    Any time! LOL
  2. 😇Good ole Blue! I miss that rascal.
  3. She had problems with the valve and after a bunch of back and forth finally found one on E-bay from somebody like "sam the fuel guy"??? Her's is a '78 280 but it will be the same as far as I know.
  4. I used piggy back connectors on the nail head studs on the top of the sending unit. Coverd it all with liquid electrical tape. Worked good for me, the rubber boots fell all to pieces on my '72.

    You're going to have to use a machine shop so why not let them get the guides? They've got access to all that kind of stuff. I worried myself to death looking for chrome faced rings like Nissan used for my standard 2.4 block and all I could find were steel. My machinist had them in 2 days. It's worth a call I think.
  7. The wireless bras need recharging.
  8. I have a set that I've never used if you need any measurements let me know. Any way these might be helpful?
  9. I like to view the last 24 hours looking for something I might can help with. Now it just shows the title and nothing else as far as questions or brief parts of the question. I miss that. Well, well, well now...Just figured it out. You need to have an instructions page for using the forum. LOL! If you click the box to the right in the smaller red circle it goes back to what I like. Who posted and a few sentences about what they said. Below is a screen grab after I figured it out. A few minutes ago it just said "Lily build" Zed Head posted a post (which is kind of silly sounding, maybe redundant)? "Zed Head posted in a topic". It's my nutty brain that sees these odd to me small things. Time to eat dinner was my first one when I was a kid. "time to eat dinner" what the hell else you supposed to do with it? It used to look like this and I didn't like it.

    Hoping someone can use these and advise me on a good selling price. NO MOUNTING FLATS were built into these I bought these when I was all caught up in making my 280Z look like a 240Z. I did the common sense thing and found a 240Z I could afford. They do not have mounting points, the guy told me they were for race cars and to bolt them up as I saw best. I've had them in storage for 10 years or more. Here's where I bought them... https://www.ztrix.com/bumper $100 each? If you want them let's talk because I want them gone, spring cleaning time. I'll add pictures of mine later today. Thanks for any replies. Cliff Oh yeah, I have an E31 bare head with larger steel valve seats installed I was going to put my cam kit on but found a P90 head that I'll use instead. Pictures later and then somebody can help me put a dollar figure on it? It came with a 240Z I bought in 2013.
  12. Could have been "shop s30.world" ? That's what I've seen for new tanks. https://shop.s30.world/
  13. Here is some threads that may be helpful for you to recondition the strap. https://www.google.com/search?q=240z+differential+belt+recoditioning+classiczcars.com&sca_esv=cc17e54ac3639420&rlz=1C1VDKB_enUS1121US1121&ei=17rqZ4miB5qLwbkPiPnusAk&ved=0ahUKEwjJ6dOL17SMAxWaRTABHYi8G5YQ4dUDCBA&uact=5&oq=240z+differential+belt+recoditioning+classiczcars.com&gs_lp=Egxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAiNTI0MHogZGlmZmVyZW50aWFsIGJlbHQgcmVjb2RpdGlvbmluZyBjbGFzc2ljemNhcnMuY29tMgcQIRigARgKMgcQIRigARgKMgcQIRigARgKSJY6UPEFWIg1cAF4AZABAJgBuQGgAZUSqgEEMC4xN7gBA8gBAPgBAZgCEqAC2hLCAgoQABiwAxjWBBhHwgIHECEYChirAsICBRAhGKsCmAMA4gMFEgExIECIBgGQBgiSBwQxLjE3oAeBdA&sclient=gws-wiz-serp
  14. The one above goes down inside the speedo cog housing, the O-ring goes on the outside where it slides up into the transmission from what I remember. espirist shows it here: I found a picture of the O-ring I'm thinking about. Uploading Attachment...
  15. Any young kids around? My next door's 5 year old put gravel in my Nissan D-21 p/u fill hole. Cost his Dad some money too. Maybe a Snickers bar in there?
  16. These cars didn't have coated tanks when new so they get "gas varnish" whatever that is. I coated both of mine with Red-Kote after a good cleaning but that's a lot of work. Until your ready for that just keep the fuel level at half a tank and enjoy the ride. Here's a couple of things you could read over... https://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/fuel/gastank/index.htm https://www.google.com/search?q=gas+varnish&rlz=1C1VDKB_enUS1121US1121&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 EDIT: Some gas stations have ground water leaking into their old tanks so sometimes they will get moisture causing rust but if you keep fuel in it the rust won't happen, it takes oxygen and moisture to rust.
  17. Maybe he'll get a notification or something. @GoldAir

    This older but might be helpful.
  21. I would just use heater hose from a chain parts store. Isn't that what you have on the others? That braided stuff is original to the car so the rubber you can't see is most likely getting brittle. Just a guess but "why you're there". 😁
  22. I would change that lower braided hose for something newer if it were mine.

    I bought Rhino ramps and use them with my cars and lawn mower for removing and sharpening the blades. They work great for me and cost a lot less. Also they stack together for easy storage.

    We, well not so much me as Zed Head and Captain Obvious who have to know why, keep you on your toes. I vote them President and Vice-President of our little club. Maybe they'll rub off on some others...
