Koni Red Rear Shocks
For the street you should go 1 click with stiffer springs like Tokico's, 2 clicks at the most. 82R-1811 for the front struts.

Koni Red Rear Shocks
If your using the car for street use, setting 1 will be fine for stock springs. You should never try to use a shock to stiffen your suspension. If you want stiffer suspension get stiffer springs. The shock is there to control the spring not make it stiffer. I have Koni Reds and Koni springs on my 73. Go to Koni.com and check out the instructions.

My coolant oil mix was not the headgasket
Check your exhaust ports. My #6 port was eaten thru on the stock E88 right into the coolant passage. The rest of the motor was great.

I need help identifying this oil pan.
It got to be a dry sump, I don't see any cut out in the windage tray for a pickup. Nice pan.

Seat breather holes?
I would not have posted if the had been recovered. This was a one owner car and I know it's history.

Seat breather holes?
My 73 has the stock original seats in it and they do not have the breather grommets

Ignition/Coil/Distributor Systems Replacement for 71-240Z
My set up because I too am running triples, is Mallory dual point distributor with mech advance. I then replaced the dual point plate with a Pertronixs 2 conversion kit and a Pertronixs matching coil. You can find the Mallory dual point units on Ebay for a reasonable price.

New style Auto Shift knob for 240Z
If you look at the rest of his store, he has the same knob listed for a Lotus Europa. There was never an auto Europa, or a Lambo Miura, or a Ferrari F50

Reproduction JDM headlight covers with trim
I bought a set of the reproduction covers off EBay. There is one problem I found, They don't fit too well. The bottom outside hole misses. Setting them on the car they fit flush, but the bottom hole was too high. There is really no way the make it fit. To back up that I really had a fit problem, I also had a set or OEM rings. I popped out the lenses an installed them in the OEM rings and well it's a perfect fit. I did not have to bend, stretch, or massage them. So be careful on what you buy.

Rear Spoiler
I have a 432 rear spoiler, there are 4 mounting bolts that go right thru the skin on the hatch.

Finally getting painted.
The pic of the finished Z is mine. Not bad for a car that needs a paint job. I'm going to do the paint in March.

Roberts Competition's Exhaust
The tubing is 1 3/4. I have a new tail section (not 4 sale) and am doing my own repro of the system. As for the headers, I see those on EBay all the time, just saw a set the other day, but you can adapt them to any header. Mine are hooking up to a Datsun comp header. I have the Stinger rear section, and 2 glasspak setups. The hard part was finding the resonators that are ahead of the the glasspaks.

mystery hardline?
That's the vent system from the gas vapor tank. Thee other ports connect to the vent tube on the block under the thermostat housing and to a port on the manifold.

Turbo 350 Transmission
The MSA adapter is used when doing a V-8 swap. I do not see any possible way of bolting a TH350 to a stock Datsun block.

BRE seat 2
Real deal bucket the BRE used back in the 70's. This one is not a copy. It even has the manufacture cards still stapled to the back side of the cushions. I need one more of these or I will have to make a mold of this one and make my own.
