that one guy Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Hello, haven't posted in a hot minute, but i need some help. I need the piece that the gas gap actually twists into for a 72 240z. I do'nt even know what to call it to search for it online, and there doesn't seem to be hardly any Z cars here in Colorado, at least down in the Springs area. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks much! Talyn Quote Link to comment

hobospyder Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Filler neck? Quote Link to comment
that one guy Posted September 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Colorado Springs, Co. I just updated that, my bad. And it's not the filler neck itself, it's the metal plate that holds in the gas cap. Currently all i have is a rubber tube with a big ass empty hole that a cap won't lock into. Quote Link to comment
nismosilvia Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 260z the same? Quote Link to comment
that one guy Posted September 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 I don't believe so? Anyone got anything on if a 260z one would work?... Quote Link to comment
hobospyder Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Upon googling the same images pop up Quote Link to comment
Rjawm Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 So if I understand correctly you are looking for this part and its name, sorry for the huge pic: I found it called a "Fuel Cap Flange" in this write up, where the pic is poached from: http://www.whiteheadperformance.com/1971-datsun-240z-restoration-project-rota-rbr-wheels-interior-prep-gas-cap-vent-hoses/#prettyPhoto And then I found the following part list on eBay, here http://www.ebay.com/itm/70-75-DATSUN-240Z-260Z-280Z-FUEL-FILL-TUBE-BOMBA-PETRO-GASOLINE-HOSE-NICE-/321400502525?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4ad4f678fd&vxp=mtr Hope that helps you out.

Rjawm Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Looks like the same dude has a second one on sale on eBay as well: http://www.ebay.com/itm/70-75-DATSUN-240Z-260Z-280Z-FUEL-FILL-TUBE-BOMBA-PETRO-GASOLINE-HOSE-NICE-ZINC-/321175131810?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4ac78796a2&vxp=mtr Quote Link to comment
Rjawm Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Ok, last link I'll post, promise. It's a part out thread on hybridZ: http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/118428-early-260z-partial-part-out-73-240z-parts/ It's a long thread started in June this year, so no promises it's still available, it was TL:DR Quote Link to comment
that one guy Posted September 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 See, i knew this was the best place to look! Thanks guys, it's a huge help!!! Quote Link to comment
Ranman72 Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 yes the 260 one is the same if you cant find it i might be able to dig one up Quote Link to comment
that one guy Posted September 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 I you have one for less the 75 bucks, that'd be awesome :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 The filler necks are fairly standard for North America the biggest change is the non leaded openings are smaller. Wouldn't surprise me if an F-150 could be unbolted and put on. Quote Link to comment
Eomund Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 http://www.carpartsmanual.com/ Microfiche :) actual part numbers ftw Quote Link to comment
Ranman72 Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 I believe this is only the 240 one the fuel neck is rubber through the bodey and this bolts it down this one I took off a 260 and looks like the filler neck clamps to it below the body the later models have a smaller gas cap and filler opening Quote Link to comment
Ranman72 Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 260 240 guess they are different Quote Link to comment
