I took my 13 year old granddaughter for a ride around town. She really liked the little blue car, but 'no air conditioning?' Kids... The engine is very close to 10K miles in 3 years, after rebuild, then sat for 28 years. Runs like a 'Singer Sewing Machine', or would that be a 'Swiss Watch?' Bonzi Lon

When the time comes, mine will be bead blasted. Bonzi Lon

There was a 'Hubcap Annie' on East Colfax in Denver about 7-10 years ago. Last time I was in Denver it had closed or moved. Is it a chain store? Bonzi Lon

The hand throttle should of been removed from the dealer before selling as a safety measure. Bonzi Lon

Impact driver worked for me on the last 3. The first one I screwed up the head with a phillips screwdriver. The cheap Chinese vice grips would not work on it. The genuine 'Vice Grips' locked on it and it came right out, with liberal amounts of PB Blaster. Bonzi Lon

I bought 5 bags of 10 so I would have some spares left over. I tried to count them several times and came up with different numbers each time, it was between 34 & 38, just got 50 to be safe. They are small, light & cheap to have spares. Bonzi Lon

Welcome to the 'blue car club', looks great. Bonzi Lon

A fire extinguisher is mounted behind the driver's seat of my 240Z. Even though it is a single purpose tool, it is still cheap insurance. Bonzi Lon

As Blue said, 'get the RED cable'. I made the same mistake just because both were black, smoked the fuzeable link. Got the RED one, no more confusion. Bonzi Lon

As a retired watchmaker / clockmaker, it was standard operating procedure, at that time, to have yearly service to a time piece to insure proper & correct function. That came printed with every watch / clock sold. It was started in the 1880's as mandatory for the Rail Road industry for mechanical watches, that spilled over into the electro-mechanical group. Over time, the fine oil used to lubricate will dry or thicken and slow it down or stop. I've noticed my clock is getting slower after running 7 years, stopped for 28 years, running for 3 years, now slowing down, but then so am I. Very nice find esprist. Bonzi Lon

Gives new meaning to the old saying: Candy is dandy, but liqueur is quicker. Bonzi Lon

Powder coated fuel tank? Tell us more. It has to be super clean before baking, right? Do you coat the inside after baking? This is way better looking than just paint. I've found an old, non inflatable truck tire inner tube comes in very handy around the home & shop. Made a pair of headlight bucket gaskets before they were available again, glued a protective patch to the body metal above the + battery post, radiator drain plug gasket, paper punch made a perfect hole, can be used for fuel tank strap rubber or the upper pads, however, I do like the diamond pattern of yours better.

The flasher canister on my 7/73 hangs down a little on the left side of the steering wheel, just right of the hood open pull lever, in line with the clutch. My turn signal problem was the contacts inside the switch. Just a WAG, could that alarm system have anything to do with it? Bonzi Lon

My 73 has a fire extinguisher mounted behind the driver's seat. Bonzi Lon

Tuesday morning an envelope with cash inside arrived. Thursday evening I waved good bye to HLS30-00110. Bonzi Lon

and not about the dumb stuff they did on Top Gear. then a segment about a car competition (the 24 hours of Lemons) While channel surfing I came across them talking about the 24 hours of Lemons, which I have heard of. Thought I might see some of it. Then 3 guys pull out machine guns and proceed to shoot the crap out of a Nissan Z, claiming they could of won if they hadn't killed it. Then it blew up in a fireball. Did you catch that part? I went on surfing. Bonzi Lon

Oh, I understand all if the in-differences, motor oil, motor city, etc...it can be used both ways, interchangeable. However some can not, ie: windshield wiper 'engine'. Just one of those things. Bonzi Lon

I think it is because the 'youngsters' have so many things that 'turn on' & 'turn off' it just becomes part of their 'speak'. My pet peeve is when an internal combustion 'Engine' is referred to as a 'Motor'. Bonzi Lon

Trailer wheels are fine. I would like the next set on my Z! Bonzi Lon

IIRC, Dr. Gadget did an electric X1/9 on some show, Amped, Discovery, something like that. It had some impressive numbers. Little brother had one for a while, he still says it was the funnest car he has ever had, but was too much for him to maintain. Bonzi Lon

Don't worry about it, any extra will get sucked into the intake. Just for the information side, each carb will take about 2cc of oil. The difference in oil weights will affect the action of the piston raising and lowering. Bonzi Lon

Purchase the 'S.U. Tune-Up Video' from ZTherapy and you will be able to do the tuning and adjustments yourself. Unless they are the flat tops. Bonzi Lon

The cast hooks are also left & right. I think some years and different models of Datsun's had variations of sizes and shapes. I now have collected several that did not match in size or shape, even one that is about 4" long, for the really BIG Datsun's. Bonzi Lon

What about the fuseable link at the starter? Branson Z-Fest this year, pristine restored Z, no power, checked all culprits, until he found he had bumped the link loose while cleaning but not disconnected. Bonzi Lon
