In GA, anything older than 1985 is bill of sale, no title needed. When I bought mine with a bill of sale and got tags I specifically asked about getting a title for it. The DMV was not the least bit interested and told me it was not required or worth the effort. As far as selling in the future to someone in another state, that state would honor GA law so far as the title issue.

Any chance Jai could run a bottle of FI cleaner in the meantime? Something like a bottle of Lucas or similar product even at idle couldn't hurt until the 29th.

Well, that makes one more FI car experience than me! I also have an extra FPR, untested though, came out of a junkyard. I'll gather a bunch of whatevers that I think might apply (that includes a cooler with ice). I think Tim might have relatives up near here. Maybe you could put some family pressure on him to come and we could both learn something from a pro! Edit to say: There is a 77' in a junkyard in Jasper. I believe there is a FPR on there, but no AFM. If not to far, you might want to check it out for other stuff you think Jai may need.

Jai, has the car restarted since you got it home? Steve, I got my boy in school and can make it on the the adventure. I have both the sensor and the plug that you mentioned. My Z is getting ready for body work and I do not have an immediate need for them just yet. Did all the fuel lines check out? I might have extra hose also.

Genius always hides in odd places…….

That unit over the brake booster with the vac lines is definitely not on my 1/77 with factory A/C. Can you get a shot of that Whole corner including the Brake and Clutch Master Cylinders?

RockAuto has a Wholesale Closeout listing for parts and some of your wants are on there. This page is for a 77' so you might want to verify the correct parts for you 76'. http://www.rockauto.com/RSS/vehiclefeeds.php?carcode=1209248&m=wc&l=en&html=true But be careful on shipping. They can lead you down the garden path pretty quick when they ship from multiple warehouses. It'a a gamble but sometimes when I add or eliminate items (or even re-add a part) in the cart, it updates with different warehouse shippers each time. Kinda like roulette.

Replaced the inner speedometer pinion seal. What a PITA! Had to dig that %$#@% out with small screwdriver. I think it was original.

I popped mine in with a small flathead screwdriver. In a not too rough fashion, I stuffed in one side of the base fitting and then worked around till it all went in. Should only take a second. Just be careful not to push in so much as to slice the stem.

Yes, welcome to the disease. Looks like you will be doing some serious cleaning just to find out where to begin. My suggestion would be to start a notebook on what needs you come across, then you can get a better idea where to start. It will be easy to get overwhelmed at some point, but don't worry, it can be done! I noticed that it is an early 77 with the slanted rear deck. Just a heads up when it comes to carpet be sure to order specific for early 77. The rear deck section is where it's a special fit.

One of these days I'm going to make it to one of these. Hopefully this fall after I get to the paint stage.

Y'all must have beenBoy Scouts, and I mean that in a good way because I'm involved in Boy Scouts. I've been watching this thread and I actually live about 30 to 40 minutes away from Jai. She mentioned that Steve was going to come up sometime this month and look at her car.I offered to help but unfortunately I'm out of town right now. Steve, when you come back up to help with her car I would love to be there and offer assistance.I have tools and a car ramp but I don't have a fuel pressure gauge. I also have a FPR that was pulled of a junker, but don't know if it's good or not. I could probably fabricate a battery hold down before we go. Just let me know, I would love to help.

You probably already know this, but sometimes a dedicated ebay seller hasn't listed all of their parts yet. I've had some luck by contacting them and asking for specific parts. Especially odd parts like heater doors and such. Here's an example of what I mentioned earlier about 240 scuff plates. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Datsun-240Z-Inner-Scuff-Plates-1970-1973-NEW-/311400687253?hash=item4880ed6695.

If your are talking about the interior scuff plate, I found mine for a 77' on ebay. I see those plates for a 240 all the time there but only on occasion for the later years. I often wondered if the 240 scuff plates would function properly on the later years.

Any photo editing software can reduce your image size easily. For your Icon picture, it needs to be really small. like 128k and low resolution (72dpi and around 2 or 3 inches big) or something like that. It's not to exact. Just has to be small in size. If you don't have that kind of software let me know and I can do it for you.

What SteveJ said. You can also add or change your header image there also.

Very nice work! I had the same issues with my turn signals except that the reflector itself was rotted through at the bottom of one of the socket holes and therefore not stable enough for aluminum tape. Wound up fabricating a new one out of aluminum flashing. Works fine so far.

It does say 2800cc, 5spd, mdl year 1991, and the bonus is that it is a 5-seater (at least through my translation app.) A lot of what seems like inaccurate info. but who knows? Maybe you can fit 5 Japanese people in there?

My seat covers came from ebay, carpet came from MSA, and I can't remember where the foam came from . Very happy with all products. Like the others mentioned, do it on a warm day in the sun if you can. It will help getting the covers over new foam if you go that way. It can can turn into a wrestling match so give yourself some room but it is very doable. My 77 came with no carpet to speak of but a tiny remnant of it was cut pile. Personally, I wouldn't hold it against anyone for using loop pile. Although if you drive barefoot and have long toenails it could become a hazard .

If you can't find one from this group, I'm pretty sure Black Dragon, MSA and Z Car Source carry them. The lenses themselves are not very expensive but the housings are not so cheap.

Certainly a humbling experience for both drivers.

Thought this was a little unexpected….. http://www.itsallviral.com/nissan-350z-races-porsche-911

These came with my Z. I assume they are original because of the datsun center caps. Some days I love them but on occasion I want something different.

The brake light issue drove me crazy on my 1/77. I read all the threads, checked all the wires and connections, bled and re-bled the brakes. Mine came with the wires for sensors on the brake fluid caps but no where to connect them. As Zed and Site mentioned, there is a relay under the passenger seat. It tends to get cooked if there has ever been an alternator issue. They are also NLA and not really made to open easily. There is a thread somewhere on here about how to re-wire a relay from 78' (still available) to function in it's place, although it is not for the inexperienced. I'm lucky enough to have a neighbor who is an electrical engineer to rewire one for me for the price of two Sam Adams. All said and done, not until I replaced my brake master cylinder did it solve the problem. The brakes seemed to work fine but the inner seals were mush.

I finally did this swap with an ebay honda fan, and glad I did it. Not TONs of difference for a 280, but certainly more air volume especially for defrost and center vent. I had a lot of issues to deal with under the dash so Instead of lying on my back and eating whatever I dropped, I removed the dash. It made that part of the job very easy to do. While I was there I replaced the leaking heater core, heater hoses, side air ducts, bulbs, re-sealed and painted the blower box. Now the air even smells better .
