[My 240z is Dead!!]

Okay so i get in my car to go to schooll and no go. I turn the key to start and absolutely nothing happens. the only thing that happens is a clicking noise. i assume the clicking noise is the acc relay in the passenger side making contact. MY starter doesn't even make a noise, theres no clicking noise. So my question is how to i narrow down my problem and fix it? i had another key switch thing and tried that but same results. Its a 72 240z running carbs but has FI electrical in it also, im hoping nothings shorting out.

 

 

possible low battery?

Thanks! Yeah thats my fav place to get gas. Did you have that 280zx? Or was that another employee?

 

 

No I have the 240z then another employee has a red 86 300zx

It might have been one of the regualr customers that comes in. I know one that has a 280zx he brings in on ocassion.

 

Btw have you seen the metallic 240z with the sr20det? He comes in about twice a month!

Yeah that was me. You live in Temecula?

 

 

yeah I live right by the casino and I work at chevron. Ive seen your 240 come in quite a few times, that thing is amazing.

Saw this car today parked at mobil while I was getting gas. Looked like it might have been broken down?

 

hahaha if your talking about it being parked out front of chevron in temecula then yeah thats it, but it was defiantly not broken. just got the new brakes bleed this week so now I can drive it, or I should say was driving it till the radiator blew when I got home tonight

 

oh well it needed to be done anyways.......

 

 

btw were you the one with the red/orange 240? i see that car and my jaw drops every single time.

what do you guys think about a ka24det swap? i have s shop here that sells custom crossmembers for 240z sr20/ka24 swaps. it would give me a chance to strip the whole car and get all the rust fixed and reinforce the frame. opinions?

yeah i know its gonna cost alot, but i need something worthy to spend my time and money on. but yeah already got new brake pads, rotors, reman calipers, brake lines, brake master cylinder, and next is the suspension.

 

my dad and uncle know how to weld and my dad has a welder, so that should make body work managable.

 

also i forgot to mention i have a 71 240 shell at my grandmas, do you guys think i should keep the whale tail hatch or go back to stock? the whale tail is super heavy to the point where it is hard to lift the hatch.

sorry fellas, but its a 72. 4/72 production date. why did you guys think 71?

[My first Z! 72 240z(pics)]

so where can i find the production date? door jam?

i thought the 70-71 had 240z badges where my Z badges are?

 

will have to get the good camera so i can get some better pics, my phone cant take pics of the rust in the wheel well cause its too dark :{

Bought for 650$ from the 2nd owner who got it from his boss in 1980. Runs decent but needs carb work. also needs rust control ={ Ordered new front brake pads, remanufactured calipers, new brake master cylinder and new brakes hoses. what do you guys think for 650? and also does the rust look managable?

 

btw i have the air box off to adjust the carbs.
