Hello all, I'm a new member to both HybridZ and also Datsun universe! The car is a 1973 240z with the original L24 & 4 Speed which is currently and running and driving (roughly) project. The car appeared at it's first car show this last month for Street Machine Nationals. My father and I are attempting to do a full rebuild (motor, transmission, suspension, interior & exterior). Luckily my father was a body tech for some 10 years or so and has experience with working on old American v8's from his younger years. Hopefully some of that experience will help with the process of getting this car to our end goal. Also if anyone lives in the Minneapolis area. I would certainly appreciate having someone in the area who knows about Datsuns/shops/parts sourcing etc. Thank you all, Austin

I have a 1970 240z. I aquired a 1973 240z front bumper that has a different setup/bracket. I do not have the arm/rod brackets for the 73 or the "L" brackets for the 70. What do i need to install it on the 70 z? If i buy the early L brackets will they work or do i need to remove the U shape bracket (that looks like the rear) that is bolted inside the bumper and utilize or drill a new hole on the bumper? If the L bracket will work, i am willing to buy them, but didnt want to until i consulted with someone who is more knowlegeable on the issue. Picture: Early on top, 73 on bottom. I have the bottom and the left bolt seems to line up and so does the hole on the bumper behind the bracket stud according to the picture but i have not done any measuring. NOTE: I will also move the guard to a more outer position since the early z's had the guard next to the light bucket and the 73's had them about 4 inches on each side closer to center. In addition, i will have to find an overider that belongs to the early z. the 73 is a shorter bar and will not work.

Ok, so I can see the finish line from a very long journey, that is my 1973 RB 240Z. I have a CLSD from an 1989 Z31T with the CV shafts. I'm trying to get the CV axles bolted into my car but I have been finding out that these adapter options for the CV adapter conversion are PRICEY!!! Especially, when you factor in the price for having to get the 27 spline axles from a 280Z (getting harder to find) and the Modern-Motorsport option. Plus, I don't know why NOBODY developed and adapter for the stock 240Z 25 spline stub axles to just bolt to the Z31T CV axles!!!! People keep saying that it was for strength but I don't buy that. They are not much thicker, and you've only gained just 2 splines. For a stock RB, I'm sure the 25 spline will hold up just fine. I'm just trying to get my CV's under the car. Looking for the welded plate to stock flange option so that I can get my car back on the road. I've seen pictures on Google from what Modern-Motorsports "used" to do, but I need better specs for the plate(steal). I found specs for a plate for the 280ZXT CV's, but I cant figure out why no one has done this for the Z31T CV axles. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place... Anyone have any answers??? Thanks for any and all help you give.

Hey all, looking for a used/new/spare aftermarket header (or perhaps full system?) for my L24. Not concerned with brand, just not rusted or broken. My stock exhaust is shot and it would make life easier to go aftermarket. Shipping to NC 28411 and I would like to use paypal. Pics and price to bstznut@hotmail.com Thank you!

Good Night Hybridz Faithful. (East Coast time) I'm not new to this forum, but I think this might be the first time that I posted in the forum. I am building an RBZ. I know that I'm 20 years late but I'm hoping that some of you "been there, done that" guys are still on here and can help/guide me to what I need to get this project on the road. My motivation is extremely high these days since I'm riding a bicycle to school 5 days a week, 13.3 miles (one way) on one of the most treacherous roads in PA. And, I'm not as young as I use to be, so I don't know how long my body might hold up doing that. LOL... So, to the point. 1973 240z. RB25det (S2)with trans, ECU, etc. STOCK BUILD. Focused on getting her breathing on her own again. I'm about 80% done with my build. Probably would be 90+ if I had a few of the miscellaneous answers that I'm looking for, since I have all the big parts. I've been searching all over this forum and some things you have to be "very specific" about to get it to pull up what I'm looking for. Or maybe I'm just asking the wrong questions to the search engine. Anywho... 1. First question. Clutch- Cant find a lot of direct answers about the clutch and the lines to it that make it work. Either people are modifying their setup to be different or they seem to skip right over that part. Or maybe I'm just blind. With the RB25 trans, I found out (by trial and error) that the rubber line attached to the clutch slave cylinder is a direct bold on to the hardline on the 240z frame rail. However, there is another line that comes from the drivers side fire wall and comes across the engine bay to the passenger side of the transmission (on the 240z trans) but I cant find anything that it goes to on the RB trans. Does it not go to anything anymore? Its a thick line with a cable in the middle of it. 2. Second Question. Hoses- Where can I find a diagram of the hoses (vacuum, water) and where they go? 3. Third Question. Gauges- Has anyone found a "tried and true" way of getting the stock 240z gauges to work with the RB25? 4. Fourth Question. Shifter- What is the reason the shifter on the RB25 transmission is so fat? Can it be changed out? Thank you for all you help. DatDude

So I recently got a 260z last month and this problem has finally gotten to me. The infamous post emissions Flat top SUs are bogging when I lay the pedal to the metal. They will just begin to barf gasoline out the overflow valve if I start it up and rev it while the carbs are still cold. But this especially happens up in the hills (In Alaska) and no matter how slow I start up the carbs they will bog and puke up good gasoline. All I can do is floor it till what I assume is the floats go back up. Usually all it takes is flooring it till it touches off on 5k revs. But this problem is very persistant and when I come down from the hills after the carbs go cold all they wanna do is bog for the next 5 to 10 minutes. Now I'm just gonna guess this problem is from sticky floats and fouled up Emission carbs. (cept for all the emissions are taken off because Alaska)

Hello All, I have a basically stock 1973 240z thats been lowered by the previous owner. Probably cut springs. I drive the car about 3-4 times a year so obviously it sits for long periods of time. I knew from a while back the brakes seemed to be dragging. Well I went to drive it yesterday and the rears are really dragging. The car will not roll even on a slight incline. If you jacked up the rear you cannot turn the wheel. The car will move forwards and back by the power of the engine in first gear but it will not roll. Let off the the power and it will not roll. I changed the master vac a while ago using a Cardone A1 reman unit. I recently verified that the reaction disc is in place. A new master cylinder was installed at the same time. So I need to know the proper steps to diagnosing this. If I unbolt the master cylinder from the master vac there is no change, the rear drums stay locked. The emergency brake is in the down (not engaged) position. I'm wondering if its the master cylinder but I have no idea how to test it on the car or off. The stock front brakes also seem to be dragging but nothing like the rears. Not even close. Still leads me to the master cylinder. In regards to adjustment of the rod from the master vac...not possible Maybe some are adjustable but mine would not budge a mm. Yes I can see it has threads behind the acorn shaped end piece but they appear to be simply decoration as that thing doesn't budge. I havent tried any PB Blaster on it though. If I open the rear hydraulic lines for each rear drum brake will that release the brakes? All brakes lines appear to be in working condition. I'm not sure if I had the emergency brake on when it was sitting for the last long period or not. Just want to drive this thing and now I can't. Thanks for all the help in advance.
