stump Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Hello guys.. I am in need of some major help... I am not a 240Z owner as yet..but I certainly would like to be at some point..At 49, maybe I've left it a little late...but you never know..... I've done endless searches on here and other forums, as well as Google image searches...looking for detailed undercarriage photos..... I have found some, mostly of great rebuilds taking place, most of which are totally stripped down, in progress pics.....all good. I need some good reference pics showing where, how...all the brake lines and fuel lines run under one of these Z's..... Mounting points for brake lines, brackets for exhaust hangers......that type of thing.... Reason for...I am building a scale replica of a 240ZG, a 1/12 scale Tamiya kit. Because of it's size, I want to add as much real detail as possible... Many of the great pics I've found and saved have helped immensely with the build so far.....but really good under side details have eluded me... I would appreciate it very much if someone here may be able to help out.. Even a link to the start of a rebuild, before the car gets totally striped down.... Sorry to bother you with kids stuff..... Many thanks in advance guys.. cheers Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerryb Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Why dont you consider one of the repair / service manuals. The Haynes is one of the best. Lots of pictures and schematics.. http://www.haynes.com/products/sfID1/3/sfID2/5/sfID3/55/productID/107 A lot of the cars on this forum may not be good indicators as most are modified.

deja Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Not the best drawings but http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/explodedviews/280z/ has many on-line for the 280z which is almost the same for much of what you're asking for the 240Z.

stump Posted May 3, 2009 Author Share Posted May 3, 2009 Thanks Jerry and Deja.. Deja, there are some good reference pics there...I've saved what I consider "useful" and they will definitely help.....Cheers mate. Jerry, thanks for your input....I've just bit the bullet (5 minutes ago) and bought a "used" manual online....Was at a reasonable price, compared to new.. Hope it arrives in a timely fashion now.... Cheers Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rturbo 930 Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 If you need any more pics, I have a 240z currently flipped over with all the brake and fuel lines still on it if you're interested. Let me know if you want me to take some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stump Posted May 3, 2009 Author Share Posted May 3, 2009 (edited) If you need any more pics, I have a 240z currently flipped over with all the brake and fuel lines still on it if you're interested. Let me know if you want me to take some. Hey Owen. Mate, that would be SUPER......if you're sure it's not too much bother. I guess I need to know where and how the brakes and fuel gets from front to rear and vise-verse...as well as the mounting points/brackets for the brake cables. I have some decent pics of the front cable brackets. If you're sure you don't mind, I would very much appreciate this mate. Is it easier for you to email them direct, rather than taking up valuable space here...? Hit me via PM if you like.. Many thanks.

rturbo 930 Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 It's not a problem at all. I'll try to do it tomorrow, or Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
