Does anyone have the Nissan part number for the black air ducts that go on each side of the front of the engine compartment? Are they still available new? Mine are brittle and have pieces chipped off of them.

What's the best radiator you can buy for a 1971 240z that looks like the original one(with the fan shroud)? My dad said the ones from motorsport are crap; he went through 3 or 4 of them with his 260z because the kept leaking.

I have a stock '70 240Z, im getting ready to drop in a 5 speed from a '78 280Z. Looking at MSA and Black Dragon they both list different parts for '70-74, and 75-83 (non-turbo coupe). Which one do I get? Im using a refurbished stock flywheel. Thanks!

Ok. Went to start the car after hibernation..Heated warehouse, 18C/68F for the whole duration. (I know my head gasket is due around the no 6 cylinder..) Full choke, car started ok, but then, after 1 minute, even if I release the choke lever slightly as I do normally, the engine starts to putter, blurb, and exhaust did loud noise.. Press the gas, niet... dies.. Start the car again, same problem... I have checked: Gas: OK, I had a full gas tank in fall last year before storage Gas filter: OK I'm on my way to put a Pertronix, but before that, I suspect my tabarnak de pointes are causing the problem, even if they were changed at the end of last year's summer... Any help?

Recently replaced the old piston a/c compressor with a new rotary compressor. my z runs fine and idles at around 900-1000rpms with the a/c off. after running the a/c for about 15-20 minutes and i stop at a light or the car is left idle rpm drops to about 4-500 and eventually stalls out. don't know if this changes anything but the fuel pump was also replaced and had an electronic ignition installed as well. had the problem before I changed them but it still doing it now. any ideas, please help.

This may be a dumb question, but do you need to do anything to prep a transmission or differential for storage (months to a year or more)? Both have been removed from operating cars and have had the oil drained. Should they be stored filled with new oil? I bought a can of Sta-bil fogging oil and was considering using that instead of filling them with oil. Has anyone used that before? I read on HybridZ that someone sprayed the interior of a differential with WD-40 and opened it later and it was completely rusted inside. -Mike

In my 3.1L motor that I am building with a V07 crank, I had it lightened by turning down the counterweights (knife-edged) and would like to take it one step further with milling a hole in each of the rod journals. Just curious if anyone here has done this and if so what diameter hole they milled (or drilled). It appears to be possible to do but would require repluging the oil galley hole inside the newly drilled lightening hole. Seems like this could remove quite a bit of material off of the crank. __________________ Scott www.cardomain.com/ride/3154164 3.1L 280Z in progress.
