HEATHEN Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Hello people, I just picked up my 1972 240z. Ive been searching for one ever since I got my 350z(a year and a half ago) and Im glad I waited. I bought it for $600 off the El Paso Craigslist. She's beat. Currently not running and has been sitting in the previous owners garage for about 3 years. Supposedly the only thing wrong was the carbs not being tuned but we'll see about that. Thats about all for now, Ill put some pictures up tomorrow of my dirty white Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzydicerule Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 pics or it didnt happen. In all seriousness though, get her running and drive the hell out of her, and post some pics of your Z's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HEATHEN Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 Here are just a couple photos of my new Z Picking it up Putting it in its current relaxing spot Butt shot Nice and dirty motor awaiting new radiator Nice and dirty untuned carbs Poor punched in face And the interior is fairly gutted aside from seats and the dash. Well, thats about all for now folks, thanks for looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEATHEN Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 Well, Ive been told to get it registered(long story) by Friday or they will try to tow it away. So I rushed out to see if I can at least get it to fire up to drive down to the MVD for the VIN inspection. New fuel, oil and battery. It clicks and all lights work. It starts with starter fluid and thats it. I opened up the bowl and it was dry so I put a bit of fuel and it ran. So something must be clogging the path somewhere then.....right?. Im getting fuel to filter, so the pump is at least getting it that far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzydicerule Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Try pulling the fuel pump and primin it by hand, that can usually help get enough fuel in the bowls, honestly I would just pay 50 bucks and get a new pump and filter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEATHEN Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 Well, its been a while huh?. I had gotten the car running(poorly) and it was nice to be able to drive it down the street and back real quick. Ive since moved and gotten the car registered. I also ripped out the motor and trans the day after it was running, which I gave away on Craigslist. Now I have an LQ4 sitting on the stand awaiting a rebuild and some upgrades and a T56 thats in amazing condition. Slow, slow progress but progress none the less.
