I agree, I would try to straighten out the damage on the control arm. Haven't seen the shims before Most rear brake upgrades dont increase brake efficiency. Some can throw off the F/R bias and increase stopping distance. All that said I am going with rear disc because they are self adjusting.

Kids are amazing projects but you might find you grow as much as they do...😉

I suspect the car was in a major collision. Front was trash, rear tail light panel trashed, doors messed up and they found a 280 donor and rebuilt it. It seems to fit the configuration the best

Except the gear in the tranny is 23 teeth and one of those is 22t and one is 21t!

Thoughts about these two?? https://www.allstategear.com/FS5W71-Reverse-Idler-Gear-p/nis-10-22.htm?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIn5aAlfbI7QIVBHiGCh2twgTmEAQYASABEgLOhfD_BwE&Click=7567&utm_source=googlebase&utm_medium=shoppingengine https://ampdistributing.com/products/1981-92-nissan-fs5w71-21-tooth-reverse-idler-gear?variant=5189686460445&currency=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&utm_campaign=gs-2018-11-12&utm_source=google&utm_medium=smart_campaign&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIn5aAlfbI7QIVBHiGCh2twgTmEAQYAiABEgIhSvD_BwE

Maybe somebody else will confirm. I wouldn't think twice about deleting manifold heating

I believe that is the thermostat for the carb water. If it works its a rare part for those wanting to run flat tops

Maybe a link to the Summit part you bought...

I normally remove the metal retaining ring first with some picks. Then it should come out pretty easily

Pretty car...

That is why I like seeing the color on an entire car. It's hard to get a feel for how the color will look from a small sample. A car sized sample is much better...

I had considered that they grafted a whole 280z front end onto a damaged 240z. That would explain all the under hood anomalies but not alter the firewall VIN. Graft the rear end in too because it was caught in a pile up???

Thats not bad...

Man that's great!!! Enjoy, nothing like beautiful baby girls!!

$27k for a sub 1000# car is a really good price!!!

Rough costs for a lot of parts like that?

I like to walk car lots to look for colors I like. then match the year and make at the paint shop.

Pretty car. I like that

Have you touched base with Mike or pm'd him. He might have the solution or be able to push you in the right direction

I agree with Zed, if there's no fluid on the ground it has to be going around the MC seals. The booster just does it faster. You need to see if its going into the booster. Does it consume fluid?

Lexus has had a number colors similar to that dark blue of the car on the lift

Very close Chris. although I don't think it sold $1,957,507

Does it have stock booster size. When its running, if you pump it quickly, it wont catch higher?

So it doesn't come up if you pump it?? That was my first thought too

See, I thought I had a problem because I have SO many Datsun parts... I am so relieved now!
