ASA240Z

I've been thinking the past few days about what seats I want to put in my 240Z. So far I really like the corbeau baja ss seats. I REALLY like the look of these seats and their very comfortable. I looked at the dimesions and it looks like a tight fit, about 1inch on each side for the center consle to the door panel. I was just wondering if any of you guys have used these seats before? (did a search a found nothing on them) Also what is the largest seats that anyone has placed in a 240? please help... checkout the baja seats... http://corbeau.com/products/baja/baja.shtml# I'm also considering the classicsII, check them out also...

By not working, you mean the needle is'nt moving, or is it jumping around like crazy? Also is this a performance tach? if it's the original try soldering a resistor to it, I dont remember what amount, but I do remember that bryan little talked about it more in depth on his website http://www.geocities.com/zgarage2001. Hopfully you didn't hook up the tach directly to coil, the high voltage would usally fry the tach...goodluck

ohh by the way, thanks for the advice to everyone who helped!

I don't think the exhaust manifold bolts are as prone to breakage as the studs. I took mine out without any problems. I just sprayed WD40 on the bolts and then took them off.

Im replacing the exhaust mandifold on my 240z, I removed all of the bolts, nuts and now I need to remove the studs. I did a search on this but all I got was horror stories of studs snaping off and 4 hours of drilling them out. So I'm here once again, asking for advice form you guys about removing the studs. P.S. I cant do the torch trick or welding trick to remove them, dont have the equipment to do that. Thanks

thanks for the info you guys, I really appreciate the help.

I know this maybe a simple question but I could not find any answers to the install of the MSA gasket. Is there any prep work before the install, other than using a gasket scraper to clean the surface? Sorry for the dumb question, but I'm new to working on Z's and cars altogether. Another thing I would like to ask is about SU rebuilds. I have to rebuild the SU's on my 240Z, but I was wondering if this is a too difficult thing to do. Also what should I use to clean off all the build up on the carb? I read on another site that the carbs could be dipped in gasoline, but I'm really doubtful about this... any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you

I need some advice for what type of carbs set-up I should use for my Z. I have a stock 72 Z with the L24. In the future I plan to use forged pistons, electronic ingnigtion, 2 1/2 exsust, good cam(nothing wild), possibly enlarge the intake and exhust values for more performance. At the end I hope to get something like 1,000 hp, just kidding... somewhere over 200hp. I have everything figure out in terms of what I want for my car, with the exception of the carbs, and which would be the biggest bang for the buck. I'm only 18 and obiously at my age on a tight budget (lol who isint at that age) well Im disputing between three type of setups. SU's, triple webers, and four barrel holley carb. I was wondering if it is possible to get the same or more performce out a single large holley carb instead of three webbers. Plz help me and give what advice you have for me. Thank You. Allen

I was wondering if it is possible to use z32 (300zx) break calipers on a 1972 240z? If so, what do I need to do? Are there any web sites on this matter? PLZ HELP ME

I was planning to install a rb26dett in my 72 z someday, but I was wondering if it is possible to get 500hp out of a rb26 with pump gas 92 octane? I was also thinking of going for a v8 twin turbo coversion, Which of the conversions would you guys/gals recommend?

Is a R200 diff with the gear ratios of 3:9:1 the same as the R200 with the ratio of 3.90? I really need to know. Please help me as soon a possible.

Well, what I see is smoke coming out of my car when I raise the rpms to about 5,000 rpms. All I want is my car to run cleaner so I won't smell like smog right after driving my car. Thanks for the help.

Does anyone have an idea to solve a smog problem? I just had my 240Z 72' get a major tune up at the Nissan dealer, and after that I could still visably see smog come out my exhust pipe? My car has 46,000 rebuilt, so I don't think the engine needs to be rebuilt. Is it the brand of gas I'm using (Cevron supreme)? Or is it somthing else? Please help.

no just the wipers don't go up or down at all.

Does anyone know were i can buy a windshiled wiper motor for a 240z? I took my car to the nissan dealer, but they said that the part is no longer avaliable? Can I fit a motor from another car?

cool, do you have any pictures of the conversion?

Does anyone know if it is possible to swap a 300ZXTT motor in to a 72 Z'?

is there any way to put Z32(300zx) breaks on a 72' Z?

Please help me. I have a 72 Z with the standard L24 motor. Every time after drive for a while, parking and turning it off, the motor begins to jump or ping as if it wants to run. Is this normal, how can i fix this problem? I also notice a problem with my rpm gauge, ONLY on really hot days my rpm guage goes wierd, when i run the motor the gauge reads redline and then 1000 rpms and back to redline and never reads the REAL rpms. Please help.

The rust is on the lower metal panel, below the door.
