    Here's a good read on 3M tape from EScanlon. Auto paint shops would have good info also.

    I like your new picture Mr Arnett. She's a beauty!
  3. yes! My 2000 Camry has a very similar aluminium bumper like this Cruz under the bumper cover.
  4. I'm not sure what sending units work on which years. Seems like the side mount would be the same but they say up until 1974. i thought '75 and '76 had the side mount too? I know my '77 drops in from the top, under the hatch deck. here's the part numbers for Nissan sender and o-ring, $50 is what I paid a few years ago from my local dealership. part number is on the box in one of the pics, o-ring number is written in the post. You've been dealing with this for awhile I see. Hope you get it fixed! Cliff
  5. If you don't mind and need it running just cover the hole with JB Weld or similar. It's at the rear, who'll see it?

    If I ever do it again tape will be used. I did put rubber fender washers under the bolts. Keeps the spoiler off the paint.
  7. Me too! You need it when? Dat soon?

    is that #307? I love that!
  9. There's a few cold start parts that could be bad or out of adjustment. The cold start valve, the AAR auxiliary air regulator both help on first start up.
  10. Red Line fluid for the transmission and the rear differential would be my recommendation. Be sure the differential fill plug will come loose before draining. Good tutorial... http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/mtl/index.html Thanks Phillip, @240260280z
  11. Your's is the opposite than mine, damn it! You have a "reserve" like a motorcycle does. I only could wish for that scenario. haven't been stranded so far but it is nerve racking when I'm on the interstate. I pretty much top mine off after each drive. I didn't know about the set screw they talk about above. One day when I'm really bored and can't sleep I may pull mine and see if I can get it right. Is there any chance your gauge glass is hitting the needle? I say this because when I bought mine the sending unit was rusted frozen and the guy I bought it from had "tapped" the heck out of the gauge causing the glass to fall inwards and hinder the needle sweep. Best of luck! Cliff

    here's my rear spoiler as mounted from the dealership in 1972. It's mounted right before the hatch rolls down. That was one of the hardest things I've done that I thought would be easy. Take the vinyl cover off the interior side bottom of the hatch to access the bolts. Getting the nuts on are a huge pain in the rectum. Good luck! Not my car but the 432 google search... https://www.google.com/search?q=mounting+rear+spoiler+classiczcars.com&rlz=1C1BOFA_enUS494US494&oq=mounting+rear+spoiler+classiczcars.com&aqs=chrome..69i57.11718j1j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
  13. Edit, I'm a slow typer. 26th-Z is right. It would have to be driven in straight on. I use a big socket with tape on the end and a hammer for the block's plugs. Good luck, I hope you find an answer. You could always use the rubber expansion plugs if you get the old one out. I forgot about those.
  14. I have to ask why you are removing it? I've never heard of anybody doing that. I know the core plugs on the block can be knocked loose with a flat head screwdriver on the edge and hitting it with a hammer.
  15. The owner of ours dilled and dropped explosives down and blew it to small chunks. After he closed it the bowls filled with water and some drunk teenager drowned in the murky water. Sad all the way around.
  16. My last one. Hoping to build a glass display/frame kinda thing. Ordered it when you had to go to the way back in a magazine.
  17. The one I found had air in the tires for just moving it around. I'm with Wheee, $500 and see where his mind is. Buy it if you can because you could clean it up and make some easy money. The prices are going straight up like a rocket.
  18. My '70s fashion was Huffy bicycles and Alva skateboards. The cars I rember were the Vega and that small Opal. I liked those.
  19. I don't think sense was involved here, good or bad. Those are a horrendous abomination. Cadillac headlights, OMG how fugly.
  20. I have had a couple of #305s, have one now, but none with white interior. The only one I've ever seen was at ZCON. An RHD Eiji had. If it were mine I'd go darker, #307.
  21. I'm stuck indoors until some rain comes through this evening and washes that stuff away for a day or two. Lesson I learned the other morning, do not take Benadryl in the a.m.
  22. never seen an open ended ratcheting wrench, seems impossible. Must be a typo, empty mini bar? just playing John! Whelp, my bad. https://www.lawsonproducts.com/lawson/Wrench-Open-End-Ratcheting-10mm/16414.lp?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&adpos=1o1&scid=scplp16414&sc_intid=16414&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI9qDWpZKq4QIVxI2zCh3jbwksEAQYASABEgJccvD_BwE
  23. I think my $5 volume knob from Radio Shack wired into the coolant sensor wires would do the trick for a bigger cam. I can flood it out now with it turned all the way clockwise. I can't remember if it's a 1K pot or a 5K though.
  24. A dent? "Is she pretty?" "She's reeeaal nice"

    A guy told me last Saturday that I meant 240SX when he asked about my Z. That happens a lot to
