I am looking for a 240z mainly the year 72. I can take 71 or 73 but 72 is what I want. Standard transmission a must. It doesn't have to run or have no engine. I need a good straight no damage to rail, light rust 240z. A rolling shell. Interior must be in ok condition. I already have a beautiful early 260z that I'm keeping forever now I just want a 240z. It needs to be a project car. I am going to take to school to DIY restoration. I am looking for a socal and mainly Los Angeles area. I have cash but trade would be best. If a good shell I can trade a z31 r200 clsd +L28et + .... Let me know what you guys got. I love 280z and 260z but looking for a 240z for collection. Thanks Pm/email/call brianzkills@yahoo.com (213)568-3205

I have a set of 240sx calipers that I won't be using. They are in great condition and will take $60 shipped if you are interested. Brian

No thanks, found a 4.11. Thanks anyway.

I have 6 7mgte injectors 440cc with pigtails asking $75 shipped

hahah, real talk you cant beat rotas on pricing/ looks and fitment. One of the best investment to our cars to look really good. Plus the main US rota dude hooked me up with shirts and stickers when I told him my dust caps where cracked he sent me new ones for free.

Yah I love the picture of your car on the NISEI show. It sat real nice with the new rims/wheels. I have 17x8.5 front and 17x9.5 rear of same rims as yours. I hear you on the 18 inch rims, I was thinking of getting some SSR MS1 like these: http://www.importtuner.com/features/impp_1010_1974_nissan_s30_fairlady_z/datsun_platform.html probably the only 18 inch rims I would use in my car.

Thanks, will give a test and try tomorrow.

ok sure will, should I hook up electric or keep running mechanical when I check fuel pressure?

I cleaned the bonjo fitting screen and all the surrounding areas. The front carb was dirty, I drove it and it felt a whole lot better. It pulls to 5,800rpm now, but at the top there isn’t much power. My 73 with DGV Weber pulled hard all the way to 7,000rpm and the power was there, and SU's are better than the Downdraft so I know my car has some more power to be freed up.

Tony D, I have not checked the starter system and both my carbs are set 3-1/4 turns down and my jets are the same height. I have never seen a inlet screen, I will try to find it and clean it. @Jasper I do have a small exhaust leak in the exhaust manifold and downpipe. Right in between the donut gasket. I will check my fuel pressure as for now I have a brand new mechanical fuel pump and am not using the electric pump. I did clean the electric fuel pump and changed the filter and will install and hook it up tomorrow.

Hey Rs, did you put new wheels on your car? It seems like you are still running rotas. Did you go from 17x8.5 into a 9.0 front and 9.5 rear Rota RBR? I saw a picture searching on the net. thanks

My early 260z has been converted with 72 round tops amongst other light mods. My problem is that I can only get to 4,500 rpm before I hit a wall. It will not go any higher. I've done : Adjust float bowls to 14mm Cleaned gas tank and changed fuel filter. Bought new ngk bpr6ey11 Adjusted timing to 12btdc Carbs are synced Checked for vacuum leaks with a carb cleaner and water in spray bootle. (no leaks) Well the 260z has an electronic distributor and the vacuum advance is working. The wires are stock aswell as the coil Found a small kink in fuel line and that helped a little in improvement. Ok so the early 260z has a 5/16 fuel return line and a 5/16 feed. As I remember with my 240z (dual webber downdraft) it had 1/4 fuel return line. I am running out of options. My question is should I switch to 1/4 fuel return lines?

Cool. I can wait till august, I'm not that far from Disneyland. Yes please post some pictures. -brian

I'm looking for some good shape 70-72 bumpers front and rear. Looking for staright with black side rubbers. I am looking for something locally. Los Angeles 90057 I have also a 4.11 r180 "K" rear end that we can trade. Let me know. Thanks Brian

Is pdkfabrication no longer making fiberglass dashes? I was really looking into buying a dash from them.

@Mario_82_ZXT. Thanks! @nismo_zxt I went to junkyard today and found a NA open r200. I opened cover and it sure was a 3.9. Now on to the Diff shop to put CLSD. Thanks again!

Wow. Thanks nismo_zxt. I will try to find a z31 differential in either 3.7 or 3.9. This upcoming weekend it's 50 percent off. This is very useful to source a specific year/ratio z31 diff. -brian

Hey Great build, I am looking for an exhaust and yours looks great for the price. Can you please give me the info on shop that did exhaust for you? -Thanks brian

Vlsd only came in 1988 white shiro z31

Thanks Mack, I will give the Differential Shop a call to see if they have a way through this. I already acquired the 280zx 3.9. I didn't know about the infinity m30 but it's always great to learn about different swap possibilities and alternatives.

I got supra 440cc injectors that I don't need. Got a pair of 6

I got those parts. I have a early 260z. I'll post picks ASAP.

Thank you, sir!
