MaximumHP

They will fit without a problem, you'll just have an electrical connector you may have to zip-tie up or something.

I'm in the process of starting something very similar with a VQ30 from a Maxima. I'm in the last year of school (of 8 total) and working full time, so I don't see a whole lot getting done until this time next year after I graduate. I'm very interested to see how things go for you. Thanks for the links to your other threads. Any other threads on this in other areas I'm interested in also, so keep us updated.

Awesome, can't wait till the engine build video!

I learn, get ideas, and get the motivation to try some of this stuff by watching your videos. Thanks for taking the time to put these together and sharing.

My project just started two weeks ago when I picked up a couple 240's, a 71 and 72. So far they are just collecting rust in a barn, but once school is done for the semester, I'm hoping to get the 71 started. I'd like to start the 72 also, but probably won't do much with that one for quite a while. I have a ton of parts to sort through and categorize and what not. My goal for the summer is to get the 71 fully and reliably road worthy, then through the winter I'll get my new engine project going so I can have the car and new engine road worthy early next spring. Body work and more body work with the time in-between.

Looks nice, great job for a first time sprayer.

He said some other people had looked at them, but didn’t know if he was blowing smoke or not. He really wanted that stuff gone by the end of April, and all of it. They’re plenty of work, but I told myself I want my next project to be more challenging… He was pushing the 280 on me hard when I went to pick up a bunch more junk the last weekend in April. I would have taken it, but I’m up to 6 cars and a bike. Adding another car would have probably meant losing a wife. We should hook up some day, I’d love to check out your Z some time. I imagine there must be some kind of Z meets in WI somewhere at sometime. I worked at KC for about 10 years until they decided to outsource half of engineering. Now I’m at a place called IVI that primarily does ventilation work for foundries. Technically I’m still a technician until I graduate next year from Platteville at UWFV.

I'm new to this forum and Z's, but for my last cars I meticulously kept records of everything on spreadsheets including what I paid for parts, their retail, their used value, and the vendor it was purchased from. I even kept track of stuff like tire wear and graphed it for each different type of tires I've had, cylinder compression test, component weights etc. I also keep a log of all the stuff I do to the car. Surprisingly it's come in handy a ton of times. When I start doing a lot of work it all kinds of blends together in my mind.

Yeah, he was trying to sell it too, needed quite a bit of work (Not that the Z's don't). It was gone when I went to pick up the remainder of the parts he had for me, so someone must have bought it.

Yeah, the white one hasn't been registered since 1990. Just briefly looking, there is some interesting stuff in these cars, like I said, they are filled to the roof with crap. I'm sure there's something interesting in there somewhere. Hoping one of the surprises is not a dead animal... Once I do an inventory I'll throw an ad up for the parts.

I definitely plan to sell a great deal of the stuff, but of course I want to make sure I have everything I need before going to nuts selling stuff. I have skool finals in a couple weeks so not much will get done probably until mid May.

Just figured I'd introduce myself and will probably be poking around here quite a bit soon. I've been wearing out the search engine, and there is just ton's and ton's of good info on this site. I got my story and some pics below. Story: I've always been a Z fan, but was never able to own one until recently I decided I would try to find an old 240z to work on and basically use as an AutoX car. I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to do yet engine wise, but will probably do some kind of Nissan 6 cyl swap just to keep it all Nissan equipment. So after looking around for a bit, I found a guy who was clearing out his autobody/salvage place and had tons of Z stuff. I didn't really want tons of parts sitting around, but It was kind of an all or nothing package deal. So I ended up with two 240's, a 71 and 72, and a ton of parts like 3 interiors, a couple hatches, couple windshields, 3 dashes, a 73 motor, a 4 speed and 5 speed tranny, 2 extra pair of doors, a bunch of sheet metal, tons of carb parts, and lots I'm not even aware of yet since both cars are filled to the roof with parts. The 71, yellow one, is actually in fairly decent shape. Looks rough, but very little rust in the front end including the battery tray area. The tailgate has almost no rust. What I could see of the frame rails seemed good, but until I take a really good look it will be hard to tell. The worst is the floorboards, which aren't terrible, but do have rust, and the rear quarters which have about the worst hack-job fender weld in job I've ever seen. I'm hoping I might be able to use what he's got and re-do it properly. I hope to head up soon and see if I can get the 71 running and on the road. Hasn't run for a year, but hoping it starts relatively easy. Any suggestions on starting an engine that's been sitting for a while is welcome advice. I'm looking forward to working on these and contributing the best I can around here.
