LIST OF DEFECTS ITEMS I JUST RAN
OUT OF TIME TO FIX
· The new weather stripping
needs to be re-glued in certain areas such as the doors
· Small (penny size)
rust hole below the batter mount (common problem with Z’s) coated with POR-15
but never got it to the shop
· Front left side
fiberglass bumper needs to be re-glued to the bracket
· Rear deck cover needs
to be reinstalled
· Brakes squeal
especially when warm (Common Z problem)
· Paint chip on
passenger door and clear coat peel on driver side door
· Passenger door lock
not working
· Speedometer is 10
miles too fast…but who cares when you are cursing with the windows down listening
to the engine roar!
· Tachometer does not
work
· Clock does not work
· Driver side lock
works, but need to lift handle as you turn the key to unlock
· Power mirror switch
is located on left side by the hood release handle. Up is Down and Down is Up when
adjusting. This due to flipping the switch
from the console area to this location
· Choke has been moved
from console to bottom left side of the clutch (like old style high beam switch). Just pull it out with your toe before you
start…let her warm up for a few minutes and push back in with your foot.
· Turn signal works, but sometimes you have to hold down in order to engage. I am including a new (used one) hopefully it
works better

“Hi I am selling my 1974, Datsun 260Z I have been restoring since December 2007. I am accepting a US Government job in Japan and expect to be there for 5 years. So in fairness to her, I am looking for a good home for my baby. Ever since I bought her she has been garage kept and the only water she sees is when I wash her. When I found this car in Raleigh, NC she was in very good shape, but needed some TLC. Most importantly she had very little rust. Upon realizing that the floor pans were solid and not rusted, I knew I was on to something. I scooped her up and gave her a good home in Pinehurst, NC. Ever since I have been working on the car. Below is list of work I have done, but I am sure I am leaving some stuff out.” |
