When people build these arent they typically made with something to put a load on the engine?

1970 240z #2188 280 Engine with SUs Currently being reZurrected

I am considering a few different materials for the interior of my Z. I am just wondering if anyone knows of a decent way to simulate the elements (sun, cold, etc). I was thinking of repeated exposure to dry-ice and a hair-dryer, and maybe letting it bake on the roof of my house. Any ideas?

It looks like you would be able to use one. From the pics, it doesnt really look like the contour is off very much, it just appears that there are cracks and some chunks missing.. is that right? You will probably still have a gap over the middle gauge though, at least with the type of cap I have.

Wouldnt want to cross paths with you.. you'd blow my doors off!

Just a heads-up, Pick-n-Pull's site says they are having half-price sales every wednesday through October 7th at these locations: - All AZ and IN locations - Summit, IL Too bad none around me

With 1K miles on it, maybe he started it and drove it around once in a while. Looks pretty, but I imagine the market is VERY limited.

3 opinions = good for me. It seems to be stuck pretty good. It's only coming off in pieces about the size of a quarter at a time. Anyone know an "easy" way, or should I just post when I figure it out myself? I was thinking of maybe shooting some penetrating oil along the edges and see if it seeps into the glue.

Mine is in the same spot as JHM's. It was mounted with one of the metal rectangle hold-downs and kept the battery in place following a mild t-bone with a 4-wheel drift into and over an island, and then down an embankment. (Not that I recommend that as a test ) The (+) cable runs along where the floor meets the door-frame on the passenger side, and the ground has a custom frame bolt location for Ground (prev owner did all of this). I'm probably going to put one of those jumbo battery disconnect switches for a little bit more theft-resistance. JHM suggested a sealed battery, but this is actually a MUST!

Are all of the steering racks from the S30s (including 2 vs 2+2) interchangeable? (excluding right-hand drive, of course) Any change in ratio? I have a 70 240z and need a steering rack and want to avoid pulling something from the junkyard that wont match up. Any advice on inspecting before pulling? I only know to check for rust and boot conditions.

Thanks for the reply. Sounds like a great deal, I'll give it some thought. Right now I was just trying to get something really basic just to have something on it. Can you post a pic though?

I need a set of cheap wheels and tires for my 240 Z. It's sitting in my driveway right now with bent rims and flat tires and code enforcement doesnt like that very much:icon56: I can pick them up pretty much anywhere in the Sac County or Solano County areas. Free to good home would be nice

I have a 1970 240z.. Getting ready to start on my interior as part of the reZurection. I noticed this rubbery plastic stuff that is kind of a coating over the transmission tunnel. I imagine it is some sort of sound and/or heat insulator. I'd figure it wise to leave it there, but it is starting to break away under the console area. Should I just leave it as-is and re-carpet over it, or should I strip it all away and replace it with something else? Anyone discover this when doing the interior of their Z and have any advice?

I see this thread just got bumped. You still having this trouble? I had similar behavior before when I was trying to get my truck running after putting it back together and had the timing 180deg out. That will cause backfires and backfires through the carb, and can also appear to be timed properly if you have your wires mixed up. I am in Citrus Heights too, btw. (My profile says vacaville because I will be moving there in about 2 weeks)
