Mr Camouflage

That statement is a bit ambiguous in the context of the question. Let me clarify. No, all models did not have the front indicators that shamus11 is referring to. Regarding Australian 240z's. They did not have the rear side markers, or the side marker type indicators. The 240z guards didnt even have the cutout for the side indicators. They had the indicators with clear lenses in the lower panel under the headlight bucket. Some time in 73 euro style indicators mounted to the bumpers were added Then with the 260Z (1974) the side marker type indicators were added. Sound like your car has its original guards shamus11 No you dont have to have them (No legal requirement for them for your year of 240z). Lots of 240z's that have been "restored" have used guards from 260z's which have the side indicators, or maybe you've looked at alot of pictures of US cars or late 73 cars. No Australian 240's or 260'z had the rear marker either. No legal requirement for that either. What year is your car? The first car is an early 240z, then theres a 260z 2+2, 3rd car is #803, green is a 73 (with euro style bumper indicators). Cant recall what the red car was.

heres a link for you http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NISSAN-240Z-260Z-280ZX-GAZELLE-FRONT-GAS-CARTRIDGES_W0QQitemZ4631858587QQcategoryZ32063QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Is that a brake bias adjuster? (2nd photo)

Theres a guy on ebay selling cheap shocks. AC Delco brand , had front 240Z shocks for $59 at the moment. Try searching ebay to find his member id and ask him if he can get rear shocks.

Heres another 240K Sedan on ebay. 3 owner car. Starting at .99 cents. Reserve is $1300. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/1976-DATSUN-240K-SEPT-REGO_W0QQitemZ4631849812QQcategoryZ102220QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Aparently he "upgraded" to a VK commodore. Strange to call a technically inferior car an upgrade (Live axle rear, pushrod OHV engine, cast iron head).

nevermind, he's fixed it now.

Yeah, thought he was the guy in Malaysia. Scarce doesnt always mean its worth something.

My car is waiting to be born again

That dude should just get picture of Jesus airbrushed onto the bonet, and keep the car. Probalby should replace the flames while hes at it, with something a little more heavenly. Like clouds or something. Obviously hasnt heard the Ministry song "Jesus built my hotrod". Cant be much of a Ministry fan.

I would say its worth less than it would cost to have it shipped to the USA. L20A's and 05L heads are nothing special.

Why dont you send him a PM and ask him.

I wouldnt want to be driving your car.:eek:

There was one on ebay (in melbourne) for AU$500. it never sold.

Actually I just had a closer look. and the interior photo isnt even a C110. Notice the side window isnt a one piece like a 240K should be. and there is 2 gear sticks (gear and hi-lo sticks). I'd guess the photos got mixed up, and its a patroll or 4wd ute (like a 720) interior. Door panel is wrong, door handle, and the bonet is red.

I'd guess thats its a C210 or R30 dash. Probably from the car the engine came from. The handle reminds me of a partol dashboard though.

Heres another one with a turbo L20 and GT tail lights. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Datsun-240k-4-Door_W0QQitemZ4628159361QQcategoryZ45571QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

My 240Z is a H530 sedan !!!!

I dont get it. If that a reference to time travel, how about McFly S30 = 240z,260z,280z shape. S130 = 280zx shape. The S130 was called ZX in exports markets, but in Japan it was called the Fairlady 280z So there are there are 2 different types of 280Z, and I believe some of the fairlady 280z's came to Australia (WA at least, as i've seen some, including a 2 seater) in the 80's as second hand imports, and were sold in used car dealerships along with cordias, rx-7's, my mums corona coupe, and the R30 skyline coupe she should have bought.

Yeah there's at least 1 S30 280Z in Australia. Gee (His member name here has/had one). It was/is a black or dark blue (S30) 280z 2+2 with the big ugly bumpers. From what i can recall it was brought over by a American stationed in the NT somewhere ages ago, and was left behind. I had a link to pictures, but the link is dead. So using the wayback machine: http://web.archive.org/web/20050228183257/http://members.datafast.net.au/~sg4/280zlhd.htm

works fine for me: www.wazcars.com or www.wazregister.com what problem are you having?

I dont get whats so hard about it. At the top of ever forum page there is a navigation (sometimes called "breadcrumbs" in the industry) that tells you exactly what forums you are in. eg at the top of this page it says: Classic Zcar Club > CHIT-CHAT FORUMS > Open General Discussions These are links to the forum sections. below that is either the title of the thread you are viewing, or the name of the subforum if you are not viewing a particular thread. When hitting new thread, i check that i'm in the right forums. If i'm not I use the breadcrumbs forum link to go to the right forum. I dont see how it could be any easier.

Ummm, my hood is hanging on the garage wall, so its either the wall or the floor, depending on which way you look at it

Wasnt there a "NISSAN 2300" or "NISSAN 2300 OHC" valve cover from the Datsun Super 6 (P130) (on an L23 obviously). Think I remember seeing one of those too.

Yeah early valve covers had the engine size on them. 2000 for a 2 litre, 2400 for a 2.4.

I didnt even notice the report bad post link. I usually just hassle the poster a bit about posting in the wrong forum. If you make the poster aware they are doing the wrong thing they might get the message, rather thatn having a moderator move or delete the post without fixing the source of the problem. Correct me if i'm wrong Victor, but when you delete or move a post, the poster isn't (informed via email or whaterer) by the system that they made a boo boo, and their posr is delete or moved.
