Triple WEBER 40 DCOE, New
I have new, never used, but sitting indoors for a long time (7-10 years) Triple WEBER 40 DCOE caberators and cannon intake. This was purchased with a project 240z that never came to fruition. I purchased within the full lot with the car. Will come with a tripple air filter, BUT the mesh is completely dry rot and falling apart, i will try to source a new one. Image is what is looks like. not the actual one. Asking $2200, + shipping Located in Gilber AZ

Genuine Webers or Chinese made?
I cant see as the images arent that great but it doesnt look like it. So it looks like im in the clear. thank you. I think i'll sell these and it it should basically pay for the the entire purchase. https://www.ebay.com/itm/362788048942

Genuine Webers or Chinese made?
There are some on eBay that a I found a carburetor company on eBay that have newer ones for sale made in China vs made in spain. They are about 1/2 the price.

Genuine Webers or Chinese made?
I just bought about 2 1/2 cars off someone from a failed project that has been sitting for 7-10 years. The purchase came with these webers. I think they are genuine spain made but i want to get more opinions that know more about this stuff. They have a red cage that covers the intakes but the foam was dry rot so i took it off. I would be looking to sell these potentially as im probaby going down the road of fuel enjection anyways.

buying 240z vs current 280z
thank you! i am was getting ready to sandblast the 280z. i know the metal is thin but didnt think about early z's being more sensitive. I think im going to get it because i think all my extra parts i could sell and recoup some money. I have to double check but i think it comes with 3 weber carberators that are new or re-built. depending on if they are clean, im getting the entire lot for less than what those cost.

buying 240z vs current 280z
I'm currently in a predicament where i have the option to buy a dissasembled early vin (under 9000) 240z body and all its components for a decent price... my predicament is i have a 280z which im working on and in a very similar state but the body has seen better days and i've already put work/$ into it, and it needs alot more. Should i buy the 240 and swap to that? what would you say the <9000 VIN 240z would be worth? not much rust at all. most of its been repaird. just light rust from sitting for a few years. (will be sand blasting regardless) my issue is i will have boxes and 2 chassis on rotisseries. lol

What size bolts will fit?
They are 10mm x 1.25. I'm not reusing the old hardware so i made my own chase with one of the old bolts and that cleaned them up. thank you for everyones help.
-
What size bolts will fit?
There were 10 mm bolts in the holes but the thread was wrong and they only went in about 3/4 of a turn
-
What size bolts will fit?

240z turn signal lights

240z turn signal lights
I have a 280z and im adding a body kit which uses the 240z rounded turn signals in the front. I've been looking around and can barely find any. Most for sale are $200+. is that the case? why are they so expensive!? I am finding a few forums from 5+ years ago people selling them for $50 and so on. I would think aftermarket Repo's would be cheaper.

Identify this transmission?
Thank you Zed, I didnt take any good pictures of the transmission yet, so i zoomed in on from another photo. I think it is the 4 speed F4w71B. I think i remember seeing the plate with 6 bolts infront of the shifter. Doing more research mine is a 01/77 build so its more than likely a 4 speed. Once I'm closer to finishing the build i think i'll try to buy a 5 speed.
-
Identify this transmission?
I'm in the middle of a restoration and I want to confirm what transmission I have. I would get markings off the trans but I'm out of town. Is it a 4 or 5 speed? Came out of a 1977 280z. When driving it I only had 4 gears but I felt like there should have been 5 but it wouldnt go in.

Salvageable?
Thanks for the input! The dash is a big project and i think im going to spend my time on the body of the car for now and set this aside. More than likely ill buy a new one vs repairing this one. there are so many issues with this one its beyond saving i think. might get a cracked one with only a few cracks vs 100.
-
Salvageable?
I'm pretty confident I can fill most the cracks... But one of the previous owners glued on a cover and there's a lot of rubber style glue everywhere
-
This isn't factory correct?
It does feel like a thick rubbery substance that looks to be brushed on. the passanger side has this as well and is most certainly does have rust to the point i will be replacing the floor pan. Might be doing both sides it looks like.
-
This isn't factory correct?
I was about to go get some dry ice to work on clearing old sound deading but I found this under the carpet. This isn't factory correct? As long as I don't find rust on the underside side I think I'll leave it. Looks too hard to remove fully. Or suggestions are welcome.

Floor pans, help me choose
Thanks for the imput, I am going back and forth between the options. I know i'll have to do fabriation work to get the Z depot floors to fit, but I dont mind fab work. I just dont know if theres more of a pain getting seat rails mounted or other obstacles that will creat a conflict. I just got a 1977 280z as a project and the previous owner decided the best way to make his car look dfferent was to add about 200 pounds of bando so i feel you on that. gotta love a good project.

Floor pans, help me choose
I am needing to replace my right side (passenger) floor as there are a few spots of rust. I will be replacing the seat rails as well. I am looking at the Z Car Depot and kfvintagejdm floor pans. The KF floor pans look to be exact molds of the OEM parts while the Z car depot are less detailed aftermarket style. I dont care to keep my car looking OEM and the Z car depot are 1/2 the price about. anyone have expierence with these two options and why i shouldnt go with the Z car depot option? (plus for me would be the Z car depot gives the left side as well if i need for almost the same price as one side of the KF pans) https://zcardepot.com/collections/sheet-metal/products/floor-pan-replacement-sheet-metal-240z https://kfvintagejdm.com/shop/datsun-280z/complete-right-side-floor-pan-datun-280z/

hard time researching wheels that will fit.
I am in the process of restoring a 280z where i will be adding the Rocket Bunny kit. This kit adds 4 inches to the width of the car so i will be adding larger tires. I've been doing research and found a few articles about current builds with this kit and they are running 17x9.5, -15 off set (FRONT), 17/10, -25 offset (BACK). or similar with 16 inch wheels all with the stanard bolt pattern 4:114.3/4:4.5 I am trying to find options and basically cant unelss they are completly custom which i probably dont want to afford. I technically found a way to do it with 5:120 bolt pattern and a more typical offset around +25 but i would be running 50mm spacers which isnt the best idea. I do like the deep lip offset look of the tires which i would lose by doing this. any suggestions?

Can you replace headlights without taking of headlight bucket?
Man this guy wasnt a good welder. Instead of cleaning up the welds he just added 1/2 inch of bondo to smooth over it. Luckily 70% of the welds didn't even penetrate so they were easy to cut off
