The DCOM series of weber carbs were the replacement carbs for the Weber DCOE production. The Italian Weber DCOE production lines ceased in the middle of the 1980's and these carbs were the next...

Loads of good advice here guys thanks. Some amusement too lol. It' seems to be a purely personal choice but there is quite a lot to think about. I am rebuilding 2 engines at the moment so I suppose...

yeah cool, that's kind of what I thought but just wanted confirmation. I know here in the UK and probably in the States as well, we have Castrol Classic, don't know how much it is but thought i might...

Thanks for that. Like you say, I am after an oil that's suitable rather than the best as "best" is as you say a personal preference. I read in this magazine article about the frothing of modern oils...

I posted this topic on a UK Z site and have had a few suggestions already. Namely Millers 20/50 classic and Valvoline 20W-50 racing synthetic oil so far. Anyone use either of these?

Hello everyone, we all know that the most expensive oil isn't always the best and especially not for classic cars. So, just which oil is the most suitable for the older Z cars. I know there was an...

Well sadly, the Army (arseholes) have forced my hand and posted me 18months ahead of time so I'm not going to have a garage! I'm furious with them. So I think I'm going to sell this project. Also...

Thanks for a lightning reply Alan.

I've found a sill panel for sale on one of the other Z club websites and it says it's for a 240Z or 260Z. Can this be right? I thought that part of the car was a different length in the 240 and 260....

Thanks Charlie, I phoned them on friday and they'll get a quote back to me for monday I suppose. Thanks also for the heads up on soda blasting. I didn't know that and they don't tell you!

I know someone on here will have something to say about this but you "can" drive the car without the clutch functioning correctly. Treat it like a crash box. Apply pressure into the next gear whil...

Right! I've got the rear lights out now. Who ever it was that suggested i buy a Dremel tool.... GOOD advice. It was fairly easy with the new tool. I've also detached the fuel tank and that doesn't...

Could anyone tell me roughly what i should be paying for a replacement windshield? I am in the UK

Cheers

Wow, as few as that? I'm quite surprised. I'd done a bit of reading about 240Z sales here in the UK and how they were few, mainly through cost i suppose.

My guess is that a significant number of...

I've had a look around on this site and the Internet more and I still can't find out how many 240Z's are left in britain! Obviously MANY have died of rust here in the UK and also crashes.

Please...

Charlie, is your pangbourne the one that about a twenty minute drive away from me in Abingdon? If so I'd like to take you up on your offer. At the moment it looks like I'm going to have a very busy...

i've got one of those as well it's just finding a decent grinding head for it. I've bought some real crap on ebay. Unfortunately soldiering keeps me away from the shops!

Just nto take this thread back to the begining a moment: Here in the UK, what you call Premium Unleaded Gas costs (on average) £1.09 a liter at the moment, that's about $1.75. X that by 4.5 to get a...

When you pulled the acorn nuts out, did it damage the plastic? I can't get to some of the screw heads with my angle grinder and I really don't want to put holes in the rear panel, it's one of the few...

well it turned over fine, no problems there but it wouldn't start. I'm going to renovate the engine anyway, a friend of mine is a good mechanic with quite a bit of experience on classic engines but...

haha, probably. God knows what cancer causing chemicals we used to use in the manufacture of day to day things! lol

Lubu, the problem at the moment is that I'm just not sure what the hell i need exactly at the moment! lol. Some things that look beyond repair might not be and vice verser! But thank you for the info...

Does anyone know if the seat covers are identicle? IE, would it matter if the left cover went on the right seat?

does anyone who has restored a wreck 240Z before live any where near me in Oxfordshire?
