  1. Actually, I have one that I just restored. Unfortunately Like Mark has mentioned before, shipping from GA to Alberta would not be pretty.
  2. I've never watched a BAT auction before, so I tuned in about the time it was to end. It started from the original 20K in $500 up bids. When the auction was supposed to be over a timer of 2 minutes would start with each new bid . It didn't end until there was no counter bid within the 2 minute timer well after the official end time. I know real person auctions go until there are no more bids but I'm not familiar with online bidding other than ebay with a set end time. Is that common with bigger ticket items like cars to extend the auction time?
  3. Bidding war! Sold at 36K, dings and all!
  4. Here's your solution, Get the correct part #'s from the Courtesy Nissan link. Call your local Nissan dealer to order them. They should have them the next day. Install them in the correct locations. I'll bet your headlights might work. Regular wire is not a good choice for that application. You will have done the work yourself……with the proper parts. Otherwise, make sure your insurance covers fire……….
  5. MMMMMMM….. the fresh scent of paint (even though it's primer). Gettin' Closer!
  6. Autozone is not going to carry fusible links. Neither is ORielly's. Go ahead and order the correct parts from one of the links that was given to you. (2) brown(or red), (1) black, (1) green and (2) covers.. They are cheap enough to carry spares in your glove box. The gauge you pictured is your voltmeter and fuel gauge. Check to be sure you have gas. Edit to say you are posting reference pics for a 75'. Remember yours is a 76'. It makes a Huge difference when referencing some specific parts, fusible links being one of them.
  7. Well, If your "parts warehouse" is out of stock I just happen to have said parts from a 77' that I'm willing to let go. The faceplate has a crack but I believe it to be repairable. The lens is in good shape. I can send you a pic later if you want to see. I'm leaving for a Scout meeting soon and there are couple of big storms starting to come through.
  8. Starting to smell like 30 - 35K might be possible. Grannyknot's 40k top could be the winner!
  9. Is that a wrench? Or are you just happy to see me?
  10. Lucky to be alive, for sure. This is scary for anyone involved or to have witnessed. I always remember wrecks like this when a young driver wants S30 as their first car. That's why I preach the safety factor to them.
  11. Holy cow, that's a lot of cutting! Chop shop experience showing? Maybe? It also kinda reminds me of the movie Fargo when the guy went into the shredder.
  12. I used a sawzall on my parts car. It was oddly gratifying feeling standing on the roof while cutting away. Unfortunately the current price paid for scrap is hardly worth it other than to get it out the way. I got $40 for 1200 lbs. last summer. Also, don't forget to take your title and or bill of sale with you to the scrap yard. They're going to ask for it.
  13. I can be minister of carburetors in your regime! I should know about them, but I don't, so I'd be perfect as a politician. Plus I would help schedule all the future EFI constituents,
  14. I'm gonna go with 20 something. I think all original and unmolested is very appealing to most buyers. 240's still have the magic for the want factor but 280's are just a more refined version and still have the . I hear it every time I take mine out.
  15. Only the cool cars say A/C. Sorry, I couldn't let it pass.
  16. At 15-20K you should be able to pick up a pretty nice car. There are recently some members here that are considering selling theirs. Also you can check out http://bringatrailer.com . Z's come up on there quite often as well as ebay.
  17. That must have been some good………. Welcome! You've come to the right place for Z knowledge. Some very, very informed people here. If you know the vin of your old 71' you could start here, or here http://www.zhome.com/IZCC/ZRegisters/classic.htm And after you find one this is an excellent knowledge/advice base to help you get it back in shape.
  18. I thought I'd seen most every configuration of the L series engine. I was wrong, and that includes the garden hose. The PO must have done some serious drugs when attempting this.
  19. I'm biting my tongue really hard right now.
  20. Well now, that came out of nowhere……..
  21. Unfortunately no. As with many Ebay stores it seems to have come and gone.
  22. No, not real leather. I ordered off of Ebay and it was a leather look alike but substantially cheaper. I had to do foam replacement also so I was trying to save a few $. Also, I was originally trying to match the Ginger color on the door panels, but decided on these instead. They wound up being shipped from Karachi, Pakistan.
  23. Finally got around to install some under dash lighting with LED's. Not exactly finished yet but I'm glad to address the black abyss issue when something fly's off the passenger seat and lands in the "wait until daylight" area. It'll be one less flashlight to carry. The bad part is now it'll show how dirty the floor is .
  24. Yep, It was him and he corrected me on FB after I questioned the post there . I'll go back to under my rock now……...
