I guess I should have marked my headlight buckets (the metal "boob" that is installed in the fenderwell and has the alignment ring that actually holds the headlight bulb) before I had them powdercoated. How do I determine which one is the right and which one is the left...? Thanks...Ryals (I did not take pics at my garage today and it is 25 miles from my house, so if there is anyone with pictures, I would appreciate it...!)

I have a buddy who is restoring a 72/240, he bought the car as a shell and the rest of it was in boxes, he thinks 30-40% of the fasteners are gone and he is trying to figure out what is missing. I can help him some but he wants to have enough of each type of fastener on hand, does anyone know of some kind a list that would state how many of each size is needed to complete the car? Thanks, Chris

Charcoal Canister 1 2 3

While futzing with my car I decided to check the operation of the carbon canister. The only real function is the vacuum controlled valve the activate the purge cycle (pull vapor from the can to the engine intake vacuum). What I found was the valve would not close in the absence of vacuum at the signal line (ported vacuum small hose). I test it using a hand pump and vigorously pumping. Now maybe in the presence of a constant vacuum source it would "catch", the design of the valve would tend to do this. I could make it catch by simply applying some pressure to the top of the valve, but that was not enough for me. I removed the valve cap, and found a good diaphragm, but it h…

Some of you will remember me (LBO730 - Bryan) from a few years back for developing the reproduction early style shift boots, emergency brake boots etc. for the early Z cars. You guys gave me overwhelmingly great support on that project. I'm still doing lots of stuff in upholstery and leathercraft. You can see a photo of the leather interior I did in my 75 280 in my photos. I wanted to see if you guys think there would be any interest in good quality leather wallets, key fobs, belts, wrist cuffs, mouse pads, phone cases, guitar straps, coasters etc. and maybe even purses & totes for the Z crazy females, all of which would be customized with something Z related. IE …

I bought a 240z recently that was originally from AZ and was in storage for a long time. The car has an original Nissan exhaust system on it - exhaust manifold, front pipe, center section and rear. The original part numbers are embossed on the center resonator and the rear muffler (20050-E4150 and 20100-E4150 respectively). Both are in very good condition. 95% of the hardware is there also including the clamps, hangers, and chrome exhaust tip. Any ideas on what it's worth? I am going to restore the car, but not don't know if I will keep these parts on it.

I was researching a number of articles in the Tech Article Sections and noticed that many of them that had embedded links were dead links. Some were pictures, some were links to other articles. Is there some way to get to this information or are they just obsolete?

Recently while I was reinstalling my exhaust I happened to notice my rear most vent hose (180 degree section) has collapsed. So After reading most of the prior posts I could locate, I have two basic questions: -what is the inside diameter of the upper rear vent tube on the tank? -is the inside diameter of the hose that connects to that tube “critical”? help is appreciated.

As many of you are aware, I brought my 72 S30 to SZR Pro, in Houston, Texas, for a top to bottom evaluation of the car, and for any resultant work. The car was there for many weeks. When I picked it up, I had a long conversation with the mechanic who did most of the actual work on the car. He told me that he really liked the car and had been doing burnouts in it. I’ve been extremely dissatisfied with the quality of SZR’s work. I’ve been recently going back and forth with Brad, SZR’s manager, about the propriety of the burnouts. He gave the following explanation: “No, he didn't admit that he did burnouts in your car, but burnouts in sports cars on private pro…
