Current feedback requested. Including some pictures for additional review and feedback. It may be best do the floor pans as we're already addressing the rails. Bad Dog's seem to be more beefy and I am wondering of there'd be any concern with material type/size using the Bad Dog rails with floor pans from elsewhere. And only the front frame rail is/was damaged. But comtemplating do the rear as well. The passenger side is also worse off than the driver side. However, contemplating doing driver side as well. I am aware of other outlets (Datsun Z Parts, MSA, Z Car Depot, etc). Considering the timeline of the posts of now closed threads, how relevant is the informati…

Breaker Breaker. Anyone have a CB radio in their Z last century? Or was I the only one? Those were the days, Good Buddy. Mounted it under the glove box and the antenna was attached to the rear window louvers before I upgraded to a magnetic base antenna. Catch you on the flip side. Dennis

I don't need anything fancy. Just looking for one somebody has used and been happy with. Just enough to fit well and keep the sun and rain off it. It's parked outside in So.California. Doesn't need to have a lock on it or anything. I can stop by Motorsport Auto and pick one up if they have an option you guys like. I'm also happy to order online.

In working through the refurb of a group of fuel rails I came across one with some unique properties. I'm hoping @kats or anyone else with insight can help me identify the unit - is it possibly a JDM / Fairlady part? The first pic is the unique rail with a typical '71-72 240Z rail behind it for comparison. The second pic shows two unique properties: the supply and return nozzles are equal length versus offset, and the first mounting bracket is fixed - not on a pivoting insulator. The third pic shows a small brace installed in reverse. The fourth pic shows a wide mounting bracket versus a narrow one. Any input would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Hello, I am rebuilding the MC on my car. I as able to remove the primary piston assembly from the master cylinder but the secondary piston assembly is stuck in the housing. I only saw one snap ring on the diagram. Should it slide out like the first piston assembly or Is there a trick to get it out? I don't want to get too rough with it and scratch the bore. Thanks, Bill

Went to cruise night Wednesday. Probably my last for this year. They have a Halloween "Trunk or Treat", but it's turned into a zoo! Always fun to show up with the non-Detroit car. First time all year another Datsun showed up. This is a right hand drive JDM car with Fairlady badging.

I am going to check some of the fuel injection components on my 1976 280z. I have a Sears Digital Volt/Ohm meter and I am a little confused on which setting to use. On my meter under ohms I have the following: 200 2000 20K 200k 2000k When I use the "200" setting I have a resistance of "1" just using the probes themselves. Therefore my confusion. Thanks in advance for any help.

Customer who bought my L24 brought me his car to install the engine. It had a horrible knock but ran. He left the other day a happy guy with his new power plant . I was able to tear his motor down to show him some of the issues before he left . He had bought the car and it basically blew up in him 2 days after he got it. The seller didn’t take any responsibility for any engine issues. He had just put it together and knew it was good. Pictures tell a thousand lies. I didn’t get a picture of number 5 rod journal that had spun its bearing

All the amazing restorations on this site gave me the bug to make mine "like new" again. The various posts have given me a lot of good information but I still have several questions- most are probably rookie/stupid questions! I have the car down to the shell and I'm getting things prepped to go to the body shop for some rust work and new 918 orange paint. My question of the day is about the various rubber coated wire hold downs. Do these just get painted and then bent around the harness post paint? Will this cause the paint to crack? When they media blast the car will the rubber tab covers get destroyed? Thanks!

AJapanese Army Air Force Nakajima Ki-44 Shoki "Tojo" interceptor found by U.S. forces at Oppama airfield in Japan in the immediate aftermath of the war. This one was apparently test flown by the U.S., hence the American markings on it.
