I will be posting mine for sale a little later this year. I will be going to 15 inch wheels and sell the minilites. The car is still in storage for the winter and as soon as I get the extra cash I will do the swap.

I need to get carpet as well. I was looking at Auto Custom Carpets. www.accmat.com Anyone tried those?

I have seen manifolds for sale for the Z car that take two weber sidedrafts. I think those would also accept mikunis. Then it would be a matter of the linkage.

From the reading I did, Datsun switched to the 9mm rod and rod bolt in April of 1972. In 1990 I purchased a set of 9mm bolts through a dealership for my engine. The part number for the bolt was 12109-N0110 and the nut was 12112-N0101. My engine builder had them fit to my 8mm rods. The bolts were $2.00 ea. and the nuts were .42 ea. I wonder what they go for now. Maybe the ARP is cheaper.

I prefer the black and red flames. Also something on the hood. I think just paint it black.

Hi Victor, I also want to extend my sympathy. I would be devastated if it happened to my car. I have gotten attached to it after 25 years and lots of money invested. Because of that i have it fully covered incl theft. Luckily not at California prices. I am really sorry you were not covered for theft. Mine is covered for $15,000. I have even more than that into it. The condition yours is in will be hard to replace reasonably with another. We hope it comes back like a runaway pet. Steve

I have seen this once before. I suspect one of two reasons. First you may have a set of the old long discontinued race struts sold thru Datsun Comp Dept. One thing different about these was that the lower spring perch was 2" higher than the stock version. Reason was to create tire clearance just as the reason for coilovers is. If you were to put your springs on those struts that is the result you would get. If you have them keep them they are rare! Second some guys got the same idea years back and cut off their stock spring perch, raised it 2" and rewelded back on. This again would give you the same result installing your springs. In fact people do not to this day have to go to coilovers for tire clearance, raise the perch and cut the spring.
