I don't know. "Authentic" isn't the word that makes the difference for me. Once the word "restoration" was in the sentence, (IMO) the answer could only be one way. Without the word "restoration", I would vote differently. It wouldn't affect authenticity (or value.) the car would still be Genuine Nissan or Datsun. re·store ( P ) Pronunciation Key (r-stôr, -str) tr.v. re·stored, re·stor·ing, re·stores 1. To bring back into existence or use; reestablish: restore law and order. 2. To bring back to an original condition: restore a building. See Synonyms at revive. 3. To put (someone) back in a former position: restore the emperor to the throne. 4.To make restitution of; give back: restore the stolen funds.

I don't know how that plays out. But, I wonder if that story is really true, and if so; how many cars was that done to? A handful? The first 50, 100, 500, 1000? What I really wonder is how apprx 70% of respondents to the poll have it wrong? (IMO) What could possibly be their justification?

That is what I've seen also.

It still wouldn't be an "authentic 1970 or correct part". It is my belief that Nissan makes these parts available as "substitute parts" that will "function in place of the original partr." I don't believe Nissan blesses these later parts in holy water and makes them "original" to earlier cars. No other manufacturer does, why would Nissan? And who would care if they did? The Collecter car market judges originality by it's own standards. Nissan isn't the one to judge originality (they build & sell cars and couldn't be bothered with originality issues; otherwise they would still be supplying the correct parts).

I have bought from them, and my "kit" #23-4137 provided all of the bushings for both sides of the rear suspension. They sell 2 kits. One for FRONT suspension #23-4136 and one for REAR suspension #23-4137. Two pieces of Polyeurethane make up each contgrol arm "bushing". Just make sure the kit covers Inner and Outer bushings. Total of 16 pieces of Polyeurethane would cover both sides of the rear. One FRONT and one REAR kit should do it for the whole car. Then you need the Mustache bar bushings, again one kit should have all you need.

I've had the crack in the fuel lines (so bad that fuel was leaking out of the hose), but the engine never died. I would think there is more to it than cracks in the hose to cause the engine to die. I can't see how cracks in the hose would stop fuel flow. I'd think an obstruction that gets washed away from the tank outlet when you add fuel would be more likely. Good brakes on the bike in your avatar! Oh, wait, it's animated, it took a while to load! JMO,

Been there several times. They have cars dating all the way back to the early 1900's. Such as Henry Fords famous #999 (1902), Ferrari's, Bugatti's, Talbot Lago, Jags, MG, almost any brand of race car you could imagine. Lots of great drivers attend also. Over the years I met & got autographs from Carroll Shelby there. Phil Hill, Dan Gurney, Jackie Stewart, and Emerson Fitipaldi too

Have you tried cleaning the battery cables or using a different battery? If the car has been sitting for 4 years, these would be my first steps.

A lot less darkness in France durring June than in FL durring Feb. also

Ah, another invaluable post from the guy who provides nothing to any thread that he posts to.

I don't know why they would need to be either, but that's how mine came from MSA. Having problems with just that one video, or others too?

Stewart / Lammers / Wallace are my favorites and picks to win.

Hi David Well there are still 4 "bushings" in each place, it's just that the 4 PU inner, and 4 PU outer bushings each need to be assembled, from a total of 16 pieces of PU. He didn't mention PU or aftermarket, so for simplicity I just gave the OEM part answer. Did you get the Bob and Tom "Beach Boys" parody video that I sent?

I watched the auction all of Saturday and Sunday, and most of Thursday and Friday. I didn't see any of them on TV. But I did hear some lame talk on a variety of subjects (mostly from Brock Yates).

I don't think that a hotter cam is going to get you very much more performance if the E31 head doesn't breathe better (bigger valves). Just my opinion. I can't really advise on a cam, as I've stuck with the stock grind, although I wouldn't go too radical if you plan to use the car as a daily driver. Some of the people at MSA have good advice, and others don't; in my experience. I would tend to believe the book over almost anyone (except Rebello Racing or Sunbelt Racing)

Sorry Nate, I really don't know. I would assume pointing to the rear, but that's just an assumption.

"IF" you can get the plastic breather vent out (without breaking it, remember it's 30 years old!) you could fill from there, but I have no idea what the exact quantity of fluid should be. Have you used something like PB Blaster, or Kroil to help coax the filler plug to loosen? I'd keep trying to loosen the fill plug, maybe with an extension "cheater" bar on your ratchet. If it was my car, the plastic vent would break the instant I tried to remove it.....and I'd overfill the diff. PS: Keep this lesson in mind when you go to drain the transmission, although you can fill from the reverse switch if need be. OH, and use ANTI-SEIZE on all fill and drain plugs!

There are 4 inner control arm bushings and 4 outer control arm bushings.

If you are rebuilding an L24, I recommend "How to Rebuild Your Nissan/Datsun OHC Engine". It will be the best $20 you ever spent and will answer all of your questions. MSA sells the headbolts also. http://www.zcarparts.com/store/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=70-1041

Just for saying that, If he wins it, you have to pull his finger!

Good deal Dave!

couldn't find it listed on their website

too bad they don't have a pic of the 72. I wonder how "restored" it really is?
