Unless it is rust free (haha) then the price is on the high side IMHO.

Yep, just form a closed loop.

You're not a fan of the original fuel rail with the fuel return?

Might require some attention here - seems to be some signs of rust behind?

Love the look of the 260Z badges and the tips on how to refurb them. Interested to know what brand your new windscreen is? Edit: Looked a bit closer and looks to be an "FY" (Fuyao) - had not seen one of these with the black "masking" around the edges of the windscreen.

Seems people are looking to catch the wave of high(er) prices : https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/burwood/cars-vans-utes/1971-datsun-240z-5-speed-manual-burwood-victoria/1271831437 https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/burwood/cars-vans-utes/1971-datsun-240z-5-speed-burwood-victoria/1271836865 https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/gymea/cars-vans-utes/1977-datsun-260z-coupe/1271881319

Maybe an option? https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/burwood/engine-engine-parts-transmission/datsun-nissan-240z-240k-c110-e30-mint-condition-racing-cylinder-head/1271288580

Looking more of a red colour now?

Datsun 240Z $30,000 Katoomba, Katoomba New South Wales Datsun 240z 1973 matching numbers, unfinished project has not been started in 15 years needs rust repairs ,paint and put back together also extra parts . will swap for a 260z 2 2 finished and registered https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/medlow-bath/cars-vans-utes/datsun-240z/1271145916

Welcome to the forum. My 260z had only been off the road for 10 years but, as you have found with the visible rubber bits (seals etc.), anything rubber tends to deteriorate with age so I expect all of the underbody rubber parts will need attention (steering rack mounts, sway bar rubber, ball joints, lower control arm bushes, engine mounts, gearbox mount and diff mount. That being said, given yours has done so few kms and has been garaged, the rubber may not be that bad? One way to find out what is needed is to take it for a roadworthy - you will get a nice itemised list :-)

Thanks Dan, I will see how I go with the fuse removal diagnosis.

A rubber "guide"/stopper is secured to this

And mentioning that the gearbox and diff have been fully reconditioned to "as new".

This is the best I could do with the wheel still in place.

What browser are you using?

PMd

So what are people's guesses on the colour - yellow?

But they have been honest about the kms : 553,602 km. Unless it is a typo with an extra "5" put in by mistake or a very shrewd scammer?

But no mention of the 260Z https://www.caradvice.com.au/925823/ford-falcon-gtho-phase-iii-sets-new-auction-record-1-15-million/

Could be from water thrown up by the tyres entering through the drain hole(s) near the bottom seam next to the front & rear jacking points.

I think there is - one of these?

Sorry to hear that. Unless you are happy experimenting with them by maybe blocking off the first progression hole etc. then going genuine Weber DCOE seems the way to go.

Hopefully you bought these via PayPal less than 6 months ago. If so, use the buyer protection resolution process to say these are not fit for purpose and get a refund!

What octane fuel are you using, as you will have a higher compression ratio with flat top pistons? L28 w/N42, dished pistons and OEM gasket = 8.29:1 L28 w/N42, flat top pistons and OEM gasket = 9.82:1

Not sure what sync meter you are using but on my L28 the STE Sync meter gives a reading of 5 with the Weber 45s at an idle of 1000rpm. - not sure what it would show at your high rpm. What size choke was supplied with your carbs - 34mm?
