christainmoller, Check out my posting under Heavy Duty Frame Rails underGen iii & IV Chevy V8 Tech Board Postingn 17 and 18. They show y AC installation in my
LS3 6.2L 240Z. I tried several Aftermarket AC Kits that would not fit as I made my own motors mounts and custom made front sub frame( constructed from 2 1/4" square
tubing. The smallest AC Compressor that I found was a Sanden AC compressor which is only 7 inches long total length (comprssor with clutch). I used a Kwik Performance Ac Kit but the mount can easliy fabricated by yourself. I was rushing to enter my car into a car show so did not have time to measure and try and error the mount construction.
But notice that you must use Chevy truck type water pump and longer harmonic pulley to match the belt location. The posting goes into the details of the AC Installation.
I hope this answers your questions, if not post any more questions that you may have.

Silvermine Motorsports has a Ford 8.8 Rear End Conversion kit for 240z. The kit includes the bracketsnecessary for this conversion for
$1340.00 plus shpping. This kit does not include CV axles, strut shocks, wheel hubs, rear brakes,et and the Ford 8.8 differential. The buyer
must purchase the remaining items but uses available parts. The only other conversion kit on the market is Techno Toys who sell their kit for $8000.00 plus shipping. The Silvermine kit seems to be well built and strong enough for most people. I am curious if anyone has installed this kit and would comment about it.

WIPER MOTOR REPLACEMENT-
i replaced my Original Factory Wiper Motor with one from a 1992 Honda Civic. Amazon had a Cardone New Wiper
Motor #85-1423 for $105. This particular wiper motor has "Parking Return Feature" which returns the wiper blades to return in the Parking postion when Shut off. The original Factory does not have this feature so the Driver has to accomplish this task manually.
This Honda Wiper Motor has the same mounting bolt pattern so the installation is easy. Also the Motor rotation is the same. The Datsun Wiper Mounting Plate has to "notched" for the Honda Wiper Motor Clearance. The Honda Motor
was similar Mounting Slot for the Datsun Wiper Arm and bolts right up.
A Hot Glue Gun was used to glue down the Hoda wiring to prevent possible wiring problems.
The most difficult portion of this installation is the Electrical Wiring of this swap. A Water Proof Relay was utilized as the
Wiper Motor is located in the Cowl Section of the vehicle. I used -irhassody 40.30 Amp 12vt Waterproof 5 pin HD relay $11 from Amazon.
This is my wiring diagram for this Honda Wiper Motor Swap. Double check the wiring colors as I found some wiper motors has different wiring colors.
Honda Wiper Motor installed.

Replacement of Heater/AC Blower Fan-
Finding a Replacement Blower Fan especially with the similar mounting arrangement and size was not easy. The
closest one that found was one from a Kai Sportage for $99. This was a brand new one and a rebuilt one. The blower shaft was the same size as the original Datsun. Their Fan was slightly larger (about 1/4"}but made of black plastic..
Its speed was a little faster so hopefully it provide more air flow.
Replacement Electrical Connector Plugs-
Alot of my original Datsun Plastic White Electricl Connector Plugs were pretty brittle.
So I found these Replacements on Ebay.
2.3 connector and terminals
Ebay also had 6.3 connectors and terminals but I could not find its pic.
Repairing Interior Vents-
These vents draw air from the two air tube built into both top sides of the engine compartment. Basically the vents function at high speeds (above 40mph}. Some people forget to close them when running their Air Conditioning and wonder why the Air Conditioning is not cooling the vehicle.
Replacing Foam gaskets on the Vents.
Used Contact Cement to Glue the form the Ducts.

Reapairing Right Side Dashboard Ac Vent Hose-
The Right AC Vent 2"Hose was broken off from the Duct Vent. So a method to reconnect that hose would have
to be found. I diecided to use a 3' piece of 2" radiator to"splint' the Vent Hose to the plastic Vent Housing.
Used the Hot Glue Gun to adhere the Spint to the Vent Housing.
Inside View of the Splint
The Finished Repair if the AC Vent Hose and Duct
I had to fabricate a Micro Phillips Screwdriver to remove the Three Phillips Heas Screws to Chrome Duct Vent.
This Micro Phillips Screwdriver also was used in other 'tight spaces" where normal phillips screwdrivers would not fit.
Modifying the Dashboard Center Vent-
The Original Center Console Vent only had a small piece of foam around the vent tube leading to the Blower Box.
I decided to construct a sheet metal Tube that provide a tighter seal to Outlet Vent.
Making Template for the Vent Connector
Bending the sheet metal with a 5/8" deep socket to match the template shape.

