clean the headlight switch and change out the relays, should fix it.

replace the cracked fuel lines first, check for gaps in the manifold where air can get in it. my buddy's 240 would die on him, found that the manifold wasnt air tight, now it seems fine. good luck

if you havent gotten it, GO for it... i vote BUY!!

i have a 71 240z and was running into a similar problem, my car never died on me (knock on wood) but the smell and a lot of smoke as a factor. nevertheless, i would have someone (if you dont know how) tune the carbs and make sure the timing is right. the carbs are probably the issue, you want to make sure the mixture is correct. i see youre in fresno, im in soCal so i dont really know anyone up there, but i guarantee there is someone in hybridz up there. get yourself the manual, try yourself, these cars are awesome and the stock motor is easy to work with. if i were you, i would keep the 260 block, get yourself a p90 head and swith the carbs to early Z (70-71) carbs, unless money is not a factor, get yourself some Webers. Also, i would recommend getting an electronic distributor if you dont have one. good luck!!

this is all correct, i have a japanese mag that has a couple pages on his car. too bad i cant read it haha

hows the car coming along?

Again, nice car... I wish i could pick one up with all those parts already on it

i cant believe they let that beauty sit for so long. congrats, welcome to the Z owners club haha

i was wondering the same question about the Z's in mags, i found a few japanese magazines but sucks i cant read them... if anyone knows of new mags coming out featuring Z's can you let me know..

Good question... wish i would've redone mine instead of trading them for new white ones

Hey i was wondering how the car was coming along? did you end up getting it?

i have seen it done, more commonly though is 280z owners doing 240z aftermarket airdams. i have the stock 240z lower valance along with the sides. let me know if youre interested

i hope you snagged it. $650 aint too bad, let me know how the progress is going.. i hope you got better rims, with spacers at least lol.

Hey Aziza any updates on this? looks great!!

just wanted to show what rustoleum in a paint gun comes out like... please note this is before sanding

wow that looks amazing, would you be willing to make one of those without the roll cage cutouts?The custom dash is beautiful. Do you have any pictures of the fabrication process? i was wondering the same questions i pasted above....

hey nickandm if you're looking for a manual center console, i could probably get one from the junk yard. i dont know about ho much they go for, but im going out there tomorrow, i'll let you know what i find. PM me if interested

thinking about getting these on ebay, need to know if they work. i've been burned on ebay before, so please let me know if anyone has used these, or has bought from this seller thanks http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/KYB-GR-2-SHOCKS-NISSAN-240Z-70-74-EARLY-260Z_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33590QQihZ006QQitemZ160146579717QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

check fuel pump and vaccuum lines. should fix it

Just a thought.... The turn signals in my 71 240z were working, after it rained, they stopped, same situation, my hazards still worked. I thought it had something to do with the rain. yours might, but mine turned out to be bad relays. as far as i know, hazards bypass the relay. working fine now. hope thats all it is for you.
