I wouldn't try to replace gearsets. That may just be me, but it seems like a lot of work for minimal gain. Now if you're tracking the car, that's a different thing

Come to my house Zed! I always have lots of broken stuff to fix! ;)

That's a nice neat repair

Were the overlays hard to do? Problems with bubbles or wrinkles? Get needles on or off?

Temp choke cables New problem, taller motor means the mechanical throttle linkage won't work I was wondering if the 240z cable conversion would work @KenFirch

You and I are kindred spirits!! I started my build in 2009 I believe. Time goes by fast! You're making good progress. Maybe ready for Zcon 2026?

I know I found one in the past but I don't know where. The rear cargo lamp for the 72 510 wagon 26410-W9600 Does anyone have one or have a link?

The brake booster tool is nice. That's a nice find!

Cats can stop up and restrict the exhaust

Does it have Cats?

Thanks for that. We set the plug #1 position by TDC and the rotor position. So we ended up with that L20 positioning through our methodology by accident

Cody figured out the turn signals today. The signal flasher is a thermal variety even though it looks like an electronic flasher it's not. If we add just one incandescent bulb it flashes as it should. So I ordered some that are electronic with an additional ground. We'll see how they do. He also replaced all the bulbs in the dash gauges with LED's

So status, we figured out how to hot wire the car since we don't have an engine bay harness currently @SteveJ :) We have spark and we have fuel but we couldn't get it to fire. Even with Ether... We have good compression and we have the dizzy on the car on the compression stroke. Although the timing isn't set yet. But rotating it while cranking, we didn't get anything. No bump, no belch, no nothing... Valve adjustment was done recently My only idea at this point is that we flooded the engine with all the cranking time to sort the spark and distributors. Any other ideas??

You should never disassemble both sides at the same time! That way you have an assembled one to look at. If you didn't keep the parts well sorted then the auto adjust might not work. The sides are handed I believe

350z 280z Fiat? Bimmer?

That looks like a nice looking Bimmer on the far end at the shop. Maybe some Apex wheels...

to last, they need to be welded really good and probably not just around the outer edge but somewhere internally to prevent flexing. Flexing there will eventually cause cracks just like the cars get sometimes at the upper rear qtr to roof joint

Can you provide some more pictures and some details on the system right now? Still running megasquirt? DIY harness or turnkey harness? Ignition? Coil on plug? Fuel pump and setup? Etc...

But a conventional rotisserie makes working on the rear of car and the nose of the car really difficult

Yeah, the rotisserie is pretty cool!

I have used Belmetric for lots of fasteners but black might be a problem

I believe this is what I ordered https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09YGXQM2X?ref_=ppx_hzod_title_mob_b_fed_asin_title_1_0

Yes, I believe they are available for purchase

I bought a kit from Harmon Brakes in Georgia. You need some specialize tools to get the booster disassembled and reassembled
