tie rod dust boots?
I would replace the Moog boots with black polyurethane - Energy Suspension 9.13103G I think is the right part number. They will last a lot longer. Put them on mine when I did my tie rods a year ago.

If you were referring to Wheee's post referring to an O-ringed rail, the Pallnet rail can be either the barbed (stock) or O-ring style to mate to the fuel rail. The new injectors will come with the seals for the intake manifold.

What's it worth?
Nice 72 Cliff! Just add on to the garage and keep it. If you can get the hungary for orange girl to pose in your pictures, it's good for at least a 20% price bump.

Why didn't i think of that?
Maybe insurance rates are lower because a stick shift is more of a deterrent to a car thief than a car alarm now.

- Lugging a 240z with Libre's
Zup & I felt you just had to have something to commemorate your new moniker. Maybe you and your son can munch on the goodies while wrenching on the Tiburon.- 2400 valve cover early one
Here is an interesting old thread that explains the elephant oil & cap lore. Apparently, Nissan branded the oil to commemorate their success in the EAS Rally.- Lugging a 240z with Libre's
No, it's not about driving up a steep hill at 20mph in 4th gear ... It's about replacement lug nuts for the authentic Libre wheels on Zup's immaculate silver 73 240z. In looking at his car, my eye was always drawn to the deteriorating condition lug nuts on the wheels. I became determined to find a quality set for him that would do justice to such a nice car. I quickly found that it is not so easy to source the correct lug nuts for those lug centric wheels. The standard M12 x 1.25 spec is no problem but in the correct shank & washer style with the all important shank length is difficult. I found a quality set of Mcgard tuff nuts that met all the specs except for the shank length being too long, they would bottom out against the hub before the wheel was seated and tightened. The solution it seemed, was to machine the shank length of the nuts down to the optimum length for the wheels. It then became obvious to me that the answer was to recruit the assistance of a highly skilled forum member ..... Captain Obvious. After discussing the details of the secret project with him, he very generously agreed to assist with machining the new Mcgard nuts to Libre specs. I ordered & shipped the new nuts to him and in the meantime, made careful measurements of Zup's Libre wheels to determine optimum length. The end result we agreed upon was .460 effective shank length after the washer is installed. The Captain completed one set & shipped it to me for test & verification of fitment. They were perfect and so was the quality of his lathe work! The final 4 completed sets were delivered Saturday, I drove up to his house & presented them to him, we did the final installation, and he was extremely happy with the results. A very big thanks thanks to you Bruce for making this Obvious / Driver joint project possible. He was very busy working on a complete top end job with his son's new Subaru but still took the time to work on the nuts.

John The AFM original connector is held in by one of the wire spring clips, similar to the injector one. It was probably removed at some point & not replaced. MSA sells a replacement with the improved clip.- An apology and request.
Absolutely no need to apologize Mark. Give Kathy all of you attention. Wishing the very, very best for Kathy.- 1976 280Z Restoration Project
- Saw this 73 240 on the way home...
Nice find! But i'd change that back historic plate, people will think it's a old BMW 338. Only bad I see is the sunroof.- New owner of '77 280z from Upstate SC
Wow! A great looking unmolested 77 John. Even the alloy wheels look to be in great shape. I love the original radio. If the front carpet is still acceptable to you, you can purchase just the rear deck piece separately or possibly dye it if it has not deteriorated badly. Welcome!- My Datsun 240Z
Looks great. I too like the color. Best of luck on the RDW. - Lugging a 240z with Libre's