Part #47 consists of Painting the Z Interior and Engine Compartment. Part#48 shoes more Exterior Body Work and Paint. Also, Taking the Car to a Local Car Show to advertise for the Shop. Found on my regular postings.

Finally, Part# 46 video-shows the complete of the Front Radiator Core Support. Use of both Mig and Spot Welding is shown to fasten pieces together. Note,
the use of Weld Through Primer on the connecting sides of the welded parts prevents future corrosion. This step is commonly skipped so corrosion starts immmediately,

I just added Part # 45 which consists of Body working the Rear Body Panel. correctly Right Fender gaps and Fender Body Lines. The Bodyman reworked some

Sorry for Not Posting for a while. After my last post on Jan 30, I went my Orthopedic Surgeon to check on
my Sore Left Knee. He previously did a Partial Knee Replacement on my Right Knee about 6 years ago. At that time, my Left Knee was not too bad but I had pain occasionally. After the 2022 Sema Show, my knee got real bad to the point that I could hardly walk at the end of the day. So I made an appointment to have my Left Knee checked out. No surprises, the X Rays showed Bone to Bone Contact causing the pain. So I wanted the surgery as soon as possible. But I did not expect that there would be an opening for my surgery in only 2 weeks. So on Feb 15 , I had a Total Knee Replacement Surgery which consists of installlation of a Titanium Joint inserted into my leg. I went home the same day but I knew that the Physical Therapy would be Painful and take Months too.

Because of the Evaporator Hoses, the Glove Compartment Box had to shortened in Depth by 2"'
So now, the Holley ECU Box was mounted in the Lower Shelve. This postion is better for view the ECU LED Trouble Lights. The Upper Shelve would be the New Glove Box although smaller.
The Glove Compartment Door Hinges were slotted to provide additional adjustment.

More Good News, as of today Feb 24,2023, I posted Two More Videos #43 and #44 on my Chevy V8 Gen III and IV postings. Number#43 goes into more
detail on Door Alignment and Fitment. Number #44 shows how to create Body Lines and repairing Door Gaps. Developing the "Feel Metal"(feeling High or
Low Spots on the sheet metal usually takes a little time to acquire but some people never acquire this skill. Bodywork is mostly learned from experience. These Bodyworkers make their work look easy but it isn't.

Good News-There is now a #42 Video Episode of The Complete S30 Body Restoration. It seemed that Japanese Body stopped working on the S30 when they painted the
Under Carriage of this car. But I think a Emergency Job for the Tokyo Auto Salon Show (This show is Japan's Version of the US SEMA Show) in early 2023 was squeezed in.
But anyway, there should be at least a couple more videos coming down the road. Enjoy!

While in Tokyo, I came across these Videos which shows in great detail show a Complete Restoration of a S30 Datsun Z. The videos even show what tools,equipment, paint, primers are used. The only problem is that the initial videos are in Japanese without subtitles. However,
due to popular demand, later videos came with English SubTitles. I posted telling the general subject of repair so you can skip videos that
you are not interested in. Go to V8 Z forums ---To Gen II& IV Chev V8 ----to Heavy Duty Frame Rails---Go to Page 17---Go to Posting dated December 22,2022. I hope you enjoy them.

ShawnM, I glad you enjoyed the videos. Did you notice that a lot of the metal fabrication tools (such as sheet metal bender, bead roller, English Wheel, etc) are brand new. The videos even show the boxes that they came in. The equipment was Made in USA, too. As my Father owned a Body Shop, I can tell that their workmanship is High Quality and would recommend that Body Shop to restore a 240Z. Please bear with lack of English Subtitles, later
Episodes will have more English Subtitles!!!

