Please try to avoid ZCar Depot until they stop ripping off and duplicating other people's products. Currently many in the Z community are doing this.

Or run the ignition through a fake cigarette lighter and just take it with you to disable the circuit.

Hey Jim, New wheels are $600-$800. Here in NS a set of slotted mags would be $200-$400 ($50 USD lol). I bet you could get $500-$600 if you do them to the same standard as your car and get them balanced w/o tires (just grind a bit on the side opposite to where the wheel balance machine says to add weight). This extra step would add marketing value when you sell. It would set them apart from the pack. Philip Janet says hi to you and V!

Many thanks Chris, The document arrived a few days ago and was an excellent read! Here is an item related to Nissan Resurrection Project that may be of interest to others. Here is the checklist: Dealer_Factory 240Z Restoration program.pdf

Removing rotor is easiest. Replacing rotor with one 180 degrees out of phase is easier than moving plugs around. When I used to race bicycles, we used to loosen wheel hub cam locks when having to leave the bike for a moment to prevent hop-and-go thieves from going far. A little bit of manual effort but worth it. For a fuel method that is not pump related: SU: 1. Drop jets and jam with a fat C shaped washer to lock them lower and flood car. 2. Make fake SU plungers that are extra long and prevent the pistons from rising. ECU: Install a fake connector into the harness near the thermostat housing and plug it into the temperature sensor when you want the plugs to foul.

WOW! SF hill climbing, pulling parts from a crate, at track with BRE... incredible!

France,Japan, Indonesia, Hungary, China?

The exhaust looks nice. Is it manufactured in Malaysia?

FYI We requested permission to use the Datsun and Nissan logos on our car club hats, bags, shirts, etc. back in 2003. Nissan Canada kindly granted it to our club. Nice people there!

There is a drain hose for the antenna that goes through the body below the antenna. Usually the hose is long gone and it leaves a hole. You may want to look there. Also the rubber flaps that seal the rear hatch vents often curl up and prevent sealing. Lots of early Z exhaust pictures here:

Redwing, Have a peek at this electrical connection near the front of the engine on the drivers side just behind the top of the fan. It may just be loose where it connects to the thermostat housing sensor. Coming loose or simply corrosion on the connectors is the usual suspect when 280z's run rich. The pigtail also has bullet connectors at the other end that can corrode or come loose but problems with the bullet connectors are less common. It would be good practice for you or your neighbour to check these connections. For your fouled plugs, either replace or clean really well with carb cleaner and a brush. Be sure to clean deep down in the space between the ceramic insulator and the metal body.

I read that Brock suffered car failures at the 1969 ARRC at Daytona due to fuel delivery. I noticed that in 1970 he seemed to dead head fuel to each weber with an individual fpr near each carb. Dan Parkinson (15) & Brian Fuerstenau (4) Is the high bank issue related to the fuel pump having to work harder to pull/push fuel up to the engine under the extra G forces caused by the turn (causing a lean feed to all carbs)? Is the float also part of the issue where it, the needle, and the fuel would both be pulled towards the bottom of the bowl and thus causing a higher fuel level? Or would it simply be the fact the cars would run WOT on the straights and continue at or near WOT in the turns thus demanding more fuel for a longer period of WOT time and possibly emptying the fuel bowls by consuming more than the stock design could supply?

Glad to help! I bought the digitized version of Canada Track and Traffic Traffic. The photo is from Feb 1970 issue.

Flogging the horse: Here is a photo of the 240z at the Jan. 1970 Montreal car show along with a blurb from the article. Also included is a photo of a model on a car at the same 1970 Montreal Car Show next to the Honda and Toyota displays. Now you know the whole story of Bob Sharp's crushed roof Z HLS30-00006!

It was the abomination of an experimental mating between a GT-R's front and a mash-up of the A to D Prototypes. The Z-like beast then went on to terrorize Turkey for 2 years!

From Bob via GnoseZ: Bob received his green 240z car in late January / early February after the roof was crushed at a car show in Canada. It was brought from Canada.to NJ for him to retrieve there. So the green car with Goertz at the NYC show with the over-rider bar was a replacement on the show car circuit. BIG THANKS TO (GNOSEZ) THE DESIGNER AND MANUFACTURER OF BADDOG FRAME RAILS FOR Z'S! This would be Bob's car. Note the white wall tires like on the red 240z at ARRC and also on the silver 240z on R&T Jan. HLS30-00006 HLS30-00007 HLS30-00008

I don't know enough yet to agree or disagree. He says he did not have one when he was at the NYC show in a few interviews and it is also stated on the Nissan web site; so unless he is pulling our legs or never corrected a misquote then one has good reason to believe him as seeing a Z for the first time and then acquiring one are both very memorable experiences. For me, the first time I noticed one was Dec. 1979 just before Christmas: A bright yellow one with BSR wide body kit going down the main street in Stephenville, Newfoundland... plowing through snow and rumbling. The first time I purchased one was early July, 2003..... great memories July 2003, J, Blue77, & Me. It was an informal Z lawn party gathering by a 300zx enthusiast with a couple of the new 350z's dropping in from the dealer. A 240z and my 280z were the only early types. We started the Atlantic Z Car Club that day.

It comes down mostly to filtering out what you do not want. Back in the '90's one struggled to find more content by using different search engines as there was not enough out there. Now the trick is to use different search engines, disable trend tracking, use boolean to block forced results to get any useful information. "There is gold in them there hills sonny! Just gotta dig fer it" Now if someone could verify the Summit Point 240z or 2000 ride. GnoseZ is meeting with the "horse" today so we should soon find out Standby.
