its mounted to the OEM mount for a 260z, i added some sound insulation between the OEM mount and the chassis, i did not see any difference in the decibel rating. https://www.amazon.com/Noico-deadening-Automotive-Insulation-dampening/dp/B00URUIKAK/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=sound+insulator&qid=1574741161&sr=8-6 I added this to the doors and its way less tinny. I think the issue is that when you torque the bolts down between the chassis and the mount it squeezes it out. The following results are with the car running. pre-installation Post-installation Im curious to see what an airtex gets, the name of this app is "Decibel X" its free on iphones (skip the payment screen) Although by the looks of it, anything after 2khz appears to be more muted...... Maybe it is quieter, i got a bunch of fuel in my face when i dropped the fuel hose, might have effected my hearing. ?

i have this carter 4070, and all i can hear is the damn fuel pump through the mount and the chassis, ive been debating if i should throw a layer of dynamat between the OEM mount and the chassis to attempt to muffle it. The airtech seems to be better, does anyone have a video, (or better a decibel rating?) ? the nismo one looks just like an OEM pump!

how does the roof not fall from the snow weight?

Howdy, I wanted to clean up this old vent before installing it, I’m a little concerned about damaging the chrome on it, wanted to know if anyone had advise about this, don’t want to ruin/damage it. regards

My old 240sx had something similar to release gas. if you start drilling and using power tools to clean up there, make sure you throw some rags into the intake and exhaust ports, you don’t want any shards of metal falling in there at all. I think the drill/tap/loctited bolt would work fine. Maybe you should test this out on something old before you do it on your car. Junk yard had a bunch of scrap you can test it out on before you actually go to the head.

I ended up finding a blue point crimp tool for RBS #12-#6 and #12-#6; if you need someone to make a hose for you reach out, dont wanna let this tool go to waste.

California Prop 65 was intended to make polluting water ways with any State and Federal acknowledged carcinogen/substance that might cause birth defects. You can read more about the labels https://oehha.ca.gov/proposition-65/how-chemicals-are-added-proposition-65-list In this case I would guess that its lead; you know the element that's causing all sorts of issues in Flint, Michigan...

I have a 260z that had 1 modified 280z seat rail, and a no passenger seat. Been reupholstering seats for the car, just want to put in rails that work are not super janky. Still looking for rails. ?

@grannyknot did you machine that die yourself? looks great

bump bump, still looking for these plz. ?

No way I have a set of those and they are too large, pn. k9882 ?

Did you replace them with OEM boots? It looks like MSA has an option for something that’s after market, they advertise a good fit; anyone have experience with this? https://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/classic20o01a/23-4459

after my buddy and i gave this mk1 sprite back to the owner he started messing with the wiring (he wanted a push to start button ) and managed to mess it up so bad that the battery inverted its polarity. not sure why he did not just leave it alone and drive it, it was perfect when we handed it off.

? was it a stock cam? Is there a possibility for the valve's to slap the pistons in this case?

i usually go with Beck, i used their master and clutch cylinder, no complaints here.

https://www.yelp.com/biz/power-brake-exchange-san-jose these guys do a very nice job rebuilding mine; i think they powder coat for an extra $15? $135 out the door, but im local. I think they have a so-cal spot.

you have to modify the mounts on the lower middle valance, they are different between 70-73 and 74 (even though they look the same), air dam type 1 is cost effective and looks great.

Ignore the trashed interior plz, ill clean it I promise.

Howdy, I just wanted to share this super cool shift knob that @Captain Obvious finished for me last week. I wanted to repurpose my skateboard that I was using in high school after seeing these cool 917 shifters online. The Captain took the time to take the sections cut and glued, and shaped it to be just like the OEM shifter. He even was able to replicate the lower plastic portion out of aluminum as a final touch. We decided the correct thing would be to increase the diameter slightly due to having larger hands. With the small increase, I don't feel my pinky hit my palm like the OEM one does. I'd show it inside the car but I pulled off the interior to install the AC!

Ken, Im over in the EastBay, lmk if you need a hand (or an eye)
