    Looks like it's been a good week all around. And I think we can both thank the great people here at ClassicZcars for their help as well. Dave

    Use this picture (taken from the gallery) to familiarize yourself with the bolt patterns and locations. Thanks Dkd021, great picture.

    Some are in blind spots, you just have to feel around.You need to reach under the exhaust manifold to get to them. The heat sheild is typically mounted to the intake. I can pesonally do it with my eyes closed but like I said, you gotta just feel around. Hell, just loosen every nut you find under there. Just remember to tighten then all back up when you're done. haha. Dave

    So after hitting the "All models" and "All years" button on accident. I found out that I have "THE #1 DATSUN". there are 2298 Datsuns of all models (510, 240Z thru 280Z) 620, 520, 720, etc, etc. Sorry to gloat but THIS IS AWESOME!!! Clicky Clicky..... http://www.cardomain.com/MakeModel/Datsun This is me, doing my Happy Dance again, :laugh: Thanks again to ALL who voted and rated my 240Z (and my 260Z) Dave

    The bolts on top are not the only ones. There are nuts all across the bottom of the intake that are "Shared" nuts. They hold the bottm of the intake and the top of the exhaust. You need to loosen all of them before the weight of the intake will pull the intake away from the head. DON'T USE A HAMMER!!! In the picture below (not a great one for the discussion) you'll see three top bolts, 3 middle nuts on studs and 3 bottom nuts on studs. The middle ones are the "Shared" nuts that need to be loosend, all the way across. Dave

    Yup, been covered about 100 times. I don't seriously expect anyone to read all 26 pages but I promise, it's been mentioned to death. That commercial is about 2 or 3 years old. JFYI. Dave
  10. Zs-ondabrain
    were you breathing when you found it? Or are you one of those "I did'nt inhale" types? hehehe

    Well, I don't know if congrats are in order or a simple good luck. Either way, I think you'll like the Great North West. I've lived just north of Seattle for almost all my Life, but have also lived all over Washington State. I also love visiting Oregon Every once in a while. There are TONS of Z owners down there and I think you'll feel right at home. In my opinion, Z (S30) Owners have turned out to be the kindest, most giving, considerate people I've ever met. I too try and return the favor whenever possible. That being said, if you're ever in the Everett/Marysville area, 30+ miles North of Seattle, Feel free to stop by anytime. We'll do lunch/dinner, whatever. Dave

    So you're just gonna leave it hanging? What the hell does it mean?
  13. Zs-ondabrain
    speaking of 260Z stuff, click on my "My 2/74' 260Z. Needs your 5 star votes!! Watch the rebuild unfold" link in my signiture. You'll like it.
  14. Zs-ondabrain
    Sounds about right. Sometimes, doing the bleeding with the vehicle facing down a slight incline gets the job done better, as it forces the air up toward the plunger and then the plunger forces it upwards and outwards. Speaking of masters, I got my 15/16" ZX master cylinder today (for the 260Z's big brake set-up. And took it right to the buffer after sanding it down. I also sandblasted the Vac Booster and painted it. Dave.
  15. Zs-ondabrain
    When you say " I tried bleeding to no avail" did you do it yourself or with some one else in the car. One thing you can do is run some clear tubing from the bleeder on the slave, up to the resevoir on the master, then slowly pump it and watch for air bubbles and keep the fluid level up. I'll be doing something similar to mine when I get to that point. Dave
  16. Zs-ondabrain
    The Clutch master cylinder all buffed and polished up.
    If it's aluminum, and it's in my engine compartment, IT WILL BE SHINY!!! No excuse for ugly aluminum around here.
  17. Zs-ondabrain
    Painted after buffing and polishing
    Had to wait a day before I could scrape the lettering and inner fins. It really sucked having to wait that long.
  18. Zs-ondabrain
    All done scraping and surfacing the letters and lines
    then I cleaned up with Acetone in light swiping motions to keep from screwing it up.
  19. Zs-ondabrain
    The 260Z motor is coming along, day by day.
    Kinda sucks that all I'm gonna do is throw a bag over it and stuff it in the corner till next spring or so. Chevy Orange paint on the Block, Every nut and bolt is being swapped for Stainless steel, where applicable. What do ya think
  20. Zs-ondabrain
    Finished polishing and buffing the 260Z Valve cover
    It was black 2 days before this picture. It took me about 8 hours to wetsand, use surfacing pads, buffing wheels (1 heavy duty and 1 spiral sewn) with Tripoli and white color blending compound.

    Finally tore out the steering column on the 260Z and found this.... According to HS30 it might mean 'Chikara' ( meaning 'power' ) and the "OK" so I guess it passed. Dave
  22. Zs-ondabrain
    after the clean-up
    All the bolts have been replaced with Stainless steel bolts nuts and washers.
  23. Zs-ondabrain
    after the clean-up, but not done yet
    painted and polished everything. All this so I can put a bag over it and stuff it in a corner for now.
  24. Zs-ondabrain
    before the clean-up