I just returned from Tokyo, Japan today. While there, I found this video on YouTube.com-JP It was one of the Best Video Restoration of S30 Datsun Fair Lady car . Although it is mostly in Japanese, the video shows in great detail of the restoration process. The videos comes in 39 parts so I will try to divide the videos up into sections. Then you can just go to the restoration part that you may be interested in.
Part 1-Painting Stripping, Abrasive Blasting (normally 80 Grit),Epoxy Priming the Bare Sheet Metal. This process gives the Bodyman the True Condition of the Car Body. Then he can start ordering either Repro Parts or Junk yard parts. As this car is over 50 years old, finding even Junk yard parts would lucky. So, a lot of sheet metal must be fabricated by hand.
*NOTE-Press "Escape Key" to exit end of video.
PART 2-Test Fitting of Replacement Panels and Hand Fabricating the Parts that could not be found.
Part 3- Abrasive Blasting Individual Parts and Replacing Floor Panels
Part 5 Welding Front Frame Rails
A Professional Induction Spot Weld was used to weld up the Front Frame Rails. A 180Amp Mig Welder could be used as a substitute. This would be a good time to think about using a good welding primer that will be welded(spot or mig) to prevent corrosion caused by welding. This treatment should be followed up with a corrosion resistant spray after finish painting the vehicle.
Additionally, Drilling Rust Proofing holes and plugs will allow the spray to go where the factory box panels didn't.
Part 6-Fabricating Wheel Housing Panels
Part7- Replacing Front Door Skins and Lead Soldering Small Rust Damage
Part 8-Repaiing Front Fenders and Rear Quarter Panels
Part 9-Repairing Rear Quarter Panels-interior and exterior
Part 10-Repairing Rear Back Panel
Part 11-Repairing Inner Hatch Deck and Taillight Housing Area and Repairing Wheel Housing
Part 12-Repairing Side rocker Panels and Tail Light Housing Area
-
Part 13-Replacing Side Rocker
*NOTE- After watching these videos, you may think Japan Body Shops are primitive compared to
American Body Shops. The real reason is that Japan has a very strict Vehicle Safety Code. It is
so strict that most cars have only a 5 year life especially in urban areas( Tokyo, Osaka,etc). Scrap
Yards in Japan are full of seemly good condition vehicles that can not driven on Japanese roads.
Japan Body Shops have a huge supply of ":used parts". So much, they can order replacement
parts such as car door in the exact factory color needed. As most cars are only 5 years old and
under strict safety standards, there is no market to do corrosion repair except for those people
will to pay the big dollars to restore popular cars. I could not believe this fact till I saw stacks of
"perfectly good cars" with no collision damage on them in the junkyards of Japan.
Part 14-REplacing Rear Quarter Panel
Part 15-Repairing Rear Panel.
.
Part-16-Reparing Front Crossmember
Part 17-240Z on Frame Machine to check Frame Alignment and pulling the Frame to put it
in specifications.
The Left Side (Strut Tower) is bent in about 1/2" so they pulled it with a Hydraulic 10 Ton Ram.
This was only small damage to the frame but would affect Toe -in, Camber and Caster Specifications.
Part 18-Repairing Front Frame Rail Inner Structure
Part 19-More Frame Repair Work
Part 20-Fabricating Front Crossmember Panel
This Video demonstrates creating Contours on Sheetmetal with only Hand Tools.

SEMA SHOW LAS VEGAS ,NV Nov. 1 to Nov. 4, 2023
I went to the Sema Show from Monday to Thursday. Because of Covid, I missed going to Two previous Shows.
This years Sema Show was Huge in size. The Show now occupies the whole Las Vegas Convention Hall area plus
all the outside area of the major Halls. Also, They built a Giant Building called the West Hall that was the Convention
Hall Parking Lots. So the Hotel Shuttle Buses dropped Attendees about 400 yards from the Convention Property.
I was so tired from walking around the Show and must have walked 4 miles each day. I tried to take pics of Nissan
and some other JDM Cars for you guys. Please forgive me if I could not remember all the car descriptions to go with
the pics.

