Oreilley and MSA sell them. http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/CTGY/classic14e

Did you install new seals? Do your side shafts look like the attached picture?

Just adapt the 240Z oil and temp sensors to fit the Q45. You may have to do some rewiring to hook up the amp gauge.

MSA sells a replacement seat belt for the 240z. Go to the MSA website. Had mine for 7 years with no problems.

They are the same M10 x 1.0 . Note: do not use brake lines with banjo fittings on the Toyota caliper. The caliper is not designed for bango fittings. If used they will not seal and they will leak. There are many options for brake lines for the Toyota swap discussed in the brake forum. Search.

If you don't have a need for it, why would you want to modify the differential or any other component? Keep in mind that cars are designed by engineers as a system of parts selected to work together. Often when you modify a part it creates a domino effect that results in degrading the performance of some other part. For example, so called popular "brake ugrades" often result in less braking performance! Modifications are fine, but there can be unintended consequences that cost more to fix or result in an unsafe car.

Before you think about modifications you need to decide how you will use the car. Next you need to plan every detail of how you will build the car you want. Also, you need to study and learn about the Z car and any modifications before asking questions. People will be more responsive to informed questions. Good luck.

Buy this book: How to Restore Your Datsun Z Car by Wick Humble. It tells you how to take apart, restore and re-assmble your Z car with lots of pictures. It will save you many many hours searching for "how to" information! The book is available several places such as: https://www.amazon.com/How-Restore-Your-Datsun-Z-Car/dp/1931128022/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1466101164&sr=8-1&keywords=how+to+restore+your+z+car+humble You must download the Factory Service Manual (FSM) for your 1970 240Z. There are links to the FSM here on HybridZ. This is the manual the Datsun dealerships used to maintain 240Zs. For the SU carb maintenance go to the Z Therapy website and buy the video "Just SUs". It explains how to maintain and repair SU carbs. Z Therapy also sells quality parts for the Su carbs. Z Therapy: http://www.ztherapy.com Parts: Black Dragon: http://www.blackdragonauto.com/zZxCatalog.htm Motor Sports Auto (MSA): http://www.zcarparts.com/ Always use jack stands when working under a car. Keep the car stock for now and focus on making the car safe and reliable. You will be learning as you do this. Beware of "upgrades" you read about on the internet. Many are not upgrades at all and may be unsafe if not done correctly. Other websites: http://www.classiczcars.com/ http://www.atlanticz.ca/index.php/tech-tips.html

How about a oil pressure activated switch that cuts off power to the fuel pump when the engine quits as per JTR? My research on inertia safety switches about 10 years ago indicated that the inertia switches could activate going over small bumps so I went the oil pressure switch route. The output of my switch goes to a Painless fuel pump relay that is wired to the fuel pump using the stock green fuel pump wire located next to the glove compartment. JTR gives the full wiring directions. Also, see this link: http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/59944-onoff-switch-for-fuel-pump/?hl=%2Binertia+%2Bsafety+%2Bswitch&do=findComment&comment=555712

This is the fan I am now using:

Google T5 transmission service manual pdf and download it

Yes, normal. Next time add fluid after it is installed. Use a hand pump and some hose that fits in the fill hole. Fluid should be level with the bottom of the fill hole.

thanks

Can You Identify This Car?

Type "t5 clutch master cylinder" into one of the search windows and you will see several threads on how to set up the T5 clutch MC and slave.

There are several write ups on steering rack swaps in the the Suspension and FAQ forums, but you will have to search. Also, do a Google search. Also see: http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/118168-steering-rack-parts-availability/?hl=ends http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/RAP0/26575/03448.oap?year=1972&make=Nissan&model=240Z&vi=5142640&ck=Search_03448_RAP_5142640_-1&mn=Rare+Parts&mc=RAP&pt=03448&ppt=C0203#compatibilityTab_ trust but verify

Stock rubber. Search and you will see why.

Trust but verify.

That block of wood looks like it is holding the shifter in place. I would ask about it. If it is holding the shifter in place, then it implies, to me, that he took short cuts when he couldn't solve a problem correctly. I would be inclined to start lifting rocks to see what is under them for a $16.5k car.

Suggestion: go to pick and pull and buy a set of S13 and a set of S14 calipers and check to see what parts will swap so the S14 caliper E brake will hook up like a S13 caliper. Mount the caliper on the car and move the suspension through full travel to see if the E bracket hits the frame or brake hose et. Use the calipers as cores. As can be seen in the picture below the S 14 uses a different e brake cable attachment than the S13.

It is a typical V8 Z car and nicely done. Ask for interior pictures and if it has any electrical issues. To me $16.5k is a bit high unless it has some features not listed. My son and I built a V8 240Z when he was 18. For him the car had two speeds: off or WOT. So beware.

Actually, if you Google "nissan S13 S14 rear caliper comparison" you will see other websites that explore this exact issue. Because HybridZ doesn't always have the answer I want I have joined other car websites such as for Toyota, 240SX, Nissan as well as other Z sites. When all else fails, I go to pick and pull and buy the part in question to use in mocking up and test fitting. Perhaps if you work up a solution to your S14/S13 issue you would post a tutorial on how you solved the problem.

Yep!

I'll see if I can post pictures or a link to bench bleeding etc. http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/109115-master-cylinder-bench-bleeding/?hl=%2Bbench+%2Bbleeding
