A to Z

Thanks. I ordered the JATCO shift kit from Tim on here. Going to keep it Auto.

cool. No track for me. I am a cruiser.

A couple of patch panels via a '76 280Z in Firestone Colorado, at Junkyard Jenny's. 2 sections of rocker, so I can have some curved metal if needed. Yeah the pieces look VERY ROUGH , but she says they are ok, so for a couple bucks I will get them, blast them off and if needed, then I can patch a spot or 2 if needed. Also got the bottom front 90 bend out of both door jambs. After blasting, if they are still thick enough, then I will give them a coat of rust converter on both sides to convert any leftover rust to phosphate and it will leave a primer coating. All Metal filler is my choice to go to, as it has metal filings in the bondo. rocker pieces you can get, but the door jamb parts? NOPE.

Oh no, it's a toy. I'm an old retired guy.

On eBay, there are some nice vintage style wheels, several different styles out of Malaysia, that is states are made in Taiwan. Nice gold rims, with a polished lip.....anyone on here have any experience with them? For Ae86 TA22 S30 240Z datsun rs star JDM Classic FM MESH Style 15" wheels glow | eBay ~Joe

yeah, I saw that....problem is, a previous owner took the clock out......AND LOST IT! I bought one today for 60 bucks. Nice and restorable, either fix or if I can't it will cover the core charge to get on that does work. ~Joe

What do you think of 3:90's?

not sounding so good, but all lights working, and you can tell the muffler is off. SU's are needing "assistance" I think:) On the truck coming home 1.mp4

Here are some pics the seller sent to me of the transporter coming to pick it up.

I will leave the rear gears as-is I think and see how it goes. Thanks for the observations.

Lucky. Thanks. 🙂

Old post. But I am the new guy so oh well. The sunroofs I have seen they seem to upset the lines on the roof. If you could have one that is flush and followed the natural curvature of the roof, then no problem. I guess I can like them either way but my #1 preference, is no sunroof. 🙂

Ok. I would like a 4.11 R180 differential

Oh I just meant lower gears in the R180. 🙂

Is there any place that restores the fan box and heater core for a reasonable amount? Thanks, Joe

Hello, old add, but I’ll so anyway...... does the clock work? How about the amp gauge?

Hello! i need a WORKING clock and a glove box door, complete for my 1972 240z. thanks, Joe

I just ordered the JATCO shift kit from Tim in Australia. Thinking some lower gears in the rear may compliment that. Comments?

Great idea! Thanks 🙂

Well, some owner before this last one, took apart some of the dash. grrrrr! lost the glove box door and the clock....gee thanks! Looks like I will take the dash out to restore it and clean things up. restore the ventilation system...up in the air over keeping this 1972 aftermarket A/C comments? So, not much, but I am glad to have gotten one while I still can! I have a box full of stuff, like the radio face plate, horn button, etc. ~Joe

Ok, so I bought it on eBay. 1972 Datsun 240Z Automatic. White with red interior. I paid more than I wanted to, but sometimes to get the one that you really want, that happens. Original paint, no accidents, just a tad bit of rust. Oh, and the interior is faded. I can't decide to keep it red or go black. I am afraid the vinyl paint will make it looks cheap and cheesy...too glossy, comments? First order of business is tossing the sunroof and filling it in. I will discuss my plans for that shortly Anyhow, I will post the eBay pics of it, and hopefully the transporter will get it to me unscathed!

Hello all. My name is Joe. I live in Colorado Sprigns, Colorado. I grew up on Datsun's. My brothers had Roadsters and 510's, my Dad had a Roadster in addition to a '76 280Z 2+2 he bought new. It ended up being mine for 7 years before he got it back, restored it, and kept it for many years before a family friend got it. I sold my modified 1972 510 2-door. I worked on about 25 years ago. I screwed up more than I fixed....young and had to learn how to do things. So, I just bought a 1972 240Z Automatic on eBay. It is enroute to me. I am also a big Mustang fan. I have a 2001 Mustang GT I bought new that is a garage queen. It is Supercharged and etc. Real nice car. This is my "classic" to keep with it. If I can be of any help I will. I appreciate in advance any help any of you can provide. Thanks and God bless you. Joe

I have tried high and low to find a link to order this shift kit for my 240Z Automatic. NO LUCK. If this product is still available, then PLEASE....tell me how I may get one? I have never seen a product that is so hard to find.
