reproduction radio faceplates could be made easily with 3d printers

wow for 1300 bucks someone could probably gut the original radio and update it with state of the art bluetooth and satellite radio

dupe post......

if it were me i'de give them a call back and cancel that order to repair after finding out i already had a good radio. i had one of those seeking radios from i think it was #43 car that was totalled. there seems to be a pretty good supply of those on ebay. i've bought several and there is one on there now.

those spot welders make a much cleaner weld than mig.

if that passenger side window has been down all the time its been outside, i'de say swiss cheese floors too

Someone got a great deal 334 bucks for a set of wheels and tires

its how the body/frame shop i worked at back in the early 80's did it except the tools they used were more refined.

take a piece of 2x4 wood and pound a nail in it. jack up your tire place the nail tight up against the tire and spin the tire to score a line in the tire with the nail. set the car down so its level and roll it back and forth a bit then measure front and back. i have cut down tie rods in the past. it was on a rhd rack that was brand new never used datsun. to this day i don't know which datsun it went to but the inner tie rods and outer were very close. grinding 1/4" off the tie rod end made them identical to my 280 tie rods.

here is a side by side comparison. i'de bet the cooling is way better with the zx but fitting it is another matter. plumbing should be able to use zx copper lines. i purchased this one off ebay for 25 bucks. they can be had for cheap.

L3N71 VS 3N71 one is more dished for the larger torque converter.

any year up to 1981 will work. 3N71 jatco's all used the same flex plate. in 82 they went to a locking torque converter L3N71 which has a different flex plate

Im not a big fan of bondo. I've had it fail many times in the past and thats on hard stable metal surfaces. Putting it over a foam surface just doesn't seem like it will last a long time. Plus, if you live in a high humidity area how would it hold up with that pourous surface beneath soaking up moisture? I'm more a fan of fiberglass and then bondo over the top. Yea i know its a sob sanding but maybe a compromise would be tiger hair bondo?

not my auction. if anyone is looking for rota's with tires already installed and no reserve. he's NOT shipping so its only for local people. Rota Wheels Toyo Proxes Datsun 240Z No Reserve | eBay

I heard it before i saw it. A ratty brown 280Z on The freeway that parallels the las vegas Strip. Man he was passing everyone By weaving in and out of lanes.

They also call that the Wangan expressway. did you have the gas attendant run out to the street and direct you when it was safe to go? With all the cool cars, beautiful women, great food its hard to get back on the plane.

You are so lucky. I work for the govt too but unfortunately i'm deemed essential and have to work thru the shutdown. I would love to have a week or two off to work on the z.

south africa or south australia?
