Hi all, My 240Z has got CV half shafts and I’m removing them from the car at the moment. I’ve managed to get one side out of the diff fine by using two large screwdrivers and levering it out , see picture: However I’ve started on the other side and got some movement, but it looks like the...

Hi all, I'm in the middle of purchasing some Koni inserts to go in my 280Z housings and I need to get the gland nuts that hold the inserts in the housings. According to this thread the gland nut thread and pitch for 240Z housings is M48 x 1.5mm, but they say that the 280Z housings require a...

Hi all, My 240Z, which I only use on the road, came with shortened 280Z strut housings with weld on perches and coilover sleeves, and with Ground Control 'Advanced Design' inserts. (The car is fully heim jointed and also has front and rear swaybars.) I'm currently running 250lb/ft front and...

Hi all, Finally managed to source some side air vents for the dashboard in my 240Z, but I’m struggling to figure out what sort of hardware should be used to mount them to the dashboard. There are three captive nuts on the dash frame which look very small diameter, whilst the diameter of the...

Been searching around on the internet to no avail and I don't have my car nearby to check myself - could anyone give me the thread size for the three studs on the sugar scoop that mount the sugar scoop to the front wing please? Thanks.

Hi all, Is someone here able to get me the distance between the two inside studs on a 240Z bumper please? I.e. this measurement: Thanks!

Hi all, I’m having some work done to the front end of my 240Z but I don’t have a good front bumper to check fitment, and I won’t be able to get one in good time. Is there anyone near to Sevenoaks who would be kind enough to let me borrow theirs very briefly (hopefully I’ll only need it until...

Fibreglass dashboard taken out of my 240Z. Has some marks, but generally pretty good condition. Has mounting holes to bolt to the steel dash frame. £150 + postage or collection from Sevenoaks.

Hi all, I've got a MSA 6 into 2 exhaust manifold and after fitting it I've noticed the downpipe drops down very low under the car (it could sit a lot higher). I'm going to take it out and do some cutting to get it to sit in the right place, but I just wondered if anyone else had found this as...

Hi all, I've got a set of Ground Control coilovers on the Z that came with the car and I'm going about setting them up at the moment. The dampers have got compression and rebound adjustment knobs on the top: I've only ever had Gaz dampers with single adjustment and for them, I'd turn the...

Hi all, Bought this starter motor from RockAuto a while back but ended up not using it: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=1000211&cc=1209248&jsn=8 Fits pretty much all manual Z's I think (see the RockAuto site for full compatibility list). Cost me £61 to get it here, you can have...

Hi all, Could I get some pictures of how you have mounted your front number plates for some inspiration please? Trying to decide the best way to do it (My car is a US import with no front mount). Thanks, Simon

Hi all, Going through the motions of trying to get my '73 240Z started. I bought it without an engine but the car had previously been running (before I got it) with a 280ZX distributor so all of the modifications required have been done I think. The car also came with a MSD coil (MSD...

Hi all, I’ve done a full engine gasket refresh (and head rebuild) on my L26 which involved draining all the oil and removing the oil pump, oil pan etc. I’ve just put the engine back in the car and filled it with oil. I hooked up a second jumper battery and turned the engine over on the...

Hi all, My throttle linkage rod was shortened for triples by the previous owner but I now have SU's back in again, so I need to extend it back to standard length. Could someone measure and tell me the length from the pivot to the end of the rod (it's currently around 120mm, see below)...

Hi all, Does anyone know the size of the brake pedal clevis pin? I'd rather not pay the extra £15 postage for one small item from the US if I don't have to. Simon

I have a choke cable which I believe is for a RHD car because it is too short for my LHD '73 240Z (it comes through the opposite side of the firewall to a RHD car). Therefore I am looking for a LHD choke cable. If anyone has done a conversion from LHD to RHD and kept the choke cable, it would...
