Hi All
As some of you know I have recently moved from the US and have brought my 1972 240Z with me, it finally arrived about 2 weeks ago. I’ve owned it for almost 10 years now and usually follow the cycle of driving it, taking it apart to fix/improve things, putting it together in time for Monterey Car Week, then taking it apart again. I finally bit the bullet and did a ton of the work I’ve been putting off right before moving (Driver dogleg and floor rust repair, mounting my new Cobra seats and new carpet, wiring clean-up + wiring spotlights, finishing my composite panels, adding calipers for handbrake, etc.)
I didn’t get everything on my list done in time so there are still some things left before I can just enjoy it for a while (And then take it all apart again later!)
I’m submitting everything for registration to the DVLA today, so I have a couple of weeks to get everything done. Appreciate any input or feedback (Especially when it comes to wiring, not my strong suit at all) and I’m looking forward to meeting some fellow Z owners this summer!
High priority

High priority
- Replace headlight switch (I have a freshly rebuilt one)
- Headlight relays so new switch doesn’t also burn out
- Adjust hand-brake (I designed my own rear caliper mounts around Wilwood MC4 calipers but they don’t engage enough when the hand-brake lever is fully up)
- Fix side mirror positioning so I can actually see out of them
- Front plate mounts (Never ran a front plate in the States)
- Better solution for throttle cable (Had the cable end come loose on a test drive—not fun)
- Mount intake plenum again
- Some kind of air filter solution
- Make horn work with quick release wheel (I can connect it but then have to disconnect to use the QR so it’s not a good solution)
- Fab mounts for new grill
- Better headrest solution
- Finish front brake ducting
- Mount Datsun Competition oil pan
- Install Gleason Torsen LSD
- More dyno tuning
