  1. Here's what you need to do. 1. Go to the beginning of the responses to your original question and read all of the posts. 2. Go to the beginning of the responses to your original question and REREAD all of the posts. 3. Turn on the "voice over" accommodation in the browser software and have your computer read each response to you. If you're more comfortable with Spanish, use Google Translate. 4. Do what's been said about solving the problem. The answer is there. Other than coming to Panama and doing it for you, there's not much more help to offer. Use the advice you were given. Dennis

  3. 8x pallets in fact with 55x headers and exhausts. But I'm also stocking spare parts, working on a trackday rear muffler and have just completed a 280ZX prototype complete system along with an OEM manifold to my line downpipe for those who don't want to change headers. I'll be doing the same for 240/260Zs and 280Zs - downpipe from OEM manifolds to my line ! Keeping still is really moving backwards so I'm keeping myself busy !
  4. This photo is from the New York International Auto Show in April, 1970. The picture is from the article which included the famous conversation between Albrect von Goertz and Bob Sharp. If the story of the crushed roof is true, the timeline would mean that this is a different car from the Boston show or the Montreal show. If Bob Sharp received his car in February 1970 then this is not HLS30-00006. Take a look at the trellis over the display. That's the award winning display design used by Datsun on the 1970 car show circuit.
  5. Read the first line of thread, it's a joke.
  6. Thread probably belongs on Hybridz at this point, but anyway, the intake is on with 550 RC injectors.
  7. Thanks Robert. Hopefully your situation wont be as bad as we are thinking. It really is a lot of work repairing the rockers. I should be around when time comes if you do indeed need inner rockers. So I am thinking about offering Seat brackets, floor pans and maybe floor rails along with my inner rocker panels. As of now, I am wanting to offer seat brackets first. Pictures below are what the seat brackets will most likely look like. The pictures are from my 240z. I am not sure on price yet. These will be made from 16g CRS. which is a tad bit thicker than stock or same thickness. I may offer the first set of seat brackets to someone for a killer deal just because I need to know how well the fitment is as I dont know anyone local or have another 240z to test fit and my car is already installed. PM if you are interested in this offer. Below are pictures of what the Floor pans will kind of look like. Above are some pictures as well. I want to first get the tunnel side of the pans figured out. These will be made from 20g CRS which is the same thickness as stock. 18G is to thick to match up with the stock thickness of the tunnel. The pans will also have the stepped lip on the front and rear just like factory. I also need to figure out the little indention/pocket on the side towards the rocker panels. Not sure what it is but seems like the it came factory with it. Let me know if this would be wanted products. Thanks, Prospect-D https://bwpeck8.wixsite.com/prospect-d
  8. Thought I would share the story of finding my latest Z -2/71. So I'm on facebook looking at a club page for a local sports car club. There is a pic someone has shared of an old Nissan sitting in a junkyard. The pic only includes the engine compartment , but the pic shows someone lifting the valve cover to show off a VERY clean valve train. The post said something like,'looks like a new head". I could tell enough from the pic that this was an early Z. So my alarms go off and I immediately start trying to track down the poster. I'm wanting to know where this is, and the guy is not sure where he was(really). I guess he was cruising with friends and didn't pay attention to the name of the yard he was at. After pestering him(messaging), he came up with Dave's junkyard in some town southern Indiana-2 hours from me. So after googling I find Dave and call. So I explain to Dave that I saw a pic of an early Z on a facebook page and wanted to find out more info. Dave proceeds to ask who's facebook page did I see it on. I told him it was a local sports car club. He asks which one so he can look it up? So I'm thinking -why do you want to look at someone else's facebook page to find something in your yard. Then I come to find out his business has his own facebook page. So I spend minutes going around in circles trying to find a car on facebook pages that is probably out his back window. So I just get directions to his place because it warrants a look. I tell him I will try and get out there soon. 3 days later he calls me and says he has 2 Z cars in his lot. Not sure what years he has(though he has titles for both cars) UGH! This all occurs over the holidays . Finally I drive out there and we go back in his yard( couple hundred yards) and there it sits #22971 . The other car was a 83 zxt 2=2 Dave actually turns out to be a very nice guy just making a living and staying up with todays technology, but struggles. I bought a bunch of parts off of the car including a super clean E31 sitting on there. I didn't have the means to bring the whole car home yet, and wasn't sure about. Dave just kept saying-"I Need the money". I left with carbs, head, bumper and other stuff . After a couple of days I called Dave to see what he wanted for the whole car. Dave says-" I need the money-going on vacation". We settled on a price and I now own it. Though its sitting on the ground with no wheels, it's a fresh kill and looks to be a southern car(found a Georgia plate). Very restorable or could be cut up for excellent body parts. Now I need to go and get it. I now own 3 -240z and my wife is over the moon With no place to store them -thanks Rick for the use of your business lot.
