    I believe all of those are R200 cars

    I have been watching the John Hopkins site for 3-4 weeks now S Korea pushed very hard from the very beginning to mitigate transmission and they have a very high percentage of hospital beds versus population. Also the death rates spike when the medical system gets overwhelmed like in Italy and Iran. That's when it gets ugly. That is the reason for all the current closings, to slow transmission to a manageable level.

    Your junk yard has a lot of cars laying around. If you find 300zx with the possible LSD, check it! It should have a finned cover and both wheels will turn in the same direction. Always buy the half shafts with the diff! I have 2 here that I bought a decade or so ago out of Florida
  4. Try this... 67088157-240Z-Automatic-Transmission-Manual[1].pdf Can someone move this to the technical knowledge base for me?
  5. "anonymous sources" are just gossip. Like playing "telephone"... I tend to be pretty skeptical of everything I read these days. Take it all with a grain of salt...
  6. I know very little about the 3 speeds but I would definitely looking at the solenoids. Isn't there an FSM for the 3 speed somewhere?
  7. That's funny!! I don't care who you are...
  8. Careful with the back!!! Several people including myself have had difficulties replacing the rear bearings. On reassembly the rear hub quits rotating when the nut gets torqued down. It is a function of getting the bearings set just right. On mine I took a big hammer to get them right. Maybe somebody could find the threads for me and post a link

    They have always had reserves It is primarily a market place for salvage vehicles, but they have tried to expand that in recent years to vehicles that aren't wrecked. They also sell donated vehicles, like Angel cars. A car like this is probably a private seller but most of the cars are being offered by insurance companies. sometimes the ad says who the seller is, sometimes it doesn't. I just thought the price was astounding

    This is really amazing to me. $6,700 significant rust and doesn't run. The ACV is unrealistic too $46k https://www.copart.com/lot/31672690
  11. If the rear bearings give you any issues with binding on reassembly, you might want to think about adding onto the end of one of the existing rear bearing / hub threads. Might also be a good time to skim those to avoid any issues. Hopefully you'll have no issues...
  12. I think I would prefer the correct shape over all else. It would be nice to know how they compare to the factory thickness

    I dont think I would try to reinvent the wheel. I would just buy the harnesses I needed and swap them out

    I think some of the difference is regional. A lot more datsun enthusiasts in the northwest than the southeast. So more supply...

    That's a solid deal!!!! You'll owe Cliff a run around in your snake one day...
  16. As a general question to the audience. Would you prefer thicker metal or a more accurate stamping?
  17. I agree on a level but I also have my wife and two girls in the house. My wife spins that toilet roll like it's wheel of fortune. One time I had my septic guys come pump my tank out. There was an iceberg of toilet paper in there. They made a comment about not using so much TP. I told them I have to pick my battles...
  18. Let me know if I need to send a care package. Provided they'll deliver it

    $250 is a great deal. The las I bought was $350 and I had to pull it

    I have two teenage daughters right now and they can be challenging! Do the best you can and don't damage the the long term relationship. Time will take care of the rest. About 19 or 20 they get their minds back... My oldest daughter is great to be around now, not so much as a teenager
  21. Ouch. I hope you stocked up on beer and toilet paper!

    My concern was the steel bar would bind up the cam towers because they wouldn't move at the same rate the rest of the head would or cause leaks
  23. I understand but it is a six figure car repaired. Way more than the parts are worth. Even if the repair work was costly there is a lot of room for flipping a profit

    I wonder if differential expansion would be a problem. Aluminum tube makes more sense
  25. If you can title it. Its worth saving unless its badly rusted
