My early '72 has the horizontal hubcap popper as shown in the OP's pictures. I guess it's actually perpendicular with the wheel nut end. Easier to pry with the later style. .

Looks my heat riser before did a header. lo

Oh it's the BENGALS that's gonna cause a manic Monday 2/14/22?

Probably had the key in the ashtray. My Dad hauled cars after he retired and left the keys in the ashtray so he wouldn't have to keep up with them. Luckily he never got fired.

I've not heard of them but there's other options too. https://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/11-3001 Zcardepot.com has some but I can't find them for some reason. I rebuilt mine with the kit from ztherapy and just with basic knowledge it was easy and they turned out great. Took them apart and cleaned the exterior with aluminum polishing wad rebuilt the insides and am extremely happy with the results. The rebuild kit comes with a DVD that helped a ton, made it really easy with the rewind. I watched it a few times before I ever turned a screw. Another suggestion would be look in the classified section on here for some. If there's not any start a new thread about needing a good set. They're out there for sale ready to bolt on. Check ebay too. Goodluck!

I have a Tilton 10lb 225mm flywheel with a Exedy OEM spec clutch and love it. I guess they quit making them for our cars as I can't find a new one on the internet. I did find this though... https://forums.hybridz.org/topic/50119-experiences-with-aluminum-flywheel-on-zs/?do=findComment&comment=438416

It was all my fault. It's cold here and I was bored. Too much of this

My local dealer won't allow that buying out crap. They're not stupid. I remember Reddit? I think on ebay was/is a rapist. California Datsun did the same opportunistic thing. Bad apples, I say, ruin it for us. I used to get a 30% discount but no more, those days are gone.

Okay it gets to the Xs and Ys. Hermaphrodite dogs! Damn... https://www.petplace.com/article/dogs/pet-health/hermaphrodite-and-pseudohermaphrodite-in-dogs/ This thread went to the wild side. I'm sorry my Dutch friend but some lobe in my brain isn't in the right place.

You're forever a good to go Z god from the video of 3rd gear chirp.

Nice transmission cart! I may ask for the dimensions one day. I've got a few standing up that I'd prefer being able to move more easily. Thank you. Cliff

How's your engine build? I remember reading about the very meticulous guy's comments and wondered if he finished it up for you. I think he buillt aerial motors? Can't wait to see the finished car. I've been keeping up.

Oh yeah Racer X, down here in the Deep South these redneck hunters put rubber bands on the boys balls cutting off the blood flow. Balls fall off so they won't get injured chasing racoons or deer or whatever. Don't want to scratch their nuts on a briar but put rubber bands on them for a month. Even worse they "cull" the females to save money on dog food. Use your imagination on my "cull" remark. It ain't good.

Good info, thanks for sharing but WHY do they do it? It's like that redneck flat tire joke, "guy pulls up and sees a lady standing by her flat tire and says you gotta flat tire? No, I let the air out." My dog has no balls and now a tatoo to prove he has no balls.

Since they did that he's been the sweetest dog ever. When he dies, and I'm already prepared for it this time, I'll get another boy and do the same exact thing. His "lipstick" pokes out every know and then but not aggressive at all. He's the best!

I don't know but that makes more sense although they did offer me some prosthetic balls for Buddy. He also got a small tatoo as a marker that he'd been neutured, Smoothe as a horses nose down there and they gave him the green mark. WTF?

Spraying soap thingy. You are way above me. I can only read English, you can do Dutch and English. Party on! Oh yeah, spaying is what we do to female animals to keep them from getting pregnant. It's way better than males, we cut their testicles off. My boy dog doesn't have anything to lick and when I was a kid we were so poor if I didn't have testicles I wouldn't have had anything to play with.

Man that's great! Congratulations, you deserve it. You have a great hobby that'll last a long time. I have an E31 that's needs to look like your Maxima heads. Maybe one day? Cliff

I've read train service is in high demand again with all the "new" shipping that has gone to s h i t. Everything old is new once again proven. Hang in there Steve.

In my neck of the woods throwout and release means the same thing. And the special washing machine is called a chemical vat at our machine shops. But your's could have been some kind of ultrasonic thing like for transmission parts? How you like me now? Party on Wayne!

I've used Valvoline max life 10w30 for 5 plus years and the cam lobes look nice and shiny. Oil never gets really dark like Castrol 20/50 I ran in my '89 BMW 325is. Good pressure on the gauge too but I use turbo oil pumps.

No clear vin# I could find and a black engine bay? Hemmings maybe stretching the true price on this one. Whups! I made a mistake I think? I can see green but not normal for that low mile car. Sorry...

I've learned, have them tested before you leave. They're about half junk for sure but eventually you'll get a good one.

I can't rember the total weight of the rod and piston assembled but I used the ones that had the same stamped numbers on the cups and rod caps. I chose to grind off a gram or two off the outer longer length of the rods to get them equal. I had the the flywheel resurfaced and balanced by the machinest but bolted up the the clutch kit straight out of the box. It gets close to 7,000rpm and is smooth, no vibration at all. Make sure and have your throwout bearing pressed on from your machinest. I used the old one to drive a new one on my first time and it whines in neutral unengaged. Works great but is annoying to me. Heres something I found on a 2.4 build, good read.

Brake cleaner? That's pretty strong stuff. I like the "low and slow" approach like barbecue.
