Gotcha. So when you go back, pull off the brake master cylinder first. Easy-peasy and no flight suit required. Easy job up in the engine compartment. Once the M/C is off, take a look at the area where the master bolts to the booster... If it's clean and dry inside and not wet with brake fluid, then we're a GO. If it's all rusty and paint a-peelin from brake fluid, then just leave it. But if it is clean and dry, then the rest of the work is done down by the pedals. One pin with retaining clip, and four nuts. I've been able to reach all that stuff kneeling outside the car. I haven't had to resort to laying down face-up on the car floor. Not that bad. A bad day at the junkyard beats a good day at work. And much thanks if you grab one for me!!

Not my car but one of my R&R (Rescue & Refurb) projects: a 240Z grill retrieved from a salvage yard car. Full disassembly, damaged vertical struts were replaced with parts purchased from another member, stripped to bare metal, multiple primer coats. wet sanding, assembly, color and clear coats. Whew! This one will go up for sale at some point. Many thanks to @CanTechZ for all the research on the OE-like finish for the grill and rear finisher, see this thread:

Did you actually measure and see this amount of variation or are you talking about the specifications in the FSM? Timing can swing by up to 40 degrees or more with one throttle press, on an engine with common timing controls. The emissions controls typically just affect idle timing. Since you don't drive at idle it won't affect performance.

That's exactly the way it works!

Here's an old list I have saved. You'll probably want to google the numbers to make sure they are compatible with the 240Z, some are for the 2000 Roadster. I got lucky and found a complete set of SUs on craigslist I rob parts from occasionally. Part Name Part Number Price (each) Available?

Hi , today All Fairlady meeting was held at Fuji Speedway , too bad , I could not go there. I found this , old Japanese TV movie which was broadcasted on Feb 28th 1975 , https://minkara.carview.co.jp/smart/userid/1569569/blog/41320555/ a female narcotics officer rides her Fairlady 240ZG , you can see vinyl top and Z432 wheels !! Very rare indeed . Kats

Kats, I have had SO many people over the years tell me that my ZG was "damaged" or "wrong" because of this detail. They haven't seen genuine OEM parts before. I was always reassured to see 'the gap'. It was a semi-secret way of telling OEM parts from replicas. Thank you!

Lovely 'ZStd' details. I noted the non-heated rear window and switch blanking plug, rubber mats instead of carpet, no bumper trim and can just about see the clock delete blanking trim (I want!). Rear spoiler would have been a later addition. What a great survivor. Chassis number is probably close to that of my '70 Z-L. Love it!

Nice car, sad to see those mirrors on it.

Thanks. Me too. I'm headed to the first doctor tomorrow. I suspect this is a season-ending injury...
