Gotcha. Luckily I have a local locksmith who knew old datsun locks. I took him a big box of different locks including ignition and had him make me a full set for $60. I was quite pleased. Then I Screwed it up cause I gave him the wide ignition lock and realized I needed the narrow for the 71 and he redid it over to match the key.

Are there any sharp edges on the keys? Take one of the new ones on the wire wheel bench grinder. I'm assuming you have a working door key currently?

Sure is pretty though. That's why I just like to visit the white stuff in a rental car!

Doh! Been there done that! The ZX I had the previous owner did that. Glad you got it going.

Nice if you ditch the auto I might be interested in the shifter. My overdrive switch is dead. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

When Cranking, the positive voltage remains at the coil? Dave had a problem with intermittent start and it turned out to be the key switch. Just confirm that as your cranking your still seeing positive voltage to the coil.

I might have missed it but you sure your getting positive voltage to the coil? Disconnect the positive wire from coil, run a temp new wire from the battery directly to the positive side of the coil. Just to ensure it's not in the wire going to the coil. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Yep me too! It must have been 1989 I looked at a beautiful 72 in this color combo with my dad. They wanted $700 then but it had a bad front rack. My dad said no. Few years latter go a rusty 70 for the same $700.

You going to keep this one!?

That came out nice Dave.

Geese, again Jamal! This is not fair!

Yeah I would agree on the wheel arches. The bat had better pics and that crack by the antenna is likely all bondo. Hard part about cars from out west is they go fast or people know the prices now and are asking $$$.

Better. Rust is your biggest enemy. Have him text your frame rails, floors with carpet pulled back, above tail lights with hatch open, better rocker pics, under side of doors and under battery.

Sorry. This is all I have left from it. Towards the end if it looked bad I scrapped it.

I'll look tonight. I took a bunch of stuff from under the seats. Don't recall what I kept vs what got thrown out.

Got a pic of it? I stripped a 79 not long ago.

Check the way it's bolted on. It may be flipped on the ZX. I can measure back of blade to head if you want on my 80zx.

We know why you really go! Seems you even bolded it!

Ouch that is crazy.

Yeah wait. Granted different animal and the L6 is much easier to work on, but my 300zx I've been playing with I just keep going deeper and deeper down the rabit hole. I've got this Intake coolant hose that is under the plenum and I'm hoping I can replace it without having to remove the plenum but it is way down there.

I think maybe @Steve should put this together at ZCon next year! Suds, shine and Parts. Of course if there is enough interest. FL has the Turkey run that just passed. Maybe they import section now, but I've heard it's mostly American parts.

Geese, eBay is expensive is this what yours looks like? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F152504804032 I might have one.

Oh man I need you to do mine!

Put my new shoes on today for my alignment tomorrow morning. Went from 225/50/15 to 205/55/16. Got my Enkei 92's rockin! Went for a quick spin and what a difference no flat spots make. The dartiness went down too with the narrower tires. So much to do!
