Old school, but cool set up. What ECU does it run?

Prices are always sticky on the way down. People are reluctant to sell for less than what they saw at peak. Not a lot of 240z's for sale. Lots of 2+2s however.. -
I hear you, it's a long slog. But just remember it will be done right and will be worth it when finished. My 2 year old son is a time thief. Constantly up to mischief so I can't have him with me in the workshop.

Anyone ordered 1 yet?

71 and 73 model years are the most common. 72 being the least common and 70s are less common than 71 and 73 but more common than 72s. Weird but just the way they flowed into the country. -
You may be able to find them on YAJ! ? Actually I found a pair here. https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f1062702578

Set of 4?

Now do the same for an early 240z haha.

Problem is the Kobe Seiko wheels are 7" wide.
-
Any photos of what these look like? I'm after the vintage looking tyres. All the photos online via Google Image show generic images.

It's also Hulk green... which might look ok to the Millennial YouTuber crowd, but on an old Z looks out of place IMHO. -
Soon (if they are fixed*).

Some updates for the old girl. Installed the rebuilt distributor with 16 degree initial advance and 16 mechanical additional advance. No more pre-ignition. More updates soon.

Just stamp them the correct dates lol.

Hi guys, I just bought a set of Kobe Seiko Rally Mags (repops) and they currently have Advan Type D 195/70R14 tyres fitted. Problem is they are date stamped 2017, so 5 years old now and shipping with them attached to the wheel will double the cost of freight from say $700 to $1300 odd.. So I'll likely have to discard them. But I want those tyres still! Problem is nobody seems to sell them locally here and they appear to be special order. Does anyone know if someone local would offer them? Or know of an online place to order which won't cost a bomb shipping wise? I'm open to alternatives but previous experience finding 14' tyres that are not aimed at the trailer market are limited to date. https://japanesenostalgiccar.com/yokohama-rubber-expands-selection-of-advan-hf-type-d/ I am tempted to keep the tyres on just so I can fit the wheels right away without having to wait. But from the description of the listing they are quite worn too in terms of tread. Any suggestions welcome!

Hey mate, I'm keen on these. -
Certainly left better than it arrived.

I found this marker recommended on classiczcars thread and ordered 1 for myself to test. So far I've done a tired looking radio facia and a centre console finisher plate for early style console. It's not quite as good as the factory chrome finish, but it's very close and much better than the peeling old original look that most have by now. Plus using this method you don't need to send it off for vacuum chrome plastic plating - which is quite expensive and you risk having it damaged in transit so win win if you ask me. The hobby pen is for painting toy robots. I found it on eBay for $20-$30 delivered which isn't cheap but I suspect will go a long way before it runs out. The only downside is that it shows up all the imperfections in the original plastic survey. So all those little dents accrued over years of wear and tear. But I keep looking at the reflection off the radio bezel chrome and think for the money it's hard to beat. These were just tests, in future I'd paint (with black vinyl paint) the plastics first to give them a fresh black look and then do the inlays second.

Pencil me in, not sure how many Z's I'll bring. Probably 1 if I'm lucky.

I actually like them blacked out, I find the chrome a bit busy and fussy on the 260z tail lamps. Not sure about the white face gauges however, it's a bit 90s for me. Keen to see how the Skillard Grilles look on the bonnet once installed. As I contemplated getting them myself.

Hi Folks, To preemptively remove scammers who are sending PMs without being validated members (0 posts only). I've taken the decision to cull a bunch of members who had 0 posts. I'm sure a few people who signed up and never posted are legitimate, maybe even have sent PMs to some of you to ask questions but not participated in the public boards. That's ok, they will just have to sign up again if they are legit and maybe make an introductory post. But from now on I'll be regularly removing members with 0 posts to try and prevent any more of these scammers from operating here. Let me know if you have any concerns? Thanks, Gavin.

Did you black out the chrome bits? What colour did you paint the tail light finisher panel (the light grey / silver colour)?
-
I had a couple more people message me about attempted scams via PMs from users with no posts (0 post count). I've since deleted a bunch of users who haven't posted on here before and joined in the last couple of years. Jump bumping this up again in the hope of keeping everyone alert.
