I need a radiator for my stock 73 Z. I would like to find one with the small fan shroud on top like the original. Where is the best place to buy one? Thanks Robert H Florida

I am ready to buy carpet for my 72 240Z. What vendor offers the best quality? I have seen several new sets offered on ebay but I don't feel comfortable going that route. Any suggestions? Thanks Robert

Hey Chris! I have been to the import autos, dealer,machine shops and driveshaft shops with no luck! I can re-use my old one if I have to, but would really like to fix it while the car is apart. If I find a solution, I'll let you know Robert Hudson Lakeland

The engine is out of my 1970 240Z and I noticed the steering universal joint has a small amount of wear. I would like to replace it but cannot find any one who has one. The manufacturer is Torrington and the part number is NSA0240A. I called the Torrington rep who said these UV joints are only sold in Japan. NISSAN does not sell them anymore. can anyone help?? Thanks RobertH Florida

I need a new battery for my 240Z. I have heard good things about the OPTIMA battery. Do you recommend? Does the mounting arrangement change? What is the part number for the correct OPTIMA battery for a 240Z? The dealer does not have the 240Z listed in his book so I am counting on the experience of this forum thanks for your help RobertH Florida

just small traces of water on oil pump gear..could see no evidence of water in oil when I changed oil this weekend. I guess you could tell that i am getting frustrated and wondering that the reason I got such a good deal is because the guy I purchased the car from must have given up trying to figure it out .When I got it come, I noticed that the distributor cap wires were off one, and I thought the guy had installed the wired incorrectly so I moved the wires and then found the oil pump shaft off from description, then removed oil pump..(3 times now) I will do compression check on all this week. thanks for your help, Carl Robert

Carl took the oil pump out again and moved one tooth to position you recommended..could time the car, but only after removing distrib bolt so could advance.. The car sounded fine but no way to hold distrib in place without the bolt. The oil pump is now back in the position per the service manual and cannot time it I bought this car this way thinking it was only a tune up away from being a great running car. saw some traces of water in oil so think may need a head gasket..what else could make this car run so rough???? thanks Robert Hudson

thanks, Carl..I did replace the dist cap etc..I will check the other again. thanks RobertH

I have a 1972 240Z that starts up and seems to run a little shakey.Took the plug wire off the number 1 cylinder and notice no difference in idle. Replaced coil, plugs, conds, wires, points, etc with no diff. Discovered oil pump and drive shaft were out of phase and not lined up properly by indication marks. Aligned then re-installed the oil pump shaft per service manual..car stiil running on 5 cylinders: cannot time engine with timimg light and have to advance to get it to idle smooth. Also notice spitting light amount of liquid out rear exhaust. number one compression is 130 compared to 170 for number 2. The distributor rotor is pointed a little past number one when marks on crank pully are aligned on TDC. could this be a blown head gasket or in need of valve job? Or what do you think???? thanks RobertH

To increase the performance of my 1972 Z car is an engine/tranny swap from a later model Z a good idea or should I just have the current engine rebuilt and add a 5 spd? What later model Z's engines/transmissions would fit without modifications to my car? thanks Robert Hudson Lakeland, Florida

I would be interested in one of these factory authorized restored cars with all documentation if anyone has or knows of one for sale thanks RobertH

This car has been on e-bay several times with no bids and I wonder why it has not sold. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2467973678&category=6187 I was under the impression that these factory restored cars were brought back to 100% and the odo was turned back to 0000. The ad claims over 50,000 miles. Is the price too high? What is one of the factory approved reconditioned 240Zs worth?

I want to keep my 70 240Z as original looking as possible and looking for a good quality seat covers. Who has the best original seat cover kits ?? thanks RobertH

Are you telling me there are legit factory ZG cars in the states?I am sure there are serial numders and ways to detect a fraud??? I would not expect to find a REAL ZG on e-bay but I guess you never know. .I am new to the forum (70 240Z)and have plenty to learn about these great cars. Thanks for the info RobertH Lakeland, Florida

How much (American dollars please) do you think one would pay to acquire a stock ZG? Can they be imported into the states if you could not find one here? thanks RobertH Lakeland, Florida
