I just got my new 71 , and I am getting ready to take the car to get painted < choosing colors and getting seals and such > and I wanted to know where and what emblems were on the 71 , I know the datsun hood emblem and the roof pilar ones but wasn't sure which style was on the fender bottoms and what is correct for the hatch , Thanks Jeff

good to hear i will be very specific about what i seek , don't to do this twice

thats is very funny , but you know there is always somebody on ebay buying the grounding kits that add 15 hp , bet it was those guys :stupid:

i saw a set datsunrestore.com for 229.95 and that was a16 piece set has anyone used their stuff or know if its actual nissan stuff because all their other stuff is , gonna email them as well but just was seeing id anyone has used them before, thanks

I am getting ready to get my new z painted and we are gonna remove all the glass , was hoping someone had purchased them from someone as a set and had some expierence with the install as in weither they fir correctly and such espciall with the chrome trim around the front and rear glass, too intense restoration ? midwest z , courtesty ? msa? bv? any help would be greatly appreciated want to make the right purchase to get the car done correctly , thanks in advance JEff

yea you should have no prob I am 6'3 and my brother is 6'4 and neither have any issues , but getting out requires a bit of art work sometimes

I was hoping to stay around the 2 thousand or less but not sure if its possible , I might be in for a shock because it been quite a while since i had a car painted , I will have to adjust the budget as necessary

Anyone have suggestions for painter they know or have used? Orlando area here but willing to drive and hour or so if worth it. thanks

Hello all , I just picked up a second addition to our home a very nice 71 240z from one of our members , the prob is the brake pedal is very hard when pressure is applied just like when the brake booster has gone bad but it doesn't raise the idle like one of my past z 's did when the booster went bad. Could it still be the booster or maybe the checkvalve? Any suggestions would be great , thank you

ditto sell the the flat tops on ebay )

quite simple look on motorsports website and they list diffrent part numbers for them , as well as victoria british , but yes Carl is correct again , ALL HAIL CARL

Sorry about that savannah with the dizzy stuff , the resistor is exactly as you described you can check that with a electric current reader to see if its working correctly , I think you may want to just recheck connections at the fuel pump , I know my brothers 74 has an electric fp and the sound varries with the car not running but ignition on. Alot of the spec and info on double checking timing and gap of the points are in many shop manuals , a very good investment, also might be a cold case of beer for Will if you can get him over to help you out as well , check the wires around the distributor there will be i think 2 and also a resistor on the side as well as in the distributor if the connections get corroded or loose it can case problems like this , good luck

I assume you ment the tach was jumping around , i doubt it is the alternator, first check the basics < timing , points and rotor if you are running standard ignition> i would then check coil and the ballast , if you feel confident also check the dizzy for excessive play , another possiblity is a loose ground or wire , but if was betting i would stay with the ignition having something bad or loose , a bit more inof on the car as in year mods stock engine and such might help as well, Jeff

between 1.98 to 2.10 depends on how much shopping you want to do

when i tried it gave me 10 and 15 dollars shipping email him and see if he made a mistake, but like all ebay stuff its turning very much into buyer beware

ROFLOL gotta tell the future wife the kitchen one ,, hold on I do all the cooking hhhm

oh yes its terribly true both have z's as well and our father is thinking of trading in his max for a G35 coupe , we both will be fighting to drive that one

hmm might want to read the manual dumb arse relatives <his brother here >

also remove the bulb as well and clean the connections at the bulb and rear harness , also test the circuit to see if you are getting any juice when the brakes are applied to that bulb socket first then work your way back

HMM my two cents are double check your ground wire as well as your positive connection on the starter< both must be very clean >, if you haven't already while the battery is disconnected remove the fuse box clean the back and all termals and spray with a sealer , I had very simliar problems and solved them by replacing my fuse box. If the battery isn't run down < would hurt to charge it a bit > check to be sure the starter is engaging , but if the battery is good and the starter is good other than connections not being clean either it should turn over or not when the key is turned , good luck

i believe if you search the posts there was one recently about putting h-4 lamps which are an exact fit but they also did some wiring upgrades and had really great results

I am sure this could be modified for a z car use. Pretty funny stuff . http://www.angelfire.com/nc2/mycoffeecan/page1.htmlhttp://www.angelfire.com/nc2/mycoffeecan/page1.html

Congrats Mr.K and hopefully many more , doubt you will read it but if ya do more to ya

hhhm Queensland huh , lots of beach to surf and fish from , doesn't sound to bad , if Ivan comes our way i think a vacation is in order , yea the midwest also sounds good , maybe vegas :laugh:

If you were just switching motors i would say a week or 3 days maybe even with the tank , but what i think will take the most time of the wiring and the dash , just little parts and bolts that break and need to be replaced as mentioned before , I would take lots of pictures and document it all , its amazing how much things look diffrent when off the car, I think alot of it as well is how anal you are about how nice the finish product is , I took two weeks just on carbs and intake , getting parts and polishing , and also like mentioned above it depends on how much free time you have and if you are married or if you have limited space to do the job , good luck
