Can anyone help me with a 1971 240Z gearbox problem?
Hi Guys, After restoring my car from radiator to differential including the engine I am still having problems. My NZ new car has a 5 speed gearbox and it started to make a bad noise on overrun in 2nd gear. I took it to a gearbox specialist who diagnosed too much lash. The box was reassembled with a ...

I'm slowly getting my mechanical issues sorted out. The (hopefully) last one is this: The car idles well at 900 rpm but when I am slowing down in 5th, 4th or 3rd etc at around 2000 rpm or less it shudders back and forth between the gearbox and differential and it seems to be felt in the universal jo...

Thanks a lot.djz wrote:You could talk to Damon at Rocky Auto on Port Hills Road, you may have actually met him at one of the Datsun Club cruises? He's just bought the business but I'm pretty sure he's operating as of now. He's very familiar with L series motors and carbs, he's got a 260C and a 1200 ute.

Can anyone help me with this problem: The rebuilt engine is back in the car but it's not at 100 percent, missing at low loading etc. I've done 600 miles to run it in so far. Can anyone recommend an old school mechanic in Christchurch who would be able to fine tune the timing/electrics (if required) ...

1971 Datsun 240z: From blown head gasket to full monty
Hi guys, You might remember earlier in the year I was looking for an E88 head so that I could fix up my car. The head had gone porous and there was engine coolant sitting on top of the number 4 piston. Ouch. I found a correct re-manufactured one out of California but as the block was also damaged (p...

Many thanks for Baker93 for his offer of an E88 head. I bought a re-manufactured one off eBay before I got to see his post. For some reason his reply to my topic didn't go to my email. Please don't post up how it might all turn to custard for me as it has already been consigned to the freighter. I k...

Wanted: Datsun 240Z L24 Engine
Hi, can anyone help me? I'm in (big) trouble as the top end of my engine has gone 'porous' and is a write off. The block has yet to be tested but at a minimum needs to be re-sleeved. Does anyone have an engine for sale or know of one for sale or lying in a shed etc. Many thanks, Mark http://i26.phot...

I had a post up in this thread about an unreliable starter motor/ignition barrel problem. The issue has totally solved itself. I think it has something to do with the car being garaged a lot of the time by previous owner(s) and the car not being driven enough. likewise, I think I had some stuck ring...
