  1. Barely! I saw some interior pics somehow, maybe bevhills website? It's got a T bone shift handle and a down periscope rusted hole on the passenger's side floorboard. Pretty rough but mid teens money ain't bad I don't think?
  2. That Lume deodorant commercial is my favorite for the last little while.
  3. I get Hagerty's buy/sale magazine and Beverly Hills auto has ruined it just like craigslist. I know Hagerty's needs the ad $$ () but damn! All the cool cars, 240Zs & Porsche's are Beverly Hills ads.
  4. DIY home OCD test. Buy a house payments worth of of Ultra HD television. Count the times you get up to clean the screen after set up, fingerprints on the screen. The freaks come out at night...
  5. Last I heard he was now into vintage guitars. He's going full blast on whatever he does. He brought me closer to the s30 than anyone or anything else, mostly. Can't say enough good things about him. He was so kind to my country bumpkin personality unlike the other dicks on zcar and told me about classiczcars.com. God bless him.
  6. Is this Diseazed guy? maybe... What a neat story.
  7. I've read time and time again on here about matching proper components with each other. My best example is the hottest motor with old ignition system. I bought a really nice television and after all the hassle of getting it home and hooked through all my stuff was very disappointed with the outcome. I was frustrated and about to box it back up and get a cheaper no frills tv, much cheaper. Then the light bulb flickered in my noggin. I need the newest version cable box from xfinity. It'll be here in a few days so until then I'm watching stuff through the internet source and it's amazing. My eyebrows melted. 20230108_144344.mp4
  8. These are the rubber plugs to the sides of the latch on the bottom of the hatch where it hits the slam panel.
  9. Originally mine had some black urethane caulk type stuff. I had to remove mine to get the bolts/screws that held down the rear spoiler. The weather stripping is what will use just like Zed Head. Here's the best i can get on the OE sealer...
  10. Nice car. I can't remember seeing the blue rocker paint strip on one before. Maybe some special paint scheme? Maybe blue paint tape left on?
  11. I bought some from a guy that found them in the attic of a house he bought. They look like they've been stored since new too. $125 I think I paid. Lucky life we live!
  12. It's been awhile for mine too but seems like it sprays pretty hard unlike newer cars. I do know I used a needle to move the little eyeball like sprayer's direction so it hit where I wanted it to.
  13. That sounds like something with the brakes to me. The coil overs aren't the problem. You should pull the wheels and see what's rubbing. Put a jack under the wheels/tires and put "weight" on them. Not free hanging. Look for shiny spots where the tires might be rubbing.
  14. I drove my '72 to the local grocer's and picked up some supplies. I do today what I plan on doing the New Year. Hopefully I want have a heart attack.
  15. Burn one and see if you get ashes or drips.
  16. That's hilarious! My sniffer.
  17. See how this works @jalexquijano
  18. I think the smell is coming off the carbs. But who knows, there's so many places it could be seeping out of. If it's a strong gas smell I say the carbs, nozzles not pulling up completely or the J hose that goes from float bowls to the carb may be bad. That sniffer will help. That'll be a good valentines gift to whatever her name is then. Thanks @DatsunZGuy.
  19. I think I turn these slightly clockwise, the rear ones???. The fronts are opposite. You'll get it just be easy and when you get them off use some fuel resistant RTV black i think and glue the float chamber lid gasket onto the lids. It'll save you many big time headaches in the future.
  20. Yes, they are made kind of shaped like a circle but idents on the sides where the bolts/screws hold them in place. If you lift up and turn them where the narrow part barely clears the carb body it'll raise up. Just barely but it will.
  21. See how we flock together? Like blackbirds.
  22. Good call Charles and Mark! They can be disassembled and cleaned too.
  23. That couldn't hurt I wouldn't think, just make sure the pistons maintain their free falling when you tighten down the domes. Is this something that just began happening, has it not been a problem previously? You could take the handle of a screwdriver and lightly tap around the float chambers to un-stick the floats if they could be stuck. Another way is stick a small red tube off a WD-40 can down the the vent bungs and see if the floats feel "bouncy" or buoyant in the fuel. Your fuel pressure couldn't have increased in any way? Sorry I'm just guessing but it will start a bunch of others to add their thoughts. Good luck. Cliff
