    This is great, because my Z is in the paint shop right now. They use Glasurit paints, and I just dug up the formula for 920 on the Glasurit website. So what I'm hearing is that the formula will likely not match the original color? This is going to be a long job too, they're going to strip in down and repaint. The guy also doesn't work on the car 8 hours/day because their other work comes first. I need to find the paint formula for the rear light trim panels.
  2. I don't kniow about that E, those bulbs usually have off axis tabs on the side so you don't install them incorrectly. How about the flasher unit under the dash, or a ground?
  3. Very nice Walt, someone will be very happy. I wish I had mine, it's a nice little collectable to have with your classic.

    .....she's finally in the paint shop! I can't believe it. It's going to be stripped to the metal and repainted with original 920 plus some gold dust flake. Stay tuned.

  10. Does someone here have electronic versions of service manuals? Sounds like I heard someone say they were scanning for certain words.

    Link Here's a little snippet from the article.
  12. Was this car originally purchased in Richmond. If so, then it was from Pence-Briggs Datsun same as my 71 510 of the same color. http://penceauto.driverbuzz.com/
  13. The type of stainless would be interesting to know, but quality of the polish is the key to corrosion resistance. But that's a lot of money, but what else is available?
  14. It makes a difference on the tach, at least on the earlier models. I wonder what coil he purchased, it has to be the right one to work with the BR. Did you upgrade to 280 or 280ZX plugs? Remember you're putting out more voltage.
  15. I like to use Datsun parts when they are available and affordable. But when a rare screw cost $400 or something, well heck, perfection starts to lose its luster. Also when a part is no longer available, I've found some folks that have worked very hard to produce a duplicate of the original. Some of them are damn good. One example is when I couldn't get new original stock springs. So I went to a spring company and got them to agree to make springs to stock specs, and we got some. A number of people bought them through Courtesy Nissan. There are many examples like that.
  16. Yup Fabreze is great, worked in my Toyota.
  17. I owned a 4dr model once, and totaled it.
  18. I haven't even heard about this. Oh are you talking about the Z Odyssey?
  19. This one makes my heart go boom boom.

    I'm going with BRE spook on mine.
  21. I wouldn't recommend pumping grease into it.
  22. That last one looks like a fixer-upper.
  23. Why are you still alive; you didn't throw yourself into that crusher to save it?
  24. Is something wrong with the Zhome site? I can't access it.

    Is there a problem with the site, or is it just me?
