Tranny Bolts
I recall something about different specs for metric bolts. I usually purchase ss bolts from a local marine shop and the head is usually 1mm or 2mm bigger than on typical datsun bolts with the same diameter and thread. i.e. I would have to use a 13mm socket instead of a 12mm socket. Beware the Fat Heads!!!

Thinking about installing an BMW M6 engine in my Z
If you went to a dry sump, wouldn't there be a challenge of correct oil pressure rise needed to activate the Variable Valve Timing???? Dry sump is not tied to engine revs like a regular oil pump. Or is VVT centrifugally driven/triggered?

Bought a car that looks like a shoe today
Honda Insight 2 seater from 2000. I figured I'd stick it to the fuel companies. First drive was 50 mpg US gallon at 72 mph on highway for 60 miles. 3 cylinders and over geared.... just as gutless as my first car... an 83 Tercel Wagon 4X4. Web Photo in case the car is not familiar:

My Datsun 280Z "Rustoration"
Matt, You need to drive with your welding mask on... it would be classic like Norm's rant with a goalie mask on Zcars.com

Datsun Nissan Rental in Memphis ?
Can't seem to find a place that rents 370z's. Can anyone recommend a place that does or anyone want to rent a ride? Seems like a business idea for future ZCON's

It Ain't Running Right!
If your rpms are high and you take foot off gas to coast, the pistons are sucking hardest but the throttle plate is closed. This causes a huge vacuum in the manifold that sucks fuel from the idle enrichment circuit. If your idle is set to rich then too much fuel will be drawn through and it will build up in the exhaust and ignite making the popping sound.
