    Thanks for the referral, Looks like he's got what he needed. JYJ is a good source.
  2. My 73 has the same bolt you show as the lower attachment. A shorter bolt and inverted star washer. There might have been a paper washer but not that I found. I think there is a plastic washer glued to the inside of the quarter window inner cover that keeps the trim from cracking as you tighten. I seem to remember those washers in other trim I have pulled off.
  3. Convenience is correct, it looks like spellchecker got a hold of the word and decided on what I meant.
  4. I completely understand, Everyone's situation is different. BMW is a lot farther for me too. Sometimes paying a little more works better for the connivence.
  5. Yep, still available. ZCD's shipping charge is what makes me avoid them if I can. I know shipping rates are high but they make a little extra. IMHO In my situation, I order local and pick it up for $5 in gas.

    Personally, I like the stock cast look of the E41 tube. The ZT and home grind and polished ones just don't look right to me. IMHO. Maybe if everything was ground and polished. I bought an E41 from Germany.
  7. I get the same error even when using a different browser, Safari and Firefox
  8. Confirmed clear plastic washer and small screw. Round metal "coat hooks" up above were later replaced with a more hook shape in plastic. Seat belt hooks are here. Once they were moved from the seat back.

    Zcardepot buys them from Nissan, likely wholesale, then sells them on eBay and still makes some profit. At least their shipping rates are better on eBay than their own site. I also just buy them at my local dealer. no shipping just a short drive.
  10. You are correct sir, choke cable bracket.
  11. Well after my botched measurement earlier on, hopefully I can regain some credibility. Comparison pics of the 72 (orange) and the 1970 case. (purp) One extra bracket on the back of the flat plate. Lids look like they close well, orange has a filter, Purp does not. Insides are similar, shaved ventures, different seals They both look flat to me. The filter holder went from 4 outside the filter spring clips to the inside the filter blockers
  12. Please disregard my filter, I had a 72 box and old A/C in my hoard and it has the large filter too. That seems to fit well in the box. The rubber seal is petrified so it does not compress, I see that it would though. So it looks right. Also now that I compare my new and old filters the new one I mentioned is smaller in all aspects. L x W x H So maybe it is for another application. A Roaster Solex car perhaps Like I mentioned it was a swap meet purchase. That puts Inline6 back at post one, why won't his filter fit???
  13. Interesting, I would think more people would have the same issue you are having and complain to the vendor. I got mine at a swap meet from an ex Nissan mechanic who had 3 screw carb set as well. All 72 stuff. Mine did not come in a box, just a clear plastic bag, No Nissan printing.
  14. Mine only has the stamp on one side and different numbers. and it has the hamburger.
  15. It looks like you have the correct air box for a 72. Most assuredly not the 73 box. I bought some 3 screw '72 carbs at a swap meet and they came with a factory air filter. It only has a "04810" and the hamburger on it. It looks like the 800-627 The one I have measures at 1 15/16" ish I see the difference in the ZCD ones now, The 800-985 is aftermarket, and the 800-627 is Nissan. Does your filter have the OEM stamps on it like the bottom one in my ^^ post above? I don't see them in your pic's.
  16. Also interesting is you look to have purchased your filter from Zcardepot. with the 800-627 sticker on the end. They list that one and a 800-985 as both the same fitment and sizes listed, but the price is different. Makes me wonder if they mixed up some stock at some point.
  17. Different part numbers for those years, I would guess the 73-74 is wider.
  18. I sent a reply.
  19. There is a Gold set on eBay right now. I don't know why these peeps think everything was gold. "I Love Gollllld" I have a few loose ones, A blue one.. . An Orange one... And one only a mother could love.....
  20. Looks like both pieces are in there. I bet the copper wire in there is worth more than both little bits you are after. I looked at Stamps.com but did not care for their terms of service. I'll just stick with the Post Office.
  21. I have a few that don't work as is. Like Mart asked if you just need a part from one it is cheaper to ship.
  22. Terrapin Z replied to Randalla's post in a topic in Body & Paint
    No just trimmed it a little around the bracket, The hatch is closed most of the time anyhow. I have not had any issues It is a little tight around the hinges too.
  23. A lot of it depends on what YOU want out of the car. Nissan paired the 5 speeds with 3:90 gears for the most part. it is a good combo. I went with 3:70 and a ZX "close" ratio myself but that was my choice. The different 5 speeds have different 5th ratio's too.
  24. Automatics were 3:54 with the 4 speed being 3:36 Most 5 speeds had the 3:90 but in a R200 diff. Other ratios are available as well.
