The reason I mess up when talking about ChatGPT with my colleagues on campus…

Good morning, I didn't realize that Junkyard Jenny had parts for sale. 7 pages from what I can tell. I purchased them late last night not sure the condition, the photos look good. I'll still purchase your plated version if that's an option. I'll go down to my local dealer ship this week with some part members for cross referencing to see how helpful they can be.

Did you buy this set off eBay?? It shows sold as of yesterday. Junkyard Jenny has some nice parts at reasonable prices.

The nut on the brake line into the master cylinder is a metal on metal seal. If you have factory lines or CuNi lines then you should be able to get it to seal. If they're stainless, they can be much harder to get sealed

If the paint on the booster below the mounts of the MC has been eaten away sounds like the master is bad. Start there. Seating the lines on the master cylinder can be tricky.

The brake fun just keeps on comin! A few weeks back I found brake fluid in the engine bay below the master cylinder and the rear system's brake fluid reservoir was bone dry. I noticed the bolt that screws the rear-wheels' brake line into the bottom of the master was wet and could be tightened a good 3/4 turn, so I tightened it, bled the master, and the pedal felt great. Noticing both wheel cylinders were leaking, I replaced those this past week. I tried to take the car out tonight to test the brakes and noticed I needed to pump the pedal up to get the car to stop when coming out of the driveway. I checked in the engine bay and a fair bit of brake fluid was sneaking out between the brake line's bolt and the bottom of the master again despite tightening that bolt a few weeks prior. Is there a plastic/rubber seal there that has failed indicating I need a new master brake cylinder, or is that metal on metal which is now leaking for some reason? The car has been sitting for the better part of 9 months while I redid the floor's sound deadening/carpeting and it's odd that the entire rear brake system seemed to die at the same time. The wheel cylinders were last changed in 2016 and the master was changed in 2019.

OK, I'll bite. What does "salute you're typo" mean?

This bot is not like the others. The link actually leads to a real business. In Dubai.

"This conversation can serve no purpose anymore." You win this round of Spot The Bot!!

I can't add much to the bolt hunt that isn't already covered, but I just wanted to pop in here quick and salute you're typo.

eBay70-78 Datsun 240Z 260Z 280Z axle half shaft flange bolt +...USED rear half shaft nut, bolt and washer set for 1970-1978 Datsun 240Z, 260Z and 280Z cars. All are clean and the threads are good.

You want OEM then. The aftermarket bolts won't work for you? It's almost worth buying an old junk 280ZX, they use the same parts but the cars are cheaper. I bought a complete 1978 280Z parts car just for the transmission but ended up with a bunch of other useful parts.

Nissanparts.cc is my local dealer in Olympia, but I always try to look up the part numbers myself. Either with the physical parts book or Carpartsmanual.com @CB Garrett I found 3 bolts so far, I'll have more time to look this weekend.

Totally agree... web vers. in person deanships. You're right the Zecard Depot guys do have the nuts and bolts that I need but by the time I get through with those guys I'm at $225.

Good point I didn't realize my profile was lacking. Anyway, I'll do that now San Jose California

Your profile could be updated to show where you are. Many of us have parts laying around..

I use my local Nissan dealer. Call the parts department and give them the most recent superseded Nissan p/n and they can search nationwide and I for one haven’t paid any shipping costs. Used them multiple times over 5 years.

Roof in really nice shape….a surprise. Frame rails, outer rockers and floors toast ….not a surprise. Firewall, spare tire well and inner fenders are nice..surprise. Tunnel and inner rocker area in great shape, perfect to attach new floors. Have rails, need both floors. I’ve seen gnose cars trim lips off the rear to allow wider/lower tires/suspension. Debating on leaving them trimmed off, or replace entire rear quarters to have the complete outer rear well.

The first picture from the left shows a completed repaired hi- lo beam switch circuit board repair. The next 2 pictures show continuity on both of the hi- lo beam switch closed circuits. In the mail on the way I have a parts turn signal switch with broken hi- lo beam switch circuit board. In the near future I can detail my repair protocol if there is interest out in Datsunland.

I also used an electric knife on my seat foam and it worked just fine.

Thank you. I don't have a website. But I do have a switch with a repaired circuit board that I can shoot close up pix of and detail the repair process so folks at home can attempt the repair themselves. I wouldn't dream of trying to capitalize on something I am passing along for the fun of it. Stay tuned.

You can put your web site link in your sig. Probably help your advertising if you posted a picture of a repaired circuit board. We all like to look at stuff like that. Go to account Settings and Signature and put some stuff in the box. Click Save and it shows up underneath all of your posts.

Man, I should have kept my bucket of bolts from years of salvage yard parts picking. Prices are ridiculous. Forgot to say also that we've all been so trained to go directly to an internet search engine that we've forgotten about the local dealership parts department (no offense intended, I just know that's how I've been retrained). If you get the right guy, someone whose been around a while, they will know how to search nationwide inventory and get it sent. On the other hand, if you get some fresh rookie you'll have to guide them through how to search using a part number. I went through this recently with a different brand of car. Worth a call or two. Courtesy Nissan used to be the go-to place for old Nissan parts but they have faded away. Worthless today, their web site doesn't even work correctly.
