That is how I felt about the Rally Clock and Oscillator. I found one but for the money I had rather do something that effects the performance such as my MK63/vented rotor upgrade. The Rally Clock is still on my list, but moved down when I established the price. As to not worth what some people are asking, if someone is paying those prices they are worth the price. We should embrace the rising prices it only increases the value of our cars and makes it possible for reproduction part to be offered. Just my 2 cents!

Is there anyone on here from the Dallas area who could take a look at a car in that area that I am looking at? Last minute, but just found it and I do not want to make a 15 hr each way trip if it is not what it is advertised as. I will be out today and away from the computer so a call would be appreciated. 765-993-3634. Thanks JLP

No, I don't know if there is a difference or not. I probably have a used 72 or 73 handle.

I like the wires for the retaining pins. I am going to make up a set for my upgrade. Thanks for the pictures Kats. I found that the DORMAN H36866 Brake hose is the replacement part for the original Nissan hose for use for the MK63 Caliper upgrade. They are less than $10.00 each. Let me know if I can help in any way.

PM sent.

I have the complete 2 piece unmolested wiring harness made up of part numbers: 24013-N3321 24013-N3322 If interested PM me. Thanks JLP

I am looking for a NOS Choke cable for my 1972 240Z production date of 7/72. I purchased a NOS cable and found that it is for 1973 -74.

Auction ended at $602.

I need help. I am working on all of the little things that do not work on my 1972 Z (production date 7/72). My seat belt warning light is not working.I have multiple wiring schematics but none of them show the wiring for the seat belt warning light with the retractable seat belts with the pressure switch in the passenger seat. In my testing last night I have found that the circuit is open on the seat belts when they are in the retracted position and go closed when the seat belt is pulled out. The passenger seat switch is normal open closed when pressure is applied. Anyone have a working diagram of the wiring? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks JLP

It is hard to tell from the photos but it does look like the engine has been painted with Ford engine blue not Nissan engine blue. The car looks solid overall. The original interior color looks to be the blue which would require that the seat covers be replace to match. Nice Z!

The following site may be of help. https://www.searchquarry.com/vehicle_records/name_register_double_newdata.phtml?sqtb=license_plate&license_plates=2SRX221&state=CA

When I purchase the NOS MK63 calipers I did not know they were for the vented rotors. Once received and additional parts sourced I am happy as a clam! I had a set of the non vented on my race car back in the day and boiled the fluid more than once. Black Hawk Farms was famously hard on brakes. I wish I had a set of vented back in the day, but will have to settle for being lucky enough to have sourced a set now and lucky for having a member who sourced the additional parts in Japan for me.

Where this is going is Obvious Captain!Maybe a little time in the garage to bore and stroke my engine?

Once the NOS MK63 calipers were dry fitted I removed them and rebuilt them. When I disassembled them I found that the old assembly oil had gummed up in them. Cleaned and rebuilt them. I have now completed the suspension project, new progressive Eibach springs, rear sway bar, NOS emergency brake cable, and MK63 upgrade. I am waiting for the front brake lines and rear sway bar link so I can put it back down on the ground and re-fit the front sheet metal. Progress! I did find time tonight to wipe the bottom down and wax the drive shaft.

I like Chris am not complaining what so ever. The parts going up is directly related to the value of the cars due to the parts becoming scarce for proper restoration. The value of the parts has also made it possible, I talked about the necessity of this a few years ago, for reproducing some of these rare parts. In my original post I was referring to the fact that I have offered one of my 2400 valve covers to members looking for them for around what your ebay listing is at now with 5 days left and interest was lost. So I too will be putting mine on ebay to help pay for other upgrades I am looking to do on my car. I have been paying up for hard to find parts for a few years now. I bought the NOS tail light for my car at the height of the value which has come down since the introduction of the reproduction tail lights. Good luck with your auction I will be following it closely.

Chris, I agree. I too am amazed. You don't have to go back but a couple of years when you could buy parts such as the inspection light from the dealer for a few dollars.... now NOS inspection lights being priced at $300+. Amazing...

You are correct. I have two of these and have offered them on the site to avoid ebay, but when a price is mentioned crickets......thus ebay. Yours is currently about what I have priced mine at with 5 days left to go. I sale part of my stash of parts to finance new projects on the car so every cent counts. My most recent project, MK63 front calipers with vented disc has become very expensive thus my offer to sell my 2400 valve covers. Good Luck with you sale.

While returning to Indiana from my lake cabin in Tennessee yesterday, I passed a lavender 280Z broken down beside the road outside of Livingston, Tennessee. Member?

Kats, thanks! I am at the lake this weekend doing some maintenance on the cabin. Can't wait to get back on the project when I get home. This will be helpful. I will post more pictures once I get more complete. I am also excited to see the car's stance with the Eibach progressive springs installed. Thanks again for all of your support on this project.

Jason, I took a solid set of backing places made a pattern and had a metal shop modify them. I could have simply cut them down, blasted and painted them, but I wanted them to look factory. They cut and welded a lip on them for strength and to maintain the factory look. I then blasted them to prepare them for the black finish.

Suspension back with Eibach Progressive springs and I am dry fitting my MK63 parts. I want to thank a member for his help with locating the needed parts for the caliper and rotor upgrade. I dry fitted the modified backing plates, calipers, and rotors tonight. It all goes together flawlessly. I like the way the modified backing plates fit to the MK63 calipers.

Jason, PM sent earlier.

Can anyone recommend a company that reforms the covering over an existing dash? I have two dashes with minor issues that I believe might be worth a restoration. Thanks Jerry Purcell
