My grandpa recently told me I'll inherit his original 1972 240z. Any recommendations for good z communities to join?Things to watch out for?

Now put it back on the flatbed trailer and bring it home, cause it’s horrible in the snow
twistedVAINS
With LSD i think it would be a blast! Especially when you hit those trees.

I will ALWAYS your a 240Z. My dad had one of the first imported ones. I wished we'd been able to keep it.
crackblind
Damn autocorrect: I will ALWAYS upvote as 240Z!
Khrome
I had a 280z. Was never in this nice condition. Makes me wish I still it.
SilentScreamsX
My dad had one of these. Then my step mother smashed it to bits with an axe because he was going to sell it to my mum.
evergreentt
Story time...
SilentScreamsX
Thats pretty much it. She's a psycho and didn't like that my dad was selling it cheaply to my mum. They're still together believe it or not.

What kind of a man can tolerate that

GentryMarine
Good luck with finding parts! Hard to come by and expensive. Hopefully you can fabricate well.
PopeyeTheSailor

sirrobbifo
The money is strong with this one.
whiskerbiscuit
It's a facsimile, it's not a genuine Datsun. Very inexpensive.

I don't understand this comment

Depends how much work the owner did vs how much was was farmed out. Doing work yourself can gets proj like this done for a reasonable amount
Rivit13
I so miss my 72 240z, thank you for sharing this.
Nrpain

I have a story about a 240Z. A few years ago, I went to my wife’s grandmother’s 90th birthday party. While there, I sat at a table with...
thehoundjr
with an uncle and my FIL. The uncle (Mike) told me this story about this 240z he bought and how it was his favorite car. Mike died a year...
thehoundjr
later from cancer. Sometime after he died, I was at a grocery store and stopped by the hot wheels section for my 2yo son. I saw a 240z...
thehoundjr
thought of Mike and smiled but told myself i would get it next time. My wife ends up going to the grocery store that same day and randomly..
thehoundjr
Gets the car. Wife had no idea mike loved 240zs. I thought that itself was interesting. Either way, I texted the picture of it to my MIL...
thehoundjr
and told her that it was Mike’s favorite car and she texted back “Thanks, this means a lot. Today is the 1yr anniversary of Mike’s death”...
warmNchewey
That engine organization is clean as fuck. Bold. Organized.
huckitchuckit
Glad to see it is not an ls1 swap
ale624
Hard piped coolant hoses tho? The little movement those little silicone couplers give it surely can't be enough if an engine mount gets slop
Quismiff
Urethane engine and transmission mounts to help transfer torque through the driveline betterer
ale624
yea, but they dont last forever... the hard coolant pipe just seems like a bad idea with 0 advantages....

Clean 240 with an RB in it. Now I need new pants, thanks...
KyleButNotThatKyle
What's an RB?

Model series for the engine, Nissan made a few different ones

Engine drone a different Nissan. Only motor heads and/or fanboys care or want to know, generally.

wait is that a mf RB26DET ?? that would be so insane in such a light chassis

MCM on YouTube has one that makes 450 hp (i think). Apparently stupid fun and terrifying on track. Def makes me qant one
wekilledbambi03
You watch Mighty Car Mods?
shuya82
Nope, I’ll check it out though.
wekilledbambi03
It’s an Australian YouTube series. They recently did a rb conversion on a 240 they bought from Japan.
TheVermonster
Carve out some time. Especially for their recent 2 part, almost 4 hour long movie about their trip to Japan.
shuya82
Love that sort of thing, I’m in!
Juicytoast
Love me some race seats with no head support.
DoorCellar
I don't understand those seats. If you're actually sat in it how do your feet hit the pedals and your knees not hit the wheel?
TheDrunkenWrench
I'm 5'7", this has never been an issue.
sometimespeopleeatpoop
Step 1, be a small Japanese person
victell
Ergonomically they're not too different from stock seats I think.
DoorCellar
Stock seats normally have the angle of the bit you sit on more in parallel with the bottom of the car I think.
victell
I've been thinking about something like those for my e30
Juicytoast
If you plan on racing it, don't get seats with no head support. It a good way to end up with a broken neck.
victell
Getting rear ended in traffic by some idiot on their phone is more likely.
victell
If I was racing I'd have a HANS seat
hep0710510
Or hope you don't get rear ended too hard..

Whiplash used to be a thing with older cars. I wonder how bad it actually is? I think it needs to be severe to actually kill a person.
twistedVAINS
No just die or worse live in a wheel chair for the rest of your days.
