I sent a spare set to a plastic chromers who stripped them down but couldn't plate them. They will now be painted blank when the tail light panels get sprayed.

Thanks for the close up of the firewall showing the trottle linkage and more importantly the choke cable boot. It looks the same as the throttle boot. Might have to use the same boot on mine as I've moved to triple 44's. Great pics as always Kats, keep them coming. Does anyone know why the fresh air ducts are configured for the lower of the two radiator support bracket holes? Those repo ducts look great.

Kats, A question on the firewall insulator. Does the 432 have a different pattern to the HS30? Is that a new insulator? Couldn't take some measurements of it and PM it to me could you?

Some people have all the luck. $200..... I think you should be sleeping very well.

Nice work.

My zed would just like me to spend some time working on it. In fact, a lot of overdue time.

Biggest performance gains are all down to head work. But you really should be thinking about modifications as an on going thing. You'll get very little increase in power by just putting a set of extractors on it. To get the best out of them you really need to look at the carbs, ignition, cam and head work upgrades together. They are all related one way or another. Careful and educated planning is the key. Read up all the tech articles you can and build a picture of what you are after rather than fitting parts in a piecemeal fashion. One of the easiest mods to is change your diff to a 3.9 or 4.11. Just remember that that alone will increase acceleration but decrease top speed. Trade off's are everywhere.

IMO they look huge and detract from the look of the car. Out of proportion you could say. Maybe drop the ride height by a inch or two could make a difference but for me, all I see in that pic is wheels.

Check ouit this thread. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=28153 You'll see that the choke cable has been extended somewhat. Looks like it would work fine.

HS30-H (Alan T) has a black version on his ZG if I'm not mistaken. Wonder if the one for sale has been resprayed or is there a difference between the colours. It's going to a lot more than $10USD.

Body colour on my 70 and 73.

Mike, Parts car has no provision for the same thermo switch in top portion of the thermostat housing. However, the bottom housing has the temp sender and a threaded bung. Not sure if that was ever intended to have anything in it and there is no way of telling if someone had replaced the whole assembly when the L28 was installed. There are just too many modifications to the car to ever assume that anything is stock.

Parts car had 44PHH's onto a L28. The original L24 was chucked long ago. Thermo cover is a lot different than yours but I can't recall seeing a thermo switch there. I'll have a look when/if I ever find it amongst the crap in the garage.

Biggest expense I have is whatever I spend on the zed, my understanding wife spends equal amounts. Now if you only knew what I have spend so far, you'd feel my pain.

For things that are a pain in the arse to replace like the pressure plate and clutch, I'd buy genuine Nissan parts if you can afford it. You can be sure of the quality. OEM = Original Equipment Manufacturer = NISSAN.

Great to hear that you got close what you wanted for it.

Mike, Was it connected to anything? Maybe it is a thermo switch for an electric radiator fan???? Strange place to put it but it's been done before. Have you tried running the car without it connected?

New rear panels are available from MSA. The rear tail light panel has been off before. It should have been held on by plastic rivets. There will be rust on the rear panel as well as this is where the water would have drained to. Good luck with the pricing. It may not be to bad.

Brilliant!!!!!! I might just be able to straighten it now I have the measurement I need. Gotta love this place eh guys and gals.

Cheers Ron, exactly what I'm after. Can you balance a level between the two body mounting points and measure the distance to the floor. That way I will know which side is the correct height.
