It is the same car as the VIN's match. I believe the ebay ad said sold but who knows...

If I found the right website then I didn't see them listed in the Nissan section. Am I missing them somewhere?

I know in some circles the factory overspray and issues are important. Corvettes for instance are expected to have the factory exact overspray, stampings and marks. I don't care for it personally but I know the show judges look for it.

That is absolutely fabulous! I tend to agree the car probably got too hot to handle. Love it C

Pretty good video, but some of the info was off. Charles

Another area that I don't see mentioned is the carb inlet screens and the float bowls. If the screens are badly clogged they may not pass enough fuel and the bowls get low on fuel causing bucking or debris in the bowls that moves around and clogs up the holes. Another long shot is a piece of bad fuel line, internally collapsed, possible the lines under the carbs (this is not regular old fuel line) C

That's funny, I don't care who you are... C

What makes you think the vapor tank you took out was not original? C

Matt, I had the fiberglass air dam on an earlier Z. It doesn't take curbs or parking strips well and a chicken in the road at 55 mph made a mess out of it. Charles

I agree that spark plugs wont normally cause a no start condition, with the exception of putting in a sparkplug that is way too long...does the engine spin at all when you try to start it? If not take all the spark plugs out and see if it will spin without the compression. Make the spark and fuel safe for this. C

I have a xenon air dam I will be using. I had figured I would have to reinforce it too, as they flex a lot a speed. I had thought I would fab a bar all the way across the bottom on the inside lip and attach that to bracket in a similar way to what you did. That way the bottom edge couldn't flex and would hold its shape. All your work looks great. You are getting close Charles

That's great! That site is great for finding parts, especially later model stuff. I use it a lot to rebuild the cars I am working on. C

You are very welcome... C

If you had some spring compressors. You could compress one spring at a time and shake and lift that assembly to try to locate the noise. C

That would work since the pressures are pretty low... C

It appears I don't have any close. I can check some more, but I did find these on carpart.com. One of these guys might ship for you. Prices seem ok C

I assume you will be rebuilding this head? You just need a solid base? C

I don't know. Can you find flair nut connections that fit the lines good, since I assume they are really metric? Do you have room to put the connections in and still clear the body of the car when the line is in the insulators? Do you trust the splice? C

The lines aren't that thick and that has some pretty heavy pitting. I would replace. C

Steve, You're looking for a cylinder head off a maxima? What years? I will check near me if you get me some details... C

That's great. I can't wait to see what that mustache bar looks like... Charles

Where did you find them? C

Yeah it looks like an estate sale. There are a number of things there I would find interesting. Sort of bitter sweet to see one person possessions all up for sale. Hopefully the Z finds a good home... Charles

Did you make replacement backer panels for the door panels out of fiberglass? Charles

Interesting Z. Too bad I am so far away. Lots of good tools in the auction... C
