When I reassembled my car, I regretted not starting with the inspection lids first. It just seemed like the best place to start as I had to go back and adjust the fenders afterward. MTC

I am the responsible party and stand in shame. OK...now let's drive...!!!

The patience of Job...thanks, Steve...!

I think the gold plated "ring" on the front is actually supposed to be kind of an olive green. That being said, mine are like yours. BTW SteveJ has mine "tooting"...! Awesome...!

Thought I would jump in. SteveJ is working on my horns after I quickly became frustrated with their lack of function. I had the parts plated and powdercoated and then reassembled them with a rebuilding kit from a guy in Canada that was available on Ebay. The kit contained Mylar self-stick gaskets and all the nuts and bolts. The gaskets were a bit difficult to deal with after peeling off the backing. I didn't really like that they were sticky-back. Anyway, I thought I had reassembled them correctly, but got nothing out of them in terms of noise or vibration...hence enlisting Steve to come to the rescue. He may regret taking the project on, but I appreciate his kindness...Thanks, Steve...!

That's not for the hatch.

I paid $200 plus shipping for it and never took it out of the box. If I could get $150 plus shipping I'd be grateful.

I have a Nissan OEM hatch seal I will sell. I bought it from MSA a while back and didn't use it. Anyone interested...?

So where did this come from...?

Will do...! My curiosity lies in how any of the many options will bend in the radiussed corners...

Looks like plenty to choose from...Thanks...!

Does anyone know of a source for the rubber seals on the tool storage bins behind the seats of the 240-Z...? As always, I appreciate anyone's help...Ryals

Not to sound ignorant, but isn't that a seatbelt mounted to the side rail...?

Did it originally come with the 5-Speed...? My '73 did not. If I had to do the restoration over, I would have left the original 4-Speed intact as well as the original engine. I would never sell either, so I can still swap both back in for a true "numbers matching" car. Until then, I will drive it and enjoy it.

I am swapping my whining 3:36 for a 3:54 as we speak. I am currently running a 5 speed and can't wait to relieve myself of the whining and the somewhat better performance. I realize that it's not going to be dramatic, but I am not going to be autocrossing the car either. 3:70 is what I would have preferred, but I'll be happy enough if the decelleration whine is gone...!

"I did not inhale...!"

Hey...My father had the same Kiwi shoeshine box as in your pic...! Awesome...!!!

Doesn't the R200 involve modifications...? Not sure I am up for that...

Question...what is meant by an "open" differential. 3:70 i probably what I am looking for as long as it is a "plug and play" unit as I am really not up for an modifications to my current setup. Thanks, Terrapin...!

View Advert WTB: R180 Differential Hello...I'm looking for an R180 Differential with a higher gear ratio. I swapped in a 5 speed to my '73 and not only is it slow, but my current rear end whines like a SOB when decellerating. I have read that all AUTOMATIC Z's used a 3.54 rear end, whereas the 4 Speeds used a 3.37. I was looking for something a bit steeper, but would accept the 3.54 if it didn't have the concerning whine. Any help would be appreciated. Ryals in north Georgia BTW...I do NOT expect to get a good diff for $100...I had to enter some number in that box in order to publish the ad.

No drag racing, but better performance on twisty mountain roads...

So what would be the best rear end ratio (R180) to mate with a "close-ratio" zx transmission...?

So running non-ethanol REGULAR may be better than PREMIUM E10...?

How about some kind of insulating washer plates for fuel rail mounting...? Two holes...one to bolt plate to intake, one the through bolt rail to plate. Like some kind of Phenolic material...? Just a thought.
