  1. I understand "not supposed to be on the road". Where I live, I routinely take my unfinished cars around the block to help get them sorted. It's never been a problem but some areas aren't as flexible...
  2. I have run into this too. Was trying to buy two BMW fuel injectors out of Latvia. Couldn't because of all the unknowns. Looking to buy something out of the UK and sent them an email to see if they'll ship to the US. We'll see what they say...
  3. At $660 with like 6 days to go, I think they will go higher than $750. Possibly double that...
  4. @smdvr67 I would delete your personal contact info. Bots crawl the web looking for info like this! Only share personal info through Private Messaging / PM's
  5. The first part looks like a bracket for a spring perch for leaf springs. Don't believe either are Z parts...
  6. Right now it's on the motor, but I was surprised at how the empty cavities will flash rust in high humidity. I'm sure I will always have the obligatory rust. Hopefully some small bolt somewhere,. A speck is a sufficient qualifier... ;)
  7. Will it actually print polygonally or will the exterior be smooth and consistent? Restated, will the exterior be multifaceted or is that just a graphics display issue?
  8. It wouldn't be a Datsun if it didn't have a little rust!!
  9. Thanks, it is a confusing circuit! I hate it!
  10. I found on my car, vin is about 14,000 early car, the car had a hazard switch with the short harness. The longer harness one I had messed everything up. I don't believe they are interchangeable
  11. The battery tray looks pretty good if you ignore the 5# mouse nest underneath it 😀
  12. The large white with red made me think it was a primary relay...
  13. Thanks Ernest, I have the large laminated wiring diagram. Makes tracing much easier
  14. I'll check the old switch but I don't think it closed in a short enough distance either
  15. Is that the accessory relay?
  16. So I need a little help. I still don't have turn signals even with a new electronic flasher. I have tried a three wire with a ground and a two wire. I will save that for Cody at the moment. The other problem for the day is reverse lights. The switch I have has the leads torn off. So I ordered a new one for a 280zx transmission from a Z vendor I bought a number of things from and like doing business with. The new switch does not trigger fast enough. That is to say the plunger has to travel too far to make the circuit. It appears the plunger is brass so that seems to rule out adding metal to it with the welder. Is there another way to source a better switch? One that needs less travel or one with the plunger a little longer... The switch needs to trigger before the length is below 0.73". The new one needs to travel about 0.125" more to trigger
  17. You can look for 1156 & 1157 bulbs on Amazon in all different colors. One bulb is a single filament one bulb is a dual filament
  18. Probably true. The barn find is in a dry state but that seems like a lot of money for a project car... Yes, based on the BaT price it might be in the ballpark
  19. There's overspray on the data plate! Lots of other issues with the car. The market is pretty weak right now. It's not going to bring 15k much less 50k!
  20. Yes, Ive seen the Element ads at Hagerty. I think that could be a good option
  21. I like to use a wooden shim. Find one that is the right thickness and mark it with a sharpy. Works really well...
  22. Pictures would be good. You can probably get a view from inside the open door, towards the front. If they bolt from the outside in, the fenders will need to come off unless you don't value your paint...
