Would You Pay $400 For Tail Lamps?
I bought these JDM spec, whatever that means?, before Christmas this past year. When I went to put the bulbs in I noticed the sockets only had one contact point for the amber lenses. I thought I'd be returning them but NO. Put the dual filament 1157s in and everything worked fine. They just light up with the turn signal.

'72 240Z Rebuild
Well my machinist called and said the pit in bore #4 isn't repairable. Talked me into putting in a small block Chevy V8 he has.

What Are These Holes For?
The lap belt does have a retractor. The shoulder belt just hangs on a clip attached below the rear windows. Once I'm buckled up and snug, I can't even reach the radio. Maybe someday I'll get one of these, http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/classic08f09/40-7490

Buying My First 280Z
Sunroof(s) and white interior with pinstriping or an early 240, uhm. Two forty, hands down, it'll double in price.

What Are These Holes For?
My 02/'72 didn't have shoulder belts. I think the previous owner removed them, they are a PITA, so I robbed the ones of my other car. The police look for that black stripe across your chest around here. I don't have those covers, just bolts showing.

Choke lever mount broken under console
I've had the bracket for almost a year, finally got tired of pulling the ashtray out to hold the choke lever assembly. So I decided to put it on yesterday and it works great. I'm about to order another one. 2 things, read the instructions then throw them away and get online to look at better pictures. Use self-tapping sheet metal screws.

Quick Jerk When Letting Off Of The Excelerator Pedal
Here's when I was fooling with mine, http://www.classiczcars.com/topic/42497-bcdd-removal/ You could pull the wire off the solenoid to disable it and see if has any effect.

Quick Jerk When Letting Off Of The Excelerator Pedal
Dash pot rod may need adjustments. The white plastic thing with an open hole that looks like there is hose missing. Or maybe the BCDD?

Is 3 In One Motor Oil (Blue Label) Any Good As Damper Oil?
I'm pretty sure that's straight 30 weight. Not multi weight. A lot of folks use ATF.

There's a hump next to the plug threads, I believe. Do a google image search and you'll see it I can post a picture later. I'm away from my February '72 E88 now. Sorry.

'73 240 New Paint Job - Gt-R Red And All Black Trim
I agree with that. I removed that heavy front bumper before installing the spoiler, it would get a little squirrelly when the wiper blades lift off the windshield. But now it's steady as a rock when the wipers do their dance. I'm going to have to find spoilers for the wipers.

I think Jasper is engine replacement chain. I've heard of them before.

It has both of the larger valves. It would bolt right onto a 2.8 block without any work but I'm putting it on the 2.4 block which requires some extra grinding so they won't hit the smaller bore of the 2.4. Bore releifs, notching the block and valve releifs are some of the terms I've heard so far. As for other changes I'm adding a better breathing cam coupled with it's accompanying componets. I should add that a smaller cam isn't necessary, I'm just bored. It's been a long winter.
