I measured the plastic rivets on a 71 240z rear finisher panel: 5mm or 3/16" 6 required. -

I have one but I'm hanging on to it.

It is a sad and big loss to all. I am grateful for all he has done. My condolences to his family and close friends.
Sure Esprist, Please post them to this thread. Wouldn't it be great if every Z part was photo documented in a separate thread on this site? hint hint Here are pics of new part:
Floor pans should be done one side at a time with the transmission mount in place and reference measurements made of the tunnel to rocker spacing before cutting. One of the priorities is to ensure the transmission tunnel stays centered and does not get smaller.
you may be able to use gravity and geometry: lift car connect a pipe/wrench/bar so that one end is on the plug and the other on the ground in such a way that lowering the car turns the tool lower the car you can also use a block or jack stand to drop the tool handle on to if the ground is too far away
I am posting some photos of part details as I restore. Hopefully they can be of use in the future. I painted the light compartment white to improve output. Heat Shield (seems like engineering correction to alleviate melting plastic) 7.5W Retaining nut in place. Light leak at top edge. Gasket does not seal.
Thanks a million Bruce. I'll measure the volume displaced by a round-top float here in Canada and I can get the volume of the flat top floats when I get back to the USA thanks to the generosity of SteveJ providing a carb for the project.
Thanks a million!
I can move the trim part that runs left to right across the middle of the tail light. I would like to remove and paint it. Any tips on its removal? Is it 2 way tape or are there plastic studs that go into the red plastic body that are glued/fastened/melted on the inside?
This guys is an expert on Z's and plating: http://www.zeddsaver.com/ Ring him up if you have questions or need parts plated.
I'm not saying good bye 'cause I know you can't shake the addiction. Mark my words prodigal son Arne
Dang, that needs your visual investigation to continue. My guess is that the problem is at the alternator or in the wiring between the alternator and the battery or fusebox. Does the alternator smell burned? I did a quick check of the wiring diagram and there seems to be two fusible links on the 72. One at the starter and one at the alternator: http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/wiringdiagrams/72_240z_wiring.pdf
Just called the seller: Nismo R180 E88 head with mild cam Cannon headers Nismo sway bars SU Carbs Oil rings shot(burns oil/smokes), paint faded, dash cracked, rusted rails, ziebarted so unknown underneath, front damaged from towing and from an accident on the track, carbs and fuel lines need attention.
This one is near me. I was sort of thinking of it but nahhh it is British and only 4 cylinder. If you are interested I could check it out and photo-document http://cnj.craigslist.org/cto/2591306198.html I helped a member of the Calgary Z club get a Pantera near me in 2005 For low priced cool cars like the Z, there are not many... maybe an Opel GT but the performance just isn't there. Ok an AMC Javelin (I always like that odd ball). Or maybe: http://www.factoryfive.com/gtmhome.html Do like I did and spend $10k on an S2000. You can have fun and think about it for a year then sell the S2000 for what you invested once you have a target.
Lotus Europa would be an interesting "next" project. I beams and fiberglass.
good decisions!
I like the lighter tints of silver similar to those typically on Merc's.

When I changed my 5 speed transmission oil I put in nearly 2 litres. (Refer to the table below) For your fuel consumption, check the resistance of your coolant temperature sensor's functioning first at the ECU pins then at the sensor's pig tails using a hand held multimeter set to measure resistance (ohms). Do this with engine cold and with engine hot. Also check the colour of the plugs.
