2-4-T-Z-MAN

I'm not sure of the power increase, but I did notice a difference in the idle and exceleration once I installed the trumpets. A buddy of mine races Z's with mikunis like mine and he is the one that suggested I get some. They affect the air flow into the carbs by making a smooth transition into the carbs. As to filters I installed the trumpets in a set of K&N filters. The intake is short enough to allow filters that will let me do that. There are some foam filters that can be stretched over the trumpets, but they get dirty fast. Good luck.

Hi Greg, Using the key code is the easiest way. Just find a locksmith with the key cutter. A nissan dealer should have one also. The only other way I know of is to have a locksmith do it the old fashion way, which is to trial fit a key blank, cut, retry, cut, etc. That way takes some time and could cost alot more than having the code. Find the key code if you can. My 72 had a sticker in the glove box with the code, try there. Good luck. Barrie

At least it sounds as if yours snapped at home or someplace where you could fix it. Mine snapped at an out of town car show. I had popped the hood, or bonnet as you call it, the night before the show to flip the kill switch for the battery. The next morning the &%$#(*%@(*& cable broke. Same scenario to open it only I used a short screw driver to trip the latch. Feel your pain brother!!!!!

I don't think you will. You may find that you will need a front mount since you have an early car. But you wont know til you start to line everything up.

All I replaced on my 72 was the dif. and the moustache bar. Just pay attention to how the bar is mounted on the donor car. The R200 is longer than the current dif. The bar has a different bend to accommodate the length of the R200 on your 73 Good luck..

Thanks Mark. I couldn't figure what you were pointing out.

???????????????

Like what kind of stuff? Engine? Yes Transmission? Yes Dif.? Yes, with the mustache bar. Seats? Yes What do you want to use?

Should there be paint on the ID plate on the door jam? Makes me wonder if the car has already been smacked and repaired. I can't picture Datsun not removing the plate for paint to avoid overspray or paint from a bad masking job.

Was this car orig. in Lakeland, Fl.?

No problem Dale. Yes I'm looking for a 72-73. Good body, may need some work but not a complete rebuild. Solid frame rails. I'm tossing around the idea of a stock looking car, bumpers and all with a V8 under the hood. Have not fully decided yet. Engine condition may not be that much of an issue. Then again. I see you're in Tampa, I'm in Lakeland. Look forward to hearing from you. Maybe you should send your message as a PM.

Mine is a "serious inquiry" or I wouldn't have written! Vehicle details and prices would be good. Thanks

Maybe the 350Z should have looked more like Chris' pic.

Dale, What cars do you have for sale? Are they complete or parts cars?

Do you have the old YORK style compressor? They are big kinda square and weigh a ton. Usually mounted on the right front of the engine over the stock fuel pump. If the compressor is not leaking then you may not need to replace it. Check the compressor clutch. If that is where the noise is coming from then it can be replaced with out taking everything apart. Also check the ldler pully. The bearing can cause a fuss when under load. Have someone turn the A/C on while you are listening. If it's the clutch you'll know. Good luck.

Vicky, I had the same problem. Ran test to find the problem. No luck. Bought a battery kill switch. No more dead battery.

Maybe the 10k was because they were Porsche?
