Here is a complete E88 cylinder head including valve cover. Ran when parked over 30 years ago. Lubed and free spinning. I would take $300 plus shipping for this head from a ClassicZCars member. Ebay Listing Here

Your car should not have a crank angle senser, that is for a turbo car. Your car is also pre 1980 when factory O2 sensers were just coming into play. Someone may have installed the O2 senser to try to adjust the AF ratio, but it is not factory. Have you checked to see if your Throttle Position Switch is adjusted correctly to let the ECU know the engine is at idle? What does the AF ratio do when you drive the car?

I’ve had amazing success with Amayama. Once you have found the correct/ superceded part number you basically type it in. If there is a chance they can find it they search first and then request payment. Shipping is amazingly fast.

I hit 70 mph today. Seemed to like it just fine. Not sure how it would like it for ten hours, but it seemed to like it for five minutes. Temps started creeping up a little, which is somewhat disconcerting since it was a cool evening. I have previously been through a (critter induced) radiator calamity, but was hoping it was mitigated to the point of being OK. Maybe I still need to do more... Running out of time!!!

Something's wrong with the first listing. Broken link. The $589 is "Buy it now" and the other is an auction, with three bids to $56. I don't know if EBay auctions have a reserve or not. I'd guess maybe the seller can just not complete the deal? From what I've seen, the way to set a reserve on eBay is to set the reserve as the minimum bid to beat. Maybe he forgot or doesn't know to do that. The $589 is $539 with a coupon.

Quite a blast from the past. Filling in the "rest of the story".

Still in original packaging, braided steel brake lines. $100 retail - I'll sell at $50 U.S.

Don't forget about the bronze valve seats that came OE in the E31. They're not good with the gas we use now but you can have them updated to steel for not much money if you're not currently running the head.

Looks like they are also for sale for $1000 BIN with free shipping. eBayAuthentic OEM Nissan Fairlady Z/Euro 70-78 Datsun 240z S3...A once in a lifetime find here! Original OEM Nissan headlight covers originally designed for JDM/Euro Fairlady Z cars. The OEM trim here looks 100 times better than the flat bar $800 reproduction trim

Try Amayama in Japan

Not the shipping tie downs but the ones that attach to frame maybe?

A good one. And you can't even here the Beatles.

How is that any more than just a guess - like the "I'm turning down the knob 2 1/16 turns"? Don't you need to know the AFR created by adjusting the jet position? And isn't the position different for varying temperatures and elevations?

@smdvr67 I would delete your personal contact info. Bots crawl the web looking for info like this! Only share personal info through Private Messaging / PM's

Right now it's on the motor, but I was surprised at how the empty cavities will flash rust in high humidity. I'm sure I will always have the obligatory rust. Hopefully some small bolt somewhere,. A speck is a sufficient qualifier... ;)

Recently swapped my 1.5 ohm Petronix Coil and 3.0 0hm resistor with a MSD Blast coil with no coil. Car runs much more better and does not hesitate on traffic jams. Problem is tachometer is not working. How can i fix this?

240Z rear control arm. Powder coated black. Straight. $25 ps Trying to get my garage and desk organized, I plan to list one part, with photo, every day. In the meantime here's a list, minus photos - if any one catches your attention, just write and I'll send photo. All parts are 240Z Two drive axles Two diff mounting springs Brake master cylinder Left headlight bucket pair of the battery and brake cylinder covers horn button heater - water connection New lowering coil spring set clutch and brake pedal assembly :

@Mike , There has been more spam added to the post by the bot.

My mechanic replaced a pertronix 1.5 0hms coil and 1.5 resistor coil with an MSD Blaster 2, 3 ohms coil. He got a better spark at idle and car runs much better. The thing is the stock 72 240z tachometer doesnt work any longer. Can someone give us directions on how to connect this correctly so it works as it did?

@Patcon the exterior will print smooth, it's a graphics display issue and how SolidWorks saves the .stl file. When you slice it for printing the surface is rendered smoothly. Will post a picture of the first sample print when it's done, I'll do a trial piece in laser sintered nylon first. This is a sample off the Prusa 3D printer in SLA, much smoother than the graphic rendering. With laser sintering it uses powder to print the object so the layer lines and polygons are smoothed out. These are for my own use, I have no plans to sell them.

I think we always lose control of it. All we can hope for is that science fiction is just that.... fiction. Star Trek ("The Ultimate Computer" for example) Matrix Terminator I Robot Ex Machina

I have a few hoods but it will depend on your definition of nice decent, they will all need a little work. A little South of Olympia.
