Yup, those rails are 77-78. The 74.5 to 76 have 60 degree tabs on both ends, like the front tab on those. 240 rails have studs on both ends that fit your holes. I have lots of the 240 rails, let me know if you want a set. Send me a PM.

These are the basic 280zx alloy rims. 14x6. Very light. In fact we just put a set of Falken Azenis R615kt. 195/60 -14’s on a set of these. Sticky (200 tread wear) but fairly soft side wall. Haven’t put many miles on them, but a pretty decent 14 tire performance and ride quality. Good wet weather as well. $105USD or so on Tirerack, $150 CAD here in Alberta.

Always a silver lining. Now it’s easy to drill the holes for the speaker wires and grommets. Do it BEFORE you paint it

I have never had consistent, repeatable, long term stability fuel gauges in any Datsun regardless of how clean the wiring, how new the sender or how stable the voltage. You just learn how much you use for how far you travel and how much is left when you fill up. The gauge just means “yep you just filled up” or “got some still”, but that’s about it. Pretty much gave up and went to modern senders and aftermarket gauges that you program.

10-90 ohm (F - E) is the spec I’ve always worked with. I can test a few senders....

Does it run? Be happy!

The box-o-boat-bits on their way to a new owner. Must own a lot of boats.... He does live near Puget Sound!

The 2+2 tail light trim panels are subtly different in shape in many ways. They are not interchangeable with the coupe. It’s not obvious until you lay one over the other. The 2+2 body shape is really unique from the doors backward. I too wondered about the function of the dual nubbies but I’m convinced its entirely esthetic. Either to fill a perceived visual void or just to make a “this isn’t your usual Z butt you’re looking at” statement.

Ok, ok, Dn’t mind that either.

Yup. Stock 2+2 rear end, other than the over rider bar. Interior is someone’s creative upholstery job. I myself prefer a good quilted velour interior. Pink or baby blue.

Been buying Moog parts through RockAuto for some time. No problem getting outer tie rods, ball joints etc. Summit pricing is pretty good though, very much like Rockauto.

Just like your wheel studs.

Bolts are splined into the pedal box. Just tighten the nuts. M8x1.25. When you puts nuts back on or take them off, and the bolt spins, THEN you worry. Not before.

Jim, you are welcome to any item or items you want off of this pile-o-stuff. Shipping in your direction is surprisingly in-expensive. I’ve been quoting some people about shipping a full E31 head south, and a 28x10x8 55 lb box is ~$80-100 depending on how far it’s going, so just a pair of these carbs would be pretty reasonable at around $30. Just let me know what you want to do

View Advert Nautical Paraphernalia So I’ve been going through a lot of my schiite lately, and it seems I have collected WAY more of the infamous flat top boating accessories than I thought I would need. Of course I could say that about a few other things.... There is 5 pair and I think a couple that are in pieces. So. I know there are a couple of you that are into such paraphenalia, so should you want my 75 pound box of these (or part there-of, depends on how big your boat is, I suppose), I would be more than happy to send them for the cost of postage.

S30 for sure, .which one, no clue. Real helpful, huh?

Thanks for the definite ID Gav. Suspicions confirmed. The only RF Chokes/Fuse thingys I have are firmly attached to 1520ZC radio’s.

Look under the car for the welded in nuts and poke a, well, a poker, ah ice pick, from the outside in through the carpet. There should be a sizable pocket on each side where the retractor reel goes that you should be able to find from the carpet side too.

As you sit in the driver’s seat. But not while fully reclined.

My Movie.mp4 The long awaited video

Okay here 's a gem no one can resist! I've tossed all my old cassettes a long time ago.

Video coming. It's taking its sweet time downloading. It is currently "Queued". Like being in the lineup at Costco for gosh sakes.... And I'm not even slightly surprised that some vulture has now swooped in and made me an offer I could not refuse!!! Lance, you know who you are..... Time to dig out the other 17 radio's I have somewhere..... ?

Here is the innards. And it works..... Got a video of it tuned into the worst scratchy old country AM station around here...

Thanks Jim! I will definitely take the top off and take more pictures. The antenna switch position was also a clue I assumed meant it was an early Z radio but the ones I'd seen prior had AM on all the buttons. There is no sign of that on these. I will of course feel obliged to maybe power it up and enjoy some local scratchy country AM radio!
