It's certainly nice to know a bit of the history of it. Just missing the few years now from 1976 to about 2002. I was quite amazed so see that post from the original owner. Thanks for the link Gav.

Hi smugley, The car is still alive it's at my place. No idea how it got down here. It looks exactly the same except it has deteriorated somewhat as it had been sitting outside without cover for about 10 years. It now needs sills, rear of floor replaced and quite a bit of work on the doors. If it had of been looked after it would have been any easy resto. Thanks for the history. I was looking at the photos and thought that roll cage mounts on the roof just like mine and the floor mounts are the same too, just my car is more rusty in the floor, weird...... then it clicked that it was a younger version of my car. I have spent the last two weeks on the welder fixing holes in the doors and it wasn't these ones I had mistakenly listed mine as 761 when it was 741.Originally orange. The original owner might be quite sad if he saw the state of it now, but at least it's still alive.

Just realised I made a mistake on the chassis no., it's 741.

Hi, I'd like to take the front lower control arms and front hubs if they're still available and you're happy to post. Thanks, Greg

Thanks for the info. As long as the butterflies look like they are in sync and seal up properly I can't there being any issues with them. They might be my pick.

The throttle bodies I showed from 'Engineered Performance' appear to be a different company to 'EFI hardware' and the ones made there. I am still thinking my cheap way with the home made throttle bodies and injectors mounts on the manifold placed close to head may be ok. Unfortunately the manifold I have is a Redline one and use the NA bolt pattern. These mounting bolts will probably get in the way of teh injectors mounts. The better alternative was the Harada manifold that uses the EFI mounting bolts. I did contact them through their website email address about buying one but didn't get a response from them, which is why I went with the Redline manifold. http://www.jcy.co.jp/hrd/intake.html

Hi Lurch, I had looked that complete set up. It looks very nice, but it was quite a bit. I had also considered the individual pro street throttle bodies. They look good too and the air bleed is a nice thing to have. I did wonder about the method for retaining the injectors as didn't look as sturdy as the other ones I was looking at. I also wondered with the injector appearing to sit well out if they may foul and air box. A couple of options there.

So if I don't buy them from ebay and from the supplier in Hong Kong will they be better quality then? Hong Kong supplier https://wholesaler.alibaba.com/product-detail/throttle-body-45DCOE_60511269386.html?spm=a2700.7724838.0.0.d6IYnA I do like the Jenvey heritage throttle bodies, but at $1000 each that is way too much fro me. I'm hopiing to get the complete efi set done with a decent computer for about $3500. This is another option. I made a throttle body some years back out of two 1 3/4" SUs. I had no use for it at the time. I just did it to see if it would work. I could make a set like this for little cost, but I yet haven't worked out a good way to mount the injectors. In the manifold is a possibility.

Hi, I was planning to run throttle body injection on my car (when I get it back together) and was after people's thoughts on throttle body injection setups. It'll be NA L28. I have a good understanding of Weber DCOEs and efi. so not after the pro and cons of each, just people's thoughts on what throttle bodies are about with DCOE mounting pattern. I will also be able to set the efi up myself and so that's not an issue. I've done a bit of searching and what looks like the best option are these ones from Engineered Performance in Aus. They look similar to the Jenvey ones from the UK, but a little cheaper. Here's the link. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/THROTTLE-BODY-INJECTION-45DCOE-EFI-bare-TB-unit-Weber-Gemini-Escort-Datsun-BMW-/282472336851?hash=item41c4a9cdd3:g:d-oAAOSwPCVX2dQT I've found them on the ALI wholesale website for $210 USD posted. I was going to order from there but you need to be a registered company and the minimum order is four. Being over $1000 I would also get hit with the import tax. So the margin on top to buy locally is less than $80 AUD each which is not that much. Has anyone got any experience with these? If so what did they think? Regards, Greg

Hi, I'm after a grille for my 240Z. I also need a front bumper. I know I can get a repro bumper, but would prefer an original one if I can get one at a reasonable price. Regards, Greg

Yes it was. It looked very similar to the one in your avatar, except the paint was less shiny. Thanks for looking after it. Happy to buy it back at the same price. I saw the l28 turbo manifold on gumtree the other day for $180. I've been waiting to see the old girl back out at Baskerville.

Project 'Black Hole' Not quite a gem

I did try putting a photo up, but couldn't get it to work. It would be an unknown car as it was sitting outside under a tree for about 10 years in a stripped condition rusting away. I suspect it's been a long time since it was on the road. I was really looking for a project that was a bit more complete, but you have to take what you can get these days. Chassis no. is HS30-00741.

Hi, I live in Tassie and have recently bought a 240Z. It a bit of a project because it's just a bare body on wheels, but it did come with a lot of parts. I've previously owned a 240Z and 260Z and so have a bit of experience with them, but this one is quite a big project for me. It needs everything from the body work, suspension, brakes through to the drive line. My plan at this stage is road/club day car with a NA L28 with EFI. It's all manageable for me, but it's going to take me a while. I've found the forum a very good source of information and I'm sure it and it's members will be a good help to me in getting it back on the road. Just thought I'd say hello. Greg
