and they discovered this car... (It's now on a new location) The son of the owner looked at it and was not surprised by it, he bellowed to his dad on a crane: Shall we throw it in the press or save the engine of it? It got saved.. the car... sadly no... they did'nt know what they were throwing away.... ) On the pic you see that these are flat tops.. no fly cuts.

I've got a '73 complete engine with the E88 head, it's the deeper head, but the pistons are flat with no cut-outs.. no flycut... I'm pretty sure that it is a euro version 240z engine L24.
