    I worked on Cody's car some Friday Hung the header, intake manifold and carbs The header is a pretty tight fit! I still need to come up with a way to hold the parking brake cable over Got the radiator in and have the alternator most of the way in
  2. How does it pivot without leaking?
  3. Pretty car. I like the clean engine bay
  4. Patcon replied to Broman's topic in Shop Talk
    I used a big flat head screwdriver and put the edge of the blade in the slots
  5. Patcon replied to Andy J's topic in For Sale
    Those look nice! Cost? Where to order?
  6. Pretty car! Aught to be fun
  7. Get a respirator so you can ignore the fumes and avoid any unnecessary exposure
  8. Maybe drill them and expoxy small sections of thin all thread? Then bolt them to the hubcaps
  9. Nice looking car. Not perfect but a nice driver
  10. Too funny! 😂 I routinely see cars with large rusted holes in them. They seem to work fine. Also in my state there are zero vehicle inspections! No smog, no emissions, no brake light check etc. It doesn't seem to create carnage on the roads. What does seem to create great issues is the invention of the smart phone! Which some drivers can't seem to put down long enough to get to where they're going!
  11. I agree, I would find a different hub. Either in Canada or import from the US. Also the later axle nut from the 280zx I believe is self locking so no staking necessary
  12. Where are you located?
  13. I wouldn't want to split the transmission in the car. I would rather have the whole unit on the bench
  14. Have you driven it yet with the new setup?
  15. The $300k BaT car is a good place to look. It's pretty original
  16. There is a spring upgrade, Japanese I believe, for coil overs that allows you to run softer feeling springs than their effective rate. A good solution to prevent harshness. I can't remember the name currently
  17. Yeah, I'd be hot! 😡
  18. I agree, I wouldn't touch it
  19. I would think BaT with a healthy reserve. I wouldn't consider a no reserve auction, too easy to lose it cheap.
  20. I believe they're in North Carolina and Oklahoma. My last header was done in OK
  21. I did this Z Car Depot IncCarburetor Return Spring Bracket Plate Custom 240ZStainless steel plate that mounts under the intake for attaching the carburetor return springs on Datsun 240Z. This plate bolts to the original intake and allows for 2 spring clips but offers mini...I also do not have coated headers. That may end up being an issue but I will deal with later if it is
  22. Probably a lot more info at hybrid Z Zedhead or Grannyknot are probably more familiar with how to find it there
  23. Already $1800. I'm surprised it's that high considering it's been sitting and you really don't know what you've got until you take it apart. Is the compression ratio a turbo level compression ration?
