  1. Thanks for the advice & offer to help!! Looks like I'm replacing exhaust valves & heading to my machinist.
  2. I have a "little" problem. Engine's out of the car...due to an ahem, "miscalculation" on my part, actually make that major brain fart, I over-adjusted the cam timing on my motor & caused piston crown/valve contact on start-up. I put a substitute L28 in my motor's place in meantime, but now I'm faced with varying possibilities on how to go about fixing my cylinder head. It's an E-31 head, a good one, so I don't want to toss it. Only the exhaust valves were contacted. The bottom end looks fine...pistons aren't damaged, just slightly nicked/scuffed where the valve edges hit. Everything I know tells me to replace all the exhaust valves (I do have a spare set of valves). I'm assuming even the slightest contact will ruin the valves. Anyone ever have an experince like this? It's not a catastrophic failure, just a hiccup. But I wanted to pose this to the forum to get some advice so I can cover all my bases...Thanks for any & all help. TG

  5. I took this off an L20B powered pre '70s Datsun pickup I found in a junkyard. I already have one in my 240Z, so I don't have any use for it. Will make any L4 or L6 come ailve & REV! Make an offer. Part is in great condition. Don't know the brand. Please respond to chaztg@cox.net
  6. Do you have a driver's side window regulator? Please respond to chaztg@cox.net with total cost incl s/h. Thanks!
  7. If anyone has one in good condition, please contact me at 619-287-9671 or chaztg@cox.net Thanks.
  8. Just curious if you sold the Z yet...? I'm in San Diego.

    The armrest is in great condition. It's black. I don't think that they came in any other color, but I could be wrong.
  10. Somebody more knowledgeable about these things should check this out. The seller's user ID is "forjunny" and it looks like this part may be a scam. It's auction description has all the hallmarks of one: too much elaboration, too much hype, not enough technical explication. Let's slam dunk this asshole if he thinks he can convince us that this is an "easy" LSD conversion. I personally would want to find out that this item is not all it's hyped to be after removing, disassembling and re-installing a rear end (not fun). This part looks to good to be true. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33731&item=7907869468&rd=1

    I have an extra passenger side armrest you can have for $10 + shipping. Let me know if you still need this part. Tony
