Would be interesting to start a discussion thread mods you wish previous owners HADN'T made!

Go to this youtube video: Go to approx. 1.0 minutes. This is LHD VIN#16 which was one of the first cars sold to the general public in the USA. The car was originally gold and was repainted white in the early 1970's. The stickers/decals were applied to the time of the repaint. Its 1970's cool.

https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/1971-datsun-240z-manual/SSE-AD-20627007/ Looks like a good buy. Would also be handy to know the VIN for the database. Seller lists it as a May 1971 so should be <1200.

Hi twosixtyzed I was wondering how you were getting on with this; thanks for providing the update. Its good to hear that you got there in the end. If it feels a bit spongy there might be a little bit of air in there still but it sounds like you are going to take it to a shop for them to have a look at. Did you bleed the new master?? No problems with the help...thats what this place is all about!

Hi twosixtyzed Looks like you are making progress. Sometimes there are casualties so dont worry about it. Im suprised by how tight they must have been as I assumed they would have been removed recently in order to recondition the booster. Your options sound good and your choice depends on how much "fun" you want to have and how much you have had already. There is still plenty of "fun" left in this job. If it were me I would remove the line and have a replacement made. There might be a mobile guy that can come to your place to make the new line. Be careful and make sure they use the same size flare nuts; there is nothing worse than having to use two different sized spanners to do the same job ie remove the lines. I was told a while back by my friend in SA who made his own lines that the correct size can be hard to find, but that was a while back. Dont get down on it. Trying = experience. Keep us posted.

No problems, Im happy to help out. Pull as much of the old fluid out of the master with a syringe before you take is off. Have plenty of old towels ready just in case. When you get it back you will more than likely have to "bench bleed" the master; search youtube as this is our modern day friend. Keep us posted.

Sorry for my dribs and drabs posts on this one. If you dont have a flare nut spanner already get the best quality one that you are able to budget for as the cheaper ones tend to open up a little as you are using them. If you need to know the size please let me know I dont know it off the top of my head anymore as I havent "spannered" for a while but Im happy to check my toolbox over the weekend if you need the correct size.

Make sure you get the correct size flare nut spanner / line spanner so you dont do any damage to the flare nuts. Start soaking them in penetrating oil now to make loosening them easier, even though they would have been loosened to reco the booster.

Sounds like it wasnt put back together too well. Was it honed or sleeved? Was a new rubber seal kit installed? It will be the rear rubber seal inside the master around the pushrod that is leaking. Master needs to come back off to fix it. Hope this helps. Please keep us updated as to your progress. <Edit> The seal/s in question are not around the pushrod; I wasnt thinking straight when I typed the reply. The seal around the pushrod at the rear is a dust boot, the seals that would be leaking are inside the bore of the master cylinder.

carsales | Australia’s No.1 Car Website – carsales.com.au What a lovely example of the 2+2. Makes me wish I had kept my old 1975 2+2...she was my first car.

C.A.R. doesnt find cars...cars find C.A.R.

Better starting point or worse starting point than last time 'round?

Not familiar with car but know the seller.

VIN 338 https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/1970-datsun-240z-manual/SSE-AD-20241647/ Located about 10 minutes drive from where I live and has been there many years. A friend told me several years ago there was a z car there but I didnt realise it was 338. Looks like to has a 72 model year dash in it for some reason.

Hi Huw The radio you have doesnt look right for a 71 as it doesnt have the vertically mounted power antenna switch. What month is your 71? I have 09/71 production date and it has the radio with the vertically mounted power antenna switch.

https://burnsandcoauctions.com.au/portfolio/1973-datsun-240z-coupe-6-cyl-manual/ A few "why would yous" on this one. The replacement floor pans are interesting as they have no drain holes. Likewise the replacement rails.
