One time I had an engine rebuilt but the guy put the distributor gear in 180 degrees off. I had the same problem trying to start it. Have you tried swapping the firing order?

I'm still waiting for you to comment about the brake light. Was it really out?

Hi Brenco, welcome to the club! I tried fixing some of your images on the first post but it looks like you fixed them later in the thread. Nice work and, again, welcome to the site! And, FYI, you can also upload your photos to your own gallery on our site. This way the photos don't get lost in case Photobucket changes their hosting around (again). Here's a link to the gallery: http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/useralbums.php

Great idea, something like this would be a heck of a learning tool. I've seen non-operating cutaways (with small electric motors turning them over) in aviation museums quite a bit.... was a great way for me to learn about how some of the older jet engines were designed. Although an operational L6 would be a challenge to build, and very cool to see, I am not sure how the investment would be all that beneficial over a full cutaway engine. I mean, you would spend an extraordinary amount of time just getting the thing to run. The time could be spent on color codes, documentation, and videography. For me, I'm still waiting for someone to replicate the cross flow head. m

Hope all of you have a great Christmas no matter where or who you are with. Be good to each other and enjoy the ride.

Merry Christmas!!

I'm still trying to comprehend 255 hours. What a project! It looks sweet.

Hi guys! Yes you will receive a discount. I used to have an easy way to find your member number but lost it with our latest upgrade. Glad you got the number!! And let us know if you got the discount. If you have any issues with the discount please send me a PM before you buy.

Just wanted to mention that we aren't all stock here. We have an area for modified classic Z's as well as the stock conversions. Check out the main forum area.

You can also try listing it on our classifieds site. http://www.datsunclassifieds.com

And the tides turn... bobc, don't forget to come back and visit! I think there must be a tendency for Z owners to love either the Porsche 911 classic or the Jag E-type... something about the way they look. All too similar! Bob, you still have the blue GTS?

Hi Mario! Welcome to the club and Z ownership! Hope you have a good time here at the club and feel free to ask any question about your car.. Mike

So, I am in NYC for business over the next few weeks. First we had an earthquake last week, and now hurricane Irene is bearing down on the city. My thoughts go out to all the members who are affected by this storm and hope you (and your Z's) are all safe and sound. I know many of the members on the East coast and hoping that the damage is minimal. Take care! Mike

Hey guys, just checked out this thread. Yes, the CD is still available. Unfortunately we have some issues with the newest models of Macbook without doing a little tweaking like Arne suggested. As far as ordering a disk, send me a PM and we'll work out the details. Mike

EatingZ, My advice is to not get too frustrated by this whole thing. Law enforcement won't give a damn with this issue, they have too many things to do. Unfortunately, you're in a bind and should go contact an attorney to figure out how to handle this problem. You can usually get the advice from an attorney at little to no cost at an initial consultation. After that, he might be able to help you find this guy and serve him with documents to get the title. This, of course, will cost you. If that doesn't work, you can also simply go down to the DMV and ask them what you should do. Ask for their opinion and don't talk to the bitter-burnt-out agent, try to find the one who can help you the most, maybe the local DMV manager, it can go a long way to ask for the leadership when you first get there. First of all, remember this is your fault for not picking up the title when you gave him the cash. Then move on from there. Mike

Any chance you guys can upload the photos to our gallery? I noticed that putting them on other galleries (like Flickr and Photobucket) will eventually expire causing bad links (let's say in 6 months). If they are posted here, the photos will be online forever.. http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=3686 Attachments to this thread will also last forever but the gallery is the ultimate place for them.

Awesome! Wish I was there. Any chance you can upload Zcon photos to our gallery? I'd love to see more if you have them. http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=3686 Mike

I also took my son to CARS2. He's two years old, saw one of the cars, and said, "Z-car-oh" ! Sure enough, the movie was full of them... I remember seeing the gong and it looked a lot like the hubcap with a different logo in the middle. There were a number of spots where I could swear I saw a Z, blue, orange, silver, and perhaps a yellow in there. Some of the scenes were too quick and I didn't have the remote to control the movie..

Do you have sample photos of both types on your series car?

Sure, I think that's a lot more practical. :-P Neat looking car though, I remember seeing these on the road back in HS.

Hi peterb, it's tough to give a value on a car unless we have some additional information. Can you send some specfiics about the car such as mileage, condition, matching serial numbers, VIN, and any work that's been done on it? You can also upload photos to this forum post and this will give us a great starting point. Let me know if you have any troubles sending over this data. Thanks! Mike

Ran across this today, a great little snipet with mention of Mr K and the early Datsun's... <iframe width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/2AmmaZeRoFE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Nice! Hey put this in our event calendar and it will show up on the front page every day. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/calendar.php?do=add