Before I go to Air Conditioning Installation. The construction of the Rear Tow Bracket will be covered. A Rear Tow Bracket is a necessity to hold the vehicle securely when towing the car with a Flat Bed Tow Truck. The Bracket also comes in handy if you ever end up in a ditch.
Started off by Constructing a Card Board Template .
The Bracket will be cut out of !/4" Mild Steel Plate with a Plasma Cutter. Then Finished Shaped with a 4 1/2" Angle Grinder.
The Bracket was then Powder Coated RED.
It was installed on top of the Factory Rear Bumper Bracket.
Rear View of the Rear Tow Bracket.
Air Conditioning Installation
There are many ways to install Air Conditioning in a 240Z. Since I had constructed my own engine mounts, most After Market AC Compressor Mounts interfered with my Custom Made Motor Mounts..
Dirty Dingo Mount Kit was one example of these kits.
ITC Billet was another kit that would not work with my mounts.
Kwik Performance #L10291 Air Compressor Mounting Kit that located the compressor in front of the Right Side Cylinder Head. Also, the Location was not too high like many After Market Kits. Because of the 240Z Low Hood Configuration, clearance would be a problem. But, using the Kwik Performance Kit would require replacement of the Water Pump and
Harmonic Balancer(about $236 additional cost on top of $230 Kit cost). These parts were required to move the Serpentine Belt ! 1/2" Forward.
AC Delco Water Pump # 252-976 from $156-Amazon was used.
Note- 1 1/2" height differance
AC Delco Harmonic Balancer #19300488 from Amazom $85
Also, Note - 1 1/2" height differance
LS Harmonic Balancers require a 3 Jaw Type Puller to remove the Balancer from the Crankshaft.
This is because LS Balancers do not have any Pulling Threaded Holes and also require a Spacer
Rod under the Puller Screw. If you do not have one, some Part Stores have them to Rent Out.
Also, A Harmonic Balancer Installation Tool
Note-Spacer Rods under Puller
A Harmonic Installation Tool will be necessary to install the New Harmonic Balancer on the crankshaft. Using a heavy hammer to install the balancer can damage the Rubber Inert
Ring in the Balancer.
i will continue this AC Installation Process later as I am leaving for the SEMA SHOW in Las Vegas
this weekend. I will post pics from the show when I return.

Preparing for Local Car Show-
There was a Local car Show in my area on Labor Day. Everybody was encouraging me to enter my 240Z in it.
But, there was still a lot of work to make it even decent.
Installing the Interior Carpet-
Interior Innovations provided a Full Eight Piece Precut Carpet for about $700. The fitting was good and was made of Good Materials. I had to decide which method to fasten the carpeting to
the metal floor. Went to Home Depot and found Double Sided Industrial Grade Velco tape (cost $30). So No Drilling and Screws were used.
Epoxy Adhesive was used the hold the Velco Tape down.
Passenger Door Panel-
Driver Side Door Panel-
Passenger Side Carpeting-
Fabricating Front Tow Hitch-
As this car is lowered, In case when the car would need to towed, the normal method of
sliding a tire lift under the car would not be possible. The Fiberglass Air Dam is in the way.
So Towing on a Flat Bed Towing would be mostly likely method available. But, you still a way
to hook up the car to winch it aboard. So I decided to fabricate a Front Tow Hitch.
the Hitch was constructed of !/4" Steel Plate and bolted to the front frame rail.
Hitch was bolted to the Frame Rail
The Tow Hitch sticks through the Front Air Dam under the Bumper.
The Labor Day Car Show-
There were about 400 assorted cars at the Show. Everything from 32 Roadsters, 57 Chevys,
Cobra Cars, Blown Gassers, VWs, Camaros, Corvettes, Vipers, Hell Cats, Low Riders, etc were there.
I spent most of the time there, telling people "What kind of Car it was? - !971 Datsun 240z
What is a Datsun? Nissan introduce their Brand New Car Line as "Datsun". There were even some
Japanese Tourists asking questions about my "FairLady"( name of the.. 240Z in Japan). I did not
have time to even walk around and check out the other cars at the show. But my car and I were luck to be filmed for an upcoming Local TV Car Show.
Here are some Black and White Versions of the Pics. Black and White Photos really gives a
Restro Mod Feeling.
