Re: New Menu bar button

Wow this is a great tool for us, thank you. As I'll be likely ordering a timing chain kit and clutch kit for my 240Z, this is very timely!

Transmission rebuilders and Zinc plating?

Hi guys, I have a 5-speed of unknown condition- any recommendations for Datsun transmission rebuilders in the area? Also any suggestions on zinc platers who can replate the hardware for 240Z SU carbs and misc engine-compartment hardware? Anyone have good results with "Sav-On" in Phoenix? L...

A classic chase from Chips.

Unfortunately the Datsun truck meets its demise as it takes a flaming dive off a cliff in dramatic Chips fashion!

Re: Project Z Update

Wow that’s looking great Randy! I received my carb rebuild kit and now need to buy one of your float synch tools. Will give me a good excuse to look at your handiwork on this silver Z!

Thanks Carl, interesting and glad to hear fuel stabilizer helped. Lesson learned for me...add some fuel stabilizer, and drive the car more often!

Re: Ethanol fuel and limited-use Datsuns

thanks Randy, sounds good, I'm expecting my rebuild kit this week or early next. Maybe I can stop by this weekend if you're around and buy one of your float synch tools and pick your brain for tips and tricks. I got the nozzles pretty clean and have the jets working smoothly, but would value any tip...

Ethanol fuel and limited-use Datsuns

Hi guys- this is a combo general and 240Z-specific post so apologies if it's in the wrong category. After I spent a few hours trying to get my 240Z started over the weekend, it reinforced how modern fuel and Datsuns/old cars that get limited use are a bad combination. And I need to drive my Datsuns ...
