Haha!! So we're gonna be rebuilding your engine in the parking lot at zcon!! I call dibs on working on the timing chain and stuff!

I did the leather from Interior Innovations back in 2018 and would do it again. I also did the matching leather e-brake and shifter boots.

When my nozzles started sticking in the down position, I removed the carbs and found the #1 bar warped. The ends were not parallel to their attachment points. A slight twist with two pairs of pliers on the bar realigned the ends of bar #1 with their mounting points. That ended the problem with the nozzles.

We bought an uncoated header for the 510 from Troy Ermish a while back. We added two O2 bungs so we can check the carbs separately and added a Vband fitting at the exhaust end. I sent it off to JetHot over Christmas and got it back this last week. It looks nice!

Apologies for dragging up such an old thread but this was the only applicable one I could find via a search here and thought I'd share. I plan on running a GPS speedometer as well, and was fully prepared to machine something up but on a whim image searched "datsun speedometer pinion delete plug" and found a match: https://zcardepot.com/products/transmission-pinion-gear-plug-delete-racing-oem?srsltid=AfmBOoqKAdugm1tF7u0EpsepQLggtB1_N4C0VGzhN7Azlut4rc0esj0F As well as here: https://datnissparts.com/rwd-speedometer-drive-pinion-delete-plug-32707-aa000-replaces-nla-99996-c3040/ It's a Genuine Nissan part, p/n 32707-AA000 with a long compatibility list of boxes - can confirm fitment on a 71C tail housing.

Seeing that Z up on jackstands with no wheels makes me feel a little better about my Z project... At least it has the wheels on...
