No this is a E31. My E88 has the same markers. I sold the P90 and I don't recall what that looked like.

Its been so long ago I had to look. Yup vent holes. Correct for my 72.

Anyone opinion. Are these dimples depth markers related to head cut maximum? Or just related to the casting process.

Sorry. I bought the last pair in the US in 1990. And I can't sell them as they are welded on my car.

I did see a place that sold the deck carpet separate as I recall. I will see if I can find it again.

Those all look like 1972's. If any of the few silver ones have a red interior, could be mine. Wonder how may hundreds or thousands were red interior in 1972. That single blue one I see with the white interior is fairly rare. I have only seen one.

Just cut them off and replace. MSA stocks those lines. I replaced mine with the MSA ones. Like yours mine were original from 1972 and need to be replaced for safety.

They are hit and miss. Sometimes you get a reply from them and sometimes not. Go MSA.

I happen to know a person in the pet food business. He makes trips to China to find the cheapest junk to put in their blends. I think most all makers do the same unfortunately. I don't trust all Vets either. Some accept money to recommend a product. Just like many Doctors on the payroll of drug companies.

Posted by Jai on November 11th. "This morning RedBird started great and warmed up with no problem. Drove to the body shop, (story about that below). Leaving there, started and drove to the local flea market. When leaving the flea market she started and then stalled. Jumped out and QUICKLY opened hood to look at the fuel gauge. It was exactly on 30. Tried to restart her, and she willingly did."

I talked to Jerry at Schneider about a cam such as yours that I have. He said 10.5 to 11.0 CR required. Too high for pump gas. He also says the 300 duration puts you outside of the street RPM driving range. Try it out and let us know.

I know Jai reported on one of the previous occasions she did open the hood and the gauge read good pressure. Ignition?

I don't think you installed 2 new rear struts. I think you mean new shocks I assume. If you just installed the shocks, that really does not do much for ride height unless a person installed the old discontinued high pressure Bilstein shocks. Now those raised the car. Been there done that. A 240Z shock can go into a 280Z strut. You need to verify if you have a 280Z strut installed.

I keep coming back around full circle that a 280Z strut may be installed on the side that is low. If you were to put 240Z springs on a 280Z strut, I think that is exactly how it would sit. Measure the length of both struts to see if same length. That will help get past that possibility.

Does the car drive? Have you had it out on rough road and beat the heck out of it yet? What does it look like after that? Any noises or rubbing?

The first photos showing the gap was good for starters. You want to post photos with the rear wheels off the car so we can help to see what is going on. Side on photos and shots from the rear forward.

The first thing I would do is with the car on the ground see if both front and rear control arms are sitting at the same angle relative to each other.

Like the Porsche 911, Nissan would have been far better off staying with the original design success and kept refining it to something like that shown. Not a fan of that nose but close.

Interesting possibilities. This head came from Georgia. I guess they do things different down there.

Take a look at the seals that were put on this E88 head. And 2 seals are not the same as the rest on top of that.

Me too, last weekend. Pulled the battery too and brought inside. See you have a TR6. I had a 1969. Wish I could find it a buy it back. Car was sold to couple in Illinois in the 70's then disappeared. Could be in Canada for all I know. Ha.

Heck yes,I have seen that video before too. Is that your 240Z?

As a follow up I did get the old line removed from the junction block. It turns out the hard lines to the left and right rear flex lines are NLA. I made one and worked out good. I also replaced the original hard lines that go on the drum backing plates. Those are still available. Finished up by installing braided stainless flex lines. Have to put the same lines on the front yet.

Nice big wheels and tires too. Didn't notice before it had those. Looks very nice.
